On the vast and boundless Spirit Domain Continent, spiritual energy is the source of all things, governing every life and every form of power. The continent is dotted with countless sects, clans, and mysterious ruins. The law of the strong ruling over the weak is deeply ingrained: mighty cultivators can move mountains, fill seas, and shatter the heavens, while the weak struggle to survive at the bottom.
Five great super-sects stand on the continent: the Star Pavilion, Spirit Sword Sect, Myriad Medicine Valley, Heavenly Derivation Hall, and Netherworld Sect. Each commands its own methods of cultivating spiritual energy and powerful magical treasures. They check and balance one another, maintaining peace on the surface. Yet beneath that calm, undercurrents run deep. The various factions are locked in an ongoing struggle, both open and covert, for resources, territory, and cultivation manuals.
