In a Strange World, I Become a Sage with a Tattered Book

(Cosmic horror cultivation + scheming protagonist + golden finger + eerie cultivation world)

In the final years of the Celestial Empire, the nation is weak. Foreign barbarians bring their foreign faith into the heartland, warlords rise everywhere, and the people are plunged into misery. Demons and monsters appear in droves, immortals are strange and uncanny, and the world is filled with bizarre sights. Humans live alongside demons, ghosts, and monsters. Princes behind the various dynasties vie for power, while the world itself is tainted by eerie corruption and overrun with supernatural creatures.

A soul from another world arrives in this terrifying, uncanny cultivation world, bringing along a battered little book.

In this world, practicing cultivation techniques always comes at a price.

This eerie little book can reveal information and waive the price of cultivation techniques, as long as you offer up your life.

All you demons, ghosts, monsters, and immortals, before you kill me, could you let me finish writing down all your names? I have a bad memory and can't remember them.

Many tales of the strange creatures from the Classic of Mountains and Seas will also appear in this novel. Want to read a different kind of eerie cultivation story?

Want to see Bing Yi and the Japanese sorcerer Kappa fight over Zheng? Want to read stories about lake monsters, Yingyu, leech spirits, and the Seven Maidens of the Carp Kingdom? Want to see the true faces of the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas? Want to read stories about all kinds of strange demons and monsters and their dealings with humans?

The first arc will mostly feature aquatic demons and ghosts. Later, Wuzhiqi, Bing Yi, Kappa, and others will appear.

Please look forward to it...
