Kunyu Mountains and Seas Tribulation

In the world of cultivation that combines strange beasts from the Classics of Mountains and Seas with Taoist philosophy, changes in Kunyu's terrestrial veins (the spiritual hub of the earth) trigger a calamity of heaven and earth. The Yang Faction Immortal Sect, headed by Yuxu Palace, started a life-and-death struggle with the Jiuyou Yin Faction, who was hiding in Guixu and controlling ferocious beasts. Descendants of the bloodline of the Five Elements Divine Beasts - Huang Chengyue, the Lord of Qilin who guards Zhongzhou, and Xuanming (Xiyue), the Holy Maiden of the Nine Nethers, fell into love tribulation in three lives due to the fetters of Kunlun and Tilian in their previous lives. However, in this life, they are at war with each other due to the opposing camps. The Jiuyou Sect used the Source Corrupting Demonic Pestle to eat away at the origin of the Five Elements and instigated civil strife among the five tribes: the Jin Clan's sword tomb was polluted by evil spirits, the Qinglong Jianmu was eroded by the death air, the weak water poured into Beiming, and the Suzaku Karma burned the sky. Huang Chengyue uses the power of breath to protect the common people, but Xiyue struggles between destruction and redemption. When Kunyu's earth line was on the verge of collapse, and Taotie appeared in the world to devour living beings, Huang Chengyue realized that "virtue requires sacrifice" and shattered his unicorn horn to replenish the earth line; Xiyue merged with the will of Guixu and transformed into Xuan Ming, and finally died as a martyr to quell the frenzy of death. In the final battle, the orphans of the four tribes sacrificed their blood to rekindle the five elements. Huang Chengyue reversed the transformation into a demon pestle, but it caused the ruins to collapse. Xuan Ming opened the door to the ruins with his remaining soul and buried Jiuyou. Huang Chengyue broke the soil to seal the abyss, and scattered his own spiritual rain to revive the mountains and rivers. In the world after the tribulation, mortals sang "The Tribulation of Kunyu", and children planted green lotus in front of the Houtu Temple - mountains and seas were reborn, which is a metaphor for the cycle of heaven that "Kunyu carries things, and tribulations ashes and Tao is born". It interprets the love tribulations of Huang Chengyue and Xiyue in three lives: Kunlun and Lotus in the first life (innocence), immortals and demons in the second life facing each other (tear apart), and earth veins in the third life coexisting (transcendence). The ultimate romance of "ruining the world just to be martyred with you".
