The Immortal Ancient Era, also known as the Cultivation World, is filled with mysterious powers and magical arts. People can master these abilities through cultivation and become mighty cultivators.
Evil forces from the Burial Realm and the Other Realm seek to break the Great Dao laws that constrain the realms and destroy the entire Cultivation World. Thus, one fierce battle after another erupts across the world.
To preserve peace and safety across the living realms, the Five Divine Beasts lead the Divine Emperors and Heavenly Emperors in a fierce battle against the Burial Realm and the Other Realm, resisting their invasion. This war has raged for countless ages, continuing from the Primordial Era into the present Immortal Ancient Era. The fighting in the Desolate Realm still goes on.
Now, the Demon Venerable Black Dragon Mo Jiao from the Primordial Era has arrived in the Immortal Ancient Era. After countless ages, he has become a realm lord. Through divination, he learns that his old enemy from the Primordial Era, Donghua Zifu Shaoyang Dijun, is about to be reborn. He plans to wait for Shaoyang’s return, then make him watch as he leads the Burial Realm and the Other Realm in destroying all the living realms, avenging his father’s death in the Primordial Era.
In this life, Xia Cang is Shaoyang reborn. The Spirit Realm has paid a terrible price to hold back the invasions of the Other Realm and the Burial Realm, and the burden of saving it falls on Xia Cang’s shoulders. He cultivates relentlessly to keep the Spirit Realm from being devoured, overcoming trials along the way and gaining the aid of mysterious treasures and powers as his strength steadily grows. In the end, Xia Cang joins the Five Divine Beasts and many other cultivators to repel the invaders and safeguard peace across the Spirit Realm. He also becomes the strongest being in the world.
