“A Thousand Li is one of the best English-language cultivation series out there, written with obvious love for the genre. If you’ve heard about cultivation but don’t know where to begin, this is a great place to start.” —Will Wight, New York Times Best-Selling Author of the Cradle series
Given a chance at immortality, can Wu Ying grasp the fleeting opportunity?
Long Wu Ying never expected to join a Sect or become a real cultivator. His days were spent studying, planting rice on the family farm and spending time with his friends. Fate, however, has different plans for Wu Ying and when the army arrives at his village, he and many other members of the village are conscripted.
Given the opportunity to join the Verdant Green Waters Sect, Wu Ying must decide between his pedestrian, common life and the exciting, blood soaked life of a cultivator.
Join Wu Ying as he takes his first step on his Thousand Li journey to become an immortal cultivator.
The First Step is the first novel in A Thousand Li series, a book on cultivation, immortals, wondrous martial art styles and spirit beasts and will be loved by wuxia and xianxia fans. The First Step is written by Tao Wong, the bestselling scifi and fantasy LitRPG author of the System Apocalypse, Adventures on Brad and the Hidden Wishes.
5* Amazon Review - "I like that the story explains itself as it goes, some cultivation stories just make assumptions that the readers understand their "magic system" and that isn't an issue in this book. I also liked how it sets the tone for the rest of the series. This isn't necessarily an "overpowered" main character, this is a person from the world trying to go further than the people around him.
Go ahead and give it a try! You'll enjoy it." - Cameron C
5* Amazon Review - "Let me just say that I deeply appreciate the protagonist of this story. In creating the character Wu Ying, the author has achieved that sublime balance of the admirable and the relatable. Wu is no Mary Sue. He has no outstanding abilities - no amazing intelligence, no superhuman strength, no riches, and no ridiculously good luck - none of the overpowered special advantages that appear with annoying abundance in the wuxia genre. Wu Ying is also not an idiot (cough, cough, Naruto!). Sorry! I must have taken a stray rasengan to the throat! On the contrary, Wu Ying moves forward through sensible decisions and diligent effort. He's smart enough to recognize the opportunities he encounters, savvy enough to predict some of the accompanying challenges, and brave enough to try anyway. He's a guy trying to do the best he can with what he has, and I admire that. Oh, and his motivation isn't a burning desire for vengeance motivated by a tragic backstory. Nope, he just wants to make life a little better for his parents and survive the unscrupulous scheming of his enemies. Don't we all? I had a lot of fun following Wu Ying's adventures in "A Thousand Li" and look forward to the continuation of this series." - Rain
4* Goodreads review - I found this an excellent book for those who watched movies like Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon or Hero, or even House of Flying Daggers and wanted to enter more completely into that world - Jennifer Linsky
