About this listen

The final step on a Thousand Li journey.

The half-Immortal tyrant of Cai has been defeated, but at a devastating cost. Wu Ying has sacrificed both his chance at immortality and his greatest treasure. Now, gravely injured and with his cultivation path shattered, he has to rebuild with the help of his friends.

To find his true destiny, Wu Ying must question everything he once knew, retracing his journey from the beginning. But this time, he does so with a broken body and shattered cultivation, racing against time before his injuries claim him.

The Fourth Wall marks the epic conclusion of A Thousand Li, a 12-book xianxia progression fantasy series.

Book 12 of the A Thousand Li series. Well, the series is over. Did it have a good ending? Yes. Did it satisfy everything? No. In 12 books, you come to like many characters besides the MC, so having an ending to one but many others left untold, is well, greedy of me the reader. I wanted to see what was left behind. Did they survive? Get revenge? Reach their goal? A fantastic series that has kept me hungry for more. Thank you Tao Wong. DRmz 7-6-25

I like how the author stayed true to their character all the way til the end, even if that end is bittersweet. I thought it seemed a waste to leave so many things unsolved: the demonic cultivators, the thief blessed by the Heavens, repaying the platinum sages, just lots of things he still needs to do. I guess it's lucky the author is continuing the adventures in a new series!!

Bittersweet, like most endings.

I have listened with joy, tears, and honestly love to this entire series. I have held most of my reviews back through most of it going "what next my friend?" and with this last installation of the middle realm series I am both overjoyed and saddened as with all farewells. But as with most journeys this is not the end and I look forward to the next series and more from our good friend Tao!

A perfect start to a new journey

I’m happy with how they Tao Wong ended this series. I’m even happier that the story will continue in another. This is the only cultivator series that I’ve lost myself in the story and the actual getting stronger part felt organic and not forced.

I also very enjoyed the philosophy that was weaved throughout the series as it really opened my mind to different ways of thinking and looking at the world. I’ve loved every book and am ecstatic that this world and the stories within will continue.

Good ending to an amazing series

I'm giving this 4 stars out of respect for the overall series. I think having a new upcoming series following the MC has lead to unfortunate choices in how to end his time in the middle kingdom. This felt rushed and honestly a bit hollow for an ending to what has been a very well written series.

Unlike others, I quite like the philosophical introspection in these books. However, that being essentially the primary focus of the finale was not the note I was hoping to end on. Combined with -- 1. seeing no aftermath of the massive conflict from the last book, 2. No meetings with old characters apart from his best friend / like three lines with his sister and 3. having him broken and defeated for the entirety of this book -- I felt a little cheated after watching him grow so much.

I don't mind the trope of nerfing the protagonist, and it did make some sense in context here with having to adapt his path. But I think this would have made a much better 2nd to last book, with the finale being Wu Ying repaying debts, setting up his family and saying goodbye before ascending.

I'll likely give the next series a try, more in the hope the start might provide some actual closure than out of any real excitement.

Great series, good story, bad choice for a final book.

A great ending to this series, I was a little worried after the last book but I feel this was a good ending for Wu Ying I just wish he got to say goodbye to his friends or at least we get to hear about them learning of his ascension

I love this series

loved it! even if I was heartbroken while reading knowing that this was the final book in the series. There's a sequal series so read without fear.

Its not the end, end

Long series like these always have a point where the MC gets too overpowered for the world created so far, so they loose either all their powers or access to their powers...

more of the same but not much happening in this book. mostly internal work on power systems and introspective thought about everything and anything...

if you like how Tao Wong walks into philosophy through self recrimination, then 90%+ of the book is for you

scheduled nerfing...or planned obsolescence kind of like an iPhone

This was an aggressively bad ending. I am not going to pick up any new books from this author in the future. It ends here. G*y

Really bad

As always, Travis Baldree has performed well.

Unfortunately, that is the only good thing I can say about the book.

I'll save others the pain of sitting through it:

Cultivator Long says goodbye to all of his friends. Then spends some time in self contemplation, while being tortured. This leads to enlightenment and immortality. The End.

The epilog promise another 12 books of this same story line.

Should have been a single chapter at the end of book 11
