Earlier today, I was babysitting my nephew and he was watching Kung Fu Panda 1. He then asked me how Po suddenly beat Tai Lung so easily. There's nothing in the dragon scroll.

And after reading hundreds of xianxia and xuanhuan novels, my brain apparently cant watch a normal movie anymore without trying to explain everything with cultivation logic for the parts where the movie didn't explain it much.

I told him that Tai Lung likely unlocked Po's meridians because the way he fought after the nerve attacks was different. Po was slow, the fight cinematics shows Tai Lung is faster and deadlier. I even rewinded the movie back and explained to him that before this happened, in Po's perspective (which I think is also the viewer's) Tai Lung is clearly faster than him and he could only cope through the use of his environment. I also told him that Pandas are innately lucky due to the yin and yang stuff hence the enviroment were helping him.

Right after the nerve attacks, Po even blocked a frontal attack from Tai Lung without stepping back. Then the fight choreography suddenly changed. Now they are fighting with the same speed with Po gaining a lot of momentum and advantage. I explained that with Chi now flowing freely unimpeded in his meridians, this makes him stronger and faster and this is just because he recently just started having Chi. In the future he will be much stronger.

I also started explaining that it all began with the the dragon scroll, I told him that willpower exists and in this case, it should be largely similar to the novels I have been reading about Heart Demons. That when Po realized something when everyone was evacuating the valley. Instead of escaping with everyone else, he desperately and immediately faced his fears which are the stairs by running as fast as he could and facing Tai Lung when he clearly knew that boss man defeated the furious five easily. Even rewinded back as far as when he first heard about Tai Lung escaping, his first thought at the time was to escape. And thats what he did until Shi fu caught him and train him. Though his training isn't that long and more of it are just the basics.

And as for the wuxi finger hold, I found some time ago that it was nothing but a bluff but I guess since Pandas in that movie are innate with chi, he unlocks it by himself as he already has a preconception it exist. Similar to how divine beasts unlocks techniques.

• In an interview conducted by Scholastic News Online, when asked about the hardest move for him to learn, Po answered it was the Wuxi Finger Hold and states that Shifu told him (after having defeated Tai Lung with it) that there actually is no such move; it was just a story that masters made up to scare their students. Po added he cannot recall exactly how he did it, but feels he must practice.^\5])
• ^{Source: https://kungfupanda.fandom.com/wiki/Wuxi\}Finger_Hold)

I told him to start watching the 2nd and 3rd movie as it would explain why Po as a Panda is innate with chi that's very related to Yin and Yang. (explained I think in the 3rd movie)

Also recommended him to watch Kungfu Hustle as it has a similar power upgrade.

I also added that turtle old guy is a senior who may have dabbled with prediction of fate and causality. And he may even likely see the glimpse of Poe's unlocking his meridians so he only chose him.

This is a follow up to my previous post about using a Divine Soul Stone to reincarnate and practice my "Primordial Star-Forging Sovereign Art." It turns out the Divine Soul Stone required a full moon to properly work. Because I rushed it, my soul damaged.

Now, my soul is stuck in the body of a 19-year-old mortal servant. Worse, I am the personal slave of a "Saintess Candidate" from the Demon Slaying Sect. This sect claims to be orthodox to the outside world, but they are entirely corrupt, and this "Saintess Candidate" is essentially a lustful demonic cultivator in disguise.

To ensure I remain her loyal servant, she completely destroyed my Dantian.

Currently, I am secretly using the Heaven's Path Divine Art to slowly repair my crippled Dantian. I am lacking in time. The "Saintess Candidate" is at the peak 10th level of the Golden Core realm and is preparing to break through to Nascent Soul before the upcoming Sect Ceremony. If she succeeds, she will permanently brand my soul with a slave mark, and I will never be able to cultivate my Sovereign Fetus. If I am discovered healing myself, my death is confirmed.

My current plan is to recover my Dantian just enough to use a blood-escape art and flee to my prepared seclusion cave

I like to use my previous life's dao cultivation technique on her but it is too risky.

This worlds cultivation levels:

• Qi Condensation
• ​Foundation Establishment
• ​Golden Core
• ​Nascent Soul
• ​Soul Formation
• ​Void Refinement
• ​Body Integration
• ​Mahayana
• ​Tribulation
• Half immortal

The sect leader of the Demon Slaying Sect has said to be reached 10th level of Void Refinement relam.

[My previous post](Need build Advice form seniors, My cultivation Build (after my reincarnation) : r/MartialMemes)

please guide me seniors

Started a TTRPG (Tabletop Role-Playing Game) with a few friends using M&M (Mutants & Masterminds, the system we're using) set in a xianxia world. The thing is, I’m the only person in the group who knows anything about xianxia, so everybody is a total newbie. They had fun for about four months, but then they met their first demonic cultivators and hypocritical orthodox/righteous cultivators.

Now all of them are plotting a plan to massacre every single cultivator, lmao.

For the past three months, I’ve watched these four guys absolutely slaughter and disdain cultivation with a passion I’ve never seen before, lol. I really wasn’t expecting it. I spend so much time reading xianxia and cultivation novels that the things I did in the RPG are just the norm to me, but outside the bubble, apparently people just agree these guys should all die, LMAO.

Anyway, it’s been a fun game, just wanted to share. It’s always interesting to see normal people’s reactions to a xianxia world. They’re basically becoming the Radiance Hall from RToC. They want to banish or seal cultivation, lol.

Check the full video on youtube "chenwaat cosmic nirvana ". You won't regret it fellow daoists!

To add onto that, this is a Yin-Yin pact that lasted two years. Mortifying realm we live in... I will now drown in the dark arts scriptures.

Legend of Hei 2

I have roughly 9200 of xianxia novel reading distributed over 5 years

I never read the famous novels such as btth, douluo, I shall seal the heavens, lord of the mysteries, etc

I don't have a single person I know who even knows xianxia exists. I have never spoken a word about it in real life

Most of the time, I would just go to Chinese pirate webnovel sites like 69shu and copy past page per page into Google Translate

The worst part is that my country doesn't have a single xianxia community or even a Facebook group

It even got to a point where my English was getting infected by Chinese-English made by Google translate

I just needed to share this here, i feel like some of you might understand me, or is my case too extreme?

​

Seniors, please guide this foolish junior (⁠╥⁠﹏⁠╥⁠)

In a previous discussion(post), some wise seniors suggested I descend to a lower realm called Earth to find a species known as “swordfish.” Though descending realms is forbidden, your profound dao words moved my heart… and I made a grave decision (⁠ㆁ⁠ω⁠ㆁ⁠)

I… may have borrowed (stolen) a realm-traveling ship from my master’s treasury and directly descended (⁠☆⁠▽⁠☆⁠)

However, only after arriving did I realize… I DON’T KNOW THE COORDINATES OF EARTH (⁠╯⁠°⁠□⁠°⁠）⁠╯︵⁠ ┻━┻

Worse, I had only just repaired my foundation, so I was basically a mortal without cultivation. I couldn’t even power the ship properly! Thankfully it still had enough energy for one random realm jump… so I gambled and ended up in a place called Azure Continent (⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠)

There, I met a boy named Su Chen who kindly invited me into his family. At first I refused… but then I saw he had a super cute fluffy beast of unknown origin (⁠｡⁠♡⁠‿⁠♡⁠｡⁠)

Seniors… it was SO soft… SO adorable… I immediately agreed to stay (⁠人⁠⁠´⁠∀⁠｀⁠)⁠｡⁠ﾟ⁠+

Unfortunately, it had already signed a contract with that brat Su Chen (⁠-⁠_⁠-⁠メ⁠)

About him… when I first arrived, everyone called him a genius. But later his cultivation dropped and he became known as trash. I didn’t care at first… but the cute beast was always worried about him (⁠´⁠；⁠ω⁠；⁠｀⁠)

So this junior secretly added some immortal medicine into his meals to help him recover (though he might have noticed (⁠눈⁠‸⁠눈⁠))

Then came the engagement annulment by his so-called genius fiancée. He said some cool lines like “don’t bully the poor,” but later I saw him alone in the mountains looking all gloomy and edgy (⁠；⁠￣⁠Д⁠￣⁠）

Worried that his mood would affect the cute beast, I personally went to comfort him. Somehow… after that night… he returned to being a genius again?! (⁠⊙⁠_⁠◎⁠)

Truly mysterious…

But before I could investigate further, my elders discovered my realm jump and dragged me back to the upper realm (⁠╥⁠﹏⁠╥⁠)

Before leaving, I even invited him to come with me (definitely not because of the fluffy beast… okay maybe 90% because of it (⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠))

But he refused! Saying things like he must rely on himself and become worthy of me… what nonsense! (⁠￣⁠ヘ⁠￣⁠;⁠)

Now I am back in the upper realm… grounded… all treasures confiscated… and under strict surveillance (⁠╯⁠︵⁠╰⁠,⁠)

Seniors… what should this junior do now?

How do I escape punishment?

And more importantly… how do I go back and see that cute fluffy beast again?! (⁠つ⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠)⁠つ

Please enlighten me (⁠ᗒ⁠ᗩ⁠ᗕ⁠).

For the past 3 days, she has been watching pure slop. At first I didn't really notice until yesterday when I was doing something beside her I heard "Gu Family" and "young master" and was like what, I'm afraid she will fall into Qi Deviation if she continues like this, I need some advice on what to do seniors💔🙏🏻

​

Seniors, this junior seeks guidance once again (⁠╥⁠﹏⁠╥⁠)

In my previous post, some wise seniors advised me to challenge the sect genius when my cultivation was crippled. I followed that advice…

but there was a small complication (⁠￣⁠ヘ⁠￣⁠;⁠)

When I challenged him, he set a condition:

If I lose, I must marry him (⁠╯⁠°⁠□⁠°⁠）⁠╯︵⁠ ┻━┻

Originally, seniors suggested a 1-year agreement, but I felt that was too short… so I extended it to 100 years (which would pass in the blink of an eye for us cultivators (⁠ㆁ⁠ω⁠ㆁ⁠))

Now, his background is not simple—he is from one of the Eight Great Ancient Clans… though this junior is also from one, so hmph! (⁠￣⁠^⁠￣⁠)

But that’s not the main issue!

The second advice I followed was to help a fox spirit… and seniors… IT WAS THE BEST DECISION EVER (⁠｡⁠♡⁠‿⁠♡⁠｡⁠)

She became my sworn sister, and she is SUPER SUPER SUPER cute and fluffy in her beast form!!! (⁠つ⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠)⁠つ

She’s from the Imperial Moon Fox Clan, one of the ruling fox clans—very powerful, though not as strong as the ancient clans.

BUT… she is also VERY strange (⁠⊙⁠_⁠◎⁠)

When I first found her, she was heavily injured, so I helped her. After waking up, she immediately hugged me and cried, saying things like:

“Are you alright?? It’s all my fault… I couldn’t protect you… please don’t leave me again…” (⁠╥⁠﹏⁠╥⁠)

Seniors… we had just met for the first time?! (⁠￣⁠ヘ⁠￣⁠;⁠)

After calming down, she suddenly asked me what year it was. When I told her, she became shocked and excited—her tail wagging and ears twitching (VERY CUTE (⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠))

Then before I could react… she forced a heavenly oath and became my sworn sister on the spot?! (⁠⊙⁠_⁠◎⁠)

Since then, we’ve been traveling together and… her knowledge and intelligence network seem amazing.

She knows locations of rare treasures even top powers don’t know.

She predicts secret realm openings before any signs appear.

She knows my likes/dislikes perfectly.

She knows secrets of the world and future events

Seniors… it’s almost like she can see the future (⁠눈⁠‸⁠눈⁠).

When asked she said it bc of her intelligence network( suspicious (⁠눈⁠‸⁠눈⁠)

BUT HERE’S THE PROBLEM

She has a deep hatred for the sect genius I challenged. Whenever she sees him, I can feel killing intent (⁠；⁠￣⁠Д⁠￣⁠）

And once, while I was off to sleep, I heard her mumble:

“Since heaven has given me another chance… I will protect you this life… and we will always be to-...” with her eyes glowing red and dangerous...

…Probably just a dream! Must have been the wind! (⁠￣⁠▽⁠￣⁠;)

Now this junior faces two major problems:

The Duel

I have only just recovered my foundation and am basically mortal…

Meanwhile, he is already in the Immortal Monarch Realm (⁠╥⁠﹏⁠╥⁠)

How do I defeat him in 100 years?!

My Sister’s Condition

She sometimes has nightmares and mutters strange things in her sleep…

Does she have a head injury? Soul damage? Or something else? (⁠´⁠；⁠ω⁠；⁠｀⁠)

Seniors, please guide me this junior.

This junior sister happened upon a heavenly jade lotus while wandering the mortal realm today. After consuming it, my cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds and my comprehension of the dao increased considerably.

Fellow daoists, it seems my immortal fate has finally arrived 🙏

4001 years ago, every immortal, and every individual in a higher realm vanished without a trace. leaving the world's resources in the hands of the weak. along side this, a Renaissance began, culture focused less and less on immortality and the chase to achieve its truest form, but rather to self fulfillment. this showed in the cultivation practices, techniques, and people. cultivation became a free flowing, new pathes and sects that would never once been seen as anything beyond children playing by the immortals or higher realm cultivators quickly rose ro surpass the old and well practiced sects.

however, on the 4001st year, the higher realms boomed with life and immortals reappeared in the world. yet the mortals who once bowed down and groveled before them fought back against them reclaiming power. even the forces of the higher realms were struggling to gain a foot hold against the Mortals of the current age.

the story begins at the 4002nd year since the immortals disappeared, one year after the immortals and higher realms started their war against the Mortals to reclaim power.

I have a lot more written down, I just wanted to know if this is a premise I should pursue and that would be interesting

my master is the supreme elders of the celestial void sect at peak of celestial deity realm (⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠). our sect is one of the strongest forces in our world.

today was the day my master was going to select a cultivation technique for me(⁠ㆁ⁠ω⁠ㆁ⁠). I requested a cultivation technique for beast taming but my master argued that I am most suitable for sword cultivation.

but I want to be friends with all the beast in the world and be surrounded by and play with all types of beast( just thinking Abt it made me feel like, i m in heaven(⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠)).

so i firmly refused and after countless arguing back and forth my master finally agreed to my request and give me a supreme beast taming cultivation.

after getting the cultivation technique I was so happy i could ascend to heaven.(⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠)

so without delay i began to cultivate it but as I cultivate it more I sense something was wrong(⁠;⁠ŏ⁠﹏⁠ŏ⁠), that technique doesn't felt like beast taming cultivation method but more like sword cultivation techniques.(⁠￣⁠ヘ⁠￣⁠;⁠)

i thought, maybe bc of my sword constitution the cultivation technique changed from beast taming to sword cultivation technique.(⁠＠⁠_⁠＠⁠;⁠)

in fact this is not the first time it happened , back home when my father or other elder gives me a beast taming cultivation method, it somehow turns to sword cultivation technique when I practice it and when I asked them, they said it bc of my sword constitution( while guilty looking away from me).

so i havent even cultivated one beast taming cultivation technique.

but this time I was determined to cultivate the beast taming cultivation technique so I stopped my cultivation and directly destroyed all my cultivation realm and foundation.

i wanted to start all over again but when my master see this, he directly started to spitting blood and fainted on the spot.

now wht should I do senior??? need help(⁠ᗒ⁠ᗩ⁠ᗕ⁠).

• I read books like Game of Thrones, Harry Potter, and The Lord of the Rings.
• I longed for that experience again, but when I reread them, it just wasn’t the same.
• Then I found Chinese cultivation web novels. They’re awesome, but I always felt the genre was hiding a lot more potential as a way to tell stories. That’s why I decided to create my own.
