Quantum Cultivation

A Xianxia/Cyberpunk Novel

De: Jace Kang

Narrado por: Travis Baldree

Duración: 10 h y 25 m

Resumen del Editor

A cultivation system based on Daoist five elements and eight trigram theories, written by an acupuncturist/wing chun sifu.

Like all Purebred with their menial jobs, Ken ekes out a living sweeping the floors of Kyoto Peacekeeping Central. His kind serves as a benchmark for XHumans to measure how far they've progressed and a reminder of what Homo sapiens once was.

His life changes when 800-year-old Ryu crosses over from the World of Rivers and Lakes, looking for a lost temple; and Aya, a beautiful hacker whose Sensory Interface perceives the EtherCloud as Feudal Japan, learns that XHumans aren't as perfect as they thought.

They've edited out the genes that allow for Cultivation.

That will give Ken a chance to surpass them.

And maybe use mythical martial skills to save the world from an oppressive government, spirit beasts, and alien invaders.

Contains mature themes.

good story

nice to see a cultivation story that's not 10 books long. I like the concept love cyberpunk and cultivation

Worth it!

I give this a 9/10

If this would have been longer it would have been a 10/10!
Great book! Good mix of technology and cultivation!

coolest book you have ever heard

seriously..... blended si fi and cultivation perfectly. such a visual masterpiece Jace does it flawlessly!

Uh, really unprepared for chi rejuvenation technic

First time introduction to author Jace Kang and found his writing quite good. The MC's backstory is well-defined and making an interesting one to follow. There are others who are handicapped or held back in their society and who the MC finds promise in their latent cultivation abilities. As such, he decides to allow them to join him on his quest and train them in the hidden art of cultivation. Then, there is an almost anime quality introduced where the extremely-advanced society is suddenly attacked and murdered by of all things, yokai, seeking to absorb their victims essence. The story and protagonists progresses in a somewhat cultivation-expectant manner until something completely left-field occurs, immediately advancing the novel from a YA genre to adult material!

Still, the story as a whole is still entertaining and I intend to continue with the series, not least of which is due to Travis Baldree supurb narration performance.

Good story will there be a spin off?

Let's give Travis a round of applause for this masterful performance. He definitely contributed positively to the story.
Storywise this is definitely a pg 13 and up book. Overall I was incredibly invested in the well being of the 3 primary characters (there is another that isn't really one but close). The Xanxia, sci fi(little fantasy), and cultivation novel is ridiculously good and not as complex as you would think. The pacing is good, plot points well thought out and resolution nice. Character development was funny at times. I definitely got a few laugh in the early start of the book.
This book is one of the few that I've read recently that had absolutely great sex scenes that make sense to the story and isn't forced or awkward. In fact it's straightforward and bold as brass. Lower ratings must be virgins and yes even as a gay man the story was arousing.

Can't recommend this enough.
5 stars across the board.

An awesome cultivation novel

I liked the story. It reminded me of Street Cultivation by Sarah Lin and ALSO narrated by the great Travis Baldree! Imagine that!! But instead of mixing cultivation and advanced technology it was cultivation brought to the land of advanced technology and how it dealt with it. Yes yes there were a few sex scenes involved but not excessively like some harem/lit novel. It fit perfectly with the flow of the storyline. The story could end where the author left it but I truly hope the author will continue. Plenty of loose ends to make more action packed Xianxia stories, plus I'd like to see how Ken and Aya progress.

A different take on cultivation

awesome book. different from the other cultivation books but in a good way. Fast paced, great narrator, but my only complaint is that this seems to be a standalone book instead of a series at this point.

Awesome

This was a great book, not just a cultivation story but also Engages us to ponder the future of humanity and what role transhumanism will play in humanities future, downfall and survival. Machine vs. spirit.

a light and fun story.

It's definitely worth the credit. sometimes it's nice to listen to a book and have it actually end not go on for 15 books.

Good Book

I like the idea of the systems in this book. It reads like there should be at least a second book and not just a stand alone. There is a few sex scene in there if that bothers you. It didn’t add or take away from the story. The mixture of technology and magic was done well and could go far if the author ends up exploring it.
