When Gu Yusheng, a young man from the modern world, transmigrates to a fantasy realm called the Great Wilderness, he discovers that he has awakened an unprecedented golden finger: the Classic of Mountains and Seas Compendium System. This world is modeled on the geography and mythical beasts of the Classic of Mountains and Seas. Every perilous land is home to legendary ferocious or auspicious beasts, and cultivators no longer rely solely on absorbing spiritual energy. Instead, they gain power by registering, forming contracts with, and merging with mythical beasts.
Gu Yusheng must travel across this dangerous wilderness, evading the forces that covet his System while registering mythical beasts, befriending heroes, and building a faction of his own. Every mountain, every river, and even every mythical beast in this land is guarded by one or more martial arts experts. Some are cultivators who tame beasts in their quest to break through, others belong to families that have guarded sacred sites for generations, and still others are “Beast Lords” chosen by mythical beasts.
He will face the greedy Taotie, the wise Baize, and the savage Qiongqi, while meeting a host of distinctive beast guardians and embarking on an epic contest for supremacy among mythical beasts.
The Illustrated Guide to Mountains and Seas: Master of Mythical Beasts is a new fantasy novel that blends classical mythology, modern system fiction, and an ensemble cast of martial heroes. It not only builds a vast world based on the Classic of Mountains and Seas, but also follows Gu Yusheng's growth and adventures in an epic tale of humans and mythical beasts living together, vying with one another, and sharing the same world. Every chapter takes readers into the martial world behind a mountain, a river, or a mythical beast, delivering an unparalleled fantasy feast.
