A Wizard's Journey is a long Western fantasy novel by Yi Xing Bai Lu Shang Qing Tian. Serialized on Qidian since August 2014, it runs about 5.7 million Chinese characters and is complete; an audiobook of the same name has also been released. The book's core slogan is "Give me endless knowledge, and I will use myself as the fulcrum to move endless worlds." The story centers on the youth Green. Of low birth, he happens to test as having wizard aptitude and thus enters the wizard world—outwardly mysterious and splendid, inwardly strictly hierarchical. The author deliberately takes a "rationalist" approach: Green does not crush everything with talent as in traditional power-fantasy novels; instead, through observation, reasoning, experimentation, and trade-offs, he accumulates strength amid repeated resource struggles, academy competition, and racial and planar wars, developing a research method with a "pseudo-scientific" flavor and treating witchcraft as a knowledge system that can be dismantled and verified. Behind Green's personal growth lies a grand history of civilization. The wizard world once defeated the sea people and established its rule; afterward, mechanical wizards, dark wizards, and elemental wizards rose and fell in turn. The wizard civilization also fought desperate battles with the alien Nightmare civilization and the Abyssal civilization, was forced to migrate as a whole to an unfamiliar world cluster, later revived its prestige through the Witch-Hunting Expedition, and carried war to countless alien planes. Green rises from a lowly apprentice to a powerful wizard who masters the origins of his own school and takes part in the civilizational war that determines the fate of the wizard world. The book's early pacing is slow and setting-heavy; the middle and later sections, with planar warfare and world-building, improve markedly. It suits readers who prefer vast settings and a rational protagonist.
