After completing their journey to the West, Xuanzang and his four disciples return east to the Great Tang. Seeing talented people from the Confucian, Daoist, and Buddhist schools scattered among the common folk, each nurturing, cultivating, and saving the world in their own way, Xuanzang follows the common world's model of three great halls, bringing the three traditions together to establish an altar and halls. He throws the mountain gates wide open, welcoming all talented people to compete, regardless of their origins or status. Thus begins a grand talent selection spanning the Three Realms and connecting the mortal world. The pilgrims of old take their seats at its center, summoning heroes from every direction to vie for supremacy in the three halls and write a new legend in which the Three Realms shine as one.
