[Cultivation] [Ensemble Cast]
Dongzhou, Hexi Sect: an absolute bastion of righteousness, and a behemoth among sects.
Xixin Academy brings together a group of eccentrics bent on driving technological change in the Cultivation world. At first, Gen Pu feels deeply frustrated there, but every failure seems destined to lead to some kind of success.
Xiqi Academy is always trying to modify the many spiritual artifacts in their Qiankun Bags so ordinary people can use them. Then Li Yue'er arrives, the greatest genius in the history of artifact crafting. As a key member of the team, she brings the people an affordable Qiankun Bag, and...
Everyone at Xishui Academy is as detached as water. Yu Yulin cares so much about Gen Pu that she snatches her away from Xixin Academy. But after Yu Yulin breaks through to the Form-Manifestation stage, she vanishes from Dongzhou. Where did she go?
The Grand Elder of Hexi Sect is the greatest person under heaven, yet the Intercontinental Lock binds him firmly to Dongzhou. When he discovers the cruelty and conspiracy of the Soul Sect in southern Nanzhou, he still cannot set foot in Nanzhou.
So, at the Grand Elder's command, Hexi Sect's greatest genius Chen Yulou, Gen Pu with her Mundane Green Lotus Sword Intent, Li Yue'er with her Overlord Gale Intent, Jia Muming, a cultivator with Wind and Wood affinities, and Ma Diande, whose family has protected the souls of living beings as they are born for generations, form a team and enter southern Nanzhou, territory held by the Soul Sect since ancient times.
There, they learn that
The Soul Sect feeds on the emotions of living beings: joy, pain, sorrow, and fear. Its four branches each control one of these. They turn people into soul slaves, extracting happiness to create ecstasy and squeezing out suffering to feed their power. All of Nanzhou has become a living hell.
They decide to turn the skies of southern Nanzhou upside down!
Note: Things are complicated, and the blurb can't explain it all. You'll have to read and find out what "they" are cultivating.
