    A bookworm for twenty years, especially fond of mortal cultivation novels, among which "A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality," "Against the Gods," "The Path of the Cultivation Sect Leader," "The Path of Xuan Chen," "Nine Transformations of the True Spirit," and "The Peak of the Azure Lotus" are my favorites. Suddenly, I had the idea to write my own version of the Xianxia genre, without overpowered characters or powerful backers, striving to present a realistic world of cultivation as I envision it.

Wang Xuanyi turned back, taking one last, poignant look at the place where he had grown up, before leading his children and flying away into the distance without looking back… This book tells the story of a small Foundation Establishment clan that, through generations of effort, grows into an immortal clan… Completed at 2.6 Million words, welcome to read!
