I'm called Bai Li, a Jiao.

A thousand years ago, the ghost clan ravaged, turning the human realm into a purgatory.

The ghost clan was powerful, oppressing not only the human race but also the demon race.

The external threat was imminent, yet the human and demon races were at odds. They had long-standing grievances and would rather be ravaged by the ghost clan than join forces against the enemy.

Back then, I wasn't a Jiao, just a white serpent.

The invasion by the ghost clan was swift. The demon race struggled to hold on, while the weaker human race found even survival difficult.

It was at this time that a genius young man from the human race emerged, Jiang Yuebai.

At first sight of Jiang Yuebai, he stood in the wind dressed in a blue robe, his features delicate, a smile always lingering at the corners of his mouth.

To be honest, he resembled more of a scholar from a scholarly family than a sword cultivator.

He was formidable; I was defeated in a single move.

Instead of killing me, he extended his hand to me:

"Xiao Bai, do you want to help me rebuild this world?"

I shook my head, looking at him as if he were a fool.

He didn't mind and simply said that even if he was the only one, he would pave the way for the human race.

I thought he was crazy or maybe still half-asleep, spouting nonsense.

But I found it extremely interesting, so I followed behind him, curious to see what he could achieve.

Under the rule of the ghost clan, the human race struggled to survive like pigs and dogs.

Jiang Yuebai saved one person after another.

For those who shared his ideals, he taught them martial arts.

For those who wanted to leave, he would only sigh and say that life was hard, then work even harder.

He always lifted his head and told me, "Xiao Bai, look, we've taken another step forward."

This time, I didn't argue with him; I simply drank until I was heavily intoxicated.

I didn't understand people like him, but I admired people like him.

Gradually, more and more people joined, and that's how Tianyun Sect came into existence.

I laughed at the name he chose, but he just scratched his head:

"I only hope they'll be as free as clouds in the sky."
