Demon Ruins, Western Boundary.
Seen from afar, an immense golden tanhua flower stood beneath the heavens of this region.
Countless enormous, thick golden petals bloomed here, one after another.
Cultivators walking among these petals seemed to be traveling through deep mountains and dense forests.
Each enormous golden petal resembled a peculiarly shaped mountain peak, with many cave abodes upon it.
