God Ruins, Thousand Towers Valley.
Across the strange and unfathomable land of the God Ruins lay countless perilous places. Even for great powers of the Dao Inquiry and Heavenly Origin realms, they were fraught with extreme danger.
Legend had it that this land, broader even than the Nine Provinces, had been severed from the heavens by Saint Li in those days. That was why it possessed a terrifying spirituality that did not belong to this mortal world.
Yet danger was accompanied by opportunity. Many divine artifacts and magical treasures ranked near the top of the Myriad Treasures Record had been found in the God Ruins, and many spiritual plants rare in the mortal world had been harvested here as well. To ambitious powerhouses, this place was also a treasury.
As humanity explored the lands of the God Ruins over millions of years, certain places along the fringes had been designated safe zones. Some less dangerous locations had also been recorded in atlases, like a map shrouded in mist being dispersed bit by bit.
Many treasure troves like the Sword Domain Heavenly Palace had been secretly passed down.
Thousand Towers Valley was one of them.
Several centuries ago, the first person to discover Thousand Towers Valley was an unconventional cultivator. He and several elders of his sect had followed a map into the God Ruins, but a sudden thunderstorm forced them off course, and they accidentally came upon a land that left them stunned.
Jade towers and jeweled halls stood amid swirling immortal mist. Celestial maidens danced, while spiritual birds and auspicious beasts gathered. It was clearly the paradise of immortals that countless people dreamed of.
Those elders were all cultivators of considerable strength. They could sense that every wisp of spiritual energy here was purer and more alluring than that
