Song Ciwan continued forward. After traveling some distance and collecting a great deal of Malice and Death Qi, she suddenly saw a massive, straight pillar ahead.
No, that wasn't a pillar. It was clearly a tree trunk, so thick it defied description!
A bustling, intricate web of branches extended from all around the massive trunk. As Song Ciwan followed the branches toward it, she hadn't even recognized it as a single trunk when she first saw it from a distance.
She'd mistaken it for a wall of trees. It was only when she got closer and tilted her head up that she saw the layered, staggered space around the trunk. The gaps between the crisscrossing branches looked random at first, but a closer look revealed what seemed to be an intricate spiral staircase.
The intertwining spiral staircase grew, winding around the colossal, heaven-piercing pillar in the center. Song Ciwan took only one look and suddenly felt dizzy.
