Legend has it that when the great cultivator Gu Xianlin ascended, he used the magical treasure Golden Crow's Radiance to sever the Ascension Ladder, cutting off the chance for future generations to ascend.
In the three hundred years since, the connection between the cultivation world and Heaven and Earth has grown weaker, while the spiritual energy has become increasingly tainted.
Cultivators can barely advance their cultivation, their magic is suppressed, and their lifespans have dwindled. They have become ever more like ordinary mortals.
With nowhere else to turn, the Six Realms place their hopes in the legendary treasure said to have been left behind in the mortal world: Golden Crow's Radiance.
In the winter of the thirteenth year of Tianji, a frail young girl knocks on the doors of the dilapidated Duanyang Sect.
Theme: A journey of self-discovery.
