Northern Sea, Heavenly Plain.
The Mysterious Palace stood amid rising wind and thunder.
Withering qi flickered in the great void, and a woman descended, dressed in a black-and-gold gown. A blazing black snowflake marked her forehead; her beauty was otherworldly, her aura steeped in demonic nature.
Liu Shu Han had returned from the Northern Desert, having gathered quite a few promising seeds of the Immortal Dao.
Together with the core disciples selected from Great Scarlet, Shangcun, and Yin Thunder, and those drawn from other schools and clans by its reputation, the Mystic Unity Dao Lineage now numbered nearly a thousand.
"Venerated Deity Shi Xian said to open our doors wide and offer more opportunities..."
She gazed out across the Heavenly Essence Sea, her eyes deep, as though she meant to see through the great void above and below.
Another mountain had now been moved into the Heavenly Essence Sea. Vast beyond measure and towering majestically, it stretched from the northern edge of Heavenly Plain to the far end of Candle River. It could accommodate the people of a small nation and rivaled Meng Continent in the Pan Sea!
Even the Shangcun Dao Lineage's Spirit Mountain was only a seventh the size of this divine mountain, standing opposite it far to the east of Heavenly Plain.
The mountain was called [Azure Mountain]. Legend held that it was a sacred land of shock thunder and the dwelling of an Ancient God, comparable to [Bell Mountain], where Torch Dragon had once coiled. It was an extraordinarily mysterious Spirit Land, suffused with a primordial air.
Mysterious halls dotted the mountain, towers and temples rose in rows, and all manner of extraordinary manifestations of the Immortal Dao flourished. Though there were only a little over a thousand disciples, the scene was thriving.
