The Legend of the Compass

Great Yu climbed Mount Huanglong on Mount Tianyue and obtained the method for controlling the floods. Thus the Xia Dynasty began. The tyrannical Jie of Xia lost the Mandate of Heaven, and the Shang rose. The debauched and wanton Zhou of Shang threw the Three Realms into chaos, drawing the gods into conflict. After Jiang Ziya proclaimed the gods with the Investiture of the Gods, the Three Realms returned to peace and clarity. Yet the Zhou Dynasty still could not escape its fate of ending after five hundred years, and the Han Dynasty that followed met the same fate...

It seems that every three hundred years of peace must be followed by more than a century of chaos. In peaceful times, the land is tranquil, the nation prosperous, the people content, and all live in harmony. In chaotic times, the righteous path vanishes, the demonic path runs rampant, and the people suffer terribly. The source of it all is the bewitching influence of the demonic spirit of Chi You, the Demon Lord.

At the beginning of the Sui Dynasty, with the help of demons such as Wuliangzi, the demonic spirit broke through the Taiji Bagua Formation on Mount Huanglong, escaped the seal of Fuxi's Bagua Treasure Mirror, summoned its followers, and plunged the world into chaos. By the command of Emperor Fuxi, Sima Luo devoted himself to cultivating the Dao, refining his qi, and tempering his mind. After enduring countless trials and repeatedly facing death, he finally received the full support of his beloved and the righteous martial world. Together, they formed the Demon-Slaying Alliance. Leading the Four Spirits, the Eight Directions, the Sixty-Four Heroes, the One Hundred and Twenty-Eight Mountains, and others, he united them to cultivate the Taiji Bagua Formation, establish a barrier, and fight the demons. At the final moment, they restored the treasure mirror, wiped out the demon leaders, and sealed the demonic spirit inside the Bagua compass.

Afterward, Sima Luo founded the school of feng shui and helped Li Shimin ascend the throne. By restoring the feng shui of the realm, he ushered in the prosperous age of the Tang Dynasty.
