The film is adapted from the novel of the same name by Japanese writer Baku Yumemakura. It is divided into two parts, "The Yin Yang Master: Dream of Eternity" and "Takiyasu". It tells the story of how the Yin Yang Master Qingming met the samurai Boya and the wizard Takiya in the process of exploring the strange phenomena in Tiandu City, and the three of them joined forces to investigate.
