The Qinling Mountains, spanning no less than a million miles in circumference, could be considered vast and boundless, yet comparatively, they were merely a corner of the Central States' western region.
This was a mysterious Ancient Land, difficult for outsiders to understand, fraught with many legends. Since ancient times, it had been home to numerous experts, exceedingly powerful yet little known to the world.
It was said that in ages past, an unbeatable Ancient Saint roamed the Five Great Domains without encountering a worthy rival. However, after arriving in Qinling, he was beaten until he groveled on the ground by an old man herding sheep.
Even in more recent ancient times, some twenty thousand years ago, similar incidents occurred. Eight sovereigns came to Qinling seeking ancient secrets but were all unceremoniously tossed into a lake by a simple fisherman.
