Traditional Eastern Xianxia Novels
At least three million words. Ideally, the cultivation levels should be Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Spirit Transformation, Tribulation Transcendence, Great Ascension, and Immortal Ascension, followed by True Immortal and then godhood or something, with room to advance further.

I have been following it since the beginning. "Ascension" has a seemingly clichéd start. The initial motivation of the male protagonist Chen Nan is so simple and heartbreaking - "just want to make money". In this era of Internet literature filled with grand narratives, such a down-to-earth starting point seems refreshing and refined. A bead of unknown origin and an ordinary young man just trying to make a living. When the two meet in a fantasy world, what bursts out is not the passion to "change fate against heaven" in traditional immortality novels, but a more complex picture of the world. He is not a savior chosen by fate, nor an avenger bearing a blood feud, nor a gifted spiritual genius. He is just an ordinary person who is forced by life and wants to improve his situation. This setting eliminates the heroic halo of traditional fantasy novels, but leaves ample room for subsequent growth arcs. When such a little man holds a mysterious bead and is involved in the dispute between the three realms, we should all be able to see our own shadow in him - who has not bowed down for five buckets of rice? Who can guarantee that they will not be shaken in the face of unimaginable temptations? What is particularly rare is that the author has injected a true understanding of Taoist philosophy into the fantasy framework. The transformation process of the male protagonist from "seeking money" to "asking questions" coincides with the Taoist practice path of "from ordinary to holy". Those seemingly bizarre spell duels and secret adventures are actually external manifestations of mind cultivation. When the male protagonist struggles between interests and morality, what we see is not only the growth of a character, but also a vivid interpretation of ancient wisdom in modern narratives. The "quiet and inactive" emphasized by Taoism is in sharp contrast to the chaotic world in which the male protagonist lives. This tension precisely constitutes the ideological depth of the novel. In the creative trend of today's fantasy novels that generally pursue "killing monsters and upgrading", "Aspiration" dares to slow down and allow the protagonist to increase his strength while paying more attention to the improvement of his mood. That mysterious bead may eventually be refined, but the male protagonist's self-understanding and transcendence in the process is the true meaning of "cultivation" that the novel really wants to present. It's in-depth, good luck to the author! ! !
It's really good. It's eye-catching right from the beginning. The author's writing is very good and the storyline is very attractive. It's a good urban cultivation novel. [Like][Like]
