Haigakura

The Eight Immortals rule over the Immortal Realm, led by the Queen Mother of the West. An orphan, Hakusyurin lives in Ankei Home, a facility that cares for orphans and the elderly, built by one of the Eight Immortals, Kansyouri. Syurin looks up to Kansyouri's son, Sanu, whose mother has become critically ill. However, Kansyouri only returns after her death - and he's come for Hakusyurin...

Ichiyo and Syurin grow closer playing together in the courtyard of the Celestial Palace of the Jade Pond as children. A curious Syurin asks Ichiyo about his servant-god, Tenko. Ichiyo recalls their first meeting - when he got separated from the Minister of Kashi, Sonto, deep in a forest. There he found a man bound with a strong seal in the depths of a hidden shrine...

Just when Ichiyo finally reunites with Hakugo, a great earthquake strikes the Immortal Realm. In the ensuing chaos, every single Peach of Immortality - a necessity bestowed to Kashi heading to the outside world by The Queen Mother of the West - is found to be stolen. Ichiyo's teacher, Ran Saiwa, is taken in for interrogation while Ichiyo heads for Japan with Ryusei to track down the thief...

Two mysterious men - one in a gask mask and the other in a rabbit mask - are behind the Peaches of Immortality theft.Ichiyo returns from Japan and reunites with Sanu, who had taught him everything he knew about being a Kashi, and with whom he shares a unique bond. Meanwhile, a stray god attacks the King Father of the East's quarters. Ryusei rushes to the scene and defeats it, or so he thought...

The Sai containing the powerful "Seven Stars” sealing technique became tainted after the rabbit-masked intruder's attack. Sonto orders Ichiyo to travel to meet Otohime - master of the Sai Chamber and the creator of Sai to purify them. She traps them - but a mysterious girl offers them her help. Meanwhile, the Eight Immortals conclude the attack was the work of one of the Four Perils, Konton...

After getting separated from Tenko, Ichiyo stumbles into Syungei's quartters. Through their conversation, Ichiyo begins to contemplate Tenko's true identity. Could he be Souryu - Kyoko of the Four Perils' subordinate? Meanwhile Tenko finds himself in an-off limits area while and ecounters the imprisoned Hiki and an enraged Gaishi. Strangely enough, Hiki seems to know Tenko's true identity...

During his report to Sontō, Ichiyō makes a shocking revelation regarding the Egg of the Moon. But there's no time for explanations. The Eight Immortals have decided to imprison Tenkō. Suddenly, San'u appears, trying to convince Ichiyō to fight alongside him against the Eight Immortals.

Yiye continues his fight against Shanwu, but the latter will quickly realize that resorting to taboo carries risks.

During their reunion, Yiye realises that Zhulong has accepted his fate. He then finds the strength to inquire about his own identity. But when he questions Baihao about it, he comes to a terrible realisation about the man he considered his father.

When Ichiyo presses Hakugo to reveal his true identity, Hakugo tells him to go to the Sacred Forest. He says, “When you meet the sage of the Sacred Forest, learn the true goals of the nation and the Dragon King, and discover your own identity, the fate of this country will be decided.” Meanwhile, in order to track down Konton, who has infiltrated Japan, it is decided that poets will be dispatched there. However, Ichiyo, determined to uncover his own identity, persuades Ransaiwa to accompany him into the Sacred Guardian Forest. Eventually, as Ichiyo and his companion venture deep into the woods, the sage of the Sealing Tree awaits them...
