Sun Yan looked at Lin Wan and spoke.
The Lin Group is an international conglorate organization.
With the power of the Lin Group, it might be possible to locate the Kunlun Ruins more quickly.
"Alright, I’ll handle this. I’ll have soone investigate it," Lin Wan nodded, agreeing imdiately.

Ancient sayings ntion: At the age of sixty-seven, Emperor of Zhou ordered his charioteer, Smith, to drive the eight steeds from Luoyang, heading westward to Kunlun Mountain, where he t with the Queen Mother of the West at the Jasper Pool, enjoying endless days of singing and wine.
The Kunlun Mountain range stretches across the west, reaching a length of 2500 kiloters.
It is the mythical divine mountain, the ancestor of all mountains.
The Classic of Mountains and Seas records: In the western sea, beyond the quicksand, past the Red Water, before the Black Water, there is a great mountain called Kunlun Hill.
The master of Kunlun has always been the Queen Mother of the West since ancient tis.
Moreover, the image of the Queen Mother of the West has consistently existed in mythology.
After Hou Yi shot down the suns, his great deeds led him to Kunlun Mountain to request the Undying dicine from the Queen Mother of the West, who offered him an Immortal Pill.
Hou Yi should have been able to ascend to immortality, but Chang’e, driven by greed, stole the Immortal Pill and thus robbed Hou Yi of his chance to beco immortal.
During the Battle of Zhuolu between the Yellow Emperor and Chiyou, the Yellow Emperor’s situation was unfavorable, highlighting a defeat.
However, in a dream, he saw the Queen Mother of the West dispatching an envoy with a military talisman, and the Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman, who had a human head and bird body, ca to teach military strategy and the art of taphysical warfare.
The Yellow Emperor thus successfully defeated Chiyou, becoming the leader of the Five Emperors.
Later, leaders of tribes such as Yao, Shun, and Yu also had contact with the Queen Mother of the West.
By the ti of King Mu of the fifth generation of Western Zhou, there was irrefutable evidence of the Queen Mother’s existence.
It is said that the over-fifty-year-old King Mu liked adventurous expeditions, so his subordinates gifted him swift horses that could travel tens of thousands of miles a day, allowing him to reach anywhere in the world.
When King Mu was sixty-seven, he set out from Luoyang, journeying west to Kunlun Mountain to et with the Queen Mother of the West.
In Kunlun, King Mu toured the Queen Mother’s palaces and was so delighted that he was reluctant to leave.
He only left Kunlun when the southeastern Xu Kingdom rebelled, requiring him to return to the capital to quell the revolt.
In myths, the Queen Mother of the West is a profoundly mysterious figure, and her possession of the Undying dicine makes her a figure of yearning for earthly emperors.
In the late Eastern Han, Daoism considered the Queen Mother of the West to be the ruler of Kunlun Mountain, residing in Tianyong City.
The Western Queen Mother Chronicles by Eastern Han scholar Huan Lin ntioned: A city spanning a thousand miles, with twelve jade towers, the ornate palace of Qionghua, the Guangbi Hall, the nine-tiered Yuan Room, the purple-green elixirs chamber, flanked by the Jasper Pool on the left and encircled by Erald Waters on the right.
This describes Kunlun as a grotto paradise, also the dwelling of the Immortal Family.
Though later generations categorized the Queen Mother of the West as a heavenly empress, in truth she was not a part of the Celestial Court system, but rather an independent entity of the Kunlun Ruins,
being an independent existence, not subjected to the Celestial Court’s jurisdiction.
Even so, when the True Monarch of Pure Origin and Mysterious Dao ntioned the Kunlun Ruins, he could not help but feel apprehensive.
The Lin’s private hotel, rooftop.
Sun Yan lay by the poolside, enjoying a sunbath.
During this period, he’s been waiting; Lin Wan has dispatched a large number of personnel to start searching for the exact location of the Kunlun Ruins.
Since ancient tis, the specific location of the Kunlun Ruins has always been subject to various speculations.
rely because, after King Mu of Zhou, few records show anyone actually entering the Kunlun Ruins again.
And the Kunlun Ruins, unlike Kunlun Mountain, as a grotto paradise, are not sothing ordinary people can easily find.
Sima Qian docunted Zhang Qian’s achievents in the Biography of Dayuan, expressing skepticism about Emperor Wu of Han’s assertion that Kunlun Mountain is the Kunlun Ruins.
Central Plains People often say Kunlun is in the Western Regions, but few can describe its exact position in detail.
Thus, over the years, the Kunlun Ruins have beco an unsolved mystery.
Having beco an Immortal Family mber and experienced many Lands of the Profane, Sun Yan firmly believes that the Kunlun Ruins should also be akin to a Land of the Profane.
It’s like a barrier; although it exists in this world, it’s not sothing the naked eye can see, or the physical body can enter.
One must master so thod to enter the Kunlun Ruins.
Lin Wan’s current task is to find a place similar to this condition, so Sun Yan can personally investigate.
"Sun Yan, there’s news."
At this mont, Lin Wan hurriedly approached, saying to the sunbathing Sun Yan:
"A Lin Group expedition team discovered a supernatural phenonon in Gangdise. In a valley, once soone enters, they lose their sense of direction and only erge after several days. Many shepherds call it the entrance to Hell, and cattle and sheep that wander in never return. It may have so connection to the Kunlun Ruins."
"Finally, there’s news, let’s head over and take a look now."
Sun Yan leapt up, stretching his muscles, saying.
"Alright, I’ll arrange the plane right away, and we can depart imdiately," Lin Wan nodded.
After all, the Lin Group is a giant corporation, and by evening that day, Sun Yan had already reached Gangdise.
Local Lin Group mbers had been waiting in SUVs, and as soon as Sun Yan and two others boarded, they were taken to the valley.
On the grasslands, mountains stood.
Seen from a distance, they rose majestically like sky peaks, exceedingly grand.
As a region known as the Spine of the World, it had high altitudes and thin air.
When the convoy arrived outside a valley, Sun Yan saw that a number of tents were erected at the valley entrance.
At this mont, a group of people were guarding near the tents, and upon seeing the convoy arrive, a middle-aged man quickly approached.
