The Mirage Realm spreads across the river, Pei Ye traces upstream against the current.
"Do you know Xuanpu well?" After a while, he asked, "Is the Mass Jade Mountain ahead?"
"Just by walking like this, you won't reach Mass Jade Mountain." Ji Man's voice returned to normal, but the emotion seemed pervasive.
"Why?"
"Mass Jade Mountain does not stand there waiting, only Xi Tingxin can illuminate its presence."
"You mean, Mass Jade Mountain is not a real thing either?"
"It's truly like an illusion, seemingly false yet real." Ji Man said, "Most of the time, searching all over Xuanpu won't show any trace of it. Under the collapse of Xiting, only two things will lead to its appearance—above is the illumination of Xi Tingxin, below is the completeness of Xuanpu Jade Pond."
Pei Ye realized this might be the person most familiar with everything about Xiting, and he carried a sense of the Emperor's overlook and pride, neither hiding nor bothering to lie.
