Summary

The mountain spirit of Kunlun, trapped immobile by the earth, detaches its consciousness from its true body and, using heavenly thunder, fashions a tiny external incarnation. Cultivating in the mountain forests, it picks up first a stranded nine-tailed fox, then a dying divine phoenix—learning to raise these two ancient gods while striving to advance its own cultivation. Yet this draws it into the war between the ancient gods and the heavenly realm; its true body, Mount Kunlun, shatters, and it survives a heavenly tribulation to forge a second true form. When it returns, the divine phoenix has perished in battle against the heavens, and the nine-tailed fox has exhausted its lifespan. The mountain spirit retrieves its hidden Kunlun Cauldron, sets up an altar to summon the souls of its friends, and resumes the endeavor of raising ancient gods. Spanning from the dawn of creation to the modern era and the future, the story weaves together humor and sorrow.

Editor's review

This one suits readers who like lighthearted comedy with an old-school xianxia feel. The draw is its wildly imaginative ancient-mythology premise: a mountain that becomes a spirit, the daily domestication of a divine phoenix and a nine-tailed fox, and the author's blend of goofy and melancholy tones, which makes for both laughs and sighs. The weak spots are the slow early cultivation and worldbuilding, and the jarring pace and thin emotional line once the scope widens to a huge timespan in the later sections.

Reading tips

  1. The first two chapters are slow cultivation setup; try the plot after the protagonist takes form, then go back for the lore.
  2. Watch for supporting characters like the Kunlun Patriarch and the nine-tailed fox and their links to the past-life backstory of the later book Liaoxian.
  3. The ending spans a huge amount of time; read it straight through, including the extras, before judging the overall emotional arc.
