"Is that... a mountain?"
Ji Jingqiu's vision captured a scene that was shockingly wondrous.
Previously, he saw the sky half enveloped in darkness and half close to a cosmic belt, but now, it was clear that what was mistaken for darkness was actually a massive, dense rock stratum.
[It is a mountain, do you remember the Nether Sea we entered in the Great Universe?]
"Nether Sea? Do you mean the Spirit Ocean?"
[Yes, in your terms, it is the Spirit Ocean. Deep within the Spirit Ocean lies a wilderness, and at the very end of that wilderness stands a mountain.]
[And this is Yanfu State, one of the Nine States, so what we see here is a reversed image.]
[What you are seeing now is just the faint shadow of a corner of the mountain, invisible by day, only at night does it reveal itself.]
Ji Jingqiu gazed at the mountain's side profile for a long time before softly asking, "Aunt Mu, has anyone from the Nine States truly ascended this mountain?"
[No, as far as I'm aware, no one has.]
