On the vast earth of the Southern Continent, there is a river that has flowed unceasingly, said to have existed for fifty thousand years upon the Southern Continent.
This river spans more than half of the Territories of the Southern Continent.
Within the river, numerous fierce birds and beasts lie hidden, their cultivation varying in strength. Rumor has it that beneath this river lies a Dragon Palace, where resides a peerless old demon, a Flood Dragon.
This river is known on the Southern Continent as the Manwu River.
The terrain on the Southern Continent is hard to traverse. Even when warriors take to the skies, they easily lose their way, so many warriors crossing the Southern Continent choose to traverse along the Manwu River.
But the Manwu River is extremely perilous.
A legend has circulated for many years along the Manwu River: The living walk on the river's surface, the dead walk its bed; better to enter the Corpse Burying River than the Manwu River.
