Sword Condensation in the Void

This book is a xianxia cultivation novel by the web author Shuipingmian. The protagonist is a modern man named Yang Yifeng. At the opening of the story, he is transported by an accident to an unfamiliar cultivation world, where he encounters the sect master of the Demon Sect and joins it. Yang Yifeng refuses to be bound by the existing realm systems of the cultivation world and the Demon Sect; he believes that so long as his power is great enough, his realm will naturally rise, and so he creates his own Sword Condensation in the Void Art, condensing sword intent and power from the void. The book takes "proving the Dao through force" as its core proposition, telling how, by means of this self-created sword art, he repeatedly challenges opponents above his level, treating the "heavenly laws" that once suppressed all beings as the very thing to be broken. As his experiences unfold, the story expands from the mundane world to the cultivation world, the great primordial world, and ever larger stages, ultimately reaching the ascension to the immortal realm and the transcendence of his own limits. The book runs to more than 2.8 million characters in over 800 chapters, divided into parts including "Origin," "Edge," "Free in the World," "Storms of the Cultivation World," "Free Across All Realms," and "The Nine Provinces Barrier." Its overall style is a typical male-oriented sword-cultivator power fantasy, fast-paced and emphasizing clashes of power and the thrill of triumph over adversity.
