In ancient times, Taotie lived by devouring the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, its greed without limit. In the end, the gods joined forces to kill it.
Its soul shattered into forty-nine fragments, which became a clan: the Taoren.
They inherited Taotie’s wisdom and greed, prevailing through cunning and making avarice their way in the world of immortal cultivation.
They founded nations and sects, monopolized spiritual veins, and waged war.
Until the Heavenly Balance Dao Venerable annihilated their entire clan single-handedly.
Ten thousand years later, the remnants of the Taoren souls infiltrate the major sects once more.
They seize power while posing as worthy talents, repeating the past.
The world of immortal cultivation descends into chaos again, while a sect devoted to equality and peace, the Pure Heart Sect, quietly rises.
