Personal Recommendation:
Renegade Immortal is an epic tale of the main character, Wang Lin, as he is thrown into the world of cultivation. He learns to adapt to this cruel world and climbs his way to the top with his average talent. The story is very well structured and nothing ever feels like it drags on for too long. There is no harem and the main character faces a lot of struggle rather than having stuff handed to him. Much more serious and darker than other stories but still very enjoyable.
