The cultivation world was always full of turmoil. Cultivators from every faction fought tooth and nail over heavenly treasures, fame, and titles. Tang Yuyan lived with his father in a small village where nobody cultivated, watching these powerful figures put on one good show after another every day.
One day, a rumor became a sensation, and righteous cultivators and demonic practitioners alike came out in force.
"The ancient Taiji Sect was born of the Heavenly Dao. Its ruins contain a legendary cultivation method. Master it, and your cultivation will skyrocket, and you will ascend before long."
Tang Yuyan: I feel like I've heard a ridiculous treasure rumor like that somewhere before.
"The Taiji Sect has fallen into decline. Only the eight Chosen of the Heavenly Dao bear the burden of protecting all living beings, concealing their identities as they guard the secret hidden in the ruins."
Tang Yuyan: Hm? This story is pretty up to date. The keys have gone from objects to people.
"Find the inheritors of the Eight Trigrams, and you can become the ruler of the cultivation world."
Tang Yuyan: ...Fine. Whatever makes you happy.
He sat back and waited for the show, but instead, a fire came rushing toward him.
The demonic cultivators of the Devil Sect valued countless lives as nothing, all to force one of the eight Chosen of the Heavenly Dao to reveal himself: the inheritor of Kun.
Tang Yuyan: My journey from an invisible nobody in the cultivation world to the Heavenly Dao's favorite child.
With no way back, Tang Yuyan embarked on a journey in which the "favorite child" would take on his "awful relatives."
