True Lord Momei's Huaying Mountain was fourth-tier middle-grade, with spiritual energy considerably denser than Heaven-Reaching Peak's at present.
At a glance, the mountain stood only five hundred-odd zhang tall, yet its grandeur was extraordinary.
A taller mountain did not necessarily possess a higher-grade spirit vein.
