Ten thousand years ago, in the distant past, there was the Ten Thousand Demon Burial Valley, a widely known death valley. It is said that this is the place where the Ancient Demon Sovereign is sealed.
Looking from a distance, the valley is shrouded in a layer of ominous black mist, as if even the sky has been tainted with a layer of gloom. This forms a stark contrast with the lush greenery of the forest and the flowing streams outside.
Inside the valley is desolate, devoid of any vitality. Not even the hardiest plants can grow in this lifeless land.
Without the nourishment of rivers, only bare rock cliffs stand, as if it were nature's The Forgotten Land, emitting a chilling atmosphere.
On the far side of this legendary land, an old man is sitting on another mountain, slowly telling this ancient story to a young servant boy who is leading a cow.
"Do you know, young servant boy, it is said that the Ancient Demon Sovereign is sealed here. He was the terrifying being who once led the demon world's countless armies, seeking to conquer the three realms." The old man's voice is deep and heavy, as if each word carries a thousand years of history.
The young servant raised his head, his eyes filled with curiosity: "Uncle, how was he finally subdued?"
The old man took a deep breath, his eyes shimmering with the light of the past: "In the end, it was a rare collaboration of deities from the immortal realm, cultivators from the spiritual realm, and creatures from the demon realm. They used all their power, even sacrificing two-thirds of their people, to finally shatter the body of this demon lord into pieces, gouge out his eyes, sever his limbs, extract his heart, decapitate him, and seal the remaining parts in the abyss. His soul was sealed in the Ten Thousand Demon Burial Valley. All this was done out of deep fear that he might rely on his immense power to be reborn and descend upon the world once again."
The young servant's eyes flashed with a hint of fear: "I wonder what it's like inside the Ten Thousand Demon Burial Valley?"
The old man looked into the distance, his voice carrying a hint of solemnity: "The Ten Thousand Demon Burial Valley, since the war between gods and demons, has become a desolate land, shrouded in demonic energy and shrouded in darkness year-round. But it is precisely because of this that it has become a place for many to pursue their cultivator in cultivation."
The topic changed, and the old man mentioned another historical event: "It is said that after the great war in the immortal realm, there was extensive damage. Many people died in that war, leaving behind many corpses, which led to the rampant spread of monsters. The five remaining gods in the immortal realm couldn't bear to see the suffering of the human world, so they descended to create The Five Great Sects to recruit humans as disciples, guiding them to become cultivators. They each came to exterminate thousands of monsters."
The young servant listened intently and couldn't help but ask, "Do these sects really exist?"
The old man nodded, with a hint of awe in his eyes: "Yes, they have always existed, passed down through generations, protecting the peace of the world.
Then, his tone became serious: "But you should know, these sects practice not just simple Taoist skills, but true immortal techniques. Therefore, wanting to join these five major sects is quite a challenge. Unless one is exceptionally talented, it's difficult to even become a disciple, let alone witness the grandeur of sect or have the chance to join in this lifetime..."
Kingdom of Chu, an ancient and mysterious kingdom hidden amidst rolling clouds and continuous mountain ranges. The peaks here wind like dragon spines, shrouded in mist, resembling a flowing ink painting.
The people of the Kingdom of Chu live peaceful lives, and this land holds ancient power and secrets. In such a legendary place, the birth of Princess Chu Yun is like the beginning of a prophecy. She was born into one of the most noble families in the Kingdom of Chu, the Chu family.
On the night of Chu Yun's birth, her mother dreamt of nine Golden Dragons surrounding the sky, with Chu Yun descending to earth under their protection. This dream caused a great stir at the time, as according to the ancient prophecy of the family, it meant that an extraordinary descendant would be born into the family.
Chu Yun showed extraordinary talent from an early age. When she was four years old, she stumbled upon an ancient, tattered manual in the family's old library. Despite the faded cover, Chu Yun could sense a faint glow emanating from it.
"Mother, this book is so strange, it seems to be speaking to me," Chu Yun carefully caressed the cover of the secret book, her eyes shining with curiosity and excitement.
Chu Yun's mother smiled at her, her eyes filled with surprise and joy. "Yun, this book is the treasured heirloom of our House of Chu. It is said that our ancestors once went up the mountain to worship the immortal and became his disciples. He left only this book behind and then left without a trace. Only those truly destined to the immortal arts can sense its presence. The fact that you can discover it means you have an extraordinary connection with it."
Chu Yun listened to her mother and became even more curious. She carefully opened the secret manual, and suddenly, the blank pages were filled with text, detailing various mysterious spells and cultivation methods. Her eyes lit up with a sense of exploration.
At that moment, a small lightning ball leaped out of the book, darting around in the air, moving so fast that it was impossible to keep track of, and eventually began circling around Chu Yun.
Chu Yun exclaimed, "Father, Mother, there's a thunderball ghost!"
But the Emperor and Empress responded with confusion, "Where is there a thunderball ghost? Yun, what are you talking about?"
Just as Chu Yun's parents were still in doubt, the small thunderball suddenly stopped its wild dance and floated slowly in front of Chu Yun. The thunderball gradually transformed, ultimately turning into a small and adorable thunder fox.
The fur of this thunder fox was as dazzling as lightning, with each hair seemingly containing the power of thunder and flashing with a brilliant light. Its eyes sparkled with intelligence and cleverness, as if it could see through all the secrets of the world. The thunder fox's figure was petite and exquisite, with a short and fluffy tail, exuding a hint of playfulness. When it stood quietly in front of Chu Yun, it seemed as if the whole world fell silent, leaving only its shimmering thunder light.
It looked at Chu Yun and said in a gentle and mysterious voice, "Did you awaken me?"
Chu Yun's parents looked around but seemed unable to see the presence of the Thunder Fox.
Chu Yun couldn't take her eyes off this marvelous creature, feeling an innate sense of closeness to it.
"Father, mother, can't you see it?" Chu Yun asked in amazement, pointing at the thunder fox in front of her.
"Can't you see anything, Yun'er?" the father asked in confusion, his eyes filled with puzzlement.
"It's just the three of us here, there are no thunderballs or thunder foxes as you mentioned," the queen gently added.
The Thunder Fox leaped lightly onto Chu Yun's shoulder and whispered softly, "Only those with the potential for cultivating immortality can see me. I am the Guardian Spirit Beast of this manual. Since my master's passing, I have been sealed within this book, waiting for a person with immortal potential for a hundred years. Your appearance has brought the text of this book back to life, thus awakening me."
