    This story takes place in the Calabash Universe. The Calabash Ancestor, during a period of intense struggle to create new life, brought the Calabash Universe to its halfway point of evolution. With the Four Gates and Five Mirrors, the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, the Five Primordial Elements, and the Five Primordial Cycles complete, it was manipulated by other Dao Ancestors who extracted many Great Daos. These Great Daos were forced to revert to a state of rebirth, making the Calabash Universe's three thousand Great Daos unstable. The Calabash Ancestor was forced to suppress the Calabash Universe, unable to extricate himself. Because the three thousand Great Daos were incomplete, the Earthly Fiend Yin Veins disappeared, and the ancient method of condensing evil and refining qi had no way to advance. Again, the Calabash Ancestor was manipulated by other Dao Ancestors, leading later cultivators to create the Golden Core Great Dao, known as the Contemporary Method, which all cultivators practiced. The Calabash Ancestor sensed that the Contemporary Method had its limits, only allowing cultivation up to the Dao Integration Realm, and could not help stabilize the Calabash Universe, freeing it from the constraints of suppression and allowing it to compete with other Dao Ancestors for the Great Dao opportunities. Therefore, he released three thousand Great Dao seeds into the Calabash Universe. The protagonist, Zhang Fan, is one of these three thousand Great Dao seeds. The protagonist cultivates his way through the ages, finally restoring the ancient inheritance, allowing the Calabash Universe to emerge. This completes the creation of the universe, including eighteen immortals, seventy-two pure yangs, and three thousand great Daos, catalyzing its growth. The Calabash Ancestor is then able to escape and enter the universe to compete with various Dao Ancestors for the opportunities of the Great Dao. (A slight connection: the Xuanming Dao is about this kind of bone-based cultivation, which will appear later.)
