An Unexpected Plaza

Approaching the peak of the mountain, Di Tou couldn't help but slightly squint his eyes. Based on his previous guesses, this Crying Mountain should actually be an inactive volcano that had blown up sometime in the past, so logically, approaching the lip of the volcano, there should be a large crater. But as they approached the top, he became less and less confident in his guesses. 

Looking around, although the temperature seemed to have gone up somewhat, the top of the mountain was much more flourishing than the bottom.

The bottom of the mountain looked desolate, as if nothing could grow in the ground after being razed to the ground by the overwhelming force of nature, and coils of stone marred the mountain's surface. But coming to the top, the mountain seemed to become a paradise, with small, delicate buildings that blended in naturally with the grand scenery of clouds, woods, and water.
