Constructed during the Tang Dynasty.
A structure that has endured nearly a millennium of weathering and still stands tall.
Later modernized, shedding some traditional customs and gradually fading from public view.
But, its ability to thrive for a thousand years without decline shows its profound heritage, definitely not a scam!
It must have its unique merits.
At this moment, the Observation Platform is crowded with visitors, buzzing with activity.
With the chanting of Daoist scriptures echoing from within the mansion, the sound rich in Daoist flavor drifting across the mountains, visitors closed their eyes and simply listened, trying to perceive its mystique.
Yet, in an instant, the entire mountain began to quiver!
The whole mountain seemed to be shaking!
This was a sudden occurrence!
Visitors on the Observation Platform only felt the ground beneath them jolt, initially thinking it was just some experiencing dizziness, but soon realized that everyone felt it!
The ground suddenly started trembling, and the trees in the forest swayed.
Flocks of startled birds flew out from the woods, and all the creatures on the mountain began to stir.
The earthquake struck suddenly but wasn’t random; the shaking in the mountains continued!
Everywhere one could see wild animals fleeing in panic, birds scared out of their wits filling the sky, creating a terrifying scene!
A woman’s sharp scream ignited the fear in the hearts of the visitors!
Especially for those at the mountain peak, at ten thousand meters high!
How to escape?
Even if they ran down the mountain, it would take a day or two. Where to hide?
But if they didn’t hide, did the shaking mean the mountain was about to collapse?
The visitors climbing the mountain and those halfway up didn’t feel the tremors as strongly, but still heard the terrified screams from the summit.

Only then did they realize the gravity, immediately dashing down the mountain!
Dragon Tiger Mountain towers into the clouds, the highest in the entire mountain range. If it collapses, the scene would be unimaginable!
Yet climbers didn’t give up any chance of survival, sprinting down the mountain despite the countless steps.
Visitors at the summit, however, were already gridlocked, with a stampede even occurring on the descent, blocking the way completely!
This made the visitors on the summit even more terrified, and the tremors grew more intense!
Even the chanting and chanting from within the Celestial Master’s Mansion stopped!
Despair set in, and people began to pray!
Some simply gave up on descending, realizing they couldn’t get down before the mountain collapsed.
Instead, many took out their phones to record the scene.
Some took the time to record their last words and instructions for their affairs before the mountain fully collapsed.
Some couples, originally just dating, now embraced in deep kisses, closing their eyes and ignoring the chaos, trying to savor the brief beauty.
The visitors at the summit went from chaotic scrambling, pushing and shoving, shouting, and fighting, to realize that it was futile, there was no escape.
The atmosphere gradually calmed, and they had to accept the reality!
"Look, the Celestial Master’s Mansion statue has collapsed!"
As visitors gradually composed themselves, their eyes turned to the mansion’s interior.
"The stone sculpture of the dragon and tiger fighting has tilted!!!"
"What does this mean? This sculpture shares its name with Dragon Tiger Mountain. Its tilting and collapse, does it mean Dragon Tiger Mountain will tilt too?"
"Oh God, how could this happen!"
"Are there any Immortals in the Celestial Master’s Mansion? It’s a moment of crisis, quickly come to save us!"
...
The scene erupted into cries of fear, people so scared that their legs went weak and they collapsed to the ground!
Initially, the mountain shook but there were no visible cracks.
Now seeing the central stone sculpture leaning from the tremors, it meant the shaking had reached a degree powerful enough to destroy buildings!
And it began with the most famous landmark, the Dragon and Tiger fighting sculpture collapsing first!
The last shred of faith in people’s hearts shattered along with the statue!
Of course, this scene was also recorded by many visitors and shared online.
Within moments, the entire Great Xia Kingdom was in an uproar!
Weibo, WeChat, Douyin, front-page news on all major apps, turning into trending searches within just a few minutes!
Netizens frantically shared, and major commentators and streamers appeared with their explanations, spreading the news like wildfire online!
The significance of Dragon Tiger Mountain was well-known; seeing the collapse of its statue and the mountain shaking today was stunning!
Numerous seismologists and geologists quickly surfaced with explanations and speculations!
In a short time, there were tens of thousands of articles about "Dragon Tiger Mountain," with billions of hits!
If not for poor internet on the summit, a live stream by the visitors there would have millions of viewers.
Such a short video of the statue collapsing, trees swaying, birds flying away, and animals fleeing, drew the entire internet’s attention in minutes.
"Looks like computer-generated, could it be a PS hoax?"
"Possible, there’s no official statement yet!!"
"Shocking news. If true, it’s unprecedented. Rumor has it there are Immortals on Dragon Tiger Mountain, now their home has collapsed, wouldn’t the Immortals be homeless!"
