Endless Desert Sea

Endless Desert Sea, Xichang Kingdom.

It lay at the edge of the southwestern lands. Further west, there were no longer rainforests thick with growth, no vibrant mountains and ravines, but an endless sea of desert stretching away.

This desert sea had many names in this southwestern borderland.

The Sea of Death, the Scorpion Tail Sea...

Names like these were too numerous to count.

Legend had it that in ancient times, the Endless Desert Sea had been much like the present-day southwestern lands—lush mountains, clear waters, and flourishing life.

Yet the emergence of the Sand Tail Scorpion Cataclysm had extinguished all that vitality and utterly destroyed it, giving rise to this boundless desert sea.

Though the cataclysm had later subsided, this boundless desert sea had remained ever since.

That endless aura of deathly stillness had also been deeply branded into this desert sea.

Moreover, the deathly stillness shrouding the desert sea was utterly unsuitable for cultivators to survive in
