This is IET's latest work. It's closer to a wuxia story than a xianxia story like his previous works. Archean Eon Art tells a tale of human unity (so there won't be cliche arrogant young masters or family jealousy being the main plot points like other books). As a result, many of the side characters also grow with our main character in recurring appearances to push this narrative of a cohesive front. Side characters die due to the demon intrusions, and the sacrifices of these heroes leave an impact on our main character, Meng Chuan. Meng Chuan cultivates hard, but he has a guilty pleasure that he enjoys from a young age—drawing. It's a habit his deceased mother had imbued in him. Whenever Meng Chuan is impacted by the happenings around him, he takes in the feelings and processes them before drawing them out as artworks. And this serves to make him stronger. In this world invaded by demons, IET shows us what sacrifice and honor is. IET manages to make you feel for the dead even if they appeared just a paragraph or two ago. He invokes the feelings that we as humans will have when facing a common enemy. He immerses us in heart-pumping action that he has honed for more than a decade. It's definitely a solid, thoughtful, well-written story that you should read.

You tricked me, I’m heartbroken by your tricks...I read and waited for ppl to die to get these sad feeling for the dead only to find it outrageously boring, I’m dropping this novel already after the great pain you sent me through... ;(

I’ve looked it up, maybe twice but I forget every time so I’ll do it again for a third time. So basically Wuxia is martial arts while Xianxia is the immortality. Wuxia is about finding the limits of the human body while Xianxia is more fantasy, magical, and all that jazz.

I see, ty. Its probably one of those things that makes a lot more sense in the original language/culture since the two still seem pretty similar to me lol D: I see where the diff is though so ty

xianxia is the path to becoming an immortal. wuxia is more grounded world with supernatural powers, but nothing ridiculous like becoming true gods.

Thanks for the well made synopsis. Well, id expect the MC's wife would be in a precarious situation in this novel again. That's very Tomato like. IET = Quality so I have high hopes for this novel.

Read at your own risk It's just another cliche cancel marriage arrangement that another clan proposed anyways when the Mc's family becomes 'weak'

Basically this is another subpar version of World's Best Martial Artist. We already have Dawn of Era, Kung fu Beyond the World and some others that are on this IET's novel level. I love this human unity genre tho

Are you sure this is Wuxia? It's already showing Xiaxia elements though isn't it? World entrances, prolonged life spans, Heavenly tribulations, Powers that already exceed the Wuxia level? (Godfiends)

I didn't read the LNMTL version, but even there it's a Xiaxia with how many realms have been introduced..
