Xiang Xiaofang was born as a prince for a large nation under the influence of the high goddess Tiandi. This nation liked martial arts more than immortal cultivation and martial artists have high status in the nation. Xiang Xiaofang had great, almost unparalleled talent as a martial artist and he also had a great future ahead.
But his father, the current ruler of the nation was weak and incompetent. Not only was his strength insignificant but he was also very lustful and selfish. So, during his reign, the nation hit rock bottom in everything.
So, naturally a revolt occurred and many leaders rose up to overthrow the corrupted ruler. Even though Xiang Xiaofang had incredible potential, he needed time for his strength to grow. But at the time of the revolt he was only 7 years old.
