Li Jun was cast out of his family after his father's death. Bullied by his cousins and robbed by his uncle, his upbringing was less than pleasant. Despite that, Li Jun tried his best to live a quiet life; he kept to himself and worked hard to earn a living.

However, fate dealt a cruel blow when a vicious attack left him unable to work again. Li Jun fell into despair. It was only through the selfless sacrifice of his devoted mother that a glimmer of redemption emerged as she sold off her final sliver of wealth to afford him a chance at a better life.

Just when all seemed lost, a mysterious silver ring, seemingly tossed from the hands of celestials, descended from the heavens. Upon receiving the celestial gift, Li Jun's life took a surprising turn.

As the layers of deceit peeled away, Li Jun found himself thrust into a web of lies that began to unravel before him. Compelled to untangle the enigmatic circumstances surrounding his father's demise and the orchestrated misfortunes that befell him, Li Jun strode on through the world of cultivation as the heavens trembled at his feet. He had seen a whisper of despair and vowed to never glance upon it again.

The Black Star Monarch

"Ah, The Grand Elder, it is my honor to meet you." A ghostly, pale young man with long, bony limbs bowed as Li Jun followed his Master into the treasury.

"It's nice to see you too, Calgrac." Master Cao said as they approached his desk.

"Ah, it is joyous once more. Grand Elder's disciple has graced me with his presence." The man said in his strange rhythmic dialect. It was almost as though he spoke to the beat of a song only he could hear.

"It is nice to see you again Mr Calgrac." Li Jun bowed, he was sure that he had butchered the pronunciation of the man's name, but he didn't show it on his face. The strange looking man simply smiled.

"What can I do for you, Grand Elder, and Grand Elder's disciple?" Calgrac asked with a confused expression.

"Didn't your Master tell you?" Master Cao asked, "We're here to visit the Caverns."

"Yes, that is correct," Calgrac said. "The Master did inform my humble self of such things. I will take you. Come."
