Master of the Azure Heavens

In the thirty-five thousand eight hundredth year of the Great Wilderness Calendar, the Emperor died while touring the southwest. Heaven and earth underwent a cataclysmic change: blood rained down, heroes rose up, demons and monsters ran rampant, and the common people were driven from their homes. Three days later, the nation-guarding divine artifact vanished with the shadow of a dragon, leaving no trace. Many years passed, yet the realm remained unsettled. Deep in the mountains of the Great Wilderness's southwestern lands, among ancient green trees, strange peaks, and perilous valleys, stood the famed Chongdao Academy of Xizhou. The eastern and western pavilions, devoted to the literary and martial arts, faced each other across nine-story towers. The words “Heaven's Chosen” were carved into a stone platform where a contest was held once every hundred years to select the realm's greatest talents. A thousand li south of Chongdao Academy, four young men knelt before their master's new grave, grief mingling with resolve. Bearing his last wishes, they set out on a perilous path of cultivation toward the academy. Along the way, dangerous rapids, waterfalls, and wondrous beasts and sights tested their strength and wisdom at every turn. The path of cultivation was arduous. To enter the Qi Perception stage, mortals had to first undergo “Organ Assimilation” and “Spirit Gathering,” then commune with the divine, using their thoughts to take form and control the world around them. Though the four youths had yet to leave the mortal realm, they had already glimpsed the gateway to the world and taken their first steps on the path to the Dao. Their destinies began here.
