The two descended to the base of the mountain, this time without stopping, they followed the map left by the blacksmith, and walked straight ahead. The road stretched as far as the eye could see, wide and flat, much like a highway leading to the mortal realm.
Not far from either side of the road stood towering statues, extending on for what seemed like over a thousand, apparently part of the Immortal Palace's defense system.
The two continued along the road, and after about half an hour, they saw the path on the map veering into the forest. They stepped off the road onto the soft grassland, and after a short walk, sporadic trees began to appear. As they reached the edge of the forest, Xiao Buli looked ahead to see the trees within were significantly denser, and a forbidding white mist shrouded the area, a stark contrast to the tranquil and beautiful scenery outside.
