What is an Immortal Chivalry novel?

Today's Immortal Chivalry novels are mainly the ascension and cultivation type novels represented by Piaomiao Journey. The main stages of immortal cultivation are the Qi Refining Stage, the Foundation Building Stage, the Node Dan Stage, the Yuan Ying Stage, the God Transformation Stage, and so on (see Forgetfulness's The Legend of Mortal Immortality and Sudden Smile's The Record of Heart Robbery and Wind and Clouds, etc.). It should be noted that the traditional ancient Chinese cultivation culture does not have these things (our Sun Da Sheng Sun Wukong is only a Taiyi loose immortal only, as usual, a stick to beat all the heaven. Zhen Yuanzi is considered a Taiyi Golden Immortal, equal to Rulai and Jade Emperor.)

Wuxia novels are an important type of popular old Chinese novels, mostly featuring chivalrous and righteous men as protagonists, depicting their skills, bravery and rebellious behavior. Wuxia novels have a broad and narrow sense, the broad sense refers to the traditional martial arts warrior prodigal warrior historical martial arts warrior harmonized martial arts classical immortal warrior fantasy cultivation modern cultivation, but from the narrow level of martial arts novels refers to the traditional martial arts warrior prodigal warrior historical martial arts warrior harmonized martial arts these four categories.

Metaphysical fiction is a type of genre fiction, usually with adventure, war as the theme, the era of the background, the world view, etc. are not constrained, can let the author's imagination free to play. It is closely related to science fiction, fantasy, wuxia and other types of novels with a strong fantasy nature. The concept of "Xuanfang" should be based on the imagination of the background of "Xuan". Then the meaning of "Xuan" can be found: 1, the deep and mysterious, far-reaching Tao; 2, the spiritual universe of the essence. Throughout the literary works that we call "metaphysical fiction", "metaphysical" content is indeed "far-flung and unpredictable". A large number of "metaphysical fiction" in the Western magic, astrology, Chinese martial arts and strategy, Japanese characters, plus science fiction, or supernormal capabilities, and more myths, and often Chinese, Indian, Greek mythology coexist. At this point I realized that the word "xuan" is really "xuan".
