The War of the Seven Continents

A classic xianxia novel.

There is no transmigration or rebirth, and no interface or golden finger. Everyone’s cultivation comes from years of painstaking effort and practice.

Mysteries, battles of wits, wars, and trade routes shape the young hero’s journey to adulthood.

There are no masters who pass on their power with a single touch, nor miraculous pills that grant decades of cultivation in one gulp. The road of cultivation is arduous but full of wonders; the quest for the Way is fraught with hardship, yet magnificent.

On a journey of wise investigations, deception and intrigue, clashing armies, and gathering the wealth of the world, there are true friends and beloved women, powerful foes and genuine affection, betrayal and righteousness, love and hate, decisive bloodshed and convictions held close to the heart.

Jin Wu: “I’m not saying wealth and glory are bad, but they aren’t what I want. I must go to Central Province. The great seafaring ships that cross the ocean are in Four Seas City. I want to seek immortality and the Way, and see the world from a broader vantage point atop the mountain…”
