Golden Crown Mountain was a natural concentration point for mana. It was essentially four volcanoes, each belching thick smoke every moment of every day, with magma churning within. Some were dormant, while others were still active.
The volcanoes could erupt a special underground Magic Tide, raising the concentration gradient of the Magic Tide around the four volcanoes by several levels.
The main peak of Golden Crown Mountain reached from earth to sky, its summit seemingly right beneath the sun and forever shrouded in golden radiance.
This mountain truly deserved its title as the greatest volcano among the nine mountains of Cloud Marsh Wetland!
For some reason, Golden Crown Mountain itself was actually not very tall. The sun's height above the ground was normal everywhere else in the surrounding region.
Yet at the summit of Golden Crown Mountain alone, the sun seemed to hover above the peak, forming a breathtaking sight.
The sun seemed to have transformed into a halo of light behind the great mountain. All of Golden Crown Mountain radiated sacred, majestic light and heat across the land.
In other words, Golden Crown Mountain itself released geothermal energy, but it was no ordinary volcano. It could erupt underground geothermal Magic Tides and even connect with the fire of the sun.
Heavenly fire and earthly fire were linked by a single mountain, transforming into pure magical power that nourished all living things around it.
That was why the area around Golden Crown Mountain was covered in vast forests, each composed of Magic Plants.
Locke had never seen such a dense forest of high-level Magic Plants. First-Ring Magic Plants were everywhere, and there were even Second-Ring Magic Plants. Deeper within the forest, there were also some terrifying auras that seemed to belong to even more advanced Magic Plants.
