When heaven and earth unite, all things come into being. When faith exists, gods and demons descend.
Nature follows the Way, and through the passing of countless generations, all are awed by wind, rain, thunder, and lightning.
Mountains, rivers, lakes, and seas twist and turn, leaving all to marvel at nature's wondrous craftsmanship.
From then on, the mortal world knew the power of the Supreme One's influence. Great sects occupied blessed grottoes and sacred lands, established their schools, taught the Dao, and fought against the gods and demons of nature.
Some sought the way to immortality, praying for the Supreme Immortal to touch their heads and guide them into the immortal realm.
Others fell into a hundred lifetimes of tribulation, hoping the emissaries of the Nine Hells would possess them and guide their undying souls.
Thus the jianghu came into being, and the righteous and wicked naturally divided. This story begins with a sect called Lingyun.
