Summary

Proud Heaven's Mandate is a long Eastern fantasy novel by the web author Lingyun Dashao, serialized on Qidian from June 2013. It runs to about eight hundred chapters and 1.45 million characters, with the main text completed at the end of 2014. The story opens with the young Gu Tian: his father Gu Chenkong is gravely wounded, his mother has vanished, and the sudden decline of the family falls entirely on his shoulders. Rather than sink into despair, he resolves to break the bonds of fate and look down upon heaven and earth. In a world of strict sect traditions where humans and demons coexist, Gu Tian trains under Xing Zhu and is taught by Xian Hai, returns to the Gu family in Jianghuai Town to cultivate life force, and grows step by step through martial arts such as Tiger Leaps, Bear Summits and trials at the Wuji Cliff. He contends with the oppression of clan scions, fights for exotic flames, unravels formations and clashes with foes such as Liu Yong and the long-armed ape; along the way he awakens life weapons of unexpected form (a kitchen cleaver, for instance) and keeps breaking through the limits of the cultivation system and his own fate. The later story involves confrontations with imperial artifacts and the struggle for the Nine Nether Spring, and Gu Tian finally transforms from an ordinary youth into a martial powerhouse, the book closing with "Slaying the Taizhang Realm." It follows the classic power-fantasy route of a youth rising from adversity and proving his way through battle: brisk pacing, dense fights and level-ups, suited to readers who love the hot-blooded growth strain of Eastern fantasy.

Editor's review

这是一部典型的早期起点东方玄幻：少年家门生变、亲人离散，孤身扛起一切，从被人轻视到一路打上去。作者凌云大少的写法直来直去，开篇第一章写“古天”，紧接着便是“趁火打劫”“古家”，迅速交代危机与背景；第五章“命器是菜刀”一出手就抛出一个反套路的设定点，把主角的“土味”与后来的强横形成对照，这种先抑后扬的处理很讨喜。修炼体系上，本书以“命力”为核心，配合命器、命格等概念，让升级线有自己的名词与逻辑，不至于沦为纯粹的数值堆叠。全书约一百四十五万字、八百章，篇幅不算臃肿，战斗场面密集，读起来更像是按“打脸—突破—换地图”的节奏推进，适合想找一本不太需要门槛的热血爽文时翻开。需要提醒的是，本书未正式出版纸质版，网上版本字数与章节统计略有出入，阅读时以正版平台为准。

About the author

Lingyun Dashao Author

Publicly available information about Lingyun Dashao is limited: his nationality, dates of birth and death, and personal background are not clearly documented. The library currently holds one work by this author, the representative novel Aotian Shenming (roughly, "Defying Heaven's Divine Mandate"), commonly classified under male-oriented fiction and Eastern fantasy. Judging from this work and its categories, his writing leans toward Eastern fantasy aimed at a male readership, with stories set in imagined worlds. Because only one work is attributed to him and no existing profile is available for reference, his overall style, range of subjects, and stages of writing are difficult to summarize fully. For now, readers seeking to learn about this author can rely mainly on Aotian Shenming and its classification as male-oriented fiction and Eastern fantasy.
