There was someone inside Zhaoyuan's mind.
[The male lead's role is downplayed; romance included, so stay away if that's not your thing]
[Hidden plotline: rebirth. It won't be apparent early on, but will gradually unfold as a major storyline]
[Hidden plotline: clones. Hard to discern early on; the clone storyline will gradually develop after the male lead regains his human form]
When seven-year-old Zhaoyuan touched the Lingyu Sword, a lazy voice appeared in his head: “What a weak body.”
That voice fell silent for two years, until, on the eve of Zhaoyuan's aptitude test at age nine, it drawled, “Choose body training tomorrow.”
Seven years later, Zhenghua Mountain opened its doors to recruit disciples, and a group of promising youths gradually took the stage.
The Nether River Realm followed close behind.
But no one could have imagined that the conflict between Zhenghua and the Nether River would reveal a grand conspiracy in the Upper Realm, with another world beyond even that.
On the chessboard, the Emperor Gods moved the pieces.
Zhaoyuan fixed his gaze on the heavens, determined to overturn the fate of the pieces. Anyone who toys with the lives of the lower realms will be slain!
“Among the countless paths to becoming an Emperor God, none are mine.”
“I will not follow in the footsteps of those before me. I have my own heavenly way.”
Starting point: Cangyan Continent, the Lower Realm
Human cultivators: sword cultivators, body refiners, alchemists, talisman masters, artifact cultivators
Demonic cultivators: body refiners, artifact cultivators, ghost tamers, alchemists
For the male lead, picture little Ling He
When writing "The Legend of the Empress", I kept asking myself a question When I started writing "The Legend of the Empress: Unrivaled in the Way of All Living Beings," I always had one thought in my mind: Can women on the road to growth be more than just "ruthless" and "tolerant"? I wanted to write about a superior person who would worry about all sentient beings late at night, an idealist who still clings to his original intention in the whirlpool of conspiracies. Every step of the heroine's growth hides my understanding of "power" - not throwing away the warmth, but carrying the warmth through the thorns. The interconnectedness of the rivers and lakes is the "chess game" that I have repeatedly polished; the character's weakness and perseverance are the "flesh and blood" that I most want to show to readers. Maybe it's not perfect, and some branches are still rough and rough, but this is the Qingyun Road that I have paved with pen and ink, and it is the answer to every soul that refuses to bow its head in the face of adversity.
Although the world view has not been fully established, the trial land has been completed on a large scale, and the characters in the protagonist group have emerged one after another, each with their own characteristics. Zhaoyuan's calmness, Xinniao's calmness, Zheng Cunqing's cautiousness, Hanzang's sharpness, Wanqi Yilu's pampering... I hope they can enter Zhenghua Mountain as soon as possible and start their real journey
