An ensemble cast of young heroes, with the fate of their country and the world at stake.
Yue Fusheng was the reincarnation of the Celestial Maiden of Destiny, and her true form was an ice-blue phoenix. Born of heaven and earth, she had spent tens of thousands of years cultivating. Because she had yet to undergo her tribulation, she had earned only the title of Immortal Venerable, despite already being the sovereign of the Fengyu Clan in Xuanyuan, a land in the immortal realm. Thanks to the Mingluan Flute in her hands, she was known as the Mingluan Immortal Venerable.
Why had she yet to undergo her tribulation? Yue Fusheng had asked the Divine Lord who governed the three realms of gods, immortals, and the underworld. He had only replied, “The time has not yet come.”
In the year 8744 of the Tianqi Era, the Lotus-Step Dharma Venerable of the divine realm, who stood above the myriad gods, immortals, and spirits, joined the Heavenly Emperor and Empress in discussing the matter with the Silent Radiance Dharma Venerable, who governed the immortal realm. Together, they arranged for Yue Fusheng to face all three heavenly tribulations at once: the Heart-Slaying Tribulation, the Life-and-Death Tribulation, and the Mortal World Tribulation.
After a series of twists and turns, Yue Fusheng became a disciple of the Wangchen Pavilion in the human realm. When her master told her, “From beginning to end, the Wangchen Pavilion has had only two duties. First, protect the artifact guardians. If a guardian dies, the artifact will appear and the formation will activate. The Emperor of the Teng Snake Clan will then be reborn, plunging the Six Realms into chaos. Second, gather those who bear elemental spiritual power and send them into the world to awaken their binding seals. This is to prepare for the power that will destroy the world when Emperor Li wakes,” she began her journey into the mortal world.
The struggle for divine artifacts plunged the world into chaos. They fought their way through every obstacle, killing Buddhas and gods alike if they stood in their path.
She was both bloodthirsty and undergoing her tribulations. After gaining supreme divine power, she ascended to godhood as a Divine Venerable, the first woman ever recorded as such in the Six Realms. Her power held sway over all, and she could command every living being, with none daring to disobey.
As the saying goes, “Mingluan soars ten thousand feet into the rivers and seas. All worldly lives return to the unfathomable abyss. As long as the phoenix feathers endure, a High God is hard to come by. Thus, the will of heaven cannot be trusted.”
