Escaped alone from the Mine Prison where he had been living since his adoption, Lin Xun knew nothing about his identity but the little information his adopter, Master Lu, had told him.

Great that this helps!!! There're many more fantasy novels as well as wuxia, xianxia, etc. on the site: novelspread...lol...it's preventing me from posting any link...so i guess you have to type the '3 ws' and the 'com' part.
If this list didn't help you out, maybe you can find something really useful there.

Amazing, thanks! I've just ordered The Grace of Kings by Ken Liu, loved memoirs of a Geisha and am looking to take some inspiration from 'Silkpunk', so I'll be sure to grab some books from this list soon.

Way too much on the wishlist...

The synopsis you gave for Spirit Realm is actually Emperor's Domination. This is the synopsis for SR.

Official Synopsis: Thirty thousand years ago, the Heaven Fighting Race who called themselves “Gods” invaded Spirit Realm. Hundreds of races rose up in resistance, but ultimately suffered a crushing defeat. The human race was the first to concede, and the rest of the Hundred Races soon followed in succession.

During the subsequent ten thousand years, all of the races were enslaved by the Heaven Fighting Race. They were cruelly treated, and lived beneath the shadow of terror.

The Heaven Fighting Race’s march of conquest did not stop there. With Spirit Realm as the starting point, they invaded other secret dimensions, and spread war to all corners of existence. After greatly exhausting their combat strength, they were finally defeated by the Hundred Races who took advantage of this opportunity. With no other choice, they fled to the starry skies outside the realm.

Thirty thousand years later, in an era where the Heaven Fighting Race has already faded to become ancient legend, an amnesiac youth possessing the Heaven Fighting Race’s bloodline is being fostered in an insignificant household. Whilst struggling to live on, he silently awaits the day of the bloodline’s awakening.

Also, I highly recommend I Shall Seal the Heavens. The translation's completed, too, which is awesome.
