In the cosmic void, outside the Evil Sword Realm, one of the Twelve Demonic Realms, within the Spirit Treasure Domain.
Today, stars shone across this void starfield where living beings were extinct and demons ran rampant.
There was Zhuo Peiyu, Sword Holding Hall Master and one of the three great hall masters of the Spirit Treasure Sect—a Tier 7 Sword Cultivator, universally acknowledged as one of the strongest beings in present-day offensive combat. Throughout these years in the real Myriad Worlds, in countless battles where cultivators from all heavens had fought against demons, he had always faced the strongest demons and fought the most uphill battles. He could not even be bothered to enter combat of insufficient intensity. The Demonic Evil Origin staining his sword exceeded even that of Su Qing, who had likewise played nothing but high-stakes games in recent years. His fearsome renown was enough to make ten thousand demons lose both voice and body. During the last demon calamity, even the Demonic Buddha had only dared to act while he was far away in the Ancient Lost Heaven, suppressing a grotto-heaven left behind by an Ancient Mighty Being, with no time to attend to the Myriad Worlds.
There were also Clear Wind and Mingyue, the two Supreme Elders of Five Villages Monastery and two Tier 7 great cultivators. As one of the Major Sects of the Heavens, aside from possessing a Ginseng Fruit Tree whose fruiting rate was far inferior to that of ancient times, and whose fruit quality was likewise far inferior, Five Villages Monastery had maintained its sect status from ancient times to the present without decline. It closely followed the Three Daoist Sects, the Eastern King Sect, and a handful of other sects, while faintly surpassing sects like Taoyuan Sect and Dan Yuan Sect
