The Soul-Nurturing Wilds.
The sky was dim, the earth dark, and not a soul could be found for a hundred miles.
From time to time, bolts of thunder tore through the void above the Nine Heavens, striking the ground. Beneath the blasted, scorched earth, the soil was as deep red as blood, and the occasional incorruptible skeleton still clad in battle armor could be seen.
The towering altitude, combined with a unique geographical magnetic field, had created a forbidden zone for life throughout the ages.
And few knew that this was the burial place of the Celestial King, who had stirred up a storm in the Southern Border seven hundred years ago.
"Xi Yue!!!"
At a certain moment, the thunder in the Nine Heavens raged violently. The core of the Soul-Nurturing Wilds swelled and roiled as if a great beast was about to be born. A roar of grief and fury shattered a vast swathe of dark clouds in the sky.
...
Wanshan Prefecture, the Hundred Thousand Mountains.
