A primordial calamity shattered the world's spiritual veins in ancient times, plunging the cultivation world into an era of spiritual decline. As the major sects scheme and fight openly and in secret over dwindling spiritual energy, a rift in the void deep within the Qingyun Mountains quietly widens. The legendary Innate Dao Body appears, heralding the coming of another calamity and bringing with it the chance to usher in a new era.
