As the Tang Dynasty poet Xu Yin wrote in his poem "The Two Jin Dynasties": "Three generations of deep schemes laid the foundation for the imperial dynasty, but pitiful were the widows and orphans. The blame fell on Cheng Ji, a crime that incurred the wrath of Heaven, and the act of offending a wise ruler brought eternal sorrow." The Western Jin Dynasty acquired its rule illegitimately, made too many mistakes, and inherited many of the drawbacks from the Eastern Han and Three Kingdoms periods. By the end of the Jin Dynasty, the problems had become too deep-seated to be reversed, and it was urgent to rebuild the empire's values ​​and ruling system. But history did not give them that opportunity, as the saying goes, "Who knew that those with high noses could know numbers, and they vied to win battle flags in the Central Plains."

The world is vast and boundless, a land of exquisite beauty and spiritual energy. There is the ancient and profound Taoism of the East, and the emerging Xuanmen of the West. The Quanzhen School of the North, the Danding School of the South, the Sword School, and the Zen School all take turns on the stage, creating a magnificent spectacle. However, this world is not only a place of diverse schools of thought, but also a place rife with demonic influence. The Southern School is cunning, the Northern School is ferocious, and there are also countless overseas demons eyeing it covetously. Even among the righteous sects, there are conflicts between Daoist and Xuanxue factions, and the division between North and South, with undercurrents surging beneath the surface.

He only wished to be a resident earth immortal, vowing to forever guard the mortal world and eliminate all harmful pests. As a result, the world was in turmoil and the five continents were shaken. The Way has its masters, and none can rival them.
