The Overlord of Puluo Novel

Li Banfeng, a young man with an unconventional mind, boards steam train 1160 from Platform No. 96 to save his best friend, He Jiaqing. He arrives in Puluo Province, a steam-powered realm resembling early 20th-century China, where things are not what they seem. Possessing a coveted item, Li Banfeng finds himself hunted and must escape. Puluo teems with diverse cultivators, including Wanderlust, Homebound, Agrarian, Hedonism, and Gourmandism types, some exhibiting extraordinary abilities like growing extra heads or transforming into creatures. Strange practices, such as attaching hooks to skulls for telephones, are commonplace, and Li Banfeng questions if his unique perspective allows him to adhere to the land's Jianghu rules. As he navigates this peculiar world, mysteries surrounding his arrival, his friend's role, and the fate of someone comatose back home surface. He also encounters enigmatic entities, including a voice in a gramophone and other peculiarities. The narrative explores whether Li Banfeng can achieve longevity through his colliding cultivation paths or succumb to Puluo's madness, ultimately questioning his own sanity.
