Jade Dynasty

Young village boy Zhang Xiaofan survives a horrific nocturnal slaughter that wipes out his entire hometown. Taken in by the prestigious righteous Qingyun Sect alongside his childhood friend, Xiaofan struggles with rudimentary cultivation due to his sluggish talent. During an arduous expedition, he fortuitously acquires a sinister blood-forged staff containing a Buddhist pearl and demonic bead. Venturing into perilous mountains on sect missions, Xiaofan crosses paths with elegant swordswoman Lu Xueqi and vibrant demonic heiress Bi Yao. Caught between righteous orthodox dogma and forbidden affections, his loyalties shatter when dark conspiracies ignite an apocalyptic factional war.
