Synopsis
Xu Yang emerges after 10,000 years of seclusion to restore his declining sect while uncovering cosmic secrets affecting multiple realms.
Ten thousand years ago, the Tianlan Sect dominated the cultivation world, its disciples all being prodigies, invincible in their path. Only its founding disciple, Xu Yang, remained stuck in the Qi Refining stage. To break through and ascend to immortality, Xu Yang secluded himself for ten thousand years. However, upon emerging, the cultivation world had declined, and the Tianlan Sect had only a few disciples left, facing imminent annihilation. Xu Yang repels powerful enemies, vowing to lead the Tianlan Sect back to its peak! As the Tianlan Sect's power expands, the truth behind Xu Yang's stagnant cultivation is gradually revealed. Over ten thousand years, a hidden secret spanning the human, demon, and immortal realms is unveiled! Could one become a god or a demon in an instant? The fate of the world rested in Xu Yang's hands!
