Mountains were formed by the compression of the earth's crust. Their slopes rose from low to high, then fell again, forming continuous ridgelines.
But Kunlun Mountain showed no sign of that.
It was simply too tall. If they extended the ridgeline from the mountains below, it would almost certainly swallow the entire Six Nations Continent.
