As I have previously said, I will change many elements of HSD, mostly with the way cultivation works in the book. The characters will stay the same, the places will stay the same, the plotline will not change (although it is not really shown up till now). As it would be weird for  current and new readers to adapt to this sudden change, I decided to rewrite most of the chapters of the book (some will stay but 70% or so will be changed). Added to the fact that the first few chapters are incredibly sloppy (shame on me), I truly think that this a the best choice for both you, the readers, the book and myself. As I am currently doing summer work (which is also one of the reasons why the latest chapter was delayed), this update will only come around the 17th of August. When the time will be right, I will update all the chapters in one shot and upload the latest one (might also add an extra). I recommend quickly reading the new chapters, especially Knowledge of Cultivation so that you don't get lost.

i'm still active for those who wanted to know. It's just that I am really thinking out in details the plot for Volume 1 and vaguely for volume 2 and 3. Also, I have been thinking really hard on which cultivation arts and other techniques will be used by the MC and how they work in detail. Id say that that is the most complicated part as it involve multiple Daos, abilities,growth curves, incompatibilities with other techniques and so on. I thought so hard about how cultivation and what while be the Dao Seeking path in the novel that I already have plans to change the cultivation base separation system (although they are for future cultivation base, not something that will be reached in volume 1). As I have read many xianxia for inspiration, many premade and selfmade cultivation techniques are on my mind right now and I have to sort things out. Next chapter is 75% done. I would have had finished it long ago but I just made a BIG change in the Dao behind True Demonic Body Virtues as I found that it was much too simple.
          
          Thanks for the support! You may not know it but everytime somebody votes, it makes my motivation boost for like 24 hours before it return to a normal, but still high, level. In those 24 hours, I get a lot of idea like the one that I will include in True Demonic Body Virtues. I recommend reading some other xianxia's such a Against the Gods (if you just want a good story). The xianxia I trully recommend is I Shall Seal the Heavens (the first 100 chapters are a bit boring but if you push through them an amazing story in all aspects, except romance, awaits you) since you will have a pretty good idea of Daoist, Devilish and Demonic magic and Dao if you read through the latest chapter (around 800 if I am correct).

@CodeDonut i wouldnt say that i am "taking" ideas from other novel. What I do is see how a certain Dao can be used. For example, one of the recent ISSTH chapters made me understand a bit more how the Karma of the Ji clan works (although I dont need this for now). Another novel is True Martial World, as it explained well the concept of duo cultivation and concept of solitude Yang and lonely Yin. Although I gain a lot of inspiration, I must say that a lot of the techniques or body improvements I have in mind have never really been seen in other xianxias. I have one element which is seen a few xianxias, but I however intend to push it much further.
