The Overlord of Puluo

Official Blurb

Li Banfeng isn’t crazy. At least, that’s what the doctor said. The “feng” in his name means “mountain peak,” not “madness.”

To save a friend’s life, he steps onto Platform No. 96 and boards the steam train 1160. This train ride takes him to Puluo Province, a land frozen in the steam-powered era.

In this strange world, he meets a soulmate trapped in an old gramophone, a peerless beauty from a calendar post, a charming socialite swaying within an old tabletop pendulum clock, and an otherworldly master trapped in his own wine gourd.

Here, cultivation takes many strange forms. There are Gourmandism Cultivators who grow fiercer the more they eat, Smoking Cultivators who become stronger with every puff, Martial Cultivators who turn more ruthless with every kill, and Inebriate Cultivators who grow wilder the more they drink. There are also Wanderlust Cultivators who wish to go everywhere, and Homebound Cultivators who wish to go nowhere at all.

Among a hundred sects beneath the sky, who dares to vie for glory?

Among ten thousand cultivators of Puluo, who shall stand as the foremost?

Li Banfeng puts on his suit, tips his fedora, and lifts his feather duster.

With utmost seriousness, he asks, “Tell me. Who is the Overlord of Puluo?”
