I was reading this novel a year ago which was about our mc that had the ability to go back to the same old village shed whenever he died. He tries to kill the evil village head once or twice and ends up suffering. He gets a mysterious book if i am not wrong from a cave with some mechanism trap. It allows him to keep returning. He also repeatedly eats those special lotus thingy that increase his cultivation.... Thats all i remember... Wait i remembered something theres a book in the royal treasury in the same language as that mysterious dark book of our mc. Also he meets many influential people including a taoist/monk?and helps him cleanse a few villages but ends up dying to the monsters
To be blunt, the "official" translation site actually uses another method of translation, KR to CN before trying to manually CN to ENG
