After hearing the Heavenly Seal Saint's words, Fang Chen sensed something was amiss. He looked up at Saint Chenwu and saw a faint smile on his face.
The Heavenly Seal Saint immediately asked, "Senior Chenwu, was the pavilion you saw built on the mountain summit?"
Saint Chenwu nodded slightly. "Yes!"
"Hahaha!"
The Heavenly Seal Saint burst out laughing. "Daoist Friend Fang Chen, did you hear that? Did you? Senior Chenwu said the pavilion was built on the summit. My eyes weren't playing tricks on me!"
After hearing Saint Chenwu's answer, Fang Chen frowned and looked up the mountain again. Sure enough, there was more mountain behind the pavilion.
Fang Chen asked Myna bird, "What about you? Can you see the mountain too?"
Myna bird nodded slightly. "Yes, I can see more mountain behind the pavilion!"
"That's impossible," the Heavenly Seal Saint said at once. "Senior Chenwu said the pavilion is built on the summit, so we must have seen wrong—or we're hallucinating!"
Then the Heavenly Seal Saint looked up at Saint Chenwu. "Isn't that right, Senior Chenwu?"
Saint Chenwu shook his head slightly. "Actually, none of you saw wrong, and none of you are hallucinating. Beyond this pavilion, the mountain reaches a height of one hundred thousand zhang. That's a special threshold. Not everyone can see the mountain above it. Only those who can see it can keep climbing. I can't see the peaks above one hundred thousand zhang, so I can't go any farther!"
The Heavenly Seal Saint was astonished. He had never expected Red Stone Mountain to be like this.
Hearing this, Myna bird asked Saint Chenwu, "Fang Chen and I can see the peak behind the pavilion. Does that mean we can keep going?"
"Yes!"
Saint Chenwu nodded slightly to Myna bird.
"Haha, wonderful!"
Myna bird couldn't
