As Wang Xuan traveled through the sea of stars, what he saw along the way was an exceedingly grim situation. All kinds of chaos had sprung up across Five Tribulations Mountain's territory.
A faction that had once been incomparably powerful, a supreme True Saint lineage—many of its fringe regions had begun to slip out of control, while even some key locations suffered sabotage from time to time, with very serious bloody incidents breaking out.
The starry domain governed by Five Tribulations Mountain was simply too vast. Wang Xuan had passed through only part of it, yet he had already witnessed all manner of disturbances.
What concerned him more was the Black Peacock Clan. He had once been brought there to study bitterly for eleven years, and acquaintances such as Qingkong, Wolverine, Ten-eyed Golden Cicada, Luo Ying, and Chong Xiao were all connected to that clan.
