Demons, gods, strange stories, and the martial arts world.

In the tavern, the barmaid smiled and avoided the hands of others, her tail swaying under her skirt; in the night market, no one knew how many of the people under the hoods were human and how many were ghosts; tigers were walking on the mountains and rivers, and an old dragon was sleeping in Dongting Lake.

A sword, a man, and a book.

The road is ahead, the way is in the heart, and the sword is in the hand.

Kill the demons and monsters, and the immortals and gods will retreat.

When the True Lord arrives, there are no taboos.

Opening the history books, the water veins of the world and the vast ocean in the east always make people feel terrified between the lines of the pages.

Fortunately, as early as the first year of the Han Dynasty, the nine heavenly spirits descended to make a covenant with people and established the Three Officials Alliance.

With [Lord of the Land and Grain·True Dragon Emperor] as the respect, the Three Officials of Heaven, Earth and Water are worshipped as the main worship, forming a Shinto official system covering all kinds of people, inside and outside:

walking on the mountains and collecting water, leading the fire to rob the bucket, leading the sheep to play with the monkey, Lu Ban ghostwriting, gold dot orchid... everything is included.

Since then, for a thousand years, the Three Officials have been on duty and cursed the mountains and seas!

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.

This path has many ups and downs. People come, people go.

Jiang Ling did not have the makings of a martial artist. She once felt inferior, but with a heart full of optimism, she sought another path.

In the world on top of the mountain, all she had were her shifu, shijie, and shixiong. When she entered Jianghu, she had to start over from the beginning, and He Xi bursted into her life. This was the first time she had met a foreign woman, and sure enough, she’s as different as the books say. In her ignorance, Jiang Ling did everything with her until she finally started to panic.

⸺ What in the world is wrong with me?

“Don’t avoid me, I grew up on the mountain, and I haven’t seen much of the world.”

From opposing each other across a sea of blood to finally joining hands to walk the same path, Jiang Ling has hated and she has loved.

In the tenth year of Tianbao, the heroic emperor Gao Yang played the hip-bone pipa and sang by himself. The accompaniment was bizarre, absurd, terrifying, desperate and painful.
