Southern Yunnan Desperate Realm, Ailao Mountain.
Boundless black clouds press against the bright moon, the biting mountain wind chills to the bone.
The vast, rolling mountains lie upon the earth like slumbering dragons; deep within the dense forest, strange flashes of flame flicker, accompanied by unknown, piercing screeches.
The world says, after the founding of the nation, no one is allowed to transform into a demon—even spirit monsters rarely achieve cultivation. But that is in the mortal, mundane world.
Places like Ailao Mountain, Changbai Mountain, Kunlun Mountain, and the Eight Hundred Li Qinling remain untouched by such restrictions; here, demonic ghosts may arise, spirit monsters may cultivate... Yet these lands cannot be traversed without mysterious fortune, nor can one linger long without a fate beloved by Heaven and Earth.
To become a demon here means to become a Great Demon of the ages.
