A Thousand Li follows Long Wu Ying from a simple village background through his journey to master cultivation and martial arts. The series draws heavily on Chinese xianxia traditions, featuring sect politics, treasure hunting, and systematic advancement through cultivation realms. Each book chronicles Wu Ying’s growth as he faces increasingly powerful opponents and uncovers deeper mysteries of the cultivation world.
The series emphasizes traditional cultivation elements including spirit stones, martial techniques, and the social hierarchy of the cultivation world. Wong balances action-packed fights with quieter moments of training and reflection. The 24-book series represents one of the longest English-language cultivation fantasies, allowing for deep worldbuilding and character development as Wu Ying progresses from novice to master.
