Chronicle of the Martial Immortal

Chronicle of the Martial Immortal is a xianxia novel by the web author Long Fei, serialized on Feikan Shijie and Tianxia Shumeng, about 1.37 million characters and 285 chapters long, completed in October 2017. Set in a fictional fantasy world, the story follows a protagonist who begins as an obscure young slave, alone and helpless in a time of chaos, until a chance encounter sets him on the path of cultivation. Taking martial arts as his foundation, he seeks the immortal way, rising step by step from a lowly station to roam freely across heaven and earth. The work is framed by a timeline: "At ten, he was alone and helpless, a slave; at twenty, he heard the immortal way at dawn and walked by moonlight at night; at forty, he achieved minor mastery in martial arts and forged the first treasure of his life; a century later, he roamed heaven and earth, draped in the morning sun and riding a dragon across the star fields." Across this span, the novel traces the protagonist's long road of growth and enlightenment, interwoven with a thousand years of love and hate and the shifts of the world. Beyond the usual fortuitous encounters, reversals, and duels, the book incorporates many suspense threads; Long Fei began as a writer of suspense and adventure fiction and excels at building mystery, so both the author and the serialization platforms regard this work as a representative of the "suspense xianxia" concept. The world is also built on Daoist ideas, the prose is accessible, and the main plot is passionate and upward—suited to readers who prefer traditional xianxia with suspense-driven momentum.
