📖 Pursuit of the Truth (Complete)
Fan translation available. Less mainstream — worth hunting down.
Should You Read This?
Er Gen completionist read. More philosophical and bleaker than A Will Eternal or Renegade Immortal. Best read after you've already experienced one or two Er Gen novels to appreciate his evolution as a writer.
About Pursuit of the Truth
Er Gen's darkest and most philosophical novel. Su Ming's cultivation journey is also an existential exploration of identity, memory, and what it means to persist across cosmic time. Pursuit of the Truth is slower and more introspective than Er Gen's other works — and more rewarding for it.
Original title: 求魔 (Qiú Mó) — translated to English and available for Western readers.
