"The Celestial Zone" (Traditional Chinese:《天界無限》; Simplified Chinese:《天界无限》; Pinyin: Tiān Jiè Wú Xiàn), sometimes commonly abbreviated as "TCZ" is a manga strip created by Singaporean Wee Tian Beng (黄展鸣). There are two series for the strip: The Celestial Zone I and The Celestial Zone II. The Celestial Zone II broke new grounds as it was fully coloured in A4 Size like the Hong Kong Comics. The Celestial Zone has attracted a dedicated following among fans in Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Europe and North America. The series is published both in Chinese and English.

Following the TCZ Saga, a new series was created, The Celestial Zone 21. It had an entirely new plot, era and characters.

Plot summaries

The Celestial Zone I

This series relates the camaraderie and heart-stopping exploits of the Celestians, extraordinary people who live during the tumultuous Warring States Era. Living in a world of their own - a place known as the 'Celestial Zone' - they cultivate special powers beyond the comprehension of mere mortals. Unfortunately, some of them branch into the cultivation of the evil power of corruption, bringing destruction and sorrow to the mortal world. The series centres around the war that starts between the Celestians.

The Celestial Zone II

This series follows a couple of years after the events in the first. Peace has reigned ever since the fall of Moon Monarch, the leader of the evil forces. Yet unknown to them, a strange and new power has crept up from behind, threatening to destroy the peace which has been obtained most painstakingly.

The Celestial Zone 21

Unlike the plot from the Warring States Era set in TCZ I and II, The Celestial Zone 21 is set in 21st century Singapore where a particular number of people possessing extraordinary powers live among us. The main character is Mi Sheng, a manga artist who under the arrangement of his little sister, Mi Yu, meets Xiaoxun (or Lavender), an Extra-sensory power (ESP) mentor. It seems Xiaoxun was sent on a mission to train Mi Sheng who unwittingly possesses high potential for special powers. Right at the same time, several other ESP custodians from the Crane Shadow Clan arrive intent on seizing Xiaoxun's "Mentor's Stone".
