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.

Introduction 2:
"stop!"
"I'm talking to you! Why are you running?!"
"Take off your headscarf to verify your identity."
...
"You will form the most powerful team of brave men. You and your partners will create an immortal legend!"
"Oh? So who are my partners this time?"
"A skilled demon who is active in the shadows; a cold and decisive blood-sucking person who kills without blinking an eye. A handsome fox demon who has mastered the supreme wisdom. A mighty underground dwarf who can fight ten people at once. And..."
"Stop, aren't there any creatures from the good camp in my team?"
"Yes, for example...ah...for example..."
"Be decisive now!"

His origins are a mystery, and he’s taken in by a shrine maiden from the Inari Shrine—his mother’s friend.
But he soon discovers… she’s not human. She’s a yōkai.
Well, she’s beautiful, so maybe that’s not a dealbreaker.

The protagonist is emotionally stable and has a decent outlook on life. He is definitely not a saint.
In 2030, a group of mysterious people calling themselves the Order appeared on Blue Planet.
They brought about the end of the world, but at the same time gave humanity a glimmer of "hope" for survival.
They selected 1,200 lords from around the world and granted them territories. The lords need to continuously clear dungeons to develop their territories and build them into the last safe haven for mankind.
While other lords were struggling to fight in thrilling dungeons, Ling Jue accidentally started playing a development game in the dungeon.
A powerful witch, raised!
Raise a fox demon with a sweet tooth!
Raise the AI that wants to destroy the world!

There's another lone Orderer? Hmm... let's try raising it too!
I raised you for ten years!
Is this how you repay me?!
There was something strange in that bowl of soup, wasn’t there?
Stop—don’t you dare try to charm me!
Hypnosis isnt allowed either!
Get out of my room, AAAAAAA——
Got captured.
But even if I’ve turned into a stunning fox demon, I absolutely refuse to become your furnace!
Don’t even think about dual cultivating with me, you evil dragon!
The next day—So good~
