The New Legend of Zhu Xian

A calamity wrought by a demonic cult crushes the ordinary peace of a mountain village. Zhang Xiaofan, who escapes the massacre by hiding in a mountain god's temple, follows the Nine-Fingered Old Man into the Red Cloud Sect and sets foot on the path of cultivation. With mediocre talent, he hones his path through perseverance. Burdened by a blood feud, he tempers his true heart between life and death. Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment, trials in the mortal world; Golden Core and Nascent Soul, fierce competition in secret realms; Spirit Transformation and Void Refinement, roaming the world unchallenged; Body Integration and Tribulation Transcendence, facing the thunder of the Ninth Heaven head-on. Righteousness and evil collide, fellow disciples become entangled, and blood feuds clash with choices on the Great Dao. When the tribulation thunder finally disperses, at the edge of the mortal realm, the gate to the spirit realm slowly opens. Zhang Xiaofan looks back on half a lifetime, then steps into the void and departs. This novel and its characters are entirely fictional.
