Background

Immortal Mountain rose to prominence after Su Chen began openly recruiting disciples there. Its name derives from the master’s refined appearance and otherworldly bearing, which visitors liken to that of an immortal descended into the mortal world 1.

The mountain initially attracted curious Soul Masters, noblewomen, and admirers seeking to see Su Chen or test their potential. Ning Rongrong’s acceptance as Su Chen’s first disciple confirmed that the mountain’s strict recruitment standard was genuine, sharply expanding its reputation 3 8.

Its standing grew further after Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing defeated the Imperial Fighting Team in a two-versus-seven Soul Arena battle. The public began calling Immortal Mountain a holy land for Soul Masters, while prospective students arrived from across Suotuo City and beyond 53 60.

By the time of the planned Soul Duel against Papal Hall, the mountain had drawn the attention of major academies, nobles, Spirit Hall, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and other continental powers 75 85.
