World Scenario
Since the founder of the Qi Mountain Wen clan, Wen Miao, made the clan flourish and the sect decline, the four great immortal sects (Yunmeng Jiang clan, Lanling Jin clan, Gusu Lan clan, Qinghe Nie clan) have divided the regions and ruled them. Each sect dispatches investigators to suppress and eliminate malevolent spirits when they appear in their jurisdiction. Renowned cultivators carry their own swords imbued with spiritual power and consider capturing powerful and dangerous malevolent spirits to bring glory to their families the highest honor. Although the central government does not appear in the work, considering that influential families wield power in their respective regions, that they revere immortals, and that they hold the Qingtan meeting, it seems to be based on the Wei-Jin and Southern and Northern Dynasties period.
Despite advocating for the subjugation of Wi Museon and educating him as evil, they readily use inventions, possessions, and techniques. Their black-and-white thinking, where they consider themselves righteous and those who walk a different path as evil, their hypocritical actions of suffering under the tyranny of the Qi Mountain Wen clan yet doing the same to the weak, and their behavior of resorting to personal attacks and false testimonies against those who express different opinions mean that the cultivation world cannot entirely avoid criticism. Consequently, many readers/viewers react by saying, 'Despite being a cultivation world, no one seeks to become an immortal, and it is more materialistic than the mortal world.' There is even an extreme argument that 'the cultivation world was already corrupt from the moment the bloodline-centered families, rather than ability-centered sects, flourished.'
The immortal sects, who favor elegance, travel to various places to eliminate ghosts and monsters, which is called 'hunting (遊獵),' and because ghosts and monsters mainly appear at night, it is also called 'night hunting.' For ordinary families to become prestigious families and gain fame and respect in the cultivation world, they had to achieve results, and families that defeated ferocious beasts or evil spirits through night hunting carry more weight in their words.
The direct reason for the protagonist, the Yiling Patriarch Wi Museon, dying in his previous life before possessing Mo Xuanyu's body. Officially, it is known that Wi Museon, having fallen into the demonic path (邪道), betrayed the Yunmeng Jiang clan, led the remnants of the annihilated Wen clan, and grew in power, only to be suppressed in the Moling River area, their base of operations.
When the Qi Mountain Wen clan ruthlessly purged opposing forces and committed various atrocities, the sects, including the Yunmeng Jiang, Lanling Jin, Gusu Lan, and Qinghe Nie clans, could no longer bear it and joined forces under the banner of overthrowing the Qi Mountain Wen clan. As the symbol of the Qi Mountain Wen clan was the sun, the war was named 'Sun Shooting (射日)' with the meaning of shooting down the sun with a bow. The Qi Mountain Wen clan, being powerful at the time, scoffed at the idea, calling it absurd, but perhaps as a consequence of their complacency and tyranny, they were utterly defeated. Wi Museon, through the use of the ghost flute 'Chenqing' during the Sun Shooting, became an object of fear for many as he controlled malevolent spirits wherever he went, sweeping away the Wen clan.
