Zhong Kui

In ancient times, the three realms coexisted, with humans, immortals, and monsters each living in their own domains. The order was guarded by the Lingyun clan, an ancient divine beast. The Lingyun clan used the "Evil-Suppressing Jade Gui" as a token to maintain the balance of the spiritual energy in the three realms and suppress the ancient ferocious beast Taotie that was sealed in the "Secret Realm of Youxu". Thousands of years ago, the Lingyun clan was plotted by a traitor. The evil-suppressing Jade Gui was broken into five pieces and scattered throughout the three realms. The seal of the secret realm of Youxu was gradually loosened, and Taotie's vicious energy leaked out, causing frequent disasters in the world. The aura of the immortal world was disordered, and monsters were rampant. A crisis related to the survival of the three realms was quietly brewing. During the Kaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty, Zhong Kui, a monk from a poor family at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain, had a common mind since he was a child. He had the rare "yin and yang eyes" and could see the evil spirits and ghosts in both the yin and yang worlds. However, due to his special physique, his cultivation progress was slow and he never broke through to the foundation-building realm. He was regarded as an "abnormal" by the immortal world. Zhong Kui was an upright man. Although he came from a humble background, he always adhered to the right path. He went down the mountain every day to ward off demons and protect his neighbors. Even though he was ostracized and despised by the cultivating sect, he never wavered in his original intention. In fact, there is the bloodline of the Lingyun clan hidden in his body. Thousands of years ago, the Lingyun clan injected a ray of spiritual power into the human body in order to continue the bloodline. Zhong Kui is the only descendant of this lineage, but the bloodline has not yet awakened, and the power of the Lingyun is sealed deep in the body.
