In the beginning, heaven and earth were new, chaos had yet to divide, spiritual energy was abundant, and living beings gained wisdom.
Cultivators endured tribulations of thunder and ascended to become immortals, whereupon they established the Heavenly Court.
When a cultivator's physical body burned away, their soul became a ghost, and thus the Underworld was established.
The golden age of cultivation continued without end for countless ages, until the spiritual energy of Earth was exhausted and the era of cultivation came to a complete close.
The immortal path had died, but the heart of the Dao had not. Countless sages of old persevered, finding new paths to practice cultivation.
Transform spiritual energy into mystic power, and thus the Dao was born;
transform spiritual energy into the power of vows, and thus Buddhism was born;
transform spiritual energy into demonic power, and thus demons were born;
transform spiritual energy into ghostly power, and thus spirits were born.
Theme: The world moves too fast. I want to slow down.
