The rising sun, the remnant glow, the long river, the setting sun

In ancient times, the evil qi on the Xuanwu Continent was raging, and the creatures invaded by the evil qi, even human beings, would become monsters with no humanity on the Xuanwu Continent, destroying everywhere, but still having powerful destructive power.

Compared with powerful monsters, weak and helpless humans have neither the claws of a tiger and a lion, nor the ability to soar like a falcon sparrow, nor the sharpness and speed of a cheetah and a cunning rabbit, even if they have the so-called unity and wisdom, in the face of the absolute power of the monster, it is still useless, and they can only surrender to the dark rule of the monster and be powerless.

So, it was a very long and extremely dark period, a long period that lasted for hundreds of thousands of years, perhaps to commemorate that tragic period, which later generations called the Dark Age.

However, human beings are such unwilling creatures to be of other races, although they live in the Dark Age, people are always exploring, seeking, looking forward to finding a way to confront and even defeat the monsters, and end the endless domination of the monsters.

After the unremitting efforts of many generations of human beings, through the exploration of countless martyrs, the people in the dark era finally discovered that the monsters on the Xuanwu Continent are indeed not invincible, not omnipotent, all the monsters are afraid of this plant called wisteria flowers, once they get involved with wisteria flowers, even if they are high-level monsters, they will lose their evil spirit and die completely.

However, this is not enough at all, even if you know the nemesis of the monsters. However, the power of monsters is still above that of humans, and even the lowest-level monsters have no one who can attach wisteria flowers to monsters, so they can't kill those damned monsters. The future of humanity remains dark.

Until one day, a man named Li Er was born, relying on his anti-heaven talent and wisdom, and finally discovered the secret of the monsters' fear of wisteria flowers: they were not afraid of wisteria flowers at all, but another kind of power hidden in wisteria flowers that was equivalent to evil energy, and even completely restrained evil energy, and Li Er named it Pure Yuanqi.

Since then, Li Er has spent his life studying the refining method of pure vitality, hoping that one day human beings can use pure vitality to cultivate, just like monsters absorb evil energy and become stronger and evolve, so that they can fight against monsters. Finally with his talent, Li Er really found a method of refining pure vitality on his sixtieth birthday, and found that there was also an extremely scarce vitality in the air, although it was not as good as pure vitality to restrain monsters, but it could really help people practice, so he became a cultivator, became the first martial artist, and was called the ancestor of martial arts.

Of course, it is impossible for the matter to end here, and the high-level monsters who learned of this matter began to issue a killing order, carrying out a devastating encirclement and suppression of the entire human race, and would rather kill by mistake than let go, and were bound to chase and kill the person who invented the martial arts cultivation method, but unfortunately, Li Er immediately fled to the border of the Xuanwu Continent the day after discovering the cultivation method, and through what he learned, he killed many local monsters, gathered thousands of local humans, and established the first city inhabited by humans, Apocalypse City.

However, at this time, as the initiator, Li Er understood that he was actually going against the sky, and calculated that he had reached the limit, and soon his soul would return to the sky, in order to better protect the Apocalypse City and allow human beings to completely protect themselves, Li Er compiled the research results of his life into two exercise cheats: one is the Yuan Qi cultivation method, called Tian Yuan Gong, and the other is called the Absolute Heaven Gong, which is the method of refining the pure vitality in the wisteria flower. And passed it on to his two proud disciples at that time: Taiqing and Yuanji.

Three years later, Lear died. As for the two disciples, Yuan Ji relied on Tian Yuan Gong to lead more than 100,000 people at that time, and held on to the Apocalypse City for 50 years, blocking countless attacks by the monster army, and even among them, there were several battles of annihilation of the millions of monster armies.

As for Taiqing, in the past fifty years, he thoroughly studied the Absolute Heavenly Skill left by Li Er, and unexpectedly discovered the true secret of the wisteria flower and the pure vitality, not only simplifying the refining method of the pure vitality, but also creating the cultivation method of the pure vitality, perfecting the Absolute Heavenly Skill, and becoming the first person on the Xuanwu Continent who can cultivate the pure vitality, perhaps in order to distinguish himself from the ancestor of Li Er, later generations will call Taiqing the ancestor of Taoism.

It's a pity that in the third year when Taiqing completed the Taoist Absolute Heavenly Gong, Taiqing and Yuanji died one after another, and Guigu Yun, the chief disciple of Taiqing, inherited the Absolute Heavenly Gong, and the four disciples of Yuanji: Xuanjian Lin Kai, Xuanlong Li Yan, Xuanfeng Qi Ming, and Xuanwu Zhong Zheng replaced the position of the master and became the new leader of mankind and the new protector of mankind.

In the second year when the five of them inherited their respective master positions and mantles, after discussion, the five people agreed that after the research of the ancestor and the master for two generations, the actual time for the human race to counterattack had completely come, and under the discussion, they led the millions of human warriors who had already existed at that time, and began a mighty counterattack against the monsters of the Xuanwu Continent, opening the first continent-level war on the Xuanwu Continent, the Great War of Man and Demon.

Maybe it's been suppressed for too long, too long, the human warriors in this war really do everything to treat monsters, they can kill and never let go, and they can never leave all the corpses that can be divided, where humans pass, there are corpses and stumps of monsters everywhere, plus the pure vitality of the ghost valley and other people is absolute restraint on the monsters, and the monsters have no room to fight back at all.

Perhaps frightened by the actions of the human race, several high-level demon lords hurriedly ordered all the remaining hundreds of high-level demons to retreat and flee to a small island in the east of the Xuanwu Continent. This time the war between man and demon, legend has it that it will end completely in just three months.

After the war, the five people gathered again to discuss, in order to completely protect the human race, and no longer hope that there will be a second dark era in the future, after the five people thought about it again and again, Lin Kai sacrificed the demon sword, Li Yan sacrificed the green dragon seal, Qi Ming sacrificed the fire phoenix map, Zhong Zheng sacrificed the Xuanwu talisman, respectively, as their own natal weapons, by the Guigu and the three thousand disciples who sat down to personally shoot, concluded a sealing formation covering the entire Xuanwu Continent, sealed the endless pure vitality on the Xuanwu Continent, and dispersed all the evil qi, in order to prevent the seal loophole, I am afraid that there are still fish in the continent that slip through the net, and even set a prohibition: within the seal, if there is an evil qi emitted from the body, it will make the laws of the territory come, and directly bombarded the source of evil qi to ashes.

Since then, the evil qi that has plagued mankind for tens of thousands of years and plagued the Xuanwu Continent for countless eras has finally completely disappeared from the Xuanwu Continent. In order to commemorate this historic moment, people set the day when the seal was completely formed as the beginning of a new era, because this day is a day when mankind completely ushered in new light and ushered in peace, so the new era is called, the age of purity.

With the passage of time, human beings have multiplied and worked on the continent without the invasion of monsters, not only more and more human beings were born on the Xuanwu Continent and established more human cities, but even under the promotion of the descendants of the four leaders of the year, the four empires of Tianyu, Tianying, Tianyi, and Tianchi were established.

For a long time, the relationship between the four empires has been very delicate, and although there have been agreements of non-aggression and non-interference in each other's internal affairs and sovereignty, for many years the four empires have been in a state of constant war and small wars.

What's more, the four empires are all divided and ruled by feudal lords, and the annexation disputes between the feudal kings are continuous, and the empires are divided and merged, with the continuous passage of time, the power of the feudal kings has soared, and the power between the feudal kings is extremely unbalanced, and even surpassed the power of the imperial emperor's family, how many people have become victims of the struggle between the feudal kings, and the Shen family, which was originally in the Tianyu Empire, is one of them.

I only remember that at that time, the Shen family was still one of the eight major families of the Tianyu Empire, sitting in Tianque City on the border of the Tianyu Empire, resisting the invasion of the three empires from time to time, which can be described as conscientious, but I didn't want to cause trouble from the sky, and news suddenly came from the court, saying that someone recommended the Shen family to collaborate with the enemy and betray the country, and was about to send someone to arrest the Shen family.

It was Shen Xilin, who was the head of the family at that time, who instantly understood some clues, and after thinking about it again and again, he finally decided to flee to the Tianyu Empire with his family and go all the way east before the Jingshi sent someone to arrive.
