Above the sea of clouds, cultivators flew past from time to time.
Wait a little longer, and enormous Flying Boats could be seen as well.
The closer they drew to Demon-Suppressing Pass, the more common such sights became.
His straw sandals treading the soft meadow, Li Ping'an looked into the distance as he walked.
Kitten climbed a nearby tree and used a paw to knock the little nuts from its branches.
They fell one by one.

Below, Old Ox caught them, eating each one as it fell, catching and eating, catching and eating...
