4000 years ago, a kitsune empress named Ainatsu ruled the Demon Realm with ruthless power. Wielding three legendary relics-a magic staff, a spellbook, and an amulet-she purged the world with unmatched force. When a brave group of heroes rose to challenge her, they stood little chance. Yet they refused to give up. In a desperate final act, the shrine maiden Miyori cast a spell that sealed Ainatsu forever inside a weighing scale.
Four millennia later, the king of the kingdom, King Arctavin, faced a threat greater than any before: Kelvrax, an undead lich intent on annihilating all life and raising a kingdom of the dead. In a bold gamble, the king broke Ainatsu's seal, believing her fury would be a weapon against Kelvrax.
But when Ainatsu awoke, she was not the bloodthirsty queen of legend. Without her staff, spellbook, and amulet, her power was diminished-a shadow of what it once had been. She retained her knowledge, skill, and intellect, but no longer sought to kill. The king, holding her beloved staff, offered it back under one condition: she must join a hero party known as the Starlight Brigade to aid them in defeating Kelvrax the Lich.
After 10,000 years perfecting a single pill, Bai Fanxian emerges from seclusion to find the world has moved on without her.
Cultivation is now rare and weak, True Alchemy have faded into legend, and the modern world has no idea what masters of the past could achieve.
Armed with ancient mastery and unmatched power, she'll remind everyone why "Alchemy Empress" was once the most revered title in the cultivation world.
