Realm of Letters

The catastrophe of the literary realm descended. The Ancestor used fragments of the academy's divine stele to carry the clan into the myriad heavens, but he alone fell into another world—Earth—where he hid within a mortal body for half a century. The human world has no spiritual energy, yet literary thought can forge a foundation for the Dao; his cultivation rose like climbing a tower, lacking only spiritual power to hold up the peak. Through the smoke and fire of city life, he found the gate back to his realm. When he returned, his homeland was half-sunken into the demonic path, his kin cold in death, his old friends scattered like stars. He withdrew the literary edge he had gained in the mortal world and went into seclusion, fusing Earth's literary resonance with the ancient arts of the other world. In one breakthrough, his name shook immortals and demons. First he walked unnamed into the demon nest and planted the banner of the Dao amid ten thousand troops; then he gathered the remnants and restored the mountains and rivers. After sweeping away all demons, he abandoned immortal rank, caring nothing for the empty name of an emperor's throne, and alone knocked at the ultimate heavenly gate where the Dao of Letters and the Dao of Immortals intertwine—from a passerby in the mortal world, he became a legend revered by two realms. — Description from novelcodex.orgFull novel: Realm of Letters — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠
