Practitioners from the Primordial World carved up the territory of the Hongmeng Realm and enslaved its cultivators to carry out massive construction projects, starting with the erection of city walls along the borders of all occupied lands. The cultivators of the Hongmeng Realm suffered immensely, yet found themselves powerless to resist. Among them was a young cultivator named Lingxu, whose heart burned with indignation. Though his cultivation was still shallow, he possessed extraordinary wisdom.
In secret, Lingxu united other cultivators who refused to submit to slavery. They began gathering spirit crystals unique to the Hongmeng Realm—crystals that contained immense energy entirely unknown to the Primordial World. Next, Lingxu used the spirit crystals to set up a formation, quietly enveloping a section of the city walls within it.
When Primordial World cultivators patrolled the area, the formation activated, instantly trapping them inside. Lingxu and his companions revealed themselves and put forward their terms. He declared that the Hongmeng Realm was not to be bullied and trampled upon; if the Primordial World cultivators continued to enslave them, he would expand this spirit crystal formation to every single city wall, making the Primordial World pay the price as well.
