Worldbuilding

- Time period: The twelfth year of the Tianqi era of the Great Yin Dynasty, on the eve of the Age of Dharma Decline. The Three Teachings are in decline, while the demons are stirring.

- Setting: The story begins at the Wanbao Pavilion in Qingzhou City. This ancient city of a thousand years stands at the crossroads of Buddhism, Daoism, and Confucianism, and serves as a bridgehead for the demons infiltrating the human world.

- Background: Twenty years ago, the “Chishui Alliance” fell apart, and the Chen Clan was massacred for possessing the secret of uniting the Three Teachings. Now, cracks have appeared in the Nine Cauldrons Barrier that maintains the balance of the human world. The emergence of the Buddhist treasure, the Kashyapa Glazed Lamp, has become the focus of a struggle among all sides.
