Chen Jiu, the last Celestial Master, sets out to uncover the truth of his origins. Accompanied by Bai Bing, daughter of the White Emperor, he steps from the turmoil of the late Qing into the upheavals of the Republic of China. With a repertoire of forbidden feng shui arts, he suppresses thousand-year-old spirits and severs the dragon veins of the Nine Provinces, composing a century-spanning ballad of pacifying souls amid a war-torn age.
