“Rumble....”
He Xiuyuan floated over the Great Marsh, flying towards the waterfall.
Before He Xiuyuan could even get close to the waterfall, he already heard the massive roaring sound coming from it.
The sound of the waterfall hitting the water was like thousands of horses galloping, incredibly loud.
Even from a slight height above the ground, He Xiuyuan could vaguely feel the earth trembling.
“This waterfall… just listening to the sound is quite astonishing….”
He Xiuyuan looked up in surprise.
Following the direction of the sound, he saw a towering cliff appearing abruptly in front of him.
And on the cliff, there was a wide waterfall, falling directly from a high place.
The height of this cliff was actually quite a bit higher than Donghua Mountain, which He Xiuyuan had just descended from.
Seeing this, He Xiuyuan’s face showed a hint of admiration.
Regardless of how the ginseng gatherers spoke of this waterfall, one thing they definitely didn’t lie about.
This waterfall was truly majestic and wondrous.
Even He Xiuyuan, a Cultivator, felt incredibly small in front of this waterfall at this moment.
“Let’s go closer and take a look!”
Watching the waterfall from afar, he could already feel its grandeur, and He Xiuyuan thought of going closer to examine it in detail.
Just the sight of this waterfall in front of him made one feel that the trip was worthwhile.
When He Xiuyuan arrived about a hundred meters in front of the waterfall by manipulating water, he was even more shocked.
The closer he got to the waterfall, the higher the cliff in front became.
By the time he was less than a hundred meters away, the cliff in front of him was like a Sky Abyss.
The waterfall fell from the Sky Abyss, then crashed heavily into the Pond below, the roaring sound incessant at this moment.
“What a magnificent waterfall….”
He Xiuyuan looked up at the waterfall, his eyes full of admiration.
As He Xiuyuan quietly admired the waterfall in front of him, the distant sunset began.
When the setting sun dyed the distant clouds golden, the waterfall directly in front of He Xiuyuan turned fiery red under the sunset’s glow.
From afar, it looked like a waterfall of flames.
“This waterfall is truly beautiful….”
He Xiuyuan’s figure floated, and in a few breaths, he arrived at the bottom of the waterfall, watching the massive splashes of water as the waterfall descended from above.
Looking at the Pond here, it was probably formed by the waterfall’s impact over many years.
This Pond should be very deep.
He Xiuyuan stood still in front of the waterfall, admiring the beautiful scenery, and after the distant sun completely set, a crescent moon slowly rose.
And at this moment, He Xiuyuan realized that looking up from below, with the myriad stars appearing, this waterfall truly looked like the water of the Milky Way, flowing downwards.
What the woodcutters and others had said before was indeed true.
“The night is dark now, tomorrow I’ll go up to the top of this cliff to see.”
Thinking this, He Xiuyuan found a large stone nearby to sit down and Cultivate, preparing to fly to the top of the waterfall tomorrow to take a look.
Given how wondrous this waterfall was, he might discover something by going to the top.
With this thought, He Xiuyuan immediately sat down cross-legged and began to Cultivate.
The roaring sounds in his ears were constant; if it were any other ordinary person, they would certainly not be able to rest in such an environment.
However, after He Xiuyuan entered a state of meditation, he very simply excluded these sounds.
The next morning.
Before He Xiuyuan could even open his eyes, he heard some movements outside the waterfall.
Listening to the sounds outside the waterfall, He Xiuyuan immediately opened his eyes in surprise.
Then He Xiuyuan saw a scene that greatly surprised him.
He saw countless birds around the waterfall, flying and chirping, occasionally darting through the massive waterfall.
Some birds, when passing through the waterfall, were directly swept into the water by the powerful current.
And within the waterfall, there were some fish, struggling to swim upwards against the waterfall.
However, the force of the waterfall was too great; as soon as these fish swam up a short distance, they were violently slammed down by the waterfall.
Some fish that swam higher were even directly snatched away by the birds circling around.
Seeing this scene, He Xiuyuan’s eyes showed a hint of surprise.
“What is this…?”
He Xiuyuan stood up, looking at the scene before him, feeling a bit strange.
With such a large waterfall crashing down, it was truly odd to see these fish constantly trying to swim up it.
Besides that, the birds constantly flying around the waterfall also seemed very strange.
Although he knew they were foraging.
But the danger of foraging here was too high; if they weren't careful, they could be swept into the Pond.
With such a large waterfall crashing down, it would be certain death.
But under these circumstances, these birds still seemed incredibly determined.
It seemed they didn’t care if they would be swept into the water; what they cared more about was whether they could successfully forage.
“Is there something above this waterfall that attracts these fish?”
“And these fish, in turn, attract these birds?”
He Xiuyuan stood up and looked up, watching the circling birds and the fish constantly leaping and swimming against the current, feeling strange in his heart.
“Let’s go up and see!”
After scanning the unusual phenomenon in front of him, He Xiuyuan immediately decided to fly to the top of the waterfall to take a look.
With this thought, He Xiuyuan didn’t hesitate at all, immediately manipulating water to fly upwards.
It took He Xiuyuan most of a morning to fly all the way up the cliff, reaching the top of the cliff just before his Spiritual Qi was depleted.
The height of this cliff far exceeded He Xiuyuan’s expectations.
He had initially thought that with his Dao cultivation, flying up would be more than enough, but he hadn’t expected to nearly exhaust his Spiritual Qi.
After He Xiuyuan successfully landed on top of the cliff, he turned his head to look around.
From the cliff top, the Great Marsh appeared even clearer than when viewed from Donghua Mountain.
Most importantly, from this angle, He Xiuyuan felt that the shape of the Great Marsh seemed a bit peculiar.
It was as if… someone had once pressed a finger, forcefully creating this Great Marsh.
If that were truly the case, how profound would the Dao cultivation of the Cultivator who had pressed that finger be?
He Xiuyuan’s gaze fell on the Great Marsh, and after a moment of contemplation, he looked behind him.
On top of this cliff was a huge lake.
The water in the waterfall flowed down from this lake.
“This lake doesn’t seem to have anything special about it, so why do the fish below insist on swimming up here?”
After surveying the area around the lake for a moment, He Xiuyuan didn’t find anything unusual.
This situation rather surprised He Xiuyuan.
Looking at the fish in the Pond below, they seemed to be desperately trying to swim up here, so he had thought there might be something unique about this lake.
Now, at a glance, he felt that besides the nice scenery, there was nothing else special about it.
