I transmigrated into a chaotic era, where demons ran rampant, powerful clans were like ghosts, and human lives were worth less than grass.
From the start, Zhou Yi took over a run-down Taoist temple and became its impoverished eighteenth-generation Great Sage and Virtuous Master.
His master ran off, and Zhou Yi had planned to head down the mountain and find a way to make a living.
But in this man-eating world, even a fake Taoist priest couldn't catch a break.
If that's how it is...
I'll slay evil spirits and seize their cultivation!
With thunder in my palm to sweep away demons, and the Pure Heaven Divine Incantation to open the Yellow Springs!
The imperial court sees him as a rebel, the great clans call him a demon Taoist, and the false gods in the heavens want him dead.
Zhou Yi gathers his Taoist robes and grips his sword as he descends the mountain:
"You've all sat high above the world for far too long. It's time for the world of mortals to find a new way to live."
The Azure Heaven is dead; the Yellow Heaven shall rise.
With this sword, I shall bring peace to all living beings!
P.S. After watching the Black Myth: Zhong Kui gameplay trailer, I wanted to write a story with a similar setting.
Family, please read this.
