Fallen Immortal Ridge: Ten Souls, I Am the Dream Ancestor

Thousands of years ago, I, Meng Qiandao, sat at the head of the nine great clans of the firmament, a half-step into the fourth realm. Yet I was betrayed by my own brother, disciples, and dao slaves, who joined with eight great families to besiege and cast me into the perilous Fallen Immortal Ridge. Ancient remnant souls sought to seize my body, so I tore apart my seven souls and three spirits, sending ten souls to reincarnate across the world, sealing the remnant souls within myself. The nine families divided my Dream clan's legacy, hoarding the Earth Soul Dao Thought techniques, and usurping the continent's power. When the ten souls return and the Tai Chu Hao Yang Sutra is perfected, with Earth Soul Dao Thought upon me, that will be the day I settle accounts with all the clans and reclaim the firmament! — Description from novelcodex.org
