Chapter Title: Dark Heaven Village
Penglai Mountain!
It was one of the legendary Daoist Three Great Spiritual Mountains and was known as a fantastical existence alongside Yingzhou Mountain and Fangzhang Mountain. There were many places in the world named after Penglai Mountain, but according to Mang Liang's knowledge, the true Penglai Mountain did not exist in the human realm and was located in another dimension. Mang Liang explained calmly.
"Baek Woong. As you know, the human world is a concept derived from the ancient notion of a round heaven and square earth—that is, the sky is round and the land is square. You're aware that the vertical axis of sub-meridian and the horizontal axis of mao-you define the human world."
"I know."
Mang Liang nodded.
"Moreover, the four directions are the threads that fix the round heaven and square earth, symbolizing the four cardinal points in models like the celestial plate or the timekeeping plate. Therefore, the convergence of the human world and the four directions at chen signifies the place where the energy of chen, symbolizing the east, is strongest."
Mang Liang, who had explained without even taking a breath, stated firmly.
"Furthermore, at the center of the timekeeping plate lies the heavenly realm, and to the east of the heavenly realm is Penglai Mountain, one of the Three Great Spiritual Mountains. There's no other place that could serve as the gateway to the Ogeocheonmun."
