After the Calamity of the Investiture of the Gods, the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation was broken and the Jie School was destroyed. Only Xuan Jun escaped into the Nine Netherworlds with the Hongmeng Pearl. Tempering his body with ten thousand years of resentment and baleful energy, he eventually became a Heavenly Venerable.
The Jade Emperor summoned him in secret and appointed him the Heavenly Venerable Who Subdues Evil, putting him in charge of the Evil-Suppressing Office. Officially, he was to hunt down demons; in truth, he was allowed to gather the surviving members of his sect.
As Western Buddhism used the pilgrimage for scriptures to devour the fortune of the East, and old enemies from the Chan School sought to wipe out every last remnant, the “Jie Way Reborn System” within Xuan Jun suddenly awakened.
“Ding! Western Buddhist sect detected plundering fortune. Mission: reclaim the westernmost branch altar. Reward: a remnant soul of the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation!”
“Ding! Sun Wukong is causing havoc in Heaven. Mission: protect him and expose Patriarch Subhuti’s true identity!”
He was Tongtian Jiaozhu’s foremost disciple, the standard-bearer of the Jie School’s survivors, and the leader of Heaven’s three most rebellious troublemakers.
The Wudang Holy Mother held the fort for him, the Golden Hoop Immortal obeyed his commands, and even the stone monkey who wreaked havoc in Heaven became a blade in his hand.
“The Buddhas of the West?” Xuan Jun held aloft the Evil-Suppressing Sword, fused with the remnant soul of the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation, and pointed it at Spirit Mountain. “Back then, you joined forces with the Chan School to destroy my Jie School. Today, you’ll repay the blood debt of the countless immortals slain at Biyou Palace with your own fortune!”
The truth behind the Jade Emperor’s indulgence of the stone monkey, the secret of Duobao Daoist’s infiltration of the West, the contingency plan Tongtian Jiaozhu left behind... As Xuan Jun advanced step by step, one earth-shattering secret after another, long buried across the Three Realms, came to light.
Watch as the Jie School’s dying embers blaze anew. In the name of “all things can attain the Dao,” he will shatter Western supremacy and restore the Daoist order of the Three Realms!
