In the Virtual Universe's Heavenly Mountain Plane, three towering divine mountains rose majestically, as imposing as heavenly gods. Their slopes were covered in exotic flowers and plants that gave off a captivating fragrance, inspiring awe and longing.
Xue Xi gazed up from the foot of the mountain. Clouds and mist swirled around the summit, as though a mysterious celestial realm lay hidden within them. At the mountain's base, a clear spring trickled past. Fish and shrimp played in its crystal-clear waters, whose sweetness refreshed the spirit.

On the slopes of the three mountains, golden characters shone brightly: "Heaven and Earth," "Absolute Beginning," and "Primal."

Even a member of the End of the World Secret Region could leap all the way to membership in the Primal Secret Region if they managed to pass through all three Heavenly Mountains in succession.
