Street Cultivation is average as fuck story that's known only because it has a servicable plot and it's the only known finished modern-setting xianxia. Otherwise, it's perfectly average. The picrel meme is real.
I'd recommend Defiance of the Fall, but it takes time for it to hit its xianxia stride, too much of a progression litrpg in the first two books. Other than that, there is very little xianxias worth recommending, like at all. The trashiest genre around. Only Infinity Realms is seriously good, but it's a hardcore litrpg at the same time.

If there is no another series with Lindon and the team after Cradle series is over, then it would be a massive disappointment and waste of everyone's time to show so much Abidan plot. What's the point if all of this exposition and set-up for the great cosmic war goes nowhere? Such a big universe, myriad of realms and planets, entire galaxies, powers and technology that would make inhabitans of Cradle shit themselves.

On the other hand, the author might simply not be good enough to write a plot that isn't quick power-upping. Not a great flaw, but that would we are getting another Progression Fantasy series from zero. Knowing the audience, he might try with a Litrpg this time.

I'm looking forward to his future works, either way.
