On Fire Persimmon Mountain Peak, amidst deep clouds and mist.
The current City Lord of Fire Persimmon Immortal City, Meng Kui, sat cross-legged in the air. Dense twilight surrounded him, with clouds and mist swirling around.
His fingers formed various hand seals, silently chanting incantations. His mana surged like tides, merging with the surrounding world and resonating in harmony.
Meng Kui's entire body emitted a faint green glow.
He had been cultivating like this for eight or nine days.
Meng Kui slowly opened his eyes. With a thought, he retrieved a painting scroll from his storage waist belt.
The painting scroll floated in the air, unfurling with the wind, revealing its full appearance.
It was a portrait of a man with a square face, clad in armor, carrying a battle flag on his back, exuding an awe-inspiring and fierce aura. On the mountain behind him stood a burly, striped yellow tiger, roaring towards the sky.
