Chapter 101: Reduced to Ashes in an Instant
A passage Li Shun had once read in the archives of Dongshan Town surfaced in his mind:
“The land of Qing Province corresponds to the Cangtian of the East and serves as the destination where all waters converge. The waterways beneath heaven gather here in mighty torrents before flowing into the Eastern Sea.”
“The Eastern Sea is in truth the inland sea of Great Qian. Its emerald waves stretch for ten thousand miles, brimming with life. Islands dot its surface like scattered stars, while countless sails travel its waters.”
“Beyond it lies the Heavenly Dao Severance Sea, an endless forbidden expanse connected to the ocean itself. Black mists churn there, and all things are silent and dead.”
Li Shun narrowed his eyes slightly, allowing the vast gale sweeping across the Eastern Sea to strike his face.
“When I traveled from Lengshan to the Imperial Mausoleum, I was exhausted in both body and mind. I never noticed such dense moisture carried within the wind. And after remaining inside this sealed Imperial Mausoleum for so long...”
At that thought, Li Shun suddenly found himself in a daze.
The feeling of having stayed there for a long time existed only from his own perspective.
Half a year in Dongshan Town.
