There are nine major realms, from Foundation Establishment to Tribulation Transcendence, and each realm has nine stages. The special “Innate Dao Embryo” constitution grants direct insight into the Heavenly Dao, but requires the awakening of a Chaos Spirit Root. The “Heavenly Dao Rift,” left behind by the ancient war between immortals and demons, brings a world-ending tribulation every three thousand years. The righteous and demonic factions have been locked in a thousand-year struggle over the Heaven-Replenishing Stone.
Awakening from humble beginnings: While gathering herbs, Lu Zhao, a young man from Qingshi Town, is caught in a lightning tribulation and unexpectedly awakens a Chaos Spirit Root. A mysterious bronze cauldron appears in his sea of consciousness, setting him on a path of tangled love and hate with the Demon Venerable and Fenghuang Ling'er.
