In this world where gods and demons existed and were told of amongst the humans, and the leader of the human world proclaimed himself the Son of Heaven, why would the Immortals not involve themselves? They might proclaim themselves above such things, but I have lived over a thousand years. The Immortals are a hypocritical bunch, but sensitive to violence; the Canonisation was a blood-letting of such epic proportions that rivers of blood still stained all of China.

Supernatural forces still intervened now and then. Demons and spirits had conscripted in the armies of the Han and the Western Chu. Diao Chan had seduced Lü Fengxian into murdering his foster father. Political power and the prosecution of demons had historical links; inside and outside of China are the same.

This humble servant had assisted Prime Minister Li Si and the King Zheng in the founding of the Qin dynasty.

Our great Tang dynasty was no exception, is no exception, and will not be an exception.

Peerless Hegemon Vol. 1 (Completed) by SimpleDynasty

Ye Feng lived two lives in one lifetime. First, he basked in the light of Righteousness, becoming an idol of peace and justice. Second, he trod the mired path of the Darkest Path, becoming an object of fear and death. One lifetime, Two Identities, countless experiences, still without purpose. A meaningless existence. An empty husk. In his selfishness of wanting to fill the void in him, he became the catalyst that destroyed Reality. He now controlled everything, ultimate power, uncontestable by none. But he cast it away, to be reborn anew. With a new name and a family, his goal was to understand, his place. To understand how to no longer feel empty. With his family consisting of a Reincarnated Twin Sister and Parents with inscrutable pasts, his desire was not that of grandeur. In this lifetime, he wishes not to hold power, not to gain eternal life, nor control of everything, he only wishes to live, and hopefully look at sunrise with a smile on his face. == Disclaimer: The story focuses on the Main Character's emotional and personality growth. He is someone who is obviously OP in some perspectives but almost crippled in others. Warning: This is story might trigger some people and is not for everyone. It is also has a slow pace. Any kind of feedback would be nice as well. Then, that's it, have fun. Volume 1: Complete Volume 2: Complete

Prayers never answered by JewelzLibrary

For thousands of years, many people whether in cultivation or not would pray to the gods for all kinds of help. Some would pray just to have something to believe in. others for wealth, fame, love, or protection. The gods In heaven would answer to these prayers, though in some cases they may not be answered as quickly as people would hope. Times change and so do people. The beliefs of the gods still hold strong, but nowadays many pray for mostly protection as ghouls, zombies, and fierce spirits continue to roam in the mortal realm. The hard work now falls into the hands of cultivators and their sects. Now offerings are given to gods for protection more than anything. However, in a single night many temples and shrines have come to burn to the ground and left behind would be dark flames of resentful energy. This evil being is corrupted with hatred and has reached devastation like levels. Maybe even beyond that. With their strengths lowering, the gods must seek help from the Yiling Patriarch and his companions. Xie Lian and Hua Cheng must work together with them to solve the mystery and rid the world of such chaos. I DO NOT OWN ANY OF THE CHARACTERS EXCEPT THE VILLAINS OF THIS STORY. ALL OTHER CHARACTERS BELONG TO MO XIANG TONG XIU

Mesmeree by Akatsuki_Shin04

A long time ago, it was said that at the summit of the great Mount Feng Ya, there was an immortal deity who resided within the depths of a cave. A Dragon Lord, he was, an almighty being who had lived for thousands of years. Having witnessed countless rises and falls of humanity, travelling through a long passage of time, he had gathered a mountain of treasures and knowledge that no mortal could ever dream of obtaining. He was a whimsical person, this dragon. In the long life he had lived, he had come across and mingled with many beauties from many eras, from the most bustling of cities, to the most untamed of wilderness. He was free and unrestrained; no matter what, there was none that could capture his heart. That is, until he stumbled upon a mysterious lake hidden in the deepest part of a forest brimming with pure spiritual energy. Here, he encountered a graceful, yet stubborn Lake Spirit, the most beautiful person he had seen in his life who stole his heart away at first glance.
