With the exception of the Ancient Desolation in the Southern Region, all the major forbidden zones of the Eastern Wasteland stirred.
From the Immortal Mausoleum, an ancient war chariot emerged.
Seated cross-legged upon it was a Daoist whose attire was ancient beyond measure. An Immortality Sword lay across his knees, and he carried an aura of eternal vicissitudes.
He wore a Purple Gold Crown and an ancient Daoist robe. His face was indistinct, his eyes and hair ash-gray, his loose hair draped over his shoulders. Within his gaze lay scenes of suns, moons, and stars collapsing.
