    The world-building is incredibly vast, starting with the encounter between a rustic villager and the Demon Emperor, and the Pope and his disciple. From this point on, a massive world-building begins to take shape. The foreshadowing and plot are numerous yet not chaotic. On the contrary, it is clear and well-organized, a feat that most authors cannot achieve when writing simple plots. There are also very realistic and satirical storylines that are captivating. In short, it is very impressive. The character portrayals are indeed vivid and detailed, and their personalities are very distinct. The language is humorous and witty, and the writing is exquisite!

    --- **Cultivation Novels: Reflecting the Human Heart in a World of Immortals and Demons** As a highly vibrant genre in Chinese online literature, cultivation novels have continuously broken through traditional narrative frameworks in recent years, exploring profound themes of humanity, morality, and civilization through the interweaving of fantasy and reality. From the foundational "mortal flow" of *A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality*, to the metaphysical battles of wits in *The Legend of the Chess Master*, and the unconventional perspective of *The New Legend of the White Snake*, cultivation novels, with their diverse creative paths, have constructed magnificent and realistically metaphorical universes of immortals and heroes. This article will analyze the unique charm and intellectual depth of cultivation novels from three dimensions: genre evolution, core themes, and cultural expression. --- ### **I. Genre Innovation: From "Barbaric Myths" to "Mortals' Counterattack"** Early cultivation novels were largely influenced by *Investiture of the Gods* and *The Legend of the Swordsmen of Shushan*, primarily featuring the "barbaric flow," where the protagonist was often a chosen one burdened with the grand mission of saving the world. The emergence of *A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality* completely overturned this paradigm. The protagonist, Han Li, is of mediocre talent and humble origins, struggling to survive in the dog-eat-dog world of cultivation through his cautious nature and calculated opportunities. This "mortal protagonist" setting shifted readers' focus from hero worship to empathy for the fate of ordinary people, reflecting the anxiety and resilience of individuals struggling against the involution of modern society. Subsequently, cultivation novels spawned many more branches: for example, *The Strongest Abandoned Son*'s "urban cultivation" blends modern technology and metaphysics, showcasing the spectacle of civilizational clashes; *The Chess Game* uses the chessboard as a metaphor for the Dao, integrating strategy and causality into the cultivation system, pioneering the "intellectual combat" genre; and *The New White Snake Asks the Immortal* deconstructs traditional cultivation ethics from an alien perspective (a female snake transforming into a dragon), exploring the survival dilemmas of those with "non-human" identities. These innovations liberated cultivation novels from the singular formula of leveling up and defeating monsters, transforming them into cultural containers that can carry diverse narratives. --- ### **II. Core Theme: Cultivating Immortality is Cultivating the Mind** While seemingly depicting a fantastical world of flying and escaping, cultivation novels often subtly contain philosophical reflections on real life. 1. **The Philosophy of Survival: "Living Towards Death"** For example, in *A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality*, Han Li, facing resource competition and sectarian infighting, always prioritizes "survival." This "survivalist" approach is not cowardice, but a clear understanding of the law of the jungle, coinciding with Camus's existentialism of "facing absurdity." Another example is *There's a God in a Broken Temple*, where the protagonist upholds his Dao heart in the Dharma-ending Age, using his mortal body to fight against the collapse of the Heavenly Dao, echoing modern reflections on the lack of faith. 2. **The Mirror of Power and Desire** The hierarchical system of the cultivation world (Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Nascent Soul, etc.) Is essentially a metaphor for power structures. In *The Supreme Immortal Dynasty*, Lin Wei's ambition to rebuild the Immortal Dynasty reveals the cruel truth that "cultivating immortality is cultivating power." *The Way of the Bandits*, with its setting of entering the Dao through martial arts, implicitly questions the legitimacy of violence—when power becomes the sole law, is morality merely a fig leaf for the strong? 3. **The Struggle Between Emotion and the Heavenly Dao** Traditional cultivation novels often use "severing emotions and desires" as a prerequisite for ascension, while recent works such as *The Legend of Xu Xian* and *A Tree on the Sendai* boldly reconstruct emotional narratives. The former rewrites the legend of the White Snake into a Xianxia harem novel, using emotional tribulations to question the ruthlessness of the Heavenly Dao; the latter explores whether "love can transcend reincarnation and destiny" through a tragic love story where master and disciple identities are reversed. These attempts break down the emotional taboos of cultivation novels, endowing them with richer human warmth. --- ### **III. Cultural Expression: Modern Translation of Traditional Elements** Another charm of cultivation novels lies in their creative transformation of traditional Chinese culture: 1. **Five Elements and Eight Trigrams with Alchemy and Medicine** *The Chess Game of Rotten Chess* transforms the chessboard into a tool for deducing the Dao, with the protagonist Ji Yuan intervening in others' fates by "determining cause and effect with each move," subtly echoing the philosophy of change in the *I Ching*. The meticulous details of alchemy and talisman-making in *A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality* recreate the magical systems found in classics like *Baopuzi*, giving the fictional world a more realistic feel. 2. **Juxtaposition of the Martial World and the Imperial Court** For example, *The Heavenly Decree of Punishment* uses detective investigations as its main thread, introducing cultivation power into the ancient judicial system, alluding to the boundary between the rule of law and vigilante justice. *The Sword Immortal of Liaozhai* grafts together *Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio* and court intrigue, using demons to symbolize official corruption, completing a contemporary deconstruction of classical texts. 3. **The Absurdity and Revelation of "Modernized Cultivation"** *Who Isn't a Cultivator?* Constructs a modern society where cultivation is widespread, with students required to take a "spiritual power college entrance exam" and companies requiring "Foundation Establishment stage or above" for recruitment. This satirical setting both dispels the mystique of cultivation and satirizes the utilitarian alienation of contemporary society. --- ### **IV. Controversy and Reflection: The Unfinished Path of Cultivation Novels** Although cultivation novels have achieved significant success, their...
