Song Yan followed his memory and returned to the Cave Mansion on Red Leaf Island.
Compared to the cave-like Cave Mansions of the Puppet Sect, the Sword Cultivators' Cave Mansions were mostly bamboo shelters by the water.
At dawn and dusk, the bamboo shelter would reflect together with the breaking dawn and the evening clouds into the Misty Sea, creating slight ripples with the waves, forming creases. But when the wind calmed, it would return to clarity.
This architectural layout was established by the first Sect Leader of the Sword Sect.
The Sect Leader intended to tell every Sword Cultivator that when thoughts arise, there is no need to panic or hurry, for they will eventually pass, and the heart will return to equanimity, just like the rippling reflections seen daily.
As for the Misty Sea, it was the name of this rather large inland lake where the Southern Wu Sword Sect was located.
It is named a "sea" rather than a "lake," which was also decided by that first Sect Leader.
