The struggle for creation's blessings flows on. Buddhist cultivators seek wisdom, while Daoist cultivators pursue immortality. Since time immemorial, their purpose has never changed. Sincere seekers find aid from the enlightened; immortals rise and the Dao takes form. The cycle of cause and effect follows an unchanging law. As the Great Dao declines, immortals will descend to save the doomed world. Heaven and earth will be turned upside down in a cataclysm that shakes the skies. The immortals and Buddhas will fade like flowers, while the Heavenly Dao forges demons. Thus begins the legend of the Seven Stones and a generation's extraordinary hero. A man must strive to be strong, for there is always someone stronger still.
