Chapter 1018 - Half-Moon Nunnery
This clue meant everything to Liu Wuxie because it confirmed what he had long suspected.
Still, he held back from hoping too much. The ice peak looked untouched by humans for countless years. The stairs had likely been carved by hand thousands of years ago.
They quickened their pace, climbing step by step along the ancient stone stairs.
The mountain was massive, reaching nearly ten thousand meters in height. As they ascended, the aurora grew brighter. They felt like they could reach out and touch it.
By nightfall, they still hadn't reached the summit, though it loomed just ahead. They dug out a small cave for shelter, as camping in the open would've meant suicide in this harsh environment.
The aurora lit up the starry sky in breathtaking brilliance.
A streak of light flashed across the sky above the mountain.
"Quick, look! A shooting star!"
As the shooting star blazed across the sky, the trio suddenly spotted a structure atop the mountain. Despite being blurred, they had all seen it.
"You guys saw that? I think I saw lights at the summit," Ji Qiu exclaimed, rubbing his eyes, unsure if he was imagining things.
When they had climbed the mountain, the sky had gradually turned dark, blocking the summit from their view. But the shooting star earlier had lit up half the sky, enough to reveal the rough outlines of the summit.
