Year 1011, Heaven's Sovereign Peak, Hundred Sky Mountain
At the back of the mountain, a colossal arena enclosed by towering walls on all sides had been erected. Upon these walls, thousands of spectators from every sect had gathered for the Azure Sky Competition, an event held only once a year and celebrated more like a grand festival within the Hundred Sky Mountains.
At the open ground below stood Javier, one of the royal wardens of the Snowbane Sect.
With a booming voice infused with Soulforce, Javier announced, "Everyone, stand and bow! The King and Queen of Hundred Sky Mountains, Aurelion El Snowbane and Lunaria El Snowbane, are entering the arena!"
His resounding voice rendered most of the crowd silent. Except for the members of the Rockbane and Flamebane Sects, the people rose from their seats as an overwhelming Soulforce pressure descended upon the arena.
