Looking for Martial Heroes in the Jianghu, With an Invincible Protagonist from the Start

Looking for books like Fantasy: I Became Blind and Traveled the Martial World.

Looking for Stories with a Nine-Rank System, Grandmasters, Great Grandmasters, Ten Thousand Dynasties, Ten Thousand Clans, and Low-Martial-Arts Settings

The protagonist is extremely powerful and focuses on developing his own little patch of land. All races can enter, but he firmly suppresses anyone who causes trouble. The land forbids martial arts and is a place where all races can live together in peace. They look to it in their pursuit of the Great Dao.

Any Pure Wuxia Novels?

Any good martial arts stories? People hardly write wuxia these days. I miss it. Nowadays, everyone gets a System and cheats their way to immortality and godhood, with divine physiques and all that. I'm sick of it. It's so boring. I want to feel the thrill of roaming the world with a sword and settling scores with a sense of justice.

Are There No Traditional Eastern Cultivation Fantasy Stories Like This?

I'm looking for books like "The Record of Heavenly Treasures and Mystic Powers". I can't find any good traditional Eastern fantasy or xianxia novels lately. I don't like Systems, transmigration, or romance. I want to follow the protagonist as they grow, overcome hardships, and gradually become stronger. I've only found one decent one recently.

Well-Written Wuxia Novels

Something similar to Sword Snow Stride, Sword Comes, and The Cicada.
