3,000 years ago, the Emperor of Shang was a despot who caused great suffering for his people. The duke of the west Ji Chang's second son Ji Fa was born after a three-year pregnancy with portents of greatness. The emperor attempted to kill Ji Fa, forcing him to flee. Along the way, he cultivated powerful techniques and met powerful wuxia friends. After the death of his father and older brother, Ji Fa became the duke, and he raised the banner of revolution against the Emperor.
