Tomato had mentioned before writing "Jiudingji" that he had thought about this book for a very long time, and had wanted to write it several years ago.
Actually I remember that at the first starting point author annual meeting, I told other authors that I really wanted to write a martial arts novel!
When I was a kid, I grew up watching Jin Yong and Wo Long Sheng. As soon as I saw various martial arts TV dramas, I would get extremely excited and shout "Watching TV dramas is all about the martial arts scenes!" I still remember Anhui TVs weekend broadcasts, which were really enjoyable to watch. The influence of martial arts on our generation born in the 80s was truly immense. Later, I started watching anime and fantasy novels.
The influence of fantasy is indeed great.
But tomatoes discovered a sadness - starting with martial arts is equivalent to hitting the street, and hitting grandmas house!
Although Tomato finished writing "Cun Mang" and wanted to write martial arts, he didnt dare to write... At the starting point, writing martial arts was not comfortable. But Tomato had a dream in his heart, which was to write a martial arts novel, not only to write it but also to make it popular!
After experiencing the two books "Star Change" and "Panlong", which add up to over six million words, Tomato asked himself if his writing ability had improved a bit, and then began to make up his mind to write a martial arts novel!
Martial arts!
Tomato knows that many people, when they see the books category is martial arts, might directly click X and close the webpage. So I started thinking, how can I write to attract readers? How can a martial arts novel become popular too?
Why arent Jin Yong and Gu Longs classic martial arts novels popular online anymore?
Ive been thinking about it. If we categorize "The Book and the Sword" and "Flying Fox of Snowy Mountain" as Low Martial World, "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" as Mid Martial World, and "The Storm Riders" and "Twin Heroes" as High Martial World. Its clear that the High Martial World is more appealing to readers of our current era.
Actually, for "The Storm Riders", Fan Qiang has always been very confused.
The world will wait, but how many people are there in total? What is the basis for unifying the world? Moreover, "Feng Yun" also has an official government. The distribution of power between the official government and the sects, imperial power and sectarian rights is not understood by Tomato. Therefore, regarding "Feng Yun", Tomato always feels a bit confused.
Naturally
In Tomatos mind, a world was imagined. A world controlled by various sects and martial artists formed the army! Tens of thousands of internal energy martial artists formed the army, what an exciting thing to look forward to? And so... The Nine Tripod World in Tomatos mind had roughly taken shape.
However, Jiǔ Dǐng Shìjiè still seems a bit thin.
Because of the influence of some divine beasts such as Huo Qilin in "The Legend of Qin", tomatoes have added a demon beast to make the entire world more rich and colorful.
……
Thus, the world of Jiuding was roughly formed.
"The Legend of the Double Dragons" also has a great influence on tomatoes, but Ive always been puzzled... In "The Legend", what exactly is meant by breaking through the void? Is it relying on absolute martial power? If they can break through the void, then why cant high-level masters who are slightly below that level even split a small mountain?
In short—
For the shattered void, Tomatoes always felt too vague.
So, Tomato carefully thought about the cultivation level in Jiuding World.
From the Taoist refining essence into energy refining energy into spirit refining spirit back to emptiness refining emptiness into harmony with the Way, and further breaking down the void, it can be divided into post-heavenly, pre-heavenly, strong void, and strongest.
The strongest is to break through the world of Jiuzhou, which is also "broken void".
While the virtual realm is a transitional period in the "Breaking Empty Space" and the pre-heavenly strong, Tomato thinks... to break empty space, one must first recognize empty space, step by step deeply understand. This is "entering emptiness". After that, even if you completely penetrate the entire world, this is called "penetrating emptiness", waiting for penetrating emptiness afterwards.
Reach the ultimate! Heaven and earth are no longer a secret in front of him, and he can break through the void!
……
The day after tomorrow, before heaven, virtual realm, strongest (shattered void). This is what the tomato thinks.
"The Nine Cauldrons" is named as such because it actually wants to tell the story of a martial arts world with nine cauldrons! It tells the stories of heroes and chivalrous men, of sword lights and shadows in this world. Thats why it has such a name.
……
After much deliberation... Finally, "The Nine Cauldrons" is out!
To avoid the ending of "martial arts" being panned.
Apart from the setting of the "High Martial" world and the setting of the "Yao Beast", Tomato also designed a plotline that involves "crossing over". This allows the main character to cross over from modern society into the "Nine Cauldrons" world, giving readers a stronger sense of immersion. It lets everyone gradually get to know this land called Jiuzhou, which has the legend of the Nine Cauldrons!
Everything is about painting a dream world of martial arts in ones heart!
A completely sectarian rule of heaven, with warriors forming an army.
Here, there are countless young people full of dreams, and many talented warriors with strong willpower. There are numerous heroes and geniuses, even those who can communicate with spirits, and terrifying demons that possess wisdom no less than humans. Here, the sword energy pierces the sky, and the knife energy tears through the earth. With a single war knife in hand, one can roam and fight for thousands of miles, killing a person within ten steps without leaving any trace!
This is the world of Jiu Ding!
This is Kyushu!
Tomatoes are just about telling a similar world, so its called "The Nine Tripod Records".
……
Starting point, but anything martial arts will pounce, so tomato, set "The Nine Cauldrons" in the Eastern Fantasy category.
Tomato just wants to achieve one thing——
Even if its martial arts, I want all readers to enjoy reading!
"Jiǔ Dǐng Jì" started updating on July 28 and will be launched in September. On the first day, subscriptions exceeded 10,000 within 24 hours, and now the highest subscription in 24 hours is over 17,700, close to 18,000! I believe that before it ends, there can still be further improvement! The highest subscription, I believe that after completion, reaching 40,000 will not be a problem.
This is a martial arts novel!
The space is much smaller than Xian Xia and Western Fantasy. But this achievement has already made Tomato very excited.
24-hour subscription is nearly 18,000.
Income is secondary, after all, Tomatos "Nine Cauldrons" had already signed a major contract before it was written. However, this subscription has made Tomato very excited... This shows that martial arts may not be a flop!
Martial arts, subscription can also be high!
Martial Arts, also has more than 200,000 readers collecting!
Martial arts, still ranked first on pirated websites!
……
"Jiǔ Dǐng Jì", according to the outline, there are nine Ding and twelve chapters. Now ten chapters have been written! Only two more chapters left, it is estimated that "Jiǔ Dǐng Jì" will be completed at the end of April!
Nine Tripods Twelve Chapters, The Last Two Chapters.
Originally, I finished writing the last chapter of the tenth article yesterday. Tomato said that we wouldnt rest tomorrow and would continue writing. However, at that time, Tomato immediately revised it again and deleted that sentence.
Tomato is going to take a rest today.
Nothing else, just want to make this martial arts novel that Tomatoes has always dreamed of, think it through carefully and end it with a perfect ending.
Martial Arts
Tomato is very excited, at the starting point, martial arts are booming again!
Take a good rest today.
Starting from tomorrow, I will begin writing the last two chapters of "Jiuding Ji". After completing this martial arts novel, Tomato will likely take a relatively long break. There have been rumors circulating online that Tomato will retire after finishing "Jiuding Ji", and Id like to publicly say - this is impossible!
There are still many books I want to write in the Tomato Plan. I just want to rest for a while. Its too tiring, and during this period of time, Ive been enduring the pain in my finger joints while typing. According to the doctor, tendonitis requires finger rest and cant have repetitive finger movements. However, how can tomatoes take a break? Let me finish writing "The Nine Tripod Cauldron" first before resting.
Yes.
Here is the translation: Heads up ——
The Eleventh Chapter is called "Twenty Years of Turbulence".
