This is a vast world of cultivation where everyone pursues immortality and competition has gone completely mad. It is called the Xuanhuang Realm and consists of three planes: the Mortal Realm, the Cultivation Realm, and the Immortal Realm. The Mortal Realm is where ordinary people live, and everyone dreams of entering the Cultivation Realm to defy fate and change their lot. The Cultivation Realm is crowded with sects of every kind, from elite immortal sects to third-rate schools, and they are all caught in a frenzy of cutthroat competition: fighting over spirit veins, snatching pills, comparing cultivation levels, and racing to master techniques. They stop at nothing to advance their cultivation, turning the world upside down and leaving everyone on edge. The Immortal Realm may seem far above it all, but even its officials compete for promotions and accolades, having long since lost the carefree freedom that cultivation was meant to bring.
The logic of cultivation has become entrenched throughout the world: the higher your cultivation, the higher your status, the more successful you are. Swept along by this relentless tide of competition, everyone has forgotten that the original purpose of cultivation was longevity and freedom. Instead, they live exhausted, consumed by resentment.
