After registering outside the Spirit Awakening Platform building, Ren Ye headed deeper into the mountains, a lone ox. Before setting out, he had carefully "questioned" the Myriad Spirits Garden disciples, learning the approximate locations of the Sixteen Main Peaks and silently sketching a rough map in his mind.
Although he was on the Ninety-Ninth Peak, he did not actually need to cross seventy or eighty peaks to reach the Twelve Immortal Mountain Dao Pavilions. The entire Myriad Spirits Mountain range had a concentric structure that rose progressively inward. The outer mountains were like "courtiers paying homage," collectively supporting the inner sixteen peaks. Thus, viewed from outside, the arrangement began with the one hundred and eight peaks, then continued inward to the Sixty-Four Peaks, the Thirty-Two Peaks, and finally the Sixteen Main Peaks, like a "champagne tower" built from mountains.
This meant Ren Ye's route would not simply cut across the mountains horizontally. Instead, he would gradually move toward the inner ring, perhaps reaching the Twelve Immortal Mountain Dao Pavilions after crossing twenty or thirty peaks. This undoubtedly shortened the journey considerably. But for a large water buffalo that had only just gained enlightenment, it remained an enormous challenge. As the saying went, a mountain that looked close could run a horse to death.
