The latest work from a master of fictional history, winner of the Best Worldbuilding Fiction Award
As spiritual qi revival sweeps the world and monsters run rampant, eighteen-year-old Sun Jing is tested and found to have no spiritual roots at all, a good-for-nothing.
Then one day, he grips an iron staff passed down through his family, and a monkey with a furry face and a thunder-god's mouth begins teaching him immortal arts in his dreams.
When demonic clouds engulf the city, he raises his staff to the sky and roars, “This blow will reduce you to dust!”
