Let's talk about the original intention behind starting this book.

【5】 Let's talk about the original intention behind starting this book.

My previous novel, "The Melon-Eating Swordsman," was my most successful work, so many readers wondered why I didn't continue writing Wu Xia.

【6】 The previous book, "Melon-Eating Swordsman," was this author's most successful work, so many readers wonder why the author isn't continuing to write Wu Xia.

The answer is that I did consider it, but I couldn't come up with any good ideas; my passion and foundation were exhausted by "The Melon-Eating Swordsman," and forcing a sequel would make it hard to guarantee quality.

【7】 The answer is that the author did consider it, but couldn't come up with any good ideas; the passion and foundation were all expended on "Melon-Eating Swordsman," and forcing it would make it hard to guarantee quality.

When an author writes a book, they must feel it's good enough to serve on the table, right?

【8】 When an author writes a book, they must at least feel it is good enough to serve, right?

So, Wu Xia is temporarily on hold.

【9】 So Wu Xia is temporarily shelved.

Now, back to the Two Worlds theme; it's actually my specialty. I used to love reading modern cultivation stories and considered an idea long ago: traveling to the cultivation world, becoming a powerhouse, and then returning to the modern world to show off.

【10】 Now back to the Two Worlds; actually, the Two Worlds are this author's old trade. The author used to love reading about modern cultivation and considered an idea long ago: traveling to the cultivation world, becoming a big shot, and then returning to the modern world to show off.

However, before I could even start writing, I saw a book titled "Return from Another World" on the website, which dampened my urge to write; it wasn't until much later, after two flops, that I finally wrote "The Two Worlds Seal."

【11】 But before the author could even start writing, they saw a book called "Return After Transmigration" on the website, which interrupted the urge to write. It wasn't until much later that they started, and after two flops, "The Two Worlds Seal" was born.

Since Wu Xia is on hold, why not write about the Two Worlds again? Plus, I now have new ideas for the Two Worlds theme.

【12】 Since Wu Xia is shelved, why not write about the Two Worlds again? Moreover, the author now has new ideas regarding the Two Worlds.

In recent years, with national development and cultural confidence, everyone has been exploring traditional Chinese styles, bringing local Taoism into the spotlight; moreover, Taoist priests are open-minded, willing to have fun, and don't get angry about it.

【13】 In recent years, with national strength developing and cultural confidence rising, everyone has been digging into traditional national styles, bringing the Bentudao Sect into view. Furthermore, the Daoist Priests have broad minds, are willing to put on shows, and aren't angry about it.

Short video platforms are full of jokes about Taoist priests having fun, such as the "Unlucky True Man," special effects demonstrations, hunting New Year's goods in the back mountain, or using firecrackers as external qi projection.

【14】 There are many Duan Zi on short video platforms about Daoist Priests putting on shows: things like the Unlucky True Person, special effects demonstrations, going to the back mountain to catch New Year goods, or using firecrackers as a display of Qi projection, and so on.

Thus, the author decided to write a story about a modern Taoist priest traveling to another world to exorcise demons and eliminate evil.

【15】 So the author decided to write a story about taking a modern Daoist Priest to another world to subdue demons and eliminate monsters.

Coincidentally, this aligns with the "Seeing Intangible Cultural Heritage" writing contest; the author wondered if combining China's intangible cultural heritage with Taoist magic would make it even more fun.

【16】 And it just so happened to coincide with the "Seeing Intangible Cultural Heritage" essay contest. The author wondered if combining our country's intangible cultural heritage with Daoist arts would be more fun.

And so, we have Daoist Master Daoist Yan Song, who loves watching short dramas and can change his face during fights; more interesting Taoist priests will appear later, and I hope you all enjoy them.

【17】 Thus came Daoist Yan Song, who loves watching short dramas on ordinary days and can change his face when fighting. More interesting Daoists will appear later; I hope everyone likes them.

Brother Su Ye's "Sword Out of the Great Tang"; I followed his previous book, "Sword Out of Hengshan," from start to finish. The Wu Xia flavor in every word almost spills off the screen, making it extremely enjoyable to read. His new book enters the Great Tang Dual Dragons world, and I'm very much looking forward to it.
