Although both novels had urban elements, their story backgrounds, cultivation methods, and character settings were different. The urban immortal cultivation usually took place in the modern city. The story was about the protagonist improving his strength by cultivating the reiki or immortal techniques in the city to achieve a breakthrough in life. Cultivation methods usually included refining pills, cultivating spells, cultivating internal energy, and so on. Meanwhile, the urban cultivation story mainly told the story of the protagonist who obtained extraordinary strength through cultivating various mysterious cultivation techniques in the ancient city and established himself in the ancient society. Cultivation methods usually included learning ancient cultivation methods, cultivating the sect's secret techniques, searching for mysterious treasures, and so on. Although urban cultivation and urban cultivation both had urban elements, their story backgrounds, cultivation methods, character settings, and other aspects were different, so they did not belong to the same type of novel.
