Years ago, during the war between immortals and demons, the combined forces of the various sects could not kill the Demon King. Immortal Lord Jun Yue sacrificed himself to destroy the demon. No one had expected that although the Demon King’s body perished, a sliver of his soul escaped. When eighteen-year-old Jun Yu heard that his father had fallen and the demon remnants were still on the run, he broke through to a new realm, becoming the youngest Immortal Lord, and wiped out every last demon who remained.
Cheng, an elder of the Celestial Secrets Pavilion, divined that the Demon King’s surviving soul had taken up residence in an infant, a being of pure goodness. He ordered Jun Yu to go and destroy it. When the baby saw Jun Yu, it smiled instead of crying. Looking into those clear, bright eyes, Jun Yu hesitated for a moment…
Many years later, peace had returned to the world. Tianyan Sect held a recruitment ceremony to gather talented disciples. Su Qingluo, an unfavored princess of Donglin, heard that Tianyan Sect’s recruitment was held once every five years and that anyone with the right aptitude had a chance to join. She went to Tianyan Sect with her royal sister, Su Xiuning, to take the trials. By sheer luck, she was accepted as a disciple by Venerable Jun Yu, who had never taken on a student before, and began her path to immortality.
New disciples at the third stage of Foundation Establishment should not have been sent down the mountain to gain experience. But strange things seemed to be happening in the mortal world, and they had no choice but to conceal their identities and investigate in secret… They uncovered a hidden secret: some demons had been missed, and were wreaking havoc in the mortal world.
