Xiao Jie looked at the screen filled with white light, his heart thumping intensely.
Once the white light on the screen faded, his character appeared on a tranquil mountain path.
Glancing at the map marker — Mountain and Sea Painting Realm.
Looking up, he could see towering peaks, with palace pavilions hidden in the clouds and mist.
Xiao Jie took a deep breath and started walking up the mountain.
As he walked, he saw clouds swirling around; the surroundings were ethereal, possessing an out-of-this-world ambiance.
The path underfoot wasn't made of mundane earth and stone, but rather smooth, mirror-like white jade, reflecting the sky and clouds, winding upwards and disappearing into denser mist.
On both sides of the path were truly "strange flowers competing" — these flowers were not of the mortal realm, with golden stamens and purple petals as large as bowls, as thin as a cicada's wings, exuding a pearlescent glow.
