Sword Xia of the Shu Mountains《蜀山劍俠傳》by Huanzhu Louzhu 還珠樓主 (lit. Master of Returning Pearl Loft) was published between 1932 and 1948 and is one of the most influential wuxia novels of all time. Many of the elements in this novel became standard tropes of the wuxia genre. It is also the forefather of the modern xianxia cultivation novel. Huanzhu’s cultivation system became the standard, fusing the Daoist quest for transcendence with the Buddhist reincarnation cycle and tribulation system, as well as the Confucian virtue of humaneness 仁 and the chivalrous xia 俠 archetype. At over 4.1 million Chinese characters, it is also one of the longest wuxia novels, though it remains unfinished due to the civil war in China. So the first cultivation novel was also eunuched—rather fitting.

The story follows multiple protagonists as they gradually gather together, fighting heretical sects and spirit elementals on their way to founding the Mount Emei Sect. Most outstanding among these protagonists is Li Yingqiong, who begins the novel as a girl with no martial arts abilities, and through the course of the novel cultivates to become a transcendent (aka immortal).

In this novel, plants, animals, and monsters can all become human and cultivate to transcendence, or lose their primordial spirit (aka nascent soul) and have to start all over, or be obliterated completely after failing their tribulation. Grotto-heavens and magic treasures abound, and we see the beginning of sects as major organizations in wuxia novels with important roles in the plot, such as Emei, Qingcheng, Mount Hua, Wudang, Mount Huang, Snowy Mountain, Kongtong, Kunlun, and Wutai, as well as the emergence of what would later become the archetypal eccentric beggar character. There are miraculous drugs, sword kinesis, and battles between mythical beasts, and heretic cultivators trying to cheat their way to a faster transcendence. In short, pretty much all of the elements one normally sees in the typical xianxia cultivation webnovel.

Asking help from others is better than asking help from yourself, and worshipping Buddha is worse than worshipping yourself!

This is the story of a time traveler who traveled through the heavens, overlooking the past, present and future...

He tried his best to participate in this dreamlike world, but he could do nothing.

Alluring beauties, chivalrous knights, immortal masters, emperors of ancient and modern times, all could not resist the long passage of time.

The flickering candlelight seemed to be explaining the glory of the past, and it seemed to be telling the desolation of seeking immortality.

The candlelight is dim and unchanging.

After an accident, Luo Qingxiao is transmigrated to a world full of spirits. He arrives to witness the most terrifying aspect of this world—a spirit siege on a city.

Fortunately, the siege seems to have just ended. After much trouble, he finally makes it back to a safe city.

This is a world where humans and spirits live together. Spirits are the true darlings of the world, possessing incredible powers. Countless spirits like the Frost Bird, the Blazing Sun Flower Spirit, the Thunder God, the Fighting Emperor Dragon, etc. live in this world.

Humans were once only able to eke out a living until the emergence of the True Spirit Contract changed everything. This contract allows humans and spirits to form a miraculous bond: the spirits grow stronger with the help of humans, and the humans command the spirits in battle.

Now, humans have occupied most of the world's territories. After living in this world for nine years, Luo Qingxiao finally embarks on his journey to become the strongest trainer.

[Hot-Blooded Fantasy + Domineering and Exhilarating] Lu Chenxuan, the Immortal God of War, was so powerful that he threatened his master. He was cruelly plotted against and stripped of his immortal veins, banished to the mortal realm. However, by chance, he obtained the "Chaos Devouring Heaven Art"! I devour everything in the world. I, Lu Chenxuan, will soar through the nine heavens, slay evil spirits, shock ghosts and gods, shatter the laws of heaven, and roar in defiance of all living things!

Chen Cuo had crossed over to the Chen Dynasty of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, becoming an imperial clansman. Expecting to tread a path of historical intrigue, he never anticipated the world's sudden surreal turn.

"Qi refinement, spirit cultivation, merits of faith... seems I've no choice but to seek immortality and ascension first."

Thus begins his journey—

By the willow shade, beneath pine shadows,

Spine steeled, all worldly ties released;

Reining in the Monkey of the Mind, bridling the Horse of Will—

Only whispers of eternal life grace the moonlit breeze.

And as the ancients proclaimed:

The Heavenly Dao lies vast and unseen,

Spirits and gods shrouded in mist.

Yet when the sun declines at noon,

Shadows emerge from the Ninth Abyss.

Traveling to the magical world, Liu Xuan relies on his talent to enter the national government team, and he helps to win the championship.

It looks like a dream, like a divine being, like a purple starlight soul hidden in a sea of flowers...

Animals, plants, elements, spirits...

This is a world where humans and myriad spirits coexist. Contracting, evolving, raising, and battling are the main themes of everything.
