Origins

The Primordial World was opened by Pangu; after his transformation, his body became its constituent creation. Pangu’s heart became Pangu Hall, while Mount Buzhou formed from his spine and supports heaven and earth. 1 3

Twelve strands of Pangu’s natal essence blood combined with World-Opening Turbid Qi to produce the Twelve Ancestral Witches. Their inherited Pangu bloodline grants them an exceptional affinity with Mount Buzhou and its pressure. 1 3

Environment and Natural Laws

The world is a perilous primordial wilderness in which powerful cultivators, innate spiritual roots, Spirit Treasures, and destructive natural forces coexist. Weakness is treated as a fatal condition, while possession of resources is generally decided through strength. 1 45

• World-Opening Turbid Qi and Earthly Killing Intent — Temper the physical body but contaminate the soul origin, preventing the ordinary Ancestral Witch bloodline from producing Primordial Spirits. 1
• Innate spiritual qi — Pure spiritual energy used for cultivation; the Creation Jade Disk can refine turbid qi and Killing Intent into this form. 1 2
• Tribulation Aura — A calamity-born influence that clouds heavenly secrets, magnifies greed and killing intent, and drives cultivators toward irrational slaughter. 4 5
• Demonic Qi — A more dangerous corruptive force associated with Luo Hou. It feeds upon resentment and dead souls, damages Primordial Spirits, and can turn living beings into death-defying servants. 15 16
• Fortune — Spiritual and political providence generated through reverence, protection, teaching, and the flourishing of living beings. It can improve comprehension of Laws and accelerate cultivation. 14 16 36
• Merit — A reward bestowed by Heaven’s Way for stabilizing major worldly disasters, such as the crises at Undying Volcano, the Eastern Sea sea eye, and Qilin Cliff. 28 30 31

History

Era of the Three Clans

The Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Clans fought for hegemony and Heaven-and-Earth fortune, turning much of the Primordial World into a battlefield. Their war devastated mountains, waters, and ordinary living beings while worsening their collective karmic burden. 3 5

The deaths of prominent clan elders at the hands of the Ancestral Witches intensified the conflict. Origin Phoenix, Ancestral Dragon, and Primordial Qilin each blamed their rivals, escalating the struggle into total war. 11 12

The three clan leaders ultimately used the final western battle to expose and eliminate demonic servants hidden within their forces. The resulting slaughter nevertheless devastated all sides and weakened the former overlords. 18

Withdrawal of the Ancient Clans

After the conflict with Luo Hou, the three clan leaders accepted responsibility for their clans’ karmic debts and withdrew from worldly hegemony. Ancestral Dragon imprisoned himself within the Eastern Sea sea eye, Origin Phoenix continued suppressing Undying Volcano, and Primordial Qilin bound himself to Qilin Cliff and the earth veins. 21 28 30

Their decline ended the three clans’ dominance and opened the way for new powers to compete for influence across the Primordial World. 21 33

Dao-Demon War

Luo Hou exploited the world’s bloodshed, resentment, Killing Intent, and Demonic Qi to complete the Sword Formation of Immortal Execution beneath Mount Sumeru. 12 18 22

Hongjun gathered ancient powers to oppose Luo Hou in the Dao-Demon War, presenting the conflict as a campaign on behalf of Heaven’s Way. The war damaged the Western Continent and destabilized its earth veins. 22 30

Rise of Mount Buzhou

The Twelve Ancestral Witches reject hegemony built upon bloodline armies and conquest. Instead, they shelter displaced beings, teach cultivation, and establish Mount Buzhou as a refuge and Dao-transmission center. 13 14 33

The protected population grows from millions to tens of millions, then draws attendees in the tens of billions when Mount Buzhou’s sermons become open to all sincere seekers. Their gathered fortune manifests as a massive Fortune Golden Dragon. 14 36

Dijiang establishes laws forbidding fighting, oppression of the weak, and the presence of gravely karmic or malicious individuals inside the formation. The resulting Dao Protector Army and Dao Transmission Pavilion transform Mount Buzhou into an organized sacred land. 36

Inhabitants and Powers

• Twelve Ancestral Witches — Pangu’s descendants and the leaders of Mount Buzhou. Unlike their expected fate, all develop Primordial Spirits and Law Dao Fruits through Dijiang’s intervention. 1 2 22

• Qilin Clan — Beastkind’s former ruling power. Its survival depends on stabilizing the damaged earth veins beneath Qilin Cliff. 30 31
• Rogue Cultivators and refugees — Displaced beings gathered by the Ancestral Witches during and after the three-clan war. Those with sound character may receive shelter, teachings, and cultivation opportunities at Mount Buzhou. 13 14 16
