The anime and manga industry is thriving throughout the world. Now even, other countries have started to make their own manga. In South Korea, these are called Manhwas and in China, Manhuas. It’s pretty important to differentiate between these two. Don’t get confused, lol. Well! I used to get a lot.
Table of Contents
Now, Cultivation Manhua. Wait! You don’t know about cultivation manhuas? I’ll tell you a bit about them. Cultivation Manhuas basically revolve around the ultimate goal of becoming the strongest by gaining skills and fighting strong foes. The end result in most of them is the MC becoming some immortal OP God.
Still! There are differences, like the addition of some other genres like romance, isekai, etc. This makes them even more interesting. I’m pretty sure Isekai genre lovers would surely love them. So, let’s take a look at some top cultivation Manhuas. These Manhuas are rated according to my personal likings, of course. So, just enjoy the list.

| Status | Ongoing |
| Release | 2017 |
| Chapters | 190 |
Manhua Storyline:
The Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation or Mo Dao Zu Shi is actually a novel adapted into a donghua—which is of course, one of the best things to ever happen because duh? Who doesn’t want to see pretty boys animated? Doesn’t matter if it’s BL, what matters is we have something to feast our eyes on .
I guess “being too good at something, and rising in power because of it, will always seem like a threat to someone” is a universal truth. In the case of this donghua, Wei Wuxian became the target of that stigma. Despite of his contributions and efforts to help, he was still murdered. Welp, of course his practice of using necromancy was a factor too.
However, he came back after thirteen years. Not exactly as himself but well… as him… but in another’s body. And don’t get the wrong idea that he forced to possess it, but rather, he was summoned by the owner of it, Mo Xuanyu.
Mo Xuanyu has always been maltreated, hence, he conducted a ritual. Since he had nothing else to offer, he offered his own body to Wuxian in exchange for the revenge against his family who never treated him right. It’s not the kind of body offering you’re thinking you dirty minded weebos, as I’ve said in the previous paragraph, Wuxian used his body as a vessel—he possessed him… with consent HAHA. And so, Wuxian’s adventure begins… with a different face and body this time tho… and with a mission because that’s the main reason of him being summoned… and some side missions too. Ah! You’ll get what I mean if you watch it.

Yess! This Manhua is about Bai Xiaochun, a pretty ordinary and mischievous boy. He has some really weird habits, like stealing chickens, planting bamboo shoots, and others. And one important thing, he is always getting struck by lightning. Lmao!
