Summary

The story is set in Taohua Valley Village, nestled beside the Dayi Mountains on the Lingkun Continent. Sun Muyang, an ordinary boy from a family of hunters, joins the Yunwu Sect—the largest cultivation sect in the Danxing Empire—after his village is massacred by the Qingmian Clan and his family is killed. There he trains diligently in ancient martial arts, determined to avenge the Qingmian Clan. One day, drunk, his soul leaves his body, and he discovers it can enter the Xumituo incense beads left to him by his mother. This opens the path of soul cultivation. He later survives a tribulation lightning and returns to the Lingkun Continent, where he becomes embroiled in conflicts in the Danhuang City and the treasure hunt on the Shuiyan Immortal Island, moving across multiple realms including the Lingkun Continent and the Demon Immortal Realm. Through revenge and eventual reconciliation, he gradually transforms from a vengeful youth into a true cultivator.

Editor's review

A typical otherworld cultivation revenge story. It opens with a village massacre, a potential test result of zero, and a miraculous spirit bead, advancing layer by layer with a direct, satisfying pace. Suitable for readers who enjoy traditional leveling-and-fighting, sect cultivation, and multi-realm adventure. The soul cultivation and Xumituo Fragrant Bead setup has some originality. Weaknesses: the style leans toward early web fiction, some plot points are crude and blunt, and characterization and romance are somewhat thin.

About the author

Ping Diyishenglei Author

Ping Diyishenglei is an author in the field of online literature who writes in the Eastern fantasy genre; beyond this pen name, the English byline Ping Diyishenglei is also used. Public information about their nationality, dates of birth and death, and personal history is limited and difficult to verify, so no inferences are made in this entry. As for the library's holdings, the author currently has one work, Xiantu Juechen (roughly, "The Dustless Immortal Path"), catalogued under male-oriented fiction and Eastern fantasy. Judging by its subject matter, the work draws on the framework of a xianxia world of cultivation and follows the protagonist's growth and choices on the path of seeking the Way, a typical narrative route in male-oriented fantasy. Because public information about the author is scarce, outside understanding of their style still rests mainly on this single work, and their future direction and thematic range await further material.
