The Overlord of Puluo

Li Banfeng, a young man whose mind operates uniquely, embarks on a perilous journey to save his best friend He Jiaqing's life. He boards the steam train 1160 from Platform No. 96, arriving in Puluo Province, a realm resembling 1900s China but powered by steam and filled with deception. In this strange land, Li Banfeng finds himself in possession of a coveted item, making him a target for hunters. Puluo is populated by diverse cultivators, including those who grow extra heads or transform into creatures, and others who use skull-hook telephones. Li Banfeng must navigate the enigmatic Jianghu rules, questioning if someone with his distinct way of thinking can truly adhere to them. As he delves deeper into this peculiar, steam-powered world, he confronts mysteries surrounding his arrival, his friend's role, the comatose state of someone back home, a voice from a gramophone, and the ultimate question of his own sanity. His journey culminates in a collision of cultivation paths, where longevity or madness awaits.
