Flying across a Thousand Mountains, Sweeping North and South Like a Rolled-Up Mat, Part One

The foundation that allowed Great Yin's imperial family to suppress the world consisted of five gods.

Or rather, five "Omnipotents" who had mastered all three paths: true arts, the pill path, and the astral body.
