International politics meets immortal blade
The war-mongering kingdom of Cai has begun to stir once again, the long held peace brought to the brink by a widespread drought. Now, the neighbouring kingdoms of Wei and Shen must ally together to deal with the Cai or see the flames of war spread over both nations once again.
Wu Ying is brought into the negotiations for his reputation and strength, but the former farmer and now Head of the Wandering Gatherers is a fish out of water in these political waters. More and more, he wonders where morality and practicality end as he watches the maneuverings of those in power, all while the hungering maw of the Cai kingdom and its powerful king watch over the squabble.
Between kingdoms and cultivators and the demands of an all consuming dao, can there be a peace that isn’t won at the end of a blade?
A Thousand Li: the Fourth Fall is the eleventh book of the xianxia series, A Thousand Li. It’s the second book of the final arc of Wu Ying’s journey to immortality, the trials and tribulations he faces and the leg of his journey. Tao Wong is the bestselling author of the System Apocalypse, Hidden Wishes and Adventures on Brad series.

Disappointed
I’ve followed the series for a long time, since the first book came out, and I find this book to be one of the worst ones.

Iâve been following this author for some time- over half a decade, by my count. Still, this is definitely one of his better works.5% of the way into the book, the rising action begins- it was somewhat uninteresting? But the promise of more to come kept me reading- and he delivered. Wu Yingâs perception is described with a unique writing style, and itâs frankly just enjoyable to read.The fights are momentous, not too long whilst preserving the interesting bits.Most of the issues with the book are honestly just typos and minor grammatical errors I imagine will be resolved in later releases/editions. Great work, 5 stars.

It’s tricky to just review this one book, being as it is part 11 of 12.If you’re new to the series and have stumbled onto reviews of this book, let me say it’s worth getting here, and we’re only 1 book away from what will be a 5/5 series.This book itself – Tao Wong has somehow kept his world building and power scaling on point throughout, and that may well be my favourite thing. One of the issues of the genre is that power is gained fast, but somehow the world always keeps up – a new land that makes the protagonist who a chapter ago was flattening mountains, suddenly only able to act upon the world like was back to merely cleansing meridians as a novice.Not so here, Wu Ying is one of the movers and shakers now and we get to enjoy it, get to be shown in a way that is possibly the best of the genre, how it feels to be changed and powerful, and what that status means when interacting with those who haven’t reached that height, who never will; but also now able to envision the strength of what lies ahead on the final stretch.The plot fits the world perfectly, allowing us to meet the before mentioned King of Cai with his Dao of Conquering, and in doing has sprinkled throughout the continuation of Wu Ying working out what kind of Immortal he wants to be.It can’t be easy when writing a book like this, number 11 of 12, having to keep so much of what went before relevant, but also setup for the finale. Tao Wong has done so well, to the point where from 60% onwards I couldn’t stop until the book was complete.

Wu has had a long wandering journey towards immortality. One more obligation has landed on his doorstep. International politics. The higher he rises it seems the more entanglements wrap around him. Where is the limit? An interesting mc who never quite loses his foundations as a farmer and gatherer. An enjoyable read. The ending was surprising but the temptation in the epilogue for a secondary character was not. Looking forward to the ending.

As the author said, it is a frustrating end. Donât give me wrong. I absolutely love these books. Very well, written great history and depth. But having a main character that is constantly broken because of self sacrifice over and over and over⦠definitely frustrating. I appreciate that you have a long thought out plan. And I will finish the ride. But yes, it is frustrating.
