The plot of Celestial Bane TV series and novel has changed a lot. For details, please refer to the following introduction: The novel was written by Xiao Ding. It told the story of the protagonist Zhang Xiaofan, who fought fiercely with various demons in the process of becoming a god and finally became a legend. The TV series was directed by Xiao Ding's son, Xiao Jingteng, and the director, Chen Kaige, and was first broadcasted in 2014. In the TV series, there were many changes to the plot of the novel. For example, more characters such as Xiao Ding's relatives and friends, the experts of the Demon Cult, and the disputes between different forces were added to the TV series. In addition, the TV series also adapted many plots from novels, such as Zhang Xiaofan's growth and his relationship with Biyao. Although the TV series was adapted from the Celestial Bane novel, many readers and viewers thought that the quality of the TV series was very high. It successfully restored the classic plot and characters in the novel.
Celestial Bane had already been adapted into a TV series and movie. The TV version of Jade Dynasty was adapted from Xiao Ding's novel and debuted in 2012. It was starred by Chen Kun, Lu Yi, Yuan Quan, and other actors. The TV series was widely praised by the audience and achieved good ratings. The movie version of Celestial Bane was released in 2015 and was directed by Li Shaohong, Liu Dehua, Zhao Liying, and other actors. Although the movie was not as popular as the TV series, some viewers appreciated its visual effects and action scenes.
Celestial Bane 2 and Celestial Bane were not the same author. Celestial Bane was a classic wuxia novel written by Xiao Ding. The Celestial Bane series included Celestial Bane, Celestial Bane II, and Celestial Bane III, which told the story of the protagonist, Zhang Xiaofan, who eventually became a martial arts leader after going through hardships. Other than Xiao Ding himself, other people had also written about the Celestial Bane series, but it was not Xiao Ding himself.

πI recommend the following novels to you. Please note that there is a brief introduction of the plot behind the title of each novel ~ 1. "Dao Man": The protagonist carries the will of all living beings, kills immortals, and travels around the world to seek the path of longevity. Like Celestial Bane, the main character was also a person who constantly pursued power, similar to Zhang Xiaofan in Celestial Bane. 2. The protagonist transmigrated and was reborn as an immortal cultivator, beginning his leisurely path of cultivation. Different from Celestial Bane, this book didn't have many fighting scenes.
