The Ten Shamans of Spirit Mountain

In ancient times, Spirit Mountain served as the sole ladder between heaven and earth and the only link between gods and mortals. Ten shamans guarded it for generations, jointly controlling the celestial ladder, the medicine veins, and the order of yin and yang. However, as the ancient laws of heaven and earth gradually loosened over millennia, otherworldly evils coveted the hundred medicines and the power to reach the heavens, causing cracks in the celestial ladder. The stars deviated, the medicine fields withered, strange beasts ran wild, and the barrier cracked—a catastrophe sweeping across Spirit Mountain and the Great Wilderness quietly descended. Each of the ten shamans used their unique skills and fulfilled their duties: Wu Xian commanded the overall situation and received divine oracles; Wu Fen observed the stars and issued warnings; Wu Li investigated ancient records to trace origins; Wu Zhen set up barriers to strengthen defenses; Wu Luo drew talismans to suppress evil; Wu Di defended the territory against enemies; Wu Ji tamed beasts and patrolled the mountains; Wu Peng refined medicines to save the world; Wu Gu nurtured the spiritual veins; Wu Xie guided resentful souls to salvation. The ten shamans, without rivalry or jealousy, united in their dedication to the Dao, supporting the collapsing sky of Spirit Mountain with their flesh and blood. An orthodox narrative of the ancient Classic of Mountains and Seas, highlighting all ten shamans without internal strife or melodrama, centered on collective protection throughout.
