What makes a martial artist? The exertion of strength. What makes a chivalrous hero? The exertion of spirit and will. ...A kick decides victory or defeat, a punch determines life or death. "I practice the Netherworld Technique, I've learned my lesson!"

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.

After sixteen years of studying opera, he stepped onto the stage to vanquish demons and gods.

He played Bao Gong, and the ghosts cried out for justice as Yama, the King of Hell, was beheaded by the dragon-headed guillotine.

I'll impersonate Zhong Kui, vanquish demons across the land, and capture evil spirits to enjoy with my wine.

The dancing Guan Yu, with his unwavering righteousness, sweeps away all injustice with his Green Dragon Crescent Blade.

Singing of the Great Sage, with his mighty cudgel rising, the jade sky is cleared of dust for ten thousand miles!

...

"A mere actor dares to pretend to be a god?"

Deep within the Yin Mountains, a ghost king uttered a mocking voice.

"An actor?"

Zhou Sheng suddenly opened his phoenix eyes, Guan Gong's robe billowed without wind, and his crescent blade trembled with a dragon's roar.

"Waaaaah!"

The painted-face singer's voice is like a thunderclap from a clear sky, accompanied by the rapid beat of gongs and drums. The Azure Dragon splits open the gates of hell and single-handedly goes to the meeting to capture the demon!

With all the demons vanquished, Zhou Sheng stood stroking his beard and began reciting lines in a theatrical style.

"The demonic aura has vanished, and the world is now clear and bright. You must remember:"

I am—the Marquis of Hanshou, the Great Emperor Xietian, the Holy Lord Guan!

"A beautiful woman?" the male protagonist said in a low voice.

The crowd beat him up, shouting, "Longevity! Longevity!" The male protagonist replied, "Without beautiful women, what's the point of longevity!"

The author relentlessly attacked: "If you don't achieve immortality, even if you seduce all the beauties of this generation, how many will you have? Don't you want the beauties of a hundred years from now? Don't you want the beauties of a thousand years from now?"

The male protagonist, having repented of his past mistakes, roared, "I want immortality..."
