Throughout the journey, Shen Long could see a multitude of buildings, some built atop cliffs, some nestled on the peaks of mountains, and others located near cold pools.
He observed valleys and cliffs, ponds and forests, wetlands and swamps, grasslands and volcanoes; these terrains were all transformed by formations and served as the dens for spirit beasts and spirit insects.

Many disciples traveled by riding spirit beasts and spirit insects; very few of Qianling Sect's disciples used treasured items for transportation.
