To the south, where the Bing Fire lay.
Unlike the snow-covered pine forest in the north, the island's southern reaches were a desert. The mountain where the Bing Fire lay was actually a tall dune formed entirely of sand and earth, with not a trace of life anywhere in the region.
Xiao Yuanjun broke through the Sword Qi Gorge. Supported by the two Divine Abilities, [Fivefold Body-Rending Qi] and [Ninefold Harmonizing Qi], she strolled through the air with her hands clasped behind her back.
