Heaven-Reaching Martial God

Heaven-Reaching Martial God is an Eastern fantasy novel by the web novelist Sansu Qingnian, totaling about 580 chapters and roughly 1.8 million Chinese characters, and is complete on web platforms. The story takes place in a world where "martial grade" measures talent and achievement: a first-grade martial grade is considered inferior and mediocre, while a seventh-grade martial grade is unprecedented and regarded as a peerless genius; martial grade almost determines a person's status and prospects for life. The protagonist, Qin Yi, was originally a Daoist master who cultivated for years at Dragon Tiger Mountain and possessed profound Daoist arts, but failed at the final moment of a tribulation and could not withstand the heavenly thunder. He expected his soul to be annihilated, but instead his spirit crossed through time and space into a martial arts world, possessing the body of a lowly servant boy. The gap between a revered cultivator and a lowly servant at everyone's beck and call is hard for Qin Yi to bear, and he happens to have only a first-grade martial grade, regarded by those around him as worthless. Unwilling to accept his fate, Qin Yi draws on the Daoist techniques and knowledge accumulated in his previous life to find a way to raise his martial grade, transforming from a humble servant into a peerless genius who draws everyone's attention. He rises through family competitions, sect conflicts, and the larger landscape of the world, integrating Daoist powers with martial cultivation, gradually reaching the pinnacle of martial arts and making a renowned name for himself.
