Nanhua Realm.
Ten Thousand Kingdoms.
In the southeast, numerous nations stand together. On the border between Zheng Country and Guo Country, there exists a place called 'Chaos Ridge'.
Spanning three thousand miles, this land is all undulating peaks and dense forests; thorns cover the ground, and thick fog obscures direction, making it impossible to discern one's way. Even a bold hero or a True Man with the way could get lost within. Wandering aimlessly, poor luck might mean never finding a way out. Even the fortunate ones who manage to escape are left weak and weary.
Over time, 'Chaos Ridge' became sparsely populated.
Years ago,
the Demon Dao figure Guyue, infamous across Zheng, Guo, Yv, and Geng Countries, was discovered using the sinister Gu Technique. Disguised as Geng Country's censorial advisor, he practiced his heinous craft under Zheng great scholar Zhou Fu's tutelage.
Geng Country was outraged.
