Quantum Cultivation

A Xianxia/Cyberpunk Novel

De: Jace Kang

Narrado por: Travis Baldree

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.

really well put together

the shifting perspectives helps build attachment to all the characters, and it's one of the few cultivation books that really delves into the principles of how it works

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!

good story

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

Great novel.

Good character development and work building. I thoroughly enjoyed this title. I can't wait to see more from the author.

Thank you.

Look, I am a huge LITrpg Fam! But thank you for having a real conclusion!

Where is the story?

The book felt more like a primer to ancient Chinese cultivation than a modern novel. The author talked on and on about 5-elements theory, acupuncture, Tai Chi, etc. He hinted at a plot, but never got around to exploring it. I made it 1/2 way through the book before I stopped and chucked it out the window. Bummer.

coolest book you have ever heard

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

This was unique

This was an interesting take on cultivation stories. I think I enjoyed it more than I thought I would and I am curious to see if there are more books in the series, it seems like there could be. The characters were interesting but the story and growth were a bit fast and the sense of time was a bit jarring. Overall I wouldn’t hate more stories like this even if it is a bit different from the normal path.

I was pretty bored with how it started and couldn't get into the book at all.

i had to stop cuz unwashed honestly really bored while listening to it. I hate nkt finishing a book but I just cpuldnt

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.
