Description: [edit] [history]

All Paths lead to Heaven; be it the 72 Named, or the myriad unnamed. And those who study these paths, are those we call, Cultivators!

On the night of the 1st Day of the First Month in the Year 715 NCE, a Star is born; a boy of ordinary body and unordinary heart. And with his birth, an age-old prophecy is sealed.

In an Era marked by progress and greed -in a time of machines and guns- this newborn Star will lead the march against the treacherous traditions of mankind and prepare the world for its coming tribulations.For such, is the will of the Heavens!

In this novel, I aim to craft a world where cultivators and regular mortals live hand-in-hand in peace; a peace that was hard-won after centuries of struggle. The world is set in an early 20th-century setting, where science and human engineering are seeing a boom in development. The result of the said boom is the rapid adoption and proliferation of technology such as cars, trucks, trains, steamboats, airships, and of course, hot weapons.

With the discovery of the new continent some thirty years ago, and the efforts of numerous forces and countries to colonise the land, the geo-political scene of the world is very tense with strife, big and small, littered throughout.The plot opens in the Year 735 and mainly follows the story of Wuzhi, a lowly scholar hailing from the newly discovered continent.

Having never previously left the place of his birth, Wuzhi embarks on a journey out of his home town in a bid to explore the world... all while wishing to accomplish some 'Grand Strategy.' It also quickly becomes evident that Wuzhi has an unusual personality and an uncommon background.Why does Wuzhi have a strange personality? What does he mean to accomplish with his 'Grand Strategy?' The answer to these two immediate questions will be answered through the course of Wuzhi's journey.

The bulk of the story will be character-centric, meaning that you will not see a lot of hot-blooded fights and one-on-one battles. Instead, there will be an unusual focus on dialogue and character communication.I suggest that if you are someone who only likes to see the MC break through the odds, rescue the chick, defeat the big-bad, rinse and repeat... this is definitely not the novel for you.If you are, HOWEVER, interested in a world, which honestly, I have never seen portrayed before, that seeks to explore the differences between 'Cultivators' and 'Regular People,' and how these two forces will interact, the conflicts borne from their interaction, etc, DO stay.

What to expect.

> A more traditional Xianxia wherein 'cultivation' is more than chugging pills and snorting energy.

> Plots, schemes, and political intrigue with ACTUAL consequences and impact on the story.

> An MC that ain't right *spoken in Hank Hill's voice*

> An incredibly complex fictional world.

Paths of Heaven will update rapidly.
