God Soaring the Nine Heavens

God Soaring the Nine Heavens is a long classical xianxia novel serialized on Zongheng Chinese from 2012 and completed in October 2016 by the web novelist Lunhui Duan. Set in a "Divine Land" where cultivators coexist, it follows the orphan Ye Qianqiu: ostracized and cast into the Ten Thousand Mountains, he encounters the mysterious powerhouse Zhan Tiandi and receives his legacy, beginning a path of dual martial and Dao cultivation. Through events including the turmoil at Taiqing Sect, the battle on a snowy night in Chang'an, the opening of the Holy Hall, the descent of a hundred sages, the emergence of the demon race, and the war of ten thousand realms, Ye Qianqiu hones his cultivation, makes allies, and is gradually drawn into a vast chess game spanning the entire Divine Land. The book is divided into four volumes—"Clouds of Chaos," "Dark Turmoil," "War of Ten Thousand Realms," and "God Soaring the Nine Heavens"—escalating from worldly strife to a final showdown with the master of reincarnation, ending with "Breaking Reincarnation." The work builds its world through poetic epigraphs and chapter titles, repeatedly echoing the core image "Heroes are silent, the sword of sin punishes immortals; to guard the living, the god soars the nine heavens," and focuses on the cultivator's choice between the shackles of fate and the survival of the living. At about 1.15 million characters, it is a completed long web novel suited to readers accustomed to grand xianxia narratives who prefer ensemble casts and fatalistic themes.
