In a land shrouded in mystical aura, where the very air tingles with the power of cultivation, a lone figure walks down a desolate road. Li Wuji, a hunter from the small town of Blue Carp County, finds himself lost in the vast wilderness of the Qianlong Province. He has been on a journey for weeks, driven by a burning desire for revenge against those who wrongfully imprisoned him in the dreaded Black Temple. As he wanders aimlessly, Li Wuji is drawn into a world of intrigue and danger. He soon discovers that his freedom is short-lived as the Six Sects, the most powerful and feared groups of cultivators on the continent, have set their sights on him. They are after a priceless treasure that he possesses, and will stop at nothing to get it. In his quest for revenge, Li Wuji journeys through the most treacherous places in the land. From the Sunken City, where the souls of the lost haunt the murky waters, to the Twilight Plains, where the shadows come alive and dance in the moonlight. He braves the Shadowy Forest, where the trees whisper secrets and the creatures lurking within are more than mere beasts. He crosses the vast expanse of the Pearl Lake, where the tranquil surface hides a deep and ancient magic. Along the way, Li Wuji encounters fierce creatures like Golden Lion and the Emerald Dragon, and mystic beings like the Moon Bear and the Shadow Lynx. He also meets other sects, some of which offer their aid, while others seek to hinder his progress. As he travels, Li Wuji's story will be whispered among the cultivators and ordinary folk alike. His name evokes a either sense of praise or disgust, for he is the hunter who dared to challenge the Six Sects
