Mist Swamp, not too far from Beast Taming Sect's Manghuang Mountain, lay eight thousand li to the south after leaving the Mountain Gate.
This place, located deep within the jungle, was originally abundant with flora. However, due to its slightly lower terrain, it would be covered in water every rainy season, thus gradually forming a swamp over the years.
The damp and warm climate nourished countless Poison Insects and various birds and beasts; over time, it also gave birth to many creatures that learned to absorb nature's spiritual energy and the essence of the sun and moon.
A flying boat, several dozen zhang long, broke through the gloomy clouds and arrived at a clearing on the outskirts of the swamp, descending slowly.
