A monumental fantasy novel. Pangu enters nirvana, but the Holy Lord never appears. The gods contend for power and profit, wielding divine might to throw the world into chaos and shatter the primordial world. This brings about the return of the Five Divine Demon Emperors, who seal everything beneath the firmament with a curse. History remembers this as the “Calamity of Ten Thousand Gods.”
In this primordial world of forests, swamps, deserts, wastelands, strange pools, and secluded valleys, venomous insects infest the land and strange beasts roam. Danger lurks everywhere. This is the land of death that existed before the dawn of history. Yet humanity survives between heaven and earth by relying on its innate instincts. The strongest among them regard themselves as gods, dividing up the primordial world with their wisdom and strength and ruling these perilous lands. Thus the myriad nations of the primordial world are born. Amid bloodshed and slaughter, a boy who survives inside a serpent’s belly, in swamps, beneath divine swords, and within traps rises through the tide of savagery and civilization, destruction and creation. Favored by Heaven, he encounters one opportunity after another, steadily awakening his latent wisdom and power until he forges an undying body, transcends all mortal things, and roams among the myriad nations of the primordial world. In this world where strength decides everything, after countless brushes with death, he finally comes to understand love, hatred, and the ties that bind people together. He also grasps the law of this primordial world, where everyone seeks only power and no rules exist: wisdom and strength rule all! In the end, this outsider, revered as the founding ancestor of Huaxia, “Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan,” uses his Heaven-bestowed destiny as the Son of Heaven and his undying body to break through every barrier and lay the foundations for millennia of glory in China.
And so begins the unusual legend I have to tell...
The first time I read Xuanyuan Jue was the paper version, and then I reread it. This is the third time I've read it. It's a very worthwhile book to read. The story concept and character development are impeccable!
I initially read the physical book, but some chapters were missing, so I came here to finish them. The book draws heavily on elements from the Classic of Mountains and Seas and other mythological stories, showing the author's extensive research. The supporting characters are well-developed, and the writing is quite good. It's an excellent book. Highly recommended!
I read the physical book a long time ago, and this is a reread version. It seems like it was abridged compared to the physical book, but it's been so long I can't remember exactly. However, I still remember that the physical book not only featured the Ten Divine Weapons but also the Ten Beauties, and it seems like most of them were Xuanyuan's wives 😏
It's good. I watched it a long time ago, and I'm rewatching it.
I'm rewatching it; I've seen it before.
It can't be explained in a few words
A very good novel
I read this book many years ago, and then reread it on this app. The content is wonderful.
