Sword Xia of the Shu Mountains《蜀山劍俠傳》by Huanzhu Louzhu 還珠樓主 (lit. Master of Returning Pearl Loft) was published between 1932 and 1948 and is one of the most influential wuxia novels of all time. Many of the elements in this novel became standard tropes of the wuxia genre. It is also the forefather of the modern xianxia cultivation novel. Huanzhu’s cultivation system became the standard, fusing the Daoist quest for transcendence with the Buddhist reincarnation cycle and tribulation system, as well as the Confucian virtue of humaneness 仁 and the chivalrous xia 俠 archetype. At over 4.1 million Chinese characters, it is also one of the longest wuxia novels, though it remains unfinished due to the... more>> civil war in China. So the first cultivation novel was also eunuched—rather fitting.

The story follows multiple protagonists as they gradually gather together, fighting heretical sects and spirit elementals on their way to founding the Mount Emei Sect. Most outstanding among these protagonists is Li Yingqiong, who begins the novel as a girl with no martial arts abilities, and through the course of the novel cultivates to become a transcendent (aka immortal).

In this novel, plants, animals, and monsters can all become human and cultivate to transcendence, or lose their primordial spirit (aka nascent soul) and have to start all over, or be obliterated completely after failing their tribulation. Grotto-heavens and magic treasures abound, and we see the beginning of sects as major organizations in wuxia novels with important roles in the plot, such as Emei, Qingcheng, Mount Hua, Wudang, Mount Huang, Snowy Mountain, Kongtong, Kunlun, and Wutai, as well as the emergence of what would later become the archetypal eccentric beggar character. There are miraculous drugs, sword kinesis, and battles between mythical beasts, and heretic cultivators trying to cheat their way to a faster transcendence. In short, pretty much all of the elements one normally sees in the typical xianxia cultivation webnovel. <<less

Summary from the web novel:

Fa Hua is the most outstanding prodigy from the Magic Domain. He lives in the Magic Domain, upholds law and order, has etiquette and is well-mannered, is an expert at commanding, and controls the power of the Codex.

Lan Ge is the most outstanding prodigy from the Blue Domain. He lives in the Blue Domain, advocates freedom, lives as a free soul, is an expert at battling, and controls the power of the Elements.

The people from the Magic Domain believe that humans are descendants of the Gods. During the ancient times, they received the blessings of the Codex, which allowed them to create and uphold law and order.

The people from the Blue Domain believe that humans are naturally born to be pampered. They were favoured by nature and obtained the power of the Six Major Elements — water, fire, earth, wind, light and darkness. They believe strongly in having freedom.

Although both Domains were made up of humans, their mindsets were highly conflicting, causing them to be in a constant state of half-confrontation and half-cooperation. Whenever they were attacked by other non-human tribes, they would work together to fight against their common enemy. But when there were no external threats present, they refused to tolerate one another.

Given these huge conflicts between their Domains, it was only by chance of a risky adventure that Fa Hua and Lan Ge crossed paths. Through a serendipitous encounter, they were both bound together by a mysterious contract that allowed them to share the same fate. With this contract, they were granted the ability to call upon each other’s powers…
