History
As part of his research to discover immortality on Kotaku, the Hōshi, Xu Fu, created beings called Tensens by mixing in his Tao with Plant Tao. Two Tensens named Mei and Rien were first created by Xu Fu and were taught everything he knew. From then on, the two took over his research in achieving immortality through the Inner and Outer Ways of Tan and trained six young Tensens. After viewing the Outer Way of Tan to be more effective, Rien killed many of the Hōko for his experimentations in creating an immortality elixir and gave permission to the young Tensens to use them to replenish their Tao. Mei started to notice a drastic change in Rien and tried to stop him from going any further with his experiments. Upon doing so, Rien broke Mei's ovule, reduced her body to the size of a child, and sentenced her to Bōchū Jutsu training with the Dōshi as punishment. She eventually escaped from the Hōrai Palace and her whereabouts became unknown.
After 200 years passed, Tao Fa, Mu Dan, and Ju Fa plotted to lure in humans from Japan to the island after the Hōko were on the verge of going extinct, leaving the Tensens without a steady source of Tao to keep themselves alive. After several centuries passed since Tao Fa, Mu Dan, and Ju Fa sent an Arborified Hōko to the outside world, Lord Tensen encountered the first group of humans that landed on Kotaku. They then ambushed them and learned how valuable a humans Tao is. From then on throughout the ages, Lord Tensen began to extract the Tao of the humans that came to the island, and as a result, they managed to create the prototype elixir known as Tan that would supply them with endless amounts of Tao until they finally manage to create a perfected Elixir of Life. Rien also made use of the humans to create the Banko within his laboratory to produce a far greater quantity of Tan.
During the Edo period, Lord Tensen dealt with six groups of humans that were sent by the shogun to retrieve the rumored Elixir of Life and used the same previous luring method by sending a single boat filled with flowers and a bloomed human back to Japan. The shogun then dispatched a group of criminals and executioners to Kotaku with the same mission. Upon their arrival, Ju Fa and Tao Fa encountered Aza Chōbē and Aza Tōma while engaging in Bōchū Jutsu. Ju Fa quickly defeated the brothers and threw them down the Tan pit. Zhu Jin then went out to investigate and found multiple Sōshin corpses within Eishū. After arriving on the beach, Zhu Jin encountered Nurugai, Yamada Asaemon Tensa, and Yamada Asaemon Shion. They effortlessly kills Tensa and forces Nurugai and Shion to escape. Having already dealt with one group of humans, Zhu Jin returned to Hōrai but encounters another human named Gabimaru at the gate. Zhu Jin engages in battle with Gabimaru, who notices that he is not an ordinary human based on his abilities. After being overwhelmed by his strength, Zhu Jin decides to transform into their Kishikai state knowing that the others would be disappointed with him. Zhu Jin manages to brutally injure Gabimaru but sees Mei come to his side and help him escape by creating crater leading them down the Sōshin Nest. Zhu Jin's Kishikai form ends and is reduced to a weaken state wondering why Mei helped Gabimaru.
