The atmosphere at Mount Gu Cong was so ominous that even birds avoided this place. Those that accidentally wandered into the place would be suffocated by the toxic fumes that rose ceaselessly into the air and death would be near-instant.
This was one of South Continent's most dangerous locations.
However, no matter how hazardous the environment is, humans would always find a way to make it habitable.
There was an old adage that misfortune was inseparable from good luck. The central concept that Taoist sects subscribed to was the Yin-Yang dichotomy, which represented the polar opposites of each other. Hidden treasures were commonly found in dangerous places. This mountain was no exception, as it contained tons of spirit herbs and wild beasts, so herb pickers and hunters frequented Mount Gu Cong.
