The Shushan Shangqing Faction refers to the yearly winter expeditions to the Hundred Thousand Mountains as the "South Expedition."
It is not a mere raid, but a South Expedition — the difference lies in its righteousness, as the Shushan Shangqing Faction has always regarded the Hundred Thousand Mountains as their domain "since ancient times."
In Ancient Times, the Hundred Thousand Mountains in the Southern Border were the battlegrounds of the Human and Demon Races, where a large number of Sword Cultivators stationed around Shushan, responsible for repelling Demons attempting to move northward into Sichuan Shu.
By the Ancient Times, with the full rise of the Human Race in Divine Land, the number of Cultivators also began to surge.
A few powerful figures from Immortal Sects began to integrate the forces of the entire Cultivation Realm through discipleship and alliances, gradually forming the massive entities of Clarify Cult and Intercepting Cult.
