Legend of Ascension: The Shrouded Peaks
Ascend the realms of cultivation. Become a legend.
He Yu dreams of becoming a cultivator, but a weak body and spirit has always kept it out of reach. All that changes when a wandering immortal sees the spark of limitless potential lurking within him and recruits him to the prestigious Shrouded Peaks Sect.
As a new outer disciple, He Yu is thrust into a world of conflict and secrets, one that he’s entirely unprepared to navigate. But he’s got one advantage nobody else does—an ancient and dangerous cultivation art. One that will propel him to the heights of cultivation. If he can master it.
But ancient arts bear ancient burdens. Secrets once thought lost and forgotten begin to stir, threatening to draw He Yu into a conflict stretching back a thousand years. A conflict that, when it finally steps out from the shadows, will reshape both heaven and earth.
To master the Cloud Emperor’s Heavenly Palace is to master the power of heaven itself. Only a hero of legend is capable of such a feat, and He Yu will become that hero.
Legend of Ascension: The Dawn Palace
To forge a legend, one has to overcome the impossible.
As an inner disciple, He Yu now has access to advancement resources and training like never before. His rise through the realms of cultivation secures his reputation as a once-in-a-generation talent. But forging his legend will take more than just talent alone.
An expedition deep into the western mountains to uncover the secrets of the Dawn Palace reveals more than He Yu expected. The secret guarded by the sect for a thousand years is far more dangerous than he’d imagined, and his arts bind him ever more closely to that danger. Worse, the mysterious Sunset Court is on the move, both within the sect and without. And their influence reaches further than anyone had imagined.
When ancient secrets and new enemies meet, the result is far beyond what He Yu is prepared to face. He’s never let impossible odds stop him before, and he’s not about to now.
Follow He Yu as he ascends through Golden Core and beyond in the second volume of the cultivation epic, Legend of Ascension.
Legend of Ascension: The Twilight Empire
A hero of legend comes to restore justice to a broken land.
He Yu emerges from seclusion fifteen years after the fall of the Shrouded Peaks Sect, and Jin Xifeng sits upon the imperial throne. With his friends scattered, his mentor missing, and rivals watching over any potential refuge, He Yu finds an empire riven by strife. Now, more than ever, is the time for a hero to rise, but as Jin Xifeng’s grip on the empire tightens her power only grows.
Seeking to gather strength enough to face her and pursued by enemies he’d left in the past, He Yu travels beyond the borders of the empire. So he might seize a chance to grow even further in strength, he ventures deep into the wilds of the Jade Mountains. There he’ll face foes both old and new, and seek the assent of gods and divine beasts alike.
Although He Yu and his companions may be out of Jin Xifeng’s reach, they can’t remain so forever. To return to the empire is to face down the most powerful opponent any of them have ever had to contend with—an ancient expert bolstered by the stolen power of thousands of cultivators. It is said no single expert can defeat Jin Xifeng, but He Yu had done the impossible before. And he’ll do it again if that’s what it takes to seal his legend.
Reader Reviews
“Wonderful MC. I truly enjoy this genre in all its facets but despite how much fun a good isekai can be there is something truly immersing about viewing these worlds from the vantage of a native. This MC truly encapsulates what it means to be able to overcome any and every obstacle with enough effort and determination.”

“What an amazing book! I absolutely loved this book and such wonderful characters! I can not wait for the next book to come out!”

“This story is much more juicy than your run of the mill Xianxia. There is heroism instead of drudgery. There is the realisation of profound truths rather than navel gazing.”

“This story delivers; it is well paced, has fleshed out characters that matters and that are not left in the dust by the MC within a 100 chapters and not mentioned again, and has steady and believable progression of the MC. The MC, while having a seemingly naive goal of being a righteous hero, has a surprising depth and self-awareness to him.”
