Nether Mountain, also known as No Return Mountain, is shrouded in gloom all year round.
According to the spirit beasts, any monster that strays into Nether Mountain disappears without a trace and none have ever come out alive.
Perhaps it was the work of fate, but when Sword Spirit Jinghong approached Nether Mountain, it sensed a familiar aura that was remarkably similar to the Jinghong Divine Sword.
Upon hearing Jinghong's spiritual message, Qing Yuan decided to venture into Nether Mountain in search of the Divine Sword Fragments.
Over the past sixteen years, Ye Kongming had witnessed the extraordinary luck of his junior sister. Like everyone else, he developed an unparalleled sense of trust in her.
Upon receiving her spiritual message, he did not hesitate and led a group of juniors to Nether Mountain.
