Description
XU LING'S REBELLION: One thousand years ago, a man started a rebellion against the mighty Tyrant of the Nine Heavens, Lord Tian. That man was called Xu Ling, and would become known as the "Evil Saint" in the future. After more than two centuries of struggle, Xu Ling together with his massive armies of humans, monsters and beasts finally lay siege upon the Nine Heavens of Tian... only to fall in battle at the hands of the Tyrant. With the death of Xu Ling, the rebellion halts and the massive army stops its advance, with most of them dispersing throughout the many worlds underneath the Nine Heavens, and only few choosing to keep fighting from the shadows. CULTIVATION AND IMMORTALITY: Mortal, Ageless and Immortal; the three big "Realms" of cultivation, further divided into a total of fifteen stages. Magical and mysterious, cultivation is the only way mortals, bound to their lifespan, can change their destiny, live forever, and achieve ultimate power! MAGICAL BEINGS AND WORLDS: Spiritual Beasts, world-defying treasures and earth-shaking legacies, secret tombs and hidden dungeons, fearsome individuals at the peak of cultivation... in lands where all that and more are all but commonplace, shocking events of an unprecedented scale are about to shock the world! A THOUSAND YEARS LATER: One thousand years after the death of the Evil Saint, in a small village under attack by a group of bandits, a young child laying on the ground suddenly opens his eyes... and proceeds to slaughter the attackers single-handedly. Six months later, the same boy steps on the grounds of the esteemed Cultivators Sect; the Mysterious Light-Shadow Sect, where countless cultivators gather to share and practice cultivation methods... And it is exactly in this cultivator's Sect, with the arrival of the youth, that our tale commences... the tale of Cheng Hao, wielder of the Immortal Ascension Tower!
