As Lu Ya pointed with her finger, the clouds immediately split and transformed into hundreds or thousands of smaller cloud clusters, each no larger than a mung bean. They extended back and forth, up and down, then expanded toward the flanks in overlapping, staggered formations.
Upon closer inspection, almost every cloud cluster bore the shape of palaces, connected to form cities in stern, orderly arrays; or gardens, temples, pavilions, and even tall pagodas and altars.
