La bendición del Oficial del Cielo, vol. 7
EL CAOS HA ESTALLADO
Tras escapar de la montaña Horno de Cobre, una amenaza largamente temida resurge, más poderosa y peligrosa que nunca. Xie Lian, junto a Hua Cheng y un grupo de inmortales, deberán hacer frente a un enemigo que parece estar en todas partes... Con el equilibrio del mundo tambaleándose, secretos enterrados se revelan -y con ellos, una verdad imposible de ignorar. El pasado, el presente y el destino de los dioses colisionan en una batalla épica donde el poder, la obsesión y la fe se enfrentan.
Traiciones, revelaciones y una devoción que desafía la eternidad se entrelazan en este volumen, donde el destino del cielo tiembla y el amor es la única luz en medio de tanta oscuridad. ¿Será su vínculo lo bastante fuerte para resistir... o deberán sacrificarlo todo?

Hualian invented love. That's it.
September 18, 2023
We’re now reaching the climax of the story guyyssss. My stress levels were on high alert this whole volume.
Ahhh, since we are finally on Arc 5and have left that horrible Arc 4 behind, we are back in the present. Xie Lian and Hua Cheng have finally confessed and feelings were reciprocated and somehow they are even cuter than before?? A shitstorm is still happening around them, so things weren’t exactly peaceful, yet they still managed to incessantly flirt. Hua Cheng was so charming in this volume guys, he was just so cheeky. That man finally knows Xie Lian loves him back so he is not holding back at all!
And I KNOW that everyone around them was absolutely done with their bs. The constant flirting and lovesick eye contact is one thing, but the “spiritual power exchange” is another. I mean the other heavenly officials know, we know, HuaLian knows that they don’t necessarily got to kiss to share power but hey, Xie Lian knows what he wants and that’s to aggressively make out in the midst of battle I guess 🤭
This volume was just a treasure trove of quality HuaLian scenes. So much protective bf time, and kisses, and cheeky bastard hc.
Finding out J*n W* (and yes for now on I’m censoring his name, he’s officially on my shit list) was White No-Face was no surprise at all because unfortunately I was already spoiled a long long time ago, but that reveal was so chilling. Now I honestly understand why tgcf fans hate him so much. He truly is scary as hell, a creep, and just icky in general, and I honestly really wish that I went into this volume blind so I can be surprised because before finding out I did not suspect him at all.
My feelings for him wavered throughout this book. At one point, when Mei Nianqing told Xie Lian the story of the Crown Prince of Wuyong, I felt bad for him. But who wouldn’t? It was brilliant how a young J*n W* parallels Xie Lian. Both revered Crown Princes who became gods, then losing their devotees when they tried so hard but still failed to protect their people. Knowing how Xie Lian felt during that point in his life, how could you not sympathize with J*n W*… then he reminded me why I hated him so much...
Speaking of Mei Nianqing, the Xianle state preceptor, OH MY GODS I LOVE HIM SO MUCH! Finally being properly introduced to his character, I fell in love. He’s the aloof powerful wise master who’s honestly a bit of a goof who lowkey has a soft spot for his disciple. In other words, he’s basically Shen Qingqui from svsss. I mean I adore sqq so why wouldn’t I adore Mei Nianqing. He made me die laughing so many times. Not only is he just some dude who sweeps in in this critical moment of the story, chastises the other heavenly officials, supreme ghosts, and xl himself, he also is defensive and protective of Xie Lian which made me a little emotional ngl. I mean this boy needs all the support and love he can get so the state preceptor is a win in my eyes.
And my absolute FAVOURITE scene in the books was when Mei Nianqing discovers not only that his disciple is gay, in love with the ghost king — and wonders aloud if his teachings made xl gay, or if he was like that from birth — but finally he learns that the guy xl likes is the Star of Solitude. The child Xie Lian saved 800 years ago, who the state preceptor warned him would bring misfortune to those surrounding him. I was literally dying laughing.
State Preceptor, 800 years ago: you must stay away from this child, he’ll bring misfortune upon you
Xie Lian, now: … so about that…
Hah. Did any of you think I’d go this whole review without mentioning my pookie bear Shi Qingxuan? I honestly thought that the Black Water Arc was the last we saw of them so seeing him was a surprise. A very very very very nice surprise. I didn’t realize how much I missed him until I saw him again guys. I legit started crying when I realized that it was Shi Qingxuan, but ughhh my poor baby is not really living his best life right now. But he’s alive, he’s well, and if anything happens to him from here on out, I will raze the world to the ground.
I’m also disappointed with mxtx right now. Having that Beefleaf 'reunion’ near the end was pure torture. It was honestly so tense and emotional even if it was very brief. But gods my delusional self grasped that little piece of Beefleaf and ran…
Please. Yin Yu died?! No, I refuse to accept it. My babygirl cannot be dead…
That scene made me real emotional, the whole tense QuanYin situation bubbling up, and my (once again delusional) QuanYin heart hurt. But Yin Yu dying was just not it. But at least xl held him as he was going… and here I was happy we had more of Yin Yu and Quan Yizhen as characters. I am about to punt J*n W* off the face of the planet.
I just experienced a rollercoaster of emotion. I was sad one minute, crying-laughing the next, and then scared shitless the rest of the time. And there is one more volume left. One more volume. And I’m honestly scared for everyone’s lives. That cliffhanger is killing me. Is Hua Cheng and Mei Nianqing okay, what’s up with Mu Qing and Feng Xin? Everyone, just pleaseee live. My mental health depends on these characters and Xie Lian living at this point.
~~~~~~
The way Hua Cheng looks at Xie Lian. The pure domestic fluff portrayed. The beautiful art.
A tgcf cover reveal always makes my day frfr
Hua Cheng was right behind him, his hands steady on Xie Lian's waist. He was just one person, but to Xie Lian, it felt like the entire world was supporting him. He breathed in deeply and closed his eyes.
Ahhh, since we are finally on Arc 5
And I KNOW that everyone around them was absolutely done with their bs. The constant flirting and lovesick eye contact is one thing, but the “spiritual power exchange” is another. I mean the other heavenly officials know, we know, HuaLian knows that they don’t necessarily got to kiss to share power but hey, Xie Lian knows what he wants and that’s to aggressively make out in the midst of battle I guess 🤭

The higher one stood, the harder one fell. After falling from the heavens to the Mortal Realm, only endless cold and malice awaited him.

This series has overtaken my life in more ways than I can express, and I'm so incredibly grateful for it!
Some favourite things in this volume:
- Feng Xin's iconic "What the fuck, what the fuck, what the actual fuck, what in the fucking world is that thing?!" which is me every time I open a work email 😂
- the return of an old fave character 🥺
- Hua Cheng playing hide and seek with Jun Wu
- Feng Xin getting a radish thrown at his face xD
- Pei Ming's macho ego being crushed by the Rain Master 💅
There were, as always, so many painful moments too, but we're going to pretend everyone is alive and fine!!

Thinking about Hua Cheng's atrocious calligraphy and Xie Lian's patient tutoring, leading to... ✨ shenanigans ✨ will never fail to make my day.

Hey. You thought this book was just regular degular xianxia? Cultivators who fight with spiritual weapons and talismans? Well, first of all, it literally isn’t—Hua Cheng has been out here transforming people into wooden weeble-wobbles at the slightest provocation for ages now. Call that regular. But in this volume you’ve really gotta lock in. I’m saying fasten your seatbelts, secure your tray tables in the upright and locked position, and prepare to take to the skies for a front-row view of a FLYING MECHA BATTLE.

What is happening.. I am so confused but also intrigued. I want the series to end so that I can know what happens but I also don't want it to end!

Before I start going crazy, let me calm down and write a half decent summary:
In book 7 of Heaven Official’s Blessing, we follow Xie Lian and Hua Cheng’s journey through the kiln and the mission to figure out who is behind the mask of White No-Face. Xie Lian starts to gather pieces of a story that he once believed was his own, as he fights against the many obstacles his opponent hurls at him. Hua Cheng is right by his side the entire time, and together, they have the potential to achieve greatness. This book was filled to the brim with twists, turns, betrayal, stress, and, of course, plenty of moments that touch the hearts of us Hualian shippers 🫶
❃ A powerful hand seized his wrist. Behind him, Jun Wu was smiling.
”Xianle, what are you looking at?”
My thoughts are everywhere on this one! Especially given the fact that there is only one more book after this 😭 I’m not ready to say goodbye yet. Once the plot twists start hitting early in the book, it is a WILD ride from there. The author gets your attention and then throws you into a whirlwind of mysteries, romance, friendship, and ideas of honor. This book had me stressed all the way out while also pumping how awesome Hua Cheng is.
❃ Hua cheng was right behind him, his hands steady on Xie Lian’s waist. He was just one person, but to Xie Lian, it felt like the entire world was supporting him.
The Hua Cheng x Xie Lian tension was amazing in this book. It’s like they have a nonverbal understanding of each other, and as the book goes on, they get more and more comfortable with each other. The little moments they have together are so cute and sometimes so meaningful. I wish that love like this existed in a more plentiful way. If love doesn't look like this, I don’t want it. (I feel like I say that to myself way too often...)
They were so obviously whipped for each other the entire time, and I was living for it. One of my favorite things they do, is when Hua Cheng gives Xie Lian spiritual power through a kiss🫶 and almost every time…someone sees it and Xie Lian gets all flustered trying to explain even when we allllll know there’s nothing to explain 😂
Hua Cheng and Xie Lian also got a deeper understanding of each other through this book, and their relationship moved forward in both the cheesy moments but the real and mature moments as well.
❃When Xie Lian realized that Hua Cheng likely hadn’t lived past eighteen, his fingers trembled. Hua Cheng reached out with one arm and gently covered Xie Lian’s chilly hands
~ now there was a specific quote in here that I wanted but I couldn’t find it 😭 but I’ll summarize it, it was something along the lines of: Even though Xie Lian was cold, and Hua Cheng couldn’t carry warmth, their touch was hot as fire…..it was something like that and it would have been perfect for this review but moving on
THE PLOT TWIST - Now don’t get me wrong, there was just a twist after twist after twist in this entire series, but THIS?!?!? I did not expect it at all! And of course, like all books go, it’s the person you’d LEAST EXPECT that actually is the bad guy. I almost cried.
The storyline in this book was ✨perfect✨ and I kind of can’t wait to see how it ends. But I also don’t want it to end 😭
Also, this book kept the humor of tgcf going. Especially with the reappearance of the State Preceptor lol:
❃Still, the state preceptor added with glum confusion, “But…after being single for eight hundred years, how did you end up with a Supreme Ghost King?”
~I was laughing my absolute butt of at this quote 👆the state preceptor was lowkey kind of badass in this book 😂 he was kind of like the wise elder that has no filter and won’t hesitate to put someone in their place. He was a cool character.
❃ “It doesn’t actually matter what I roll—it’s just for my own reference. I’m the only one who gets to decide whether it’s dangerous or not.” Then he opened the door.
“Let’s go, gege.”
~ Hua Cheng’s confidence 👆will always be my favorite thing about him. And like with this quote, later we know why he said that. Like he knew….he knew what was gonna happen 😭
anyways…MXTX is stealing all of my five stars with no remorse. And usually I dont give out five stars easily....but this seris can have them all. This author is so smart and the way the plot flows is brilliant. This series has a big fat imprint on my heart, and I can’t wait for the next one.

this series is eating up all my 5 stars like its candy- the thing that makes me sad is that after every book, there is a page at the end that says “the story continues in Heaven Official’s Blessing Vol #” …sniff but this book it says “The story concludes In Heaven Official’s Blessing vol. 8” I’m gonna cry. i have one book left. FULL RTC 😭💓

i was sooo stressed reading this volume. i got spoiled about who the antagonist is a long time before i decided to start reading this again and finishing it - but, it still seemed to come out of nowhere and was so shocking. mxtx did this so well. everything came together amazingly and i can’t believe how everything was connected. loved this a lot!
the slightly mecha? parts of this peeved me a little. it felt too random and that everything happened too easily. other than that, enjoyed pretty much everything. also, i didn’t really care for beefleaf like i thought i would but, the small part concerning the fan was moving.
can’t believe it’s ending in a volume 🥹🥹 interested to see how everything ends.

There's something satisfying in getting confirmation on a plot twist you've suspected since volume one. There's quite a bit happening and things escalated fast. I was happy to see some old favourites return. The way Heaven Official's Blessing is laid out, you got to know quite a few characters but all within different arcs. It feels like this is the first time the wider cast is shown collectively and it's making their differences more obvious [I confess, some of the characters felt like there weren't very distinguishable until brought together]. Looking forward to the finale in the last volume!

The fact that I read tgcf twice in the same year should be a good indicator on how much I love them (even Qi Rong, we need to find justice for this tsundere) 😭♥️

This is TGCF at its most unhinged. There are pseudo-mecha fights, a dramatic villain reveal, a grand reunion of all the side characters amidst peak action chaos. [redacted] is an excellent villain, so that part is my favorite by far - the unravelling of his story and the parallels with Xie Lian's. Also, I forgot how entertaining of a character Mei Nianqing is. This volume is probably the weakest for me, but it's still an addicting read.

Aside from the morbid predicaments and revelations, I just think that this volume is so unserious? I can't stop chuckling.
And since we're here now, I want to say that we always get to see people comparing Xie Lian and Jun Wu. But I don't think people really talk about the comparison between Hua Cheng and Jun Wu. They both genuinely like Xie Lian, but their obsessions are immensely different with each other. Hua Cheng's obsession is devotion while Jun Wu is possession that is full of narcissism. Hua Cheng worships and loves Xie Lian purely and without malice. On the other hand, Jun Wu merely sees Xie Lian as a tool for self-validation. He wants to use Xie Lian to validate the things he has done, but Hua Cheng never wanted to use Xie Lian. In fact, he wants to use his own self at Xie Lian’s expense. There's a lot more but I don't want to ruin it for everyone else, but it's really interesting if you lay them all out.
Moving on to Jun Wu, I really really like him. I don't condone the things he has done and I will never justify his actions, but I can't deny the fact that he is a really well-written character. Man, I feel sad for him honestly. But Xie Lian didn't deserve the things he has suffered. Nobody does.
Anyway, it's kinda funny but also melancholic that He Xuan told Shi Qingxuan (in Volume 4) to "never show yourself to me again," but then here goes Mr. Black Water Sinking Ships posed as "Hua Cheng" with the fixed Wind Master Fan up his ass. He Xuan personally fixing the fan and then snorting softly when Shi Qingxuan used his fan once again? He Xuan you are not so slick. Oh beafleaf, tsk tsk tsk.
GOSH, seems like I've talked a lot already and I honestly still has so much to say? But I will cut it now, this is not even the final volume! Well, I want to pay my respects to Yin Yu, his principles alone makes him much more superior than most 'gods' in the Upper Realm. He doesn't need to prove anything to anyone else, and I wish that he knows that.
That's it for now! Our HuaLian is getting more and more public, I love them for that. Let's hope Quan Yizhen doesn't adapt their way of sharing spiritual powers, haha!

He doesn't need to prove anything to anyone else, and I wish that he knows that.
That's it for now! Our HuaLian is getting more and more public, I love them for that. Let's hope Quan Yizhen doesn't adapt their way of sharing spiritual powers, haha!

You get a plot twist, you get a plot twist, EVERYBODY GETS A PLOT TWIST!!
My heart rate was SKYROCKETING for this entire book - would not recommend for those who want to stay in the world of the living. But, bitch, call me ghostie cause I have UNRESOLVED TRAUMA IN THE FORM OF VOLUME 8.
ONWARD, SOLIDERS!

“But look at me-I'm still here, shamelessly going on living.”
can't believe this is it, the story ends with the next volume and I'm definitely not ready.
I don't have much to say about this volume, I think for me it felt a little bit like an extra? like it was the answer we were seeking–knowing what happened to the previous prince, that lost kingdom, even how xie lian's destiny was tried to be shaped. it was a lot of information and I loved it, every aspect of it, it even made me doubt about everything we knew until that point. I don't recall some parts of the book, that's how much of it didn't stood out to me.
I'm gonna say I'm glad that past characters were brought back once again. it was nice to see them and even more surprising knowing how it was also their fate the ones changing and manipulated. (lord wind master my beloved you will be forever cherished)
is it weird that I was even glad to read qi rong? maybe he did have it in him to be not so horrible, doesn't erase everything he did but maybe there he has other impulses when it came to gunzi, knowing they did spend time together, maybe that cracked is infuriating-annoying ass a little bit. (also he made me laugh every time he was on scene gosh he was a fucking idiot a fucking menace)
all that mystery about white no-face and even jun wu got me so surprised! I really had no idea at all about the turn it was about to take. it was difficult to read about the prince of wuyong and how his life mirrored xie lian's, but also such a great contrast and parallel showing once more how xie lian even in his worst time picked himself up and choose once again to be kind, something the prince of wuyong finally didn't. it's not that much about the circumstances but what do we choose to do about it I guess.
shot out to general pei, finally apologizing as he should!
and state preceptor being like a mother-in-law to hua cheng?? made my day.
AND THAT ENDING??? UGH I KNEW I KNEW IT, SOMETHING BAD IT'S ABOUT TO HAPPEN WE DON'T GET ONCE SINGLE MOMENT OF RELAX.

It was all because of one phrase.
The only two moods while reading this volume: lol and ??????????? Mainly because of MXTX's fight scenes. I quickly gave up questioning / trying to figure out how this was happening; I know it's difficult writing about rather than showing a battle. I'm sure it'll be animated just fine if we ever get like season 5 of this show, but I was far less impressed reading about it. MXTX also tends to only show recurring characters doing any work. There is a literal fight for their lives, and among all the gods in this world, I believe only four beings are actually doing something. I have no idea what the hundreds(?) of other gods are doing. Maybe they really don't deserve to be in the heavenly realm ;) To sum this volume up, everything is on fire, and there is some strange battle happening in the skies.
I love HuaLian, but the number of times I sighed because they were flirting instead of focusing on more important matters at hand. Can we wait until we finish off the final boss hahahaha... me also panicking so hard I lose my mind when our main characters are just kinda chilling while everything is going down.
GUESS WHO IS BACK TO SAVE THIS VOLUME FROM BEING A DISAPPOINTMENT? Three stars for the three appearances made by Shi Qingxuan. I almost cried upon his return. And y'all, I get your obsession with Mei Nianqing, I get it. I am here for anyone who accuses Hua Cheng of being an 800 year stalker. This man has been out here trying to save as many people as possible despite losing his powers; please cherish him, protect him, let him play cards to his heart's desire. He is the accepting, but concerned parent we all aspire to be.
Once again, Xie Lian's bamboo hat was specifically mentioned in the beginning, and ceases to appear for the rest of the book :) I think it's hilarious when MXTX remembers this is Xie Lian's thing, but generally forgets to mention it is still with him.

If you would've told me this series would have Voltron levels of mecha bullshittery when i started this series, i wouldnt have believed you. Obligatory 5 stars because its tgcf, though.

This was non-stop action sequences and tea. I approve.

"He was just one person, but to Xie Lian, it felt like the entire world was supporting him"
3.5⭐️ rounded up
So many sweet moments in this volume! And so many important reveals! It packed a punch, yet I had some issues with the pacing again. But the very explosive ending sequence definitely makes up for it. Also shoutout to everyone in this one commenting on HuaLian and to every single of the many times they kissed!
At this point I can't really talk about it without spoilers:
I am now *very* excited to see this to the end. I cannot wait to see more of HuaLian, especially in the extras, and to finally really know everything about this story. It has taken me quite a long time but I'm almost there!

I fucking knew it, that bastard was giving evil gay vibes from the beginning and not the good kind.
The amount of second hand embarrassment in this volume…. Can y’all please flirt not in front of your friends/co workers and especially not in front of his father figure, my god. Also, mecha arc????? And I’m not even mad about it???? That cliff hanger was very expected but I have to wait for my friend to catch up in the series again so it will be haunting me for the next while.
