What does xianxia mean?
I've read xianxia for a long time, and I've noticed that most stories focus on the immortal side of the genre, with very little emphasis on chivalry. If a story calls itself xianxia, how can it leave out the xia?
Immortals can take many forms: cultivators in the clouds and mountains, gods from the highest heavens, or strange and wondrous beings. There are too many interpretations to settle on one, so there's little point debating it.
But after all these years, people have reached a consensus about xia. As the sages said: A true hero serves the nation and its people.
When immortality and chivalry are joined, which should come first?
I believe immortal grace should be worn on the outside like a robe, while chivalrous virtue should be held within as one's backbone. Only then does a story live up to the spirit of xianxia.
【All the books recommended below are xianxia, mostly new releases, with a special focus on stories of steadfast chivalry.】
【Three things I won't read】
【No wish-fulfillment power trips】
【No formulaic stories】
【No harem stories】

The first is the fruit of wisdom, the second is the fruit of supernatural power, the third is the fruit of merit and deeds, the fourth is the fruit of good virtue, the fifth is the fruit of merit, the sixth is the fruit of merit, and the seventh is the fruit of path!
Please support the new book: The Nine-Pin Immortal Road.
In the strange world of Liaozhai, a swordsman travels thousands of miles with his sword. Don't hate your family, country and the world, just survive and love.
However, the person is not the same person as before, and the ghost is not the same ghost as before... Everything in the world is changing, but the only thing that remains unchanged is the cautious chivalrous heart.
From a judge to a hero, the Liaozhai knight travels!
PS: This book is a traditional fairy tale in the style of martial arts and Liaozhai. It is not a novice novel, but has the weight of a historical novel. With stories and emotions as the main line, it is an emotional story novel similar to the romance of the fairy tale, not a simple cultivation novel. The difference is that the former takes immortal love as the main line, while "From Judge to Hero" takes personal encounters as the main line, of which love is only a part.
