  ————————————————————————————————————————

  As long as it's a fire-based mage, even if it's an apprentice mage, everyone can cast a fireball. A fist-sized fireball is obviously still the level of an apprentice mage, and that's why Lin De didn't mind the other party.

  But... the fireball that can melt steel, however, requires at least a mage of the Magic Guide level to accomplish, which is achieved by strongly compressing the fireball and then forming a high-temperature flame!

  Staring blankly in the direction where the red figure disappeared, Lin De muttered: "No wonder... no wonder he dared to say that, really deep and hidden!"

  It's probably what every adventurer wishes for, after all... as an adventurer, it's impossible to not offend anyone. Once you've offended a formidable figure, if you don't have any powerful friends to rely on, then you're just waiting for death.

  Not to mention Lin De's subtle astonishment, on the other side, under my full-speed sprint, I had already arrived at a small town outside. From the spatial bag, I took out a map and compared it with the one in hand. This should be Bi Na City. Fortunately... this place is not far from Jie Tian City. If I hurry up within 20 days, I should be able to arrive there before the registration deadline.

  Thinking of this, I didn't even enter the city, following the direction indicated on the map, speeding all the way, and finally... arrived at the outskirts of Jietian City on the 18th day.

  The city touches the sky, the city meets the sky, and clouds fill the sky inside and outside the city. This is how people describe the City Touching the Sky. When I stood in front of it myself, I deeply felt the meaning of this phrase.

  Jie Tian City is built on a high mountain, the entire city has entered the clouds, and the outside of the city has been shrouded in mist for years, like a paradise on earth.

  Qidong Shenyue Mountain has a total of seven towering peaks that pierce the clouds. Now... people have built seven cities on the seven peaks, and between the peaks, they are connected by rainbow-like cloud bridges, allowing people to move freely back and forth.

  Standing in front of the city, white clouds swirled around my feet, all the way down to my knees, completely shrouded in a thick layer of white mist. If it weren't for the railings on either side marking the boundary, I might have taken a wrong step and fallen into the abyss, dying without knowing what hit me.

  The top of the seven peaks was covered with a layer of colorful clouds, which was a magical shield used to block the cloud gas. The seven parts of the city were shrouded in seven groups of colored clouds, and even the cloud bridges connecting them had colorful clouds protecting them, looking really no different from rainbows.

  The Heavenly City is really big, with seven parts arranged in a seven-point plum blossom pattern. In the middle is a main peak, which is also the largest of the seven cities. The other six smaller peaks surround it, and rainbow-like bridges connect from the main peak to form a magnificent and mysterious pattern.

  Jie Tian City is the top city in this world, and it's also the highest expression of architecture in this world. I have to admire their imagination and creativity for building such a large-scale city on such a high peak and connecting it with six rainbow bridges that are beyond one's wildest dreams.

  I adjusted my robes and slowly walked towards the city gate, when suddenly... ten orange figures swiftly flashed out of the open city gate, their faces stern as they shouted: "Who goes there? Please show your valid identification!"

  A faint smile, although the Heaven's Castle is built very beautifully, grandly and magnificently, there are not many outsiders who really come here, because... it's really too high and steep, those who can climb up here are absolutely not ordinary people.

  It can be said that Jie Tian City is absolutely a city of masters, and ordinary people will not come here. Except for the fixed residents, most of those who frequently come and go are masters with numbers.

  People's yearning for the sky is born with them, and many retired top masters choose to live in Jietian City as their retirement home. It can be said that without a certain status or position, it is simply impossible to settle down in Jietian City!

  It is said that... Jie Tian City is the city with the best public security in the world. Even a small child on the side of the road, you dare not casually provoke him, who knows if he is the grandson of some sword saint or the nephew of some magic guide, offending one person and you will be in trouble.

  Rare masters elsewhere are everywhere here, and those who dare to be wild in the city that touches the sky have never been seen since its construction.

  Actually... it's probably because of the Arbitration Academy, the Arbitration Academy is the manager of this city. Although this city is located within the borders of the Fragrance Empire, the Fragrance Empire doesn't manage it at all.

  100 years ago, the national power of the Fragrant Empire was once extremely strong. The ambitious emperor attempted to take Heavenly City, but the consequences were disastrous. The great army attacked for nearly a decade without taking a single step into Heavenly City, losing millions of soldiers and suffering severe damage to its national strength. It wasn't until now that it has just barely recovered, otherwise... the situation on the continent would have changed long ago.

  Among the seven continents, the military strength of the Fragrant Continent is the most prosperous, and the training quality of its soldiers is the highest. Especially the beastman warriors within their territory are an invincible force on the continent. If it weren't for that war a hundred years ago, the current world situation would be completely different.

  Since ancient times, Mount Hua has only one road. This sentence is also applicable here. Although this is not Mount Hua, the road leading to this city is also the only one. Except for the main peak, there are no roads that can be climbed on the other six peaks. The towering peaks of thousands of feet are absolutely impossible for human power to climb.

  But that winding mountain road, only eight horses wide, would render even a million-strong army useless, in an embarrassing situation. In the first battle, the Arbitration Academy just rotated 100 arbiters to guard the mountain pass and it was enough.

  At a place called Luò Hún Pō, the terrain was the most precipitous, with a slope of 60-70 degrees and a length of over 200 meters. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers from the Fragrant Empire lost their souls on the spot, hence the name Luò Hún Pō (Soul-Lost Slope).

  No matter how many troops you have, only about a hundred people can attack at the same time. With the power of the decisive maker, in ten years, less than 1,000 people died, and there was no damage to their actual strength.

  Just think... with such a powerful Arbitration Academy guarding, who dares to be reckless here? That's simply looking for death (shit) by carrying a lantern into the toilet!

  Furthermore, with the complexity of the people within Jie Tian City, no one is someone you can easily mess with. There was once a Sword Saint who, after his death, sold tofu in this place and it's said that he personally killed thousands of offenders, yet the Arbiters' Academy turned a blind eye to such retaliation.

  In a city like Jie Tian Cheng, legends are inevitable. There are many down-and-out youngsters who get picked up by some passerby A or B, and the result... Passerby A or B turns out to be some great demon master or sword saint, and after their training, that youngster becomes a legendary figure. Such stories abound, but most of them seem to be mere rumors. Still, I believe there must be at least one true story among them - after all, no smoke without fire, right?

  The documents required to enter the Heavenly City are actually very simple, just the ID crystal cards issued by each country. I didn't have one originally, but General Zi Qian Hao had already arranged for me to get one, so entering the city was no problem.

  After showing the certificate, the guard did not bother me and quietly retreated. I smiled slightly at them and walked into the long-admired City of Heaven!

  Inside the Heavenly City, it's a bustling scene, with people coming and going on the streets, no different from any city on Earth. The buildings on both sides of the road are all six stories or higher, made of stone, with elegant and refined designs. The entire city gives off an extremely fresh feeling.

  Don't think that the City of Heaven is built on a mountain top, so its area must be very small. On the contrary, the City of Heaven is extremely large, so big that you can't see the end at a glance. It's said... when the city was built, the mountain top was cut off by several hundred meters, and the entire city's area is out of proportion. Including the six satellite cities, its total area is astonishingly large. It's said... the population of people living in the City of Heaven is close to 160,000. Think about it, how big can a city with such a large population be?

  After inquiring about the location of the Arbitration Academy, I rushed there all the way, admiring the diverse buildings on both sides of the road while walking. The shops lined up on both sides were really interesting. Although it's not Earth, the tallest building is already 40-50 meters high, very thick and grand, all made of stone structures, looking like they can't be destroyed even with cannons.

  I walked in a straight line for half an hour, and finally arrived at the central location of the main city, which is also where the Arbitration Academy is located. Oh my god! Is...is this really the Arbitration Academy?

  Everyone must remember tomorrow night's add-essence conference! From tomorrow night 12:00-1:00, all friends who leave a message in the new book area will be added essence!
