Yes please pick it up, even if VPAA: The Prequel is clearly not a masterpiece, it's still for me a really enjoyable read because it's a lightheartly read with a mc is overpowered, really rich and gather beauty like Pokemons, mc don't struggle against death every 2 chapters so we can rest and let fall the pressure and after continue to read more serious novels. I become personally tired of classic Xuanhuan and Xianxia so i like to read this kind of novels. If it's really picked up by Qidian, i hope they will continue the translation frop volume 2 chapter 170 and not restart from the beginning.
(Sorry for my broken english, it's not my native language but i hope it's at least readable XD)
