Chinaman Discussion Thread

No. Its still xianxia but leaning more on classical genre. Still big feats but the MC doesn't reach the peak of even his own universe - Three Realms. Then outside of it exist higher realms. Also he's focusing on flying swords thus his durability is vastly inferior to his attacks while his body is also weaker since he doesn't cultivate it.
 
One of the closest MC to such a state of emotionlessness is the MC from Floating Immortal Order (dropped novel..sad but i mtl ed through it 285/490...they were so close but yet so far) as he becomes the Heavens, the Immortal Dao, the emotionless embodiment of it.

Nice novel as its goes against the usual mc defies heaven to gain immortality...here the immortals of old are dead and the gods and buddhas rule where everyone can have eternal lifespan but the MC does the opposite and shackles all lifeforms to limited longevity.
Talk about pulling the ladder up behind you.
Because in that verse, characters prioritized researching their thema (concept/essence) and reaching the truth of their magic above anything else, sometimes to the point where good and evil didn’t matter. It also requires them to research the truths of the world. Thema is part of their existence, soul, spirit, and nature. Sometimes it's even the opposite of them. That guy’s thema was Caritas (love). He manipulated everyone so they could defeat/destroy his flesh, allowing him to separate himself from sensus (love with emotions, feelings, and passion), so he could make his thema (Caritas) into a perfect, singular, and total thema: Amore ( love without sensus.)
Imagine researching the concept of love, and coming up with loveless love as a result.
 
This Seat has read most of the popular scriptures of the Divine Library Novelupdates and needs new scriptures, may a fellow daoist give this Young Master some face and recommend new scriptures?

thanks, i'll add it to my list, i'm almost finishing "The Villainess Cultivates, but with Unlimited Save Points"

The novel has no romance and the protagonist has a system, she has the power of Save and Load, it's really fun

interesting, i don't remember reading a novel with female mc other than romance will add it to my list

My main interest is female MC with no romance, I can recommend a lot of novels like that such as:

*"The Cultivation Method of Junior Sister is Unscientific"
*"After Changing to the Ruthless Way, the Brothers Cried and Begged for Forgiveness"
*"Doomed by Fate, My Sect Urges My Comeback"
 
(Yes, finding female MC with no romance is harder than winning the lottery)

Btw, there's a novel that although the MC is a lesbian, she is not in love with anyone so there's no romance from her part (although some girls from her sect love her), i'm currently working in this novel btw, maybe i'll publish the profile until the end of this year.

the name is "
The Eldest Martial Sister Gave Up Treatment"

what are the golden core feacts there?
So for context, the realms in this novel is Embryonic Breathing, Qi Cultivation, Foundation Establishment, Purple Mansion, Golden Core and Nascent Soul/Dao Embryo.

In general
_Control fate and destiny of lower beings. Can calculate to predict the future. (Dr Strange style and makes lower beings see these predictions and simulations as another life that they have lived)

_Their true body is giant and can't seem to be detected by lower beings
While Li Yuanjiao was surveying the island, Lu Jiangxian focused his divine sense, and remained motionless.

Lu Jiangxian's gaze shifted toward the island. What had been a calm scene now appeared completely transformed before his eyes.

The once-empty sky was now filled with a dense cluster of figures and swirling mana lights, splitting it into five distinct sections.

A towering figure sat cross-legged in each section, their forms massive enough to cover the sky. Behind them, a halo of colorful light radiated, and golden runes fell like raindrops from their bodies. A swarm of figures clung to them like ants, each wearing a unique expression.

Ten massive spheres, each the size of the sun, hung suspended in the sky. They were white on the outside with black centers, unmistakably the eyes—some with vertical pupils, others square or hexagram. All were fixed on the small island below, gazing directly at it.

Eyes...

The suns he had just seen were the eyes of these five figures, whose faces were obscured by endless clouds. Yet, those eyes seemed to burn into his heart. They were both distant in the sky and unsettlingly close at the same time.

These figures were so immense that their heads seemed to press against the highest shroud of the heavens. They had to lean forward, drawing their heads close together, as if they were children peering down at ants on the ground.

They sat on the ocean floor, their bodies hidden beneath the deep waters. Some appeared lost in thought, others clasped their hands together, or rested their faces on their palms, blocking the sky with their sheer presence.

The five figures sat around the Green Pine Temple, which stood at the center like a dice cup. Each of them seemed to hold their own silent guess, waiting patiently for the revelation.

Above the island, an arc began to form, accompanied by natural phenomena. Clearly, this must be the grotto heaven—a delectable dessert on display before the five True Monarchs.

Lu Jiangxian stared, frozen in place, too afraid to look away. Four giants loomed before him, with countless human figures perched on their shoulders, knees, and even fingertips, each holding dharma artifacts in various poses. They remained motionless, like statues, all staring at him.

The fifth giant sat behind Li Yuanjiao, one hand raised in front of his golden-white lips, while the other rested flat in front of his chest, palm open, like a great island.

Both of them had already fallen into his hand. His palm prints were like deep grooves, and his golden white skin shone as if it were some extraordinary treasure.

His clothes shimmered like a golden-white cloud. At the same time, they also seemed like a waterfall cascading upward into the endless clouds above. Lu Jiangxian stared, catching a vague glimpse of a face—its features not fully visible.

The True Monarch wore a jade crown resembling a mountain, and his silver-white oval pupils swirled with illusions—fire refining real gold, gold and metal striking each other, sand and stone rising into the air. Each vision appeared one after the other.

_Their voice can carry magical effect and seems to echo after they have departed a place
_The words they written down also can carry effect that lower beings couldn't look on without feeling nauseous
_They can passively erase the memory of them from Foundation Establishment and lowers cultivators, if they see them in action
_The act of their ascension to Golden Core can makes the Dao they cultivate become stronger around the world

There are more stuff but that is getting to spoiler territory and you must read it to have more context

EDIT: Oh yeah, and lower beings couldn't say their real name and must refer to them by their title

ayoooo this is the first time i've seen an overpowered Golden Core like that, usually not even Nascent Soul or Soul Transformation have powers like that (except the memory stuff)

Even the memory stuff I think most GC/NS in other novels dont have. Usually its active and they must go out of there way to do it. Here its passive, like after you see a GC do something and they left, your memory of that event will fade.

Oh yeah and for GC in this novel, you couldnt see their faces, like the quote I posted above and you cant depict their face at all in paintings. For Dao Embryo its even worse. You can only depict them as symbol, kind of like Allah in Islam

And the cultivation system in this novel is pretty unique, it already spawn multiple novels that borrowed this novel's system, one of which also becomes pretty popular on Qidian like this one

Can you send link again bro? That link is expired
 
I'm scaling Shrounding The Heavens rn, and I plan to add it to the wiki, along with Perfect World and Sacred Ruins. (They share the cosmology if you don't know.) The question is, what should the verse be called? I don't know if those three books already have a collective name, which is why I'd thought to ask the seniors here.

If it doesn't already have a name, probably won't name it like Ergenverse, Chendongverse, or Dongverse, sounds weird. I was thinking the Sacred Ruins Trilogy, or Shrouding The Heavens Trilogy.

Shrouding the Heaven Trilogy is often named in Chinese community.
