Summary

Modern man Chu Tianshu gets drunk and transmigrates, becoming a child in Shanhai Village in Kuaiji Commandery during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Western Han, living with his pregnant mother. Everyone in the village practices the basic Qi-Nourishing Art, and from the age of five he trains under Heitu. Soon he is chosen by the Mohist legacy and becomes the contemporary Juzi of the Mohists. Each of the Hundred Schools focuses on different methods of cultivation, all aimed at strengthening oneself and shattering the void. Only when his power reaches the point of shattering the void does he realize that everything is just the beginning; what awaits him is a reincarnation spanning multiple worlds, and the mysteries and entanglements of the Hundred Schools unfold from there. On the surface this is a historical novel, but in fact it takes the Hundred Schools of Emperor Wu's era as its root and builds an infinite-flow story of multiple worlds.

Editor's review

Drawing on the early years of Emperor Wu of Han and centered on the Mohist Juzi, this book builds a framework of transmigration plus infinite flow, with some ingenuity in its historical details and Hundred Schools cultivation setup. Its appeal lies in the worldbuilding that blends history and fantasy and in the later shift into multi-plane reincarnation. The weaknesses are obvious: the first volume is heavy on exposition and setting up plot threads, the narrative is flat, the protagonist has little presence, the author was in poor form during serialization, and the writing and pacing are rough.

Reading tips

  1. The first volume is mainly buildup and setup; be patient and judge after the second volume
  2. Distinguish historical setting from fantasy rules; don't hold it to strict historical standards
  3. Pay attention to how each world corresponds to a Hundred Schools legacy; it helps in understanding the book's structure
