The Chronicle of Dao Cultivation

Ten thousand years ago, the Three Sovereigns of antiquity joined forces to establish the Great Seal of All Spirits' Return to the Underworld. Since then, mortals have had no hope of ascending, and immortals from the Upper Realm have been unable to descend to the mortal world.

Why was this done?

The nine realms of cultivation are: Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, and Golden Core, which make one a Qi Practitioner; Nascent Soul, Deification, and Void Refinement, which make one a Cultivator; and Body Integration, Great Ascension, and Tribulation Crossing, which make one a True Adept.

After the Qin and Han dynasties, only True Adepts remained. By the Tang and Song dynasties, True Adepts had vanished, leaving Cultivators as the highest rank. From the Yuan and Ming dynasties to the present, only Qi Practitioners remain in the human world.

In 3000 BC, the Five Emperors left behind a prophecy: five thousand years later, the seal would break, and tens of thousands of immortals would descend.

By a twist of fate, the owner of a small inn enters the world of cultivation and obtains a mysterious cultivation art. A fox spirit stays by his side, helping him cleanse his marrow.

A jade pendant brings to light a ten-thousand-year-old secret of the cultivation world...

Is this the will of Heaven, or a scheme?
