Li Xiu rode the little train through the darkness. After a short while, the surrounding darkness gradually receded, revealing the still-familiar sight of the Jade Tunnel.
But this time, Li Xiu didn't see any platforms. The little train traveled through the Jade Tunnel for a short distance before the tunnel vanished, as if emerging from the Mountain-Piercing Tunnel. Li Xiu's eyes brightened, and he found himself in a vast world filled with sunshine, bird songs, and fragrant blooms.
Bang!
Li Xiu landed hard on the ground, the little train beneath him mysteriously disappearing.
He quickly stood up and surveyed his surroundings, discovering he was on a grassy slope covered with green grass and flowers of various hues. His gaze could stretch far into the distance, yet aside from a few small trees, there was no sign of towering mountains, let alone the Jade Tunnel.
"Where is this place?" Li Xiu didn't recognize this location, at least he'd certainly never been here before.
