The people of the Jiuzhou Continent revere the path of cultivation. In ancient times, human cultivators overthrew the demon race, which had ruled the continent for hundreds of thousands of years, placing humanity above all other beings.
Afterward, cultivators came to call themselves practitioners. They cultivated magical power within and refined artifacts without, progressing from Qi Refining to Foundation Establishment, False Core, Golden Core... and finally True Immortality. Step by step, they transformed from mortals into immortals. At last, they weathered tribulation and ascended to the Upper Realm, leaving behind legendary tales to guide future generations onto the path of cultivation.
Dongfang Qingyun, the son of a merchant from Huafeng City in Xining Province, dreamed of cultivating immortality from a young age. Though he possessed only a pseudo-spiritual root, he remained steadfast in his resolve to embark on the path of cultivation and venture across the Jiuzhou Continent.
