Yang-Sphere

John followed behind Zuri, who clearly knew where she was going. A main bridge led towards the sect below, sloping gradually downwards for a dozen miles before reaching the closest building. The bridges were several hundred yards wide, allowing for many cultivators to traverse it in both directions. While most were entering the sect, occasionally some walked opposite his direction to leave the sect.

The bridges were made of a smooth black stone of unknown origin, in which detailed carvings covered the walkway, forming a ceaseless image of battles, beasts, mountains, valleys, stars, and more across the entire bridge. The rails of the bridge were lined with ornate statues, each statue the same; an exquisite depiction of a nine-petalled lotus. Thousands of them lined each side of the bridge, which John could also spot in other, distant sections of the sect.
