章 221: Chapter One Hundred and Seventy-Six: The Pond

Duanhai Waterfall was teeming with people, and its adjacency to the Myriad Manifestation Sect gave the natural splendor of this waterfall a different significance.

There were noble sons from various sects who came to play, scholars who came to admire the view and compose poetry, and impoverished families dragging their children and kin, hoping to try their luck and gain entry into the sect.

The former two groups mostly lingered in riverside taverns and Hook Bars, while the latter gathered atop the embankments.

To one side the bustling, lively crowd; to the other the sprawling, desolate palace complexes, kept separate by the chasm of the waterfall.

Due to the proximity of the waterfall, low-ranking disciples with weak cultivations used either waterproof materials or engraved waterproof formation patterns on the buildings to prevent dampness from seeping into their bodies, allowing them to walk through comfortably and dry.
