The Sea Serpent's Spine, a name given to the mountain range that separated the Gutian Kingdom from it's Western neighbor.
It's highest peaks were even higher than the ridge dividing the Azure Eagle Empire in half, and it stood like an imposing wall, weathered by time but still unbroken. There was no vegetation at all, as the bare cliffs were made of solid, dark rock.
And while Gutian Kingdom's side was elevated above sea level, the closer to the mountains the steeper the slope, when Wu Long approached the foot of the mountain there was still a wall of solid rock covering the Western Sky.
He did not stop at the bottom and started scaling the wall as Spiritual Qi began moving along his feet, ascending higher and higher until he started reaching cloud levels.
During his sprint his eyes were surveying the rocky cliffs around, as his irises flashed with profound patterns. Soon, his pupils slightly dilated, and he changed direction.
*Sreeech*
Whew~
A bit late today, but a major development for Wu Long XD
And for those who undboutedly will appear if not now but in the future, yeah, all of this is not correct in terms of physics as the principles of how elements work are only loosely based on how it happens in the real world and not accurate. And there should not be such a thing as Cold Qi because cold is not an element bu the absence of heat or energy. But then again, there's no lightning-summonning rocks or flying humans in real world either. XD
This is fundamentally a cultivation novel and a work of fiction and I reserve the right to play fast and loose with how things work in this universe as long as it makes sense in the already established principles of the story. i.e it has to not contradict the logic of this story and the laws of the universe of the novel, as long as that is true it can contradict the logic of the real world or other novels of the same genre. XD
The fact I sometimes use logic and arguments close to how real physics works or that appear to be based on actual interactions between forces of nature for storytelling purposes does not mean I will pretend it is actually how things work or that I know how things work cause I don't (well not in detail anyway) XD
Any explanations about how things work in this novel are only applicable to the universe within this novel (or any of my novels with the same universe if I ever decide to write a shared universe novel hehe) XD
