The enormous Flying Ship parted wave after wave of clouds, and the view ahead suddenly opened up.
A boundless marsh spread out before every passenger's eyes, drawing heartfelt exclamations of admiration from many.
As the Flying Ship was about to reach its destination, the passengers all came out onto the deck to behold the magnificent scenery of the Great Marsh of Green Lotus.
Wang Chen was among them.
He had entered Wancheng City on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, then boarded this Flying Ship bound for Lotus City, the capital of the Southern Region.
Lotus City lay at the heart of the Great Marsh of Green Lotus!
The giant vessel continued onward for another half hour, and everyone saw an immortal city built in the middle of a lake.
Lotus City!
The immortal city seemed to float atop countless acres of emerald waves. Viewed from above, it resembled a blooming lotus, each petal representing a district, linked to the others by arched bridges.
Layer upon layer of lotus petals encircled a majestic palace.
Wang Chen knew that it was the Southern Domain Palace of the West Sea Sect, governing the spiritual lands across hundreds of thousands of miles.
The highest authority in the southern part of the West Sea Spirit Domain!
According to procedure, as a newly promoted Inner Sect Disciple of the West Sea Sect, Wang Chen first had to report to the Southern Domain Palace.
Then he would register his name, verify his identity, gather qi, and establish his immortal registry.
Finally, he would use the Teleportation Array of the Southern Domain Palace to travel directly to the Inner Mountain Gate of the main sect in the Central Region.
Clutching the Jade Tablet in his hand, Wang Chen suppressed the ripples rising in his heart.
