Synopsis

The morning mists of Qingmang Mountain conceal the martial world and the aspirations of two generations. Shi Sheng was a hunter from Xishi Village. After saving a disciple of the Qingxu Sect, he is unexpectedly drawn into the struggle for the Tai Chi Heart Sutra and the bloody conflict stirred up by the Netherworld Cult. Armed with brute strength and an honest heart, he grows from a mountain boy into a wandering hero. But after witnessing slaughter and greed firsthand, he comes to understand that simplicity is happiness. He retreats to the mountains, where he raises an orphan named A He.

A He descends the mountain with the Starfall Jade to seek the truth about his origins. The martial world proves impossible to judge, with right and wrong reversed at every turn. Joining forces with his close friend Li Yan, he puts down a rebellion led by corrupt ministers and brings the martial world under the order of the dynasty, ultimately becoming a “hidden pillar” who protects the homes of countless families.

From a stubborn stone on Qingmang Mountain to a jade that safeguards the nation, two generations hold fast to their ideals in the face of greed, striving to balance the martial world and the imperial court. Behind the clash of blades lie the struggles of human nature; within the whirlpool of power, an innocent heart endures. This is a legend of growth, choices, and protection, and an epic in which chivalry and order coexist across the martial world and the imperial court.

I can find it. I eat poop.

Today's Martial Arts Stories Are All the Same. Any Newer Takes?

The writing and style of nearly every wuxia novel I see nowadays seem to imitate Jin Yong and Gu Long. Are there any with a style of their own?

Wuxia, Power Struggles

Building a faction and setting up rankings are fine too.

Good Wuxia Novels: No Brain-Dead Plots, No Making Characters Stupid, and No Playing the Pig to Eat the Tiger!

No playing the pig to eat the tiger! A System would be great, but no System is fine too. Cultivation novels are okay as well.

Recommend Some Wuxia Novels

Looking for wuxia novels without cultivation ranks. Please recommend some! I really dislike wuxia stories with realms like early, middle, late, perfection, and half-step stages.

Good male-oriented fiction

Wuxia Stories, But No Leveling Up, Robbery, or Treasure-Filled Secret Realms

I’m not really into those stories where the protagonist shows off, wins through face-slapping, and gets some super-rare treasure. No System stories either.

Looking for Highly Rated Wuxia or Comprehensive Martial Arts Fiction, Thanks!

Please recommend something. The protagonist can be on any side, good or evil, and it doesn't matter whether there's a harem or a System. There's just one thing: keep Jin Yong-style wuxia away from me. Don't try to pass off low-tier wuxia as something better, either. Jin Yong fanboys can keep their distance, too. Thanks.
