The direct grandson of the Xiong family of the former immortal cultivating family, when he was four years old, his father died together with the elders of the demon clan. He was also cursed and was told that he would not live to be ten years old. His grandfather exhausted all his cultivation to save him, and his mother's spiritual veins were severely damaged. The family collapsed overnight, and its former glory was gone.

After three years of diligent practice, the golden elixir was cast; the curse was temporarily suppressed, and the spiritual roots were awakened.
It happened that the six factions of Daliang Kingdom were fighting endlessly in Cangwu Ridge for a mysterious treasure, and there was an undercurrent behind hundreds of lives. Xiong Yan was ordered by his master to go down the mountain, disguised himself as a middle-stage foundation-building practitioner, and sneaked into the rivers and lakes, conducting overt and covert investigations to pursue the shocking conspiracy behind the treasures that could subvert the entire Eastern Earth world...
