Deep within the Changbai Mountain Range.
Huang Tianhu walked through the ancient, deep-mountain forest, a travel pack on his back.
He soon arrived at a stone pool somewhere in the mountains. He took off his clothes, placing them along with his backpack inside a hidden cave nearby, keeping only a waterproof waist pack on him.
Then, he walked to the edge of the stone pool, took a deep breath, and leaped into the frigid water.
He dove deeper and deeper. After descending about thirty meters, he spotted a small cavern at the side of the pool. It wasn't naturally formed; it bore the marks of being carved by hand. He swam toward it and entered.
This was a secret place known only to him. Back when he had just achieved his Ascension, he had traveled all over the country searching for Spiritual Painting Pigments, and it was then that he discovered this wondrous place that could not be detected by spiritual senses.
