[Journey to the West spin-off] + [Great Tang] + [Powerful figures] + [Eastern fantasy]
Li Xuanxiao, a young man from Blue Star, transmigrates into the Great Tang of Journey to the West and becomes the personal disciple of Yuan Tiangang, the greatest thaumaturge in the empire!
The Water and Land Assembly is about to begin. Gods and Buddhas across the heavens are using mortals as pawns, dark nails from the underworld are secretly piercing the dragon veins, and the Buddhist sect is quietly siphoning away the Great Tang’s national fortune!
With the empire on the brink of collapse, Yuan Tiangang gives his life to complete the game, passing on the secret seal of the Directorate of Astronomy and a full sixty years of cultivation.
“The Heavenly Court wants order, the Buddhist sect wants incense offerings, and mortals are treated like ants?”
Furious, Li Xuanxiao accepts the seal, cultivates the human way and the nation’s fortune, and reorganizes the Directorate of Astronomy’s five divisions. He is determined to fight a path to survival for the people of the Great Tang!
From then on, the Great Tang has a ruthless guardian:
- The Star-Gazing Division hunts demons, the Earth Vein Division sets up formations, and the Demon-Quelling Division draws its blades to cut down immortals!
- He judges the case of the Jing River Dragon King, establishes the Great Tang Rain Register, and forcibly brings the water gods of the realm under Great Tang law!
One day, a thunder god descends with the might of heaven. “You insignificant mortal, how dare you defy the Heavenly Court’s decree?”
Li Xuanxiao’s purple robes billow as he channels the Great Tang’s national fortune into a seal that crushes the thunder and flames filling the sky. “The rain in the Great Tang will fall by the Great Tang’s rules. Whoever dares use the people as pawns in a demonic scheme will pay with their life!”
