Chapter 92: The Distant Green Pines and Dark Hills Without Splendor
Standing at the edge of the cliff and looking down, they saw white clouds spreading like an ocean, with mist rolling in.
But if you looked up, Yunding Mountain was right across the misty clouds.
There was only a chain the width of a bowl leading to the other side of the cliff. Amidst the swirling mist, the view on the other side was vaguely visible, yet indistinct. It seemed neither far nor near, as if everything seen were merely an illusion.
“This is the Yunding Mountain Immortal's Chain, likely built by immortals. In any case, to reach Yunding Mountain, one must climb across using this chain,” Cui Nanxi said.
He continued, “The opposite mountain is too steep to climb directly. The only way up is to climb from this side to here and then use the chain to cross. Many people know they cannot cross here, so they simply turn back halfway up the mountain and do not reach this point.”
“Mm...”
The mountain wind swirled, and the mist flowed. The chain was faintly swaying.
“This chain is very thick, so there's no need to worry about it breaking. However, the mountain wind is strong, and the chain sways more in the middle. Even if you have a rope around your waist, it is still extremely difficult to cross,” Cui Nanxi said. “Every year, some people cross safely, while others fall off the cliff and have all their bones shattered. Have you decided if you want to cross?”
“Of course, I will cross.”
