Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils: I Conquer the Heavens by Stealing Qi

Zhao Xuantong was born into the world of Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils, but the timing was unbelievably awful: he transmigrated 46 years before the story began. Worse, he had no golden finger, no System, and no wise old mentor. As a child, he was destitute and nearly starved to death on the streets. At six, Zhao Zongshi took him in, and from then on he had a government job in the Great Song. During a mission, he unexpectedly obtained the Emperor’s Yin Talisman Scripture, setting him on the path to invincibility. “Heaven and earth rob all things; all things rob man; man robs all things. When these three acts of theft are properly balanced, the Three Powers are at peace. Thus it is said: Eat at the right time and the body will be well; act at the right moment and all transformations will be at peace. Use the Five Elements in reverse and seize Yin and Yang in their natural order. Steal the energy of heaven and earth before it emerges, and replenish your own essence.” From then on, the wuxia world unfolded beneath Zhao Xuantong’s hand. Year after year passed, and the energy of heaven and earth grew scarcer. From Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils to The Legend of the Condor Heroes, The Return of the Condor Heroes, The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber, and then The Deer and the Cauldron, all the way to modern martial arts, Zhao Xuantong remained behind the scenes, stealing the last remnants of energy from heaven and earth to ascend to immortality, until he encountered those few men...
