Heaven Official's Blessing (The Comic), Volume 5

When past and present collide... The official manhua (webcomic) adaptation of the New York Times bestselling danmei novel by Mo Xiang Tong Xiu. Featuring stunning art by STARember, the webcomic produced by BILIBILI COMICS is now available in English print for the first time.

The infamous Banyue State Preceptor has been captured and, unexpectedly, she recognizes Xie Lian and calls him “General Hua.” As the truth of Xie Lian’s past in the Kingdom of Banyue comes to light, he realizes that it wasn’t the Preceptor who lured him and his companions here. Worse, she can’t control the scorpion-snakes anymore—they heed someone else’s commands.

Meanwhile, Xie Lian is reeling from San Lang’s transformation in the Sinner’s Pit. The easygoing youth is a being of incredible power—and one without a heartbeat. Instead of being unnerved or suspicious, Xie Lian finds himself reluctant to push San Lang away, despite the heavens-shattering name he now suspects belongs to the red-clad young man.

Volume 5 includes episodes 50–60 of the original webcomic based on the webnovel Tian Guan Ci Fu published on JJWXC.

Standard and Primary covers are widely available through general retailers. They often have higher print runs and can be cheaper, especially during sales.

In contrast, Direct Market (DM) and variant covers are primarily sold in comic shops. DM editions tend to have more limited availability and may be more valuable to collectors.

The main differences lie in artwork style, availability, price, and collector appeal. Ultimately, the choice between standard and variant covers depends on personal preference, budget, and individual collecting goals.
