Cultivation Begins with the Divine Dynasty

In the year 900 of the Divine Era, the old emperor abdicated and the new emperor ascended the throne, renaming the dynasty Changyun. In the second year of Changyun, the new emperor resolved to expand into the wilderness. Long peace had kept the imperial court calm, but now undercurrents began to stir.

Within the Divine Dynasty, officials, aristocratic clans, and powerful families were divided: some were worried, others excited, and many felt differently still. Ordinary people, meanwhile, were left in a state of anxious confusion.

Cults sprang up in remote regions, and banditry ran rampant.

Beyond the Divine Dynasty, every sect turned its attention toward it. Would the old emperor live or die? Could the new emperor succeed in expanding the realm? Each sect had its own opinions, schemes, and preparations.

At that moment, Zhang Qingyi slowly opened his eyes from meditation.
