Mount Buzhou Emerges, and Every Chinese Person Cultivates Immortality

The story begins with the mysterious disappearance of Honor of Kings esports player Chen Jun while he is back in his hometown to pay respects to his ancestors.

Banpo Village, true to its name, sits halfway up a mountainside. Four years ago, everyone in the village had already moved elsewhere. All that remained were three tiled houses halfway up the slope, covered in rows upon rows of award certificates, a few lonely graves behind them, and a deep, unfathomable lake at the foot of the mountain. The place was so quiet that only the wind could be heard. But after Chen Jun disappeared, strange events began occurring one after another. The layers of mystery eventually set off a nationwide cultivation craze sweeping across Huaxia.

Chen Jun stared at the nameless mountain before him, his heart pounding. “This mountain is an ancient teleportation array!” When he got a clear look at the list of teleportation applications displayed on it, he was at a loss. The list included ancient sages, but it also conspicuously featured quite a few modern names.

The old professor studied the ancient characters on the cliff through his reading glasses, his voice trembling. “These three characters say Buzhou Mountain! It’s the essential passageway for mortals to reach the Celestial Realm! The scripture carved into the cliff is the Longevity Art! And on the other side, it’s the Primordial Cosmic Art!”

Chen Jun scanned the level column for the modern names, frowning. “Why are they all level 1? Going into Buzhou Mountain would be suicide!” Then he glanced at the names on the list, astonished and intrigued, and muttered, “There’s actually a Liu Bang at the Qi Refining Stage. That battlefield-commanding talent would be useful, though. He’d be better off delivering takeout than going pro. Lanling King’s stealth is pretty good too, with thirty seconds of invisibility. Daji’s charm is incredible; she can make people lose their minds in an instant. If only I could meet Daji and hear her say, ‘Please give me your orders, Master.’ Jiang Ziya’s innate skill is actually deification? Holy crap, could there really be immortals here?”
