Disaster rises from the Nine Netherworlds, and the Three Realms are on the brink of collapse!
Jiang Huai, Emperor of the Nine Netherworlds, resents the Heavenly Court’s laws. In secret, he establishes the Blood Cicada Cult and stirs up chaos, determined to overthrow the order of the Three Realms by his own hand. Demons and fiends run rampant in the mortal world, leaving both immortals and mortals in a state of panic.
At this critical moment, Patriarch Bodhi seeks to protect the laws that govern the Three Realms. Before entering seclusion, he uses the priceless Blood Bodhi beneath his seat to condense a strand of divine consciousness, which descends into the mortal world as Li Xiuyuan. Carrying Bodhi’s wisdom and the mission of vanquishing evil, he sweeps away the demons and heretics wreaking havoc among humanity, while helping ordinary people right the wrongs they have suffered. Amid the bustle of everyday life, he discovers the true meaning of the righteous path.
Along the way, he finds a worthy companion: Liu Suyun, a kind and resolute woman of the mortal world who is actually a disciple of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden. With her sincerity, she stands by him through countless trials. He also gathers powerful allies: Zheng Lun, the Heavenly Court’s Hum General, and Chen Qi, its Ha General, arrive at the first sign of trouble. Together, they use their divine powers to build a barrier protecting the realms. The four travel across the mountains and rivers of the Three Realms, dispelling darkness and driving away demons. Every time they fight, they fight for the people; every battle is fought in defense of justice.
When peace returns to the mortal world and every demon has been vanquished, Li Xiuyuan’s merits are complete, and an imperial decree descends from the Nine Heavens. He sheds his mortal form and ascends once more to the Ninth Heaven, taking charge of the Three Realms. Standing proudly above a sea of clouds, he protects all living beings and keeps heaven and earth bright and clear!
