Supreme Through All Ages is an Eastern fantasy novel by Xiaoxiao Liang Gongzi serialized on Zongheng Chinese, completed on June 30, 2016, with about 536 chapters and over 1.75 million characters. The book's core setting is "divine patterns plus dual cultivation of martial arts": the protagonist, Shen Li, is a member of the Shen family in Wushan City, born with a dantian blocked like iron, unable to open his qi sea or cultivate, and he endures in silence for seven years; his father, Shen Lie, ventures deep into Wuyun Mountain for seven years without returning in search of a heavenly treasure to open his son's dantian. At the start, during his coming-of-age assessment, Shen Li breaks into Blood Fiend Valley, home to fierce beasts, encounters a lightning storm, and on the brink of death receives the mysterious "Shattered Star" into his body, thereby opening his acupoints, awakening the talent to inscribe divine patterns, and achieving a divine-demon overlord body. Thereafter he uses divine patterns to defeat stronger opponents in the selection tournament, making a name for himself in one battle; he enters the Xingyun Sect, becomes famous in the sect challenge tournament by fighting many alone, and undergoes trials including the White Bone Secret Tower inheritance, dangers of the underground world, and the calamity of the Wind Demon Ancestor, time and again turning the tables on powerful enemies as a "trash" cultivator. The book follows the classic route of the loser's comeback, fighting above one's level, and playing the fool while hiding strength, with brisk pacing and dense combat; the protagonist's entanglements with Xie Xiaowan, Jiang Zhirou, and others, along with the grudges between the Shen family and hidden forces, unfold as his realm rises, finally concluding with the ending "Great Harmony Under Heaven."
