Descent Mountain was located at the very center of the imperial palace in the imperial capital of the Central Sacred Nation.
The Central Sacred Nation had chosen this place to build its imperial capital precisely because it was close to Descent Mountain!
In the past, the experts of the Ancient Immortal Sect had crossed the void and arrived on the Barren Ancient Continent. Seeing that martial dao had only just begun to flourish there and that there were few powerful experts, they had claimed the place for themselves, built a teleportation wormhole on Descent Mountain, and supported the Central Sacred Nation's rise until it ruled the Barren Ancient Continent.
All along, the Central Sacred Nation had revered Descent Mountain as a sacred land. Other than the imperial family's trusted confidants, no other martial artist was allowed to approach it.
Especially after the Ancient Immortal Sect had completely abandoned the Barren Ancient Continent many years ago and forbidden its martial artists from ascending to the upper realms, Descent Mountain had been protected by the Central Sacred Nation, and outsiders could not learn anything about it.
Because of this, although palaces and pavilions stood everywhere within the imperial capital of the Central Sacred Nation, the area within ten thousand li of Descent Mountain had always remained forested, and no one dared to encroach upon it.
As time passed, whenever the Sacred Emperors of the Central Sacred Nation reached a bottleneck in their cultivation, they would come to Descent Mountain to enter secluded cultivation. As this place lay at the very core of the Central Sacred Nation, no one could reach Descent Mountain without prior notice. Thus, it was like a paradise beyond the mortal world, unknown to others. Secluding oneself here to break through was also the safest and most secretive option
