Ascension Book One – A Western Xianxia Isekai Cultivation NovelReborn in a world ruled by immortal sects and ruthless cultivators, Lin Xu awakens without a divine inheritance, ancient artifact, or overpowered bloodline.
All he has… is a secret.
Buried deep within his soul lies the Inner Genesis Realm—a miniature world where time flows differently and civilizations rise and fall at his command. While others struggle through painful trial and error, Lin Xu cultivates in simulation, perfecting deadly techniques and forging Dao paths across centuries... all in the span of a single breath.
But spirit stones are scarce. Cultivation is costly. And failure within his simulator carries real-world consequences. As rival sects tighten their grip and secrets of his past life stir awake, Lin Xu must walk a razor's edge—balancing loyalty to his sister, the ambitions of his simulated disciples, and the cold gaze of ancient cultivators who see him as nothing more than a pawn.
When destiny slams shut the gates of opportunity, Lin Xu won’t beg for fate to change.
I love LitRPG books with a new and refreshing “system”. This didn’t disappoint. The story has so much potential and could go in so many different directions. I can’t wait!
I really enjoyed the main character, the relationships, and the plot. Sometimes I found myself skipping through the fight scenes but I really loved the story overall. Please write the next book soon.
This is a really fun cultivation story. The protagonist is slightly overpowered. The character building is good. Some setup for a future relationship. Good action and pacing. Solid writing.
