The sky is dark, the earth is dark, and humans and ghosts are on the same path.

Gu Xu, with three talents, traveled to a world of cultivation where demons were rampant, and became an ordinary clerk in the Exorcist Department of the Great Qi Dynasty.

He just wanted to practice quietly and seek immortality.

However, he accidentally turned the world upside down.

A martial arts rookie with a narration system that changes the fate of himself, the protagonist, and the supporting characters.

There are already "Swordsman", "Heavenly Swordsman", "Young Zhang Sanfeng", "Golden Silk Rain"......

Lin Yi accidentally traveled to the world of immortal cultivation and became a spiritual farmer of the outer sect of Liuyun Sect.

In this cruel world of immortality, he decided to keep growing, but as a result, he awakened the title system!

"The host is cautious and does not seek the limelight, earning the title [Little Gou's Generation]"

"The host carefully takes care of the spiritual field and earns the title [Little Farmer]"

"The host practices the exercises every day, his perseverance is commendable, and he is awarded the title [Leveling Novice]"

He discovered that these titles had different magical effects, so he gradually became a master of cultivating immortals!

(System + Empress + Single Female Lead + Cautious MC)

Xiao Fan, an ordinary man from Earth, transmigrated to the Qianlong Continent and awakened the "Heaven’s Fate Divine Seer System."

The system could calculate the secrets of the past and future.

By telling fortunes for others, he earned points.

Points could be exchanged for a wide variety of powers—

They could even block all kinds of attacks.

…

The protagonist couldn’t cultivate and appeared to be just a regular person most of the time.

However, by spending points, he could temporarily gain invincible strength.

The empress was stunningly beautiful and immensely powerful.

She believed the protagonist to be powerless—

and tried to protect him at every turn.

Until one day, the protagonist suddenly unleashed an overwhelming power, shocking countless people!

There is a corpse of a strong man here, swallow it!" Song Nan's cultivation level increased rapidly.

"His sword skills are pretty good. He swallowed the corpse!" Song Nan displayed the sword skills in a blink of an eye.

Practicing cultivation is difficult. The difficulty lies in the bottleneck of the practice realm that cannot be broken through, and the difficulty lies in the inability to master advanced martial arts and body techniques. Song Nan looked at others, "Practicing is not difficult."

[Villain + Cool story + Invincible + Relaxed + Fast pace + More]

Lu Chen traveled through time and space to become the son of the villain in a fantasy novel and obtained a god-level selection system.

At the beginning, the protagonist's sister came to beg her to let the destined protagonist go.

[Ding, the destined heroine Ye Lingxi comes to help the host practice, and asks the host to let Ye Bufan go, triggering the god-level choice! ]

[Choice 1: Since you, Lingxi, have spoken, this Saint Son will not argue too much with Ye Bufan. As for the deal, let it go. I will reward Ye Lingxi with +10 favorability.]

[Choice 2: Haha, I was just joking just now. I and Ye Bufan are irreconcilable. You can go now. I will reward you with 1 piece of Ye Lingxi's underwear.]

[Choice 3: This Saint Son’s words are as good as gold. As long as you do it, everything will be fine! Reward: Supreme Bone*1. ]

…………

This, this is still a choice? It must be the Supreme Bone.

In order to change his own destiny, Lu Chen had to slowly trigger the choices, hunt the protagonist, and take away everything from the protagonist.

From now on, a great villain who dominates the heavens and the world is rapidly rising.

Your opportunity, your beauty, your life...all belong to me!

……

The Reticent Blade is, first and foremost, a wuxia novel, meaning that the world and its character’s powers and abilities are more grounded. Instead of cultivators who can soar through the heavens and shatter planets, you will find martial artists who can still perform superhuman feats but not so fantastical as to tear through space or achieve immortality.

The world of The Reticent Blade is one of medieval China, loosely based upon the time period of the Ming Dynasty. It is a time of chaos and strife, where war and death are rampant. We follow the intertwining story of several protagonists and antagonists as they navigate the chaotic times, unraveling the threads that connect the past, the present, and the future of the world.

The Reticent Blade is a story of heroism, love, revenge, and cruelty.

The Reticent Blade is a story of both the righteousness and vileness of the Jianghu.

Official Blurb:

Someone once asked me, "What is the jianghu?"

I thought for a moment, and what came to mind was…

A jug of unrefined wine on a weathered table,

A lone silhouette fading into the distance under the setting sun,

A nameless grave bathed in moonlight,

The smoldering incense in my grasp, its final wisps dissipating.

They then asked me, "Where is the jianghu?"

I smiled faintly and lifted my gaze beyond the window. Out there, beneath the vast heavens, countless jianghus lay.

A single soul carries his own story.

When two paths cross, a jianghu is born.

【System】+【Synthesis】+【Steady】+【Old Six】

After traveling through the fairyland, fortunately the infinite synthesis system was activated.

"Brother, the secret realm is open, shall we go together?"

Lin Yuan: "No, I want to retreat."

"Junior brother, you must be careful when you go to the market, and prepare some things."

Lin Yuan: "Okay, I'll prepare a little bit."

"Elder, the demon king is coming! Let's run."

Lin Yuan: "What realm?"

"It's the late Jindan stage! Elder, please leave quickly."

Lin Yuan calmly glanced at the Nascent Soul in his head, pondering how to fight more reasonably.

Alias: "Start by synthesizing the Enlightenment Tea, Steady and Unbeatable" and "Infinite Synthesis, Quietly Amaze Everyone"
