Chapter 1672: An Abyss That Cuts Heaven and Earth
Ye Qing cast his Magia and summoned his paper horse carriage once more. Then, he drove a human, an ape and a corpse into the rocky desert toward the north.
No real danger or Stranger resided in the rocky desert. Therefore, they did not need to worry about safety. It did not matter if they were traveling fast or slow either. It would take nine days and nights for them to reach their destination regardless, so there was no need to move quickly.
That said, they couldn’t just stay in one place. If they didn’t move, then they would never make it out of this desert.
Nine days came and went in a flash. When the tenth day arrived, an abyss that spanned east and west and penetrated heaven and earth appeared before their eyes.
“So this is Bei Yuan. How vast!”
The abyss was so long that it spanned from one end of the horizon to another. Its length could not be measured. Its depth was bottomless as well. It looked like an unholy chasm that split the supposedly boundless earth into two. It looked magnificent and mysterious, gorgeous yet dangerous.
“‘It is a line that separates the human world and Primal Chaos; an abyss that cuts both heaven and earth.’ How grand! How magnificent! It truly is an eye-opener,” Feng Qingyou remarked with a heartfelt sigh.
“It is a line that separates the human world and Primal Chaos; an abyss that cuts both heaven and earth.” was a poem people used to describe Bei Yuan. It stated that Bei Yuan was like a chasm that separated the singular, boundless earth into two; the line that divided chaos and order; the void and the human world.
In fact, to go further north from Bei Yuan was to enter a space of nothingness and chaos; a lawless and orderless realm where dangers and chaos were the dominant themes. The world to the south of Bei Yuan was considered the “human world” because yin and yang existed in harmony, and the four seasons cycled orderly. Here to the south of Bei Yuan, there were order, rules, and life.
So, what existed to the north of Bei Yuan?
No one knows. After all, no one had ever made it to the other side of Bei Yuan alive.
Because of this, some people called Bei Yuan the Border of the Earth. To put it simply, Bei Yuan was the northern border where the land came to an ultimate end.
