The Celestial Martial Continent was divided into the nine states of Kyushu.
In Celestial State, six great sects stood in opposition: the Ghost King Sect, the Golden Sun Sect, the Thunder Sect, the Blood Sea Sect, the Wind and Thunder Sect, and the Flame Sect.
After years of preparation, Ghost King Ao Tian finally lost his patience and initiated the largest-scale battle in the history of Celestial State.
Originally, the Ghost King's plan was to sow discord among the other Five Great Sects, allowing the Ghost King Sect to reap the benefits while they fought amongst themselves. However, he eventually discovered that each of the Five Great Sects was more cunning than the last, and dividing them proved to be nearly impossible.
In that case, the only option left was to form alliances.
