September 21, 2016, on Mount Kunlun.
Painted pavilions and jade palaces gleam in the sunlight.
A graceful immortal with an otherworldly bearing and an elegant, handsome figure stands there, free of worldly dust.
Beside him, eight golden characters shimmer: "Kunlun Immortal Academy: A Thousand Years of Tradition"
[This is an advertisement for the academy's admissions.]
Kunlun Immortal Academy, descended from the Tianshuin Sect of a thousand years ago, still stands tall on Mount Kunlun, brimming with immortal energy and vitality.
In the twenty-first century, in a human world where atheism reigns, 182 chosen children set out on a mysterious and fantastical journey.
Flying on swords, immortal arts and spells, rare treasures and strange beasts: a vast new world.
A poem once described this place, hidden among the clouds and mist of the high mountains.
"Five peaks rise upon Kunlun's veins,
Though paths are steep, immortals dwell there.
Who has ever seen the road to heaven,
To roam the Three Realms, ageless and free?"
And this story begins here.
