"Friends, standing before you is the master of the system lottery; the insect-catching thief harvester; the nightmare of all shorts-wearing boys; the idol of countless boys and girls; the second-in-command of Team Rocket; the uncrowned king of the underworld; the youngest champion in history; the master of all-attribute domination; Luo, the light of the alliance, Yuan!"

Gu Nuoyan, unwilling to make a promise, lay flat on his back. But faced with the various fairies' requests to become his companions, he panicked. "Wait a moment, I'll simulate the results first." [At eighteen, on the first day, fairies want to become your companions, and you resist.] [On the second day, you're surrounded and captured.] [On the third day, they force you to choose one, and you refuse.]... [On the Nth day, you lose, become destitute, and are left with nothing.] Seeing the simulated outcome, Gu Nuoyan fled without a word. A companion? There's no way I'll ever have one in this life. Women, get out of here! The realms are simple and easy to understand: Cultivation levels are divided into the first level and the ninth level. The sixth level and below are known as the lower six levels. The seventh through ninth levels are known as the upper three levels. Breaking through from the sixth to the seventh level requires the test of one's inner demons.

The continuation of Snail's Demon God Records, Nie Li and his companions practice in the Book of Time and Space Demon Spirits, and gradually discover and solve mysteries over time, becoming stronger and fighting against the Holy Emperor. Mysteries of the previous life began to surface, and the secret of rebirth also had a clue, but things went against their wishes. On the way to find the answer, Nie Li and his companions encountered obstacles one after another: the conspiracy of the Holy Emperor, the power of the previous life, the secret of the Black Demon Forest... Challenges are still waiting for Nie Li and his companions. Can he and his companions break the endless time and space of the Holy Emperor? Wait and see! ...

When Ye Chen woke up, he found himself in the Nine Nether Continent. Before he could even figure out his situation, a system notification sounded in his mind, indicating that there was only one core mission—to take on disciples, prove his Dao through his disciples, and rise to power.

"Ding! A prodigy with a aptitude of 100 has been detected. Taking him as a disciple will unlock the [Supreme Emperor Weapon] awakening reward!"

"Ding! A peerless talent with a aptitude of 100 has been detected. You can receive a [Emperor-level Cultivation Technique] upon accepting him as your disciple!"

"bite!……"

Ever since taking on a disciple, Ye Chen's protective instincts have been off the charts. One day, upon hearing that someone dared to bully his disciple, his eyes turned cold: "Where is your sect?"

Before the words were even finished, a colossal cauldron, ten thousand feet tall, descended from the sky and smashed directly into the opponent's mountain gate. When the dust settled, the provocateur was completely dead.

Centuries later, legends about the "Heavenly Palace" circulated throughout the Nine Nether Continent, moving all who heard them:

"You're saying those saintly ancestors who have lived for countless ages are vying to join the Heavenly Palace? And they only want to be menial servants?"

"You're saying that a supreme rogue cultivator who once dominated a region, fought tooth and nail to get into the Heavenly Palace, only to end up guarding the gate?"

"You're saying that even quasi-emperors have to pull strings and beg to get into the Heavenly Palace, just to secure an elder position?"

"What's even more outrageous is that some people say there are as many saints as fish crossing a river in the Heavenly Palace, supreme beings are everywhere, and even the number of Great Emperors is more than the number of core disciples in our sect?"

Without any fancy isekai effects, a veteran Honkai Impact 3rd couch potato suddenly finds himself in the Marvel Universe—along with most of the contents from his old, worn-out game account. The Hyperion, the Valkyries, and... a bunch of junk weapons. (Wait, where’s my floating island base?)

To top it off, there's a mysterious gacha system. Until he pulled this item, Mo Xiao thought the system could only summon stuff from the Honkai game.

[Pink Bunny Plushie]

[Type: Longsword]

[Effect: A very sharp longsword. When swung, the user involuntarily shouts “Adorable Xin-chan!”]

My name is Han Yanling, a reborn individual with the SSS-level talent [Valkyrie].

Previous life

I am the Empress of Earth.

The star gate opened wide, countless alien races descended, humanity was wiped out, and I perished.

This life

I know I am powerless to change the situation.

Before the Star Gate opened, she married Su Xuan, only wishing to die without regrets.

...

My name is Su Xuan, a transmigrator, and the only Omega-level talent in the universe.

The stargate opened wide, and a bunch of trash jumped out. I wiped them out with a wave of my hand.

My empress wife quietly asked me, "Why are you so ridiculously strong?"

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.
