"This book is fused with magic and wonder and some of the most kick ass, heart-pounding action sequences I've ever read." —Matt Dinniman, New York Times bestselling author of Dungeon Crawler Carl

A farmer's son should never have had a chance at immortality.

Wu Ying's future was simple: tend the fields, care for his family, and live out his days in a quiet village. But when he's conscripted into the army and marched off to war, that future is ripped away.

On the battlefield, a single moment changes everything.

After spotting an ambush that saves countless lives, Wu Ying catches the attention of the Verdant Green Waters sect, one of the empire's powerful cultivation schools. Offered a chance few commoners ever receive, he leaves behind the mortal world he knows and enters a realm of martial arts, spirit beasts, ancient mysteries, and immortals.

But talent alone won't keep him alive.

Surrounded by gifted nobles, rival disciples, and deadly enemies, Wu Ying must fight for every scrap of progress. The path to immortality is paved with hardship, sacrifice, and danger—and one wrong step could cost him everything.

The First Step is the first book in the complete A Thousand Li series, a cultivation epic featuring deep progression, immersive worldbuilding, martial arts mastery, spirit beasts, and a classic underdog rise to power.
