Yuan Peninsula, Part I

The Earthbound Gateway was a discreet and unassuming entrance into the Heavenly Sword Sect’s realm, concealed amidst the natural beauty of the surrounding landscape. It was not the entrance most people thought of when they imagined entering the sect. That honor belonged to Heavenly and Earth Gateway, which Wu Jian had entered through when he first came here. Most people who came into the sect for the first time used that gateway.

Located deep within the lush forest and nestled at the base of Heavenly Sword Mountain, this portal provided access to disciples traveling by land. It resembled an ancient stone archway. Sword motifs and symbols signifying the sect’s legacy were carved into the stone. These carvings illuminated the surroundings with a soft, ethereal glow at night, guiding travelers to its entrance. They glowed even during the day, but they were less visible.
