Chiyo Gen, a good citizen of the Three Good Citizens, was forced to work by an unscrupulous two-dimensional god. What is the two-dimensional god?! Fall orz. In short, under the strong request of a group of two-dimensional believers, I, an ordinary [actually not ordinary] Yokohama nanny gloriously traveled through time. Although there is a system with no bottom line, in short, I became a genius in the eyes of the wooden pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps, including but not limited to creating the Breathing of Wood, becoming the darling of the Butterfly House, and being forced to marry by Fuzukawa. "Ahhhhhh, I told you it was an accident, don't come over." Everyone in the Demon Slayer Corps: Ahhhhhhh, kiss me, kiss me, why don't you kiss me! Fuzukawa, we hate you.

Zhou Yi woke up and found himself in the Taiping Daoist Temple.

The old Celestial Master said, "Heaven has perished, the Yellow Heaven shall rise. From now on, you are the leader of the Taiping Sect."

Zhou Yi: "What, me?"

...

A failed art student, bringing order to a chaotic jianghu!

The Tang Dynasty failed to mend the sky, and demons were everywhere, and ghosts coveted it.

The three religions of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism inherited the ancient immortal tradition, and refined instruments with bamboo, tea, silk, salt, rice, and porcelain to suppress ghosts and lock the underworld.

Wu Qi used the map of impermanence to contain hundreds of ghosts, and used incense to support the exiled immortals.

The thirty-six heavenly kings, the seventy-two earthly soldiers, ghosts, monsters, and demons are all included in my map.

It does not torture the owner, so feel free to watch.

After entering the world of cultivation, Gong Zhuang originally intended to expand his power through the profits he earned from dungeon raids! But the problem quickly arose: what should he do with all his spoils? Ant Realm—hiding here and there, shooting and moving! Daoist Fellow Realm—negotiating with all parties, cleansing the boat! Senior Realm—why should I explain my actions to you? When he finally reached the pinnacle of this realm, he saw the countless Dao Lords and expressed his heartache. "Ask me to ascend?" "But you won't even honor me as the Supreme Saint Master!"

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.
