At the edge of the Four Symbols World, the ground was smooth and even, just like its surface, as though hewn by axe and blade.
"Heaven like a dome, earth like a chessboard—this Four Symbols World perfectly embodies that conception..."
Standing before the chasm, Nie Yun sighed with emotion.
Beyond the chasm lay utter darkness, nothing visible, much like the vortex from before. Meanwhile, this perfectly level expanse of land was like an enormous chessboard suspended beneath the heavenly canopy.
Back when he was in the Six Paths of Heaven and Earth, he had heard the saying, "Heaven like a dome, earth like a chessboard." Only now, seeing it with his own eyes, did he realize it was truly so!
"Having found the boundary, I only need to follow this chasm for half a circuit to map out the exact size of the Four Symbols World and locate its center..."
Nie Yun had already made up his mind. Without lingering, he followed the direction of the chasm before him and headed straight ahead.
Since the land of this world was square, as long as he figured out two sides and calculated their angle, he would be able to find its center precisely.
Roar!
As he sped along the chasm, having flown only a short while, a thunderclap-like roar suddenly exploded beside his ears. The originally smooth ground heaved up as though an earthquake had struck!
Startled by the sudden change in the smooth ground, Nie Yun hurriedly stopped and looked up.
Two colossal pillars appeared beneath the ground. The surging airwaves rushing toward him were like tornadoes, nearly blowing him away.
"What is this?"
Nie Yun was aghast.
The ground had risen, revealing two sky-piercing pillars? What was going on?
Could there be other cultivators in this Four Symbols World?
