    New Book Preview | *Immortal's Bound Ridge*: When the last talisman burns out, the true "human path" has just begun. If you're expecting another "mortal's cultivation journey" story—please stop here. But if you want to know how a group of ordinary people, deeply believing in "divine protection," will rebuild their own backbone when they witness the collapse of their altar in a chaotic world—then this work may be the key you've been searching for. This is not a cultivation novel. This is a book that "breaks the immortal barrier." *Immortal's Bound Ridge* will take you back to a forgotten corner of time: a village in Northeast China during the 1930s and 40s. Here, incense smoke curls, and believers kneel before the Five Immortals Hall. The copper bell of "spirit medium" Lin Qiuyue seems to determine good and bad fortune. Until the gunfire shatters all the illusory peace. When the invaders' iron hooves crushed the fortune-telling stalls, when the centuries-old "spirits" fell silent, the villagers who had kowtowed for half their lives finally saw a truth amidst blood and fire: what saves lives is never talismans, but fists; what protects their homes is never the spirits of immortals, but the human heart. We will witness: • A rebirth of faith: from devout worship to personally sinking the "spirit contract" into the ancient well. • An epic of a group of ordinary people: how shamanic disciples, down-on-their-luck scholars, fortune tellers... Complete their spiritual rite of passage from "seeking divine intervention" to "being human" in dire straits. • A shocking disenchantment: when the apricot-yellow banners of the Five Immortals Hall are taken down, the sound of reading rises again in the school—the most basic cell of a nation completes its modern awakening. The author, with anthropological delicacy, recreates the texture of "shamanic" culture, yet with surgical calmness, dissects its spiritual core. Here you'll find the breath of the black soil, the warmth of folk beliefs, and a historical question that transcends individual fate: When we no longer look up at the void, can the earth beneath our feet support us toward true light? *Xianfu Ridge* is a novel with roots. Its roots are deeply embedded in the most authentic soil of Chinese folklore; its questions point to a proposition that every era must confront: Where does human dignity truly come from? Stay tuned. A story about how we become "us" is about to begin.
