Now, regarding the first ending for Shi Potian, he would certainly retire in seclusion with Axiu. Where would that seclusion be?

And the Snow Mountain Sect should be in Qinghai or Gansu, since it's close to the snowy mountains, meaning the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau over there. As for Motian Cliff, its location is unknown, but Ferris wheels—well, one could figure out it's mostly around Sanfeng Lake, near Wuyue.
