Having crossed rugged mountain roads, traversed dense jungles, and waded through marshes filled with poisonous insects, Lu Yu finally saw a towering mountain.
The mountain cliffs were steep, adorned with strange flowers and herbs. A winding mountain path was carved out of the cliff with stone steps leading all the way to the highest part of the mountain, regarded as holy ground by all Curse Masters in the Southern Borderlands, known as Curse Mountain.
In Lu Yu's eyes, the mountain was enveloped by an indescribable aura, majestic and mysterious, seemingly presenting one aspect of heaven and earth to you.
Though Curse Masters obtained the curse technique from this place, Lu Yu felt they were like people who entered a treasure mountain unaware of its true value. To him, the most precious thing was this mysterious and majestic aura, which, in a way, was an embodiment of the Dao; to truly comprehend this mountain was to approach the Dao.
