A million years ago, innate Dao bodies had blossomed like a hundred flowers, and heroes had risen on every side, some joining forces against their enemies, others fighting alone. The Kunlun Immortal Realm of that era had been mired in chaos, with battles that never ceased.

The one who had finally emerged above the rest was the Five Sacred Mountains Immortal King, a previously unknown figure who had gone on to overpower every rival. The Immortal Race had united beneath a single banner, but its vitality had already been gravely depleted.
