Far to the east of the Bohai Sea lies a vast chasm called Guixu. Within it are five mountains, each home to a sect: Daiyu, Yuanjiao, Fanghu, Yingzhou, and Penglai. Penglai is the strongest overall, followed by Yingzhou, then Yuanjiao and Daiyu, with Fanghu ranked last. However, Fanghu is home to many brilliant healers and master alchemists, so the other sects treat them with considerable respect.
The five sects maintain friendly relations on the surface, but in truth, there is friction between them to varying degrees.
A thousand years ago, a divine being foretold that the five immortal mountains would face a calamity that would destroy the immortal sects. Now the omens are appearing one after another. Penglai is the first to sense the danger, and the other sects soon suffer strange disasters of their own. A demonic dragon emerges, destroying one sect. The crafty demon clan turns traitor, and another sect falls under its control. The five great sects are on the brink of ruin. Each has a divine tree, and if all the trees are destroyed, the sects will cease to exist.
The irreverent second-generation immortal Zhou Lingqing takes up the banner of salvation when his father and brother are in mortal danger. But that damned Dongfang Chong always makes him spew blood five miles away. This young master's forty-meter broadsword is about to come out, you know!
