My name is Lu Zhiyuan. My grandfather is named Lu Jin, and his nickname is the "Celestial Master in Hemp Robes."
I never went to school. I never even saw my parents after I was born, and I grew up with my grandfather in seclusion at the Celestial Master's Residence on Bilian Mountain.
My grandfather taught me to read and write, as well as some of his techniques for hunting demons and divination...
My grandfather is the sixty-eighth-generation Celestial Master of the residence, one of the Red-Robed Celestial Masters.
On March 30, 2120, spiritual qi revived across all of Xia Country. After absorbing spiritual qi, the corpses that had lain underground for a hundred or even a thousand years neither rotted nor decayed. Every full moon on the fifteenth, ghosts roamed at night, emerging to gorge themselves on yang energy...
The spiritual qi revival caused the Ghost Gates in the eastern, southern, western, and northern regions to open wide. People had no choice but to send out elite professional demon hunters to suppress them and prevent the slaughter of innocents...
This was also what brought my grandfather's profession, demon hunting, back into the public eye after nearly 150 years of obscurity...
For a time, "Celestial Master" became the most respected profession of all!
Me: Grandpa, what's a Heavenly Demon? Are they powerful?
Grandpa: Mm, very powerful! Heavenly Demons are demon kings at the Fourteenth Realm or above. Remember, if you ever run into one, don't think twice. Just run.
Me: Then, Grandpa, what chance would you have against a Heavenly Demon?
Grandpa: Don't worry, I'm guaranteed to die.
Me: Wow, Grandpa, you're so powerful, you must be invincible!
Grandpa: I was talking about myself...
