On a stormy night in Jiushan Village, Wu Jie was born covered in white fur and was regarded as a disaster star. Grandma Liu, a shamaness, saved him under the guise of an immortal descending to the world. When he was nine years old, evil ghosts from the Wuxian State possessed Ma Sansao and attacked using corpse ghosts. The Yellow Immortal perished, but the eight-tailed fox immortal inside Wu Jie manifested to burn the enemies and then fell into a deep sleep. Masters of feng shui arrived one after another, and Li Xuantong took Wu Jie away to practice Daoism. Eight years later, Wu Jie completed his apprenticeship, broke the curse on the Zhang family's ancestral grave, punished the wicked Wang Zhaoyang, sealed the alluring spirit of an ancient painting, and pacified the grieving ghosts of the Yanbei Ghost Building. Facing his fatal tribulation at eighteen, a traitor from Longhu Mountain set up a thunder array. The fox immortal burned away its cultivation to protect its master, and Li Xuantong sealed its remaining soul. Bearing the Heavenly Gang Seal and the eighteen tribulation curses, Wu Jie already carried the sprouting seed of the Wuxian State's curse.
