In the tranquil village of Qingling, Li Wei, a humble herbalist's son, discovers an ancient scroll that unveils the secrets of cultivating one's inner energy, or "qi." With a heart aflame with determination, Li Wei embarks on a journey that will lead him from the picturesque landscapes of his homeland to the heart of the mystical mountains.... more>>

Guided by the teachings of the scroll and fueled by his unyielding spirit, Li Wei begins to harness his qi, channeling it into his very being. His journey is one of arduous trials and fortuitous encounters, as he navigates the treacherous world of martial arts clans, formidable beasts, and ethereal realms.

As his power grows, so too does his understanding of the delicate balance between creation and chaos, Yin and Yang. Amidst battles that shake the heavens and bonds that transcend lifetimes, Li Wei grapples with his destiny: to restore harmony to a world on the brink of upheaval, and to ascend the celestial path as a true cultivator.

"Jade Chronicles: Ascension of the Celestial Path" follows Li Wei's evolution from a village boy to a martial legend, as he learns that true strength is born not just from the might of one's fists, but from the wisdom of the heart and the unity of the universe. <<less

The boundless universe was filled with all sorts of wonders.... more>>

I, Chen *Ping'an, only have one sword, to move mountains, turn the seas upside down, suppress demons, deal with gods, pluck stars, break rivers, destroy cities, and open the heavenly abode!

My name is Chen Ping'an, Ping'an* of Peace, and I am a swordsman.

The Midland world was full of wonders.

In the center of the world, there was a scholar who had once used a sword to slash out a waterfall of the Milky Way. This was the person he was the most proud of.

At the edge of the East Sea’s cliffs, there was a nameless Daoist who was unwilling to ascend to the peak of a mountain. He only wished for a cool breeze to brush against his face.

In the Western Pure Land, there was an old monk who liked to treat people to chicken soup and tell stories.

In the southern border of the Wilderness, there was a blind painter who controlled golden-armored puppets that were as tall as mountains to move the hundred thousand mountains, creating an embroidered picture.

An impoverished youth who grew up in the north. One day, he saw tens of thousands of Sword Kinesis Immortals above him, like a swarm of locusts crossing the border.

He wanted to see for himself the scholar that the storyteller had mentioned, the surging tides of the East Sea, the vast swamps of sand in the west, and the majestic mountains of the Southern Wasteland.

Thus, one day, the youth picked up the wooden sword and began to descend south.

Yu Zhengdu: “……??”

Shang Que, the beautiful little boss, said, “New employee, welcome to the Hell organisation in the human world. A thousand years ago, I was known to the human world as the Ghost King of Luofeng Mountain.”

Immortal arts, magic weapons, magical powers, and the boundless spiritual qi between heaven and earth vanished into obscurity overnight, and all exorcists turned to mere mortals.... more>>

Three hundred years later, the Five Hus traversed the pass, it was a prelude to an era of great turmoil in China. They heralded the end of the world, where thousands of drought fiends stalked the night —— the collapse of the Divine Land is imminent.

Fortunately, within this long, dark night where silence had fallen on all magic, a lone star still glistened brightly on the horizon.

The Heart Lamp appeared, illuminating the vast expanse around it. A sixteen-year-old young man, who will end his life on his twentieth birthday, embarked on a journey to reclaim the spiritual qi of heaven and earth that had been sealed away —— only four years remain.

The road ahead was filled with countless thistles and thorns, and it seemed improbable for him to succeed.

Chen Xing: "The important thing is that I’m the last exorcist in this world, yet the only magic I am capable of is emitting light. What can I do?”

Wait patiently then. When the Dinghai Pearl reappears on earth, the uncertain trajectory of everyone’s fates will be completely disrupted before converging once more.

Chen Xing: “Could I be partnered with a more normal Protector Martial God?”

Isn’t your Protector really skilled in fighting?

Chen Xing: “He is good at fighting, but when he loses it he’ll hit even me……”

There’s nothing that can be done about that, you can only blame yourself for losing yourself to lust. <<less

Having transmigrated from being a twenty-eight years old female forensic doctor, into a Hua Mulan that had taken off her armor and now returned home, He Mulan expressed there was quite a lot of pressure.... more>>

And completely unlike the ending of the story, there weren’t any fresh flowers and there weren’t any applause. The already thirty years old Hua Mulan, who returned home after removing her armor, was already a monster in the rumors around the countryside.

She was a mix of Xianbei and Han Chinese, her height was tall, her appearance not at all beautiful, her temperament was cold, her strength without a comparison. She had even killed before, wielded a saber before, and had the reputation of eating at the same table, living under the same roof as men for twelve years. She had long been prepared for a lifetime of loneliness.

The line she used to refuse the emissary from Rouran, as well as the requests of her relatives: “My menses never came before”, had further become the original sin of her failure at being a woman.

The He Mulan who’d been defrauded by the villagers until she wanted to vomit blood, resolutely stated:

If she could do it again, she’d definitely conceal her identity, accept the position in the bureaucracy, get a promotion, raise her salary and reach the pinnacle of her life.

In any case, she wouldn’t stand for this extreme suffering! <<less

Yu Zhen played on his mobile and nodded. He replied, “Uh-huh” but in his heart he laughed, “hahaha”. Keeping his grandfather in the dark was amusing so the lie was repeated for over ten years without Yu Zhen getting tired of it.

As the youngest Grand Astrologer of the Great Jing Dynasty, Xie Qingfeng, known for his ethereal grace and unparalleled beauty, could predict the fate of all but his own. ... more>>

During a military expedition led by the young Emperor, a regent’s rebellion struck. In his sacrificial loyalty to the country, Xie Qingfeng found himself transported a thousand years into the future, inhabiting the body of a disowned scion of a wealthy family.

This true heir, replaced at birth and only reclaimed after eighteen years, was envied, framed by the impostor, and eventually ostracized and impoverished to a tragic demise.

Arriving in this new era penniless and without any practical skills, Xie Qingfeng’s stroke of fortune was inheriting the Emperor’s private treasury. Surveying the treasury filled with antiques, calligraphy from famous artists, and treasures of gold and jewels, Xie Qingfeng fell into a contemplative silence.

Eventually, the head of the Xie family recalled their disowned true heir: Had he repented? Was he ready to return and apologize?

The butler, reading a recent message, took a moment to regain his composure: “The young master has become the new wealthiest man.”

The Xie family: ??

Butler: “He’s also become a master of metaphysics, a sought-after guest among industry magnates.”

Everyone: ???

"In this world where war erupts throughout, jianghu is a cycle of vengeance and retribution. You either persist, or you perish."

Many years ago, a young Chu Xiwei who recently joined the sect was chilled to the bone by those words he happened to have heard.

Seeing that his young disciple was scared quite enough, Ye Fusheng leisurely sipped his tea, "What I just said is pure nonsense."

Every young chivalrous individuals joining jianghu would happen upon one martial art scroll or another. Ye Fusheng was so often tricked by this preconception in his younger years that when he got older, he decided to hoard other people's scrolls.

But jianghu didn't work as simply as that.

It was a society of using one's might to carve one's path, of competing for artifacts and debating one's skills.

Legends would never fade with the withering time, just as hatred would not disappear in a peaceful age.

As the golden time passed, all splendor would be reduced to dust. With it, Glimpse of Grace** was sealed away from the world.
