Kunmo Sect, Southern Region
Venerable Linlang took out her disciple's Soul Lamp and inspected it. Only after confirming that Xun Kun's divine soul was stable did she put the lamp back into her Storage Bracelet. Ever since her disciple had vanished alongside the "Misty Snow Region" in the Northern Regions, this had become something she did every day.
However, after receiving a message from Huatang of the Huaxian Sect these past two days, her mood worsened again. Since her disciple's disappearance, it seemed there had not been a single thing worth being happy about.

Not long afterward, several Spirit Transformation cultivators from the Kunmo Sect quietly left the sect and headed for Qinghua Mountain Range, the largest mountain range in the Southern Region.
A month later, a rumor spread through the Weiyu Realm: an immortal treasure had descended upon Qinghua Mountain Range in the Southern Region. Someone had personally seen a streak of golden light fall into the mountains. Afterward, the golden light vanished, and whatever had fallen with it also fled into Qinghua Mountain Range, leaving no trace behind.
For a time, countless cultivators turned their attention there. Everyone hoped to pick up a bargain. Any cultivator who thought their luck was decent called friends and companions together before entering Qinghua Mountain Range in search of the legendary immortal treasure.
