Xuanmen was constructed by the fisherman with the Fallen Immortal Lake as its center, it was split into four halls and eight temples. The four halls had four late-stage Nascent Soul level venerated elders guarding it. These four people were disciple brothers from Qing XuZi's generation. In the world, they were also considered peak-level seniors. The divine sword intent was the secret technique the Xuanmen Sect Leader would only pass onto the next successor and what these four people controlled was precisely this centuries-old inheritance.

Outside of the four halls are the eight temples which are managed by the newest generation of Nascent Soul stage elders. Although the status was incomparable to the four halls, these elders were still young and had the chance to reach the Calamity Crossing Stage. Every building here was located on top of a spiritual vein and built to resonate with each other to form an array that covered the entire sect. As long as the eight temples weren't destroyed, no one below an immortal could enter the Xuanmen Righteous Sect, if the four halls still stood, then no one could break even a tile of the eight temples. As for the crux of the four hall's array, it was the fishing rod that hung over the side of the Fallen Immortal Lake for hundreds of years.

When a cultivator falls short at ascension, they either nurse their divine consciousness in hopes of trying again or remain in the lower realms to be a wandering immortal. With the power the fisherman held back then both were good choices, but when he was within the lightning tribulation his final choice was to use his body as a medium and lead the heaven's power into the Fallen Immortal Lake, creating what can be considered an impenetrable array in the human realm.

This array was crafted with the might of the heavens, the only way to break it was to destroy the array's crux. However, every generation, the Xuanmen Righteous Sect's Leader would live at the Fallen Immortal Lake, which meant that as long as the sect leader was alive, no one could even touch a single blade of grass of Xuanmen.

The fisherman perished in the tribulation, but his magic weapon remained at the Fallen Immortal Lake, serving as the most stable shield in the world and helping to guard Xuanmen's disciples in his place.

This was one of the most convincing reasons why no one believed Bu QingYun had been set up by someone because no one could break through Xuanmen's protective array and enter. Back then, although he wasn't at the Nascent Soul stage, he was still Xuanmen's successor and was in charge of the QianTian Temple of the eight temples. At that time, he had stumbled into a rare bit of comprehension and was about to break through to the next stage, he only informed his junior brother Bu YaoLian before locking himself in his room for cultivation.

When a cultivator is breaking through, they could not risk getting disturbed. Bu QingYun was only twenty at the time and didn't have any disciples, so his junior brother Bu YaoLian volunteered to stand guard for him. The security within the QianTian Temple was extremely tight and Bu YaoLian, as the sect leader's direct disciple, was also extremely talented, under these circumstances, there should have been no issues. However, the only mishap was that the disciple tasked with guarding the mountain's gate went out.

Back when the previous dynasty's courtesan came to Xuanmen to seek help, all the higher leveled disciples were out, so it was a disciple named He Kao who brought her into Xuanmen to wait. At that time, he had given the courtesan the cloud bell used by Xuanmen disciples to seek help and promised that as soon as his seniors returned he would inform her. However, in the end, she hadn't waited until then. After seven days, she disappeared.

Fourteen years passed. That night, He Kao suddenly heard the chime of the cloud bell and remembered that girl's heartbroken and grieving expression. He thought that she had met with danger outside of Xuanmen, so he immediately brought his sword to go save her. But what stood in front of him was a demonic cultivator wearing a deranged look.
