Chapter 40 Disturbance in Beijing
Longevity Hill isn’t particularly tall. That’s because it wasn’t a natural mountain, but an artificial one constructed during the building of the Forbidden City.
But does its low height make Longevity Hill insignificant?
Not at all.
In fact, precisely because it was built from the ground up by human hands, Longevity Hill possessed an even more unique quality.
From a mystical arts perspective, Longevity Hill perfectly replicated the characteristics of a Renowned Mountain and a Spiritual Mountain. As such, it was shielded from prying eyes, and Spiritual Energy gathered there according to the mystical arts structure created during its construction.
The sacred and potent power thus accumulated was used for the Imperial Court’s longevity, the Forbidden City’s defense, and the cultivation of martial artists. This explained why the Imperial Court possessed more Masters than even the Prestigious Great Sects of the Martial World, which were often established on Spiritual Lands and Renowned Mountains.
But what if the energy of Longevity Hill were twisted and used for nefarious purposes?
Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard Guo Dan witnessed the answer firsthand.
“What vile Demonic Energy.”
“Is that so?”
An unidentified Altar stood atop Longevity Hill.
In front of it was a young man clad in a Kasaya.
Guo Dan clicked his tongue and spoke.
“You’ve been a nuisance from the start. I knew you’d cause trouble eventually.”
