The Gate of the Mysterious Realm

Summary

Fang Bo Zheng, the 34th clan chief of the Fang family fortress, confronts Shi Mu, who is initially skeptical of his identity after he claims to have escaped from an imposter, Jin Wu Gui. Fang Bo Zheng recounts how Jin Wu Gui, whom he had trusted, betrayed him and stole his identity using a poison mist and a strange incantation.

Fang Bo Zheng reveals that the ancient sword of the Guque is a family heirloom and the key to accessing the 'Ming Shui Jue.' Shi Mu, recognizing the potential of the technique for his own cultivation, agrees to help Fang Bo Zheng reclaim his position in the Fang family in exchange for the 'Ming Shui Jue' and a promised reward of a thousand-year fire ginseng. They prepare to return to the Fang family fortress, where Shi Mu is met with skepticism from the Fang family disciples but remains focused on his goal.
