In an age of peace, with lights shining in every home, people are content with the stability of the present.
But has anyone ever wondered who secretly stands guard to preserve this tranquil life?

Everyone dreams of becoming a disciple of the Eight Mountain Lords and gaining the power to protect the world. But reaching the heavens is hard, and joining their sect is harder. Nothing about it comes easily.
Beneath the mask of a golden age, demonic calamities surge in the shadows. The game has begun.
The Eight Mountain Lords hold the world in check, and the soldiers of Zhenjing
