Unlike the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, which had withdrawn at the height of its success ten thousand years ago, choosing to leave the vicinity of Heaven Dou City outright and find a valley to live in seclusion, the Clear Sky Sect's location had something of the great recluse hiding in the city about it.
After all, their sect was near a great mountain not far from Heaven Dou City.
Not only was this peak majestic, its slopes also looked exceedingly precipitous. At a glance, almost three sides of the entire mountain rose vertically, as though sheared by a blade. Only one side was gentler, and even that was only relative to the other three.
Ordinary people would have found it truly difficult to climb. Some vegetation grew only on the gentler side; on the other three, even soil could not accumulate, let alone vegetation.
Rolling mountains surrounded this precipitous peak, but even the tallest among them reached only halfway up its slopes.
A sea of misty clouds drifted slowly above these mountains. Only the part of that precipitous peak below the sea of clouds was visible; to see what lay above, one had to pass through the clouds.
It had to be said that perhaps it was precisely because their home stood behind such a natural barrier that, when the Sun Moon army razed Heaven Dou City a few years later, they had not tried attacking Clear Sky Castle while they were at it. Otherwise, the balance of power on the continent might have been reversed right then.
