Ember Lotus Peak seemed to look nothing like its name suggested. Zhiran could see that it resembled any other peak of the Divine Cauldron Sect, with incredible height shrouded in clouds and mysterious spiritual energy converging from everywhere.
However, when he approached the peak where the Peak Master resided, he finally understood why it was called Ember Lotus.
Zhiran saw that the tall mountain was directly carved through the middle by the vast Silvermist River, its waters glimmering like liquid silver.
At the very top lay a still pond, and from its bed a colossal lotus had sprung, its massive petals shrouding the peak.
The most striking part was that although it rose from water, its petals burned with brilliant fire, flickering without consuming themselves, casting sharp shadows on the river below, a breathtaking contrast that perfectly embodied the name Ember Lotus.
"Peak Master, I have… new disciples to the peak to report."
