In the vast unspoiled landscape of East China, humanity has seen the incredible wonders of their world. They have stood witness to the destructive power of nature which can conjure typhoons, storms, earthquakes and floods. Humanity has suffered at the hand of its own man-made catastrophes - war, famine and disease. Death was everywhere and it spared no one.
It is said that these catastrophes could have been avoided with the help of the Nine Gods. Their absence has also led many poor tortured souls to the very doors of the Underworld Palace, Yama.
But the elders who still remember the old ways encouraged humanity to worship the Nine Gods. Men listened and everyone bowed down each to God that could prevent the cataclysms. They prayed and gave offerings.
But men also yearned to be free of Death’s embrace.
They knew that their bodies were weak and frail compared to the unfaltering truth that the spirit which can endure more.
It is believed that evil people die and live again to suffer more. Others who die a wicked death go to Yama to suffer.
Men loved life. Thus he fervently sought immortality.
It is uncertain but many believed that there were steps in order to attain immortality. One must learn and increase one’s intelligence and good virtue. Men must also invest a lifetime of energy and diligently deal with hardship. They must also understand the myriad of human emotions. One must also be aware and understand the good and ill fortunes.
These all lead to the path of true enlightenment which need to be passed down to descendants and the coming generations.
Once a warrior becomes an immortal, it will bring him or her supernatural human strength and wield the elemental powers of Heaven and Earth. Those who have mastered these powers are perceived to have become The Legendary Immortals.
But the Journey to Immortality is difficult and those who stray from the path often get corrupted by the Underworld.
For every age, the quest for immortality brings forth heroes. While the mystery of immortality remains unrevealed, the path is always open.
In the pristine lands of China, there are three lush regions – the majestic mountains, boundless water region and the verdant jungles. These regions are inhabited by all sorts of creatures, both benign and lethal.
The region of the un-civilized Yi people which was captured by Mao Yinxue, is left unexplored as well as the remote and dense valleys of Tibet which no one has seen for ten thousand years.
The vast lands hold treasures that may yield the secrets and clues to immortality. Men and women have journeyed through these uncharted territories, testing their resolve and revealed their true character. They have carved their destinies and legends on the very stones and earth of China.
But ever the pursuit of immortality beckoned to humanity. Gradually, groups formed their own schools based on their beliefs and principles. Through these Schools, humanity prospered and avoided the evils. But their thirst to find the secret of immortality drove them to greater heights.
And here is where we begin the story — The Blue Cloud Gate.
One night in the small quite village of Qingyunshan, a great earthquake erupted and brought down terrible devastation about the inhabitants. Only two managed to survive: Zhang Xiaofan and Lin Jingyu. They were able to escape the horrible catastrophe by climbing the mountains and headed to the Blue Cloud Gate.
There was a reason why these two survived.
Lin Jingyu had a natural talent in martial arts and was highly intelligent. Zhang Xiaofan on the other hand, didn’t display the same skills as Jingyu. In the time that passed, Jingyu became highly regarded in Blue Cloud Gate and the surrounding areas. Zhang secretly fell in love with a female martial artist but did not return his affections and regarded him as a younger brother. In time, Zhang’s true power was revealed during a martial arts competition. He displayed skills and techniques taken from two different warring schools. This led to everyone suspecting Zhang’s true character. But eventually he was defeated by a young female student Lu Xue Qi who secretly admired Zhang for his stubborn and rebellious persona… But the story is not yet finished…
