Gāng Qiáng, much like Dà Ming, hailed from one of the Four Great Sects of ancient Huáxià. Both had originated from the Xuānyuán Sect, a top-tier sect, but after their Dantians were accidentally destroyed, each received a heterologous Dantian from the Immortal Realm.
Through a fortuitous turn of events, Gāng Qiáng obtained the powerful dragon crystal of the ancient Zhurong. Bolstered by the Hongmeng Bead—the heterologous Immortal Realm Dantian within him—Gāng Qiáng's strength advanced by leaps and bounds. He became capable of summoning the Zhurong and commanding its power. The flames of the Zhurong could burn anything in their path, unstoppable by anyone.
However, Gāng Qiáng discovered that the Zhurong's power was not inexhaustible. After each use, the dragon crystal grew slightly dimmer.
