Mist Vine Gorge.

This was a gorge shrouded in mist all year round, once a place of exquisite scenery.

Yet no one knew when Mist Vine Gorge had begun to fill with poisonous miasma, allowing entry but no exit.

Cultivators passing through had suspected that some treasure might have been born here and attempted to enter in search of it, but all had gone never to return.

Master Xiling had once gone there, relying on his great cultivation as he sought to test the gorge, and never emerged again. There had also been Liu Shengxian, a prodigy of the Immortal Sect, who had charged in alone with a single sword and furiously cleaved at the gorge. The gorge remained unbroken, while he himself perished. Even a Nirvana Realm mighty one had once tested it with supreme divine might while passing by, only to suffer a backlash that drastically diminished his cultivation.

From then on, this place became a well-known minor forbidden ground in the Mountain Valley Prefecture region.

Mist Vine Gorge was especially fog-laden today. Under the sunlight, it radiated a brilliant rainbow glow.

A wisp of dark cloud drifted past and merged into that radiance. Soundlessly, it transformed into a graceful young man—it was Lin Mo, the young master of the Lin family from Clear River Bay Town.

In Clear River Bay Town, everyone knew Young Master Lin as a refined and literary youth who knew nothing of cultivation. But if this scene were witnessed by the people of Clear River, it would likely overturn everything they believed.

The moment he landed within the gorge, an invisible aura erupted, and all the poisonous miasma automatically parted.

With his hands behind his back, Lin Mo entered the gorge. Reaching a mountain wall, he lightly rubbed it before knocking on it
