Remembering a City Because of One Person

"My God! What is this?!"

Everyone was stunned as they stared at the beam of light that suddenly shot straight into the sky.

"Could it be that someone has entered the world of the book?" a young cultivator holding a Squirtle wondered, his mouth agape.

"Impossible, we didn't see any books, and this is red light. All the books in the Mysterious Bookstore have golden effects when they appear in the world within the book." Someone immediately refuted this guess.

"Call out!"

Just then, another beam of pure white light shot out from the Mysterious Bookstore, also heading towards the sky, seemingly chasing after the red beam of light.

"Oh my god, another one!"

If the appearance of the first beam of light led some to speculate that the world within the book had been triggered, the appearance of the two beams of light completely dispelled such speculation, as this was indeed no longer a prelude to triggering the world within the book.

"Could it be that some kind of treasure has been discovered?" someone boldly speculated.

"It should be said that a more advanced book has been published," someone corrected.

"Yes! The Mysterious Bookstore is Bookstore, so if it's going to have any treasures, they must be related to books." Everyone nodded in agreement.

"Call out!"

Just as everyone was speculating, another beam of light shot out from the Mysterious Bookstore. Unlike the previous two, this beam was deep blue, and within it, one could vaguely see surging waves—it felt like the ocean.

"This is the third one!" Everyone stared in shock at the three beams of light, each a different color, shooting towards the sky. They were so high that even powerful figures at the Spirit Saint realm couldn't see how high they were with the naked eye.

"Boom!"

It's unclear how long it lasted, but then a tremendous roar resounded, and the entire dark sky suddenly began to change color rapidly. The dark clouds over Dubian Town disappeared, and the sky itself vanished, revealing a city in its place.

"A celestial palace?" a cultivator exclaimed in surprise.

"No, it should be a mirage. I read about it in a book at the Mysterious Bookstore. It's said that under certain circumstances, the sky reflects a scene from somewhere in this world," a middle-aged, refined man said uncertainly.

"Somewhere? Do you recognize this city in the heavens?" one of the cultivators couldn't help but shout.

"Never seen it before."

I've never seen it either.

"Having traveled through five kingdoms for many years, I have never seen this city before."

Everyone shook their heads in disapproval.

"Then it probably isn't a mirage," a cultivator sighed, shaking his head.

"Could it really be a celestial palace?" At this moment, one of the cultivators suddenly mentioned the guess made by the first cultivator.

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent, staring at the city that had inexplicably appeared in the sky. What did the Celestial Palace mean? It meant immortals. But in the past 30,000 years, no immortals had ever appeared in the Azure Dragon. Immortals and Celestial Palaces were simply too far removed from the cultivators on the continent.

It was so distant that even if they saw it, they wouldn't dare to believe it, or even want to believe it.

"No, I feel like I've seen this place before!" Suddenly, a cultivator who was not very old but had a very weathered appearance shouted. This cultivator was quite strong and full of power, but his face looked like it had been through many hardships, which was not in line with his age.

"Oh? Young brother, where have we met before?" A powerful figure in mid-air asked in a deep voice. His voice was like muffled thunder and a booming bell, clearly indicating that his cultivation level was also frighteningly high.

Not only this important figure, but all the cultivators in the vicinity turned their attention to this cultivator, hoping he would provide an answer.

The young cultivator felt a little embarrassed seeing so many people staring at him. His weathered, dark face flushed red, and he instinctively clutched the hem of his robe. He finally mustered the courage to say, "If I'm not mistaken, that city should be in the Zhao State."

"The Zhao State?" The group exchanged bewildered glances.

"That's right, it's in the Zhao State. This city is located in the far south of Zhao State. Because the city is small and its geographical location is too remote, it is not well known to everyone. But I think everyone here should have heard of the name of this city." As the young cultivator spoke, he exuded a strong sense of confidence. It was hard to tell whether it was the courage that his words gave him or the city he mentioned.

"We've heard of that before?"

"That's impossible! I have absolutely no recollection of it, how could I have heard of it?"

"Yes, I've been to almost every town I've ever heard of."

A group of people shook their heads, not believing they had ever heard of this city.

"No!" The young cultivator's face flushed, his fists clenched, and he loudly interrupted everyone, saying, "You've all heard of it; it's the hometown of Grand Dean Cang Lan of the Vast Academy!"

"The hometown of Grand Dean Cang Lan?" Everyone was initially suspicious, then their faces turned pale with shock.

"I understand, Lan City!"

"Lan City!"

"Lan City!"

"That's right, it's Lan City!" The young man exclaimed excitedly as he looked at the city that appeared in the sky. Lan City was also his hometown.

"It's actually Lan City!" Everyone was shocked.

The city of Lan City might never have been known to the world before, but everything changed because of one person, making the city famous.

This person is none other than Cang Lan, the Grand Dean Vast Academy!

This legendary woman was despised by the world, yet dared not provoke.

Her story of breaking with her father because of her union with a spirit beast became a topic of gossip and ridicule.

Yet, his appointment as the Grand Dean the Vast Academy hundred years ago has awe-inspiring influence throughout the Azure Dragon Continent.

This legendary woman single-handedly suppressed the world's prejudices against her and lived the life she wanted.

Her hometown Lan City, also became known to the world because of the appearance of Cang Lan.

"I never expected it to be Lan City," an old man sighed, shaking his head in silence.

"Since it's Lan City, could it be related to Grand Dean Cang Lan?" a cultivator suddenly asked.

"I think I saw the Grand Dean go into the Mysterious Bookstore this morning," another voice shouted.

Just as everyone was speculating whether Lan City's appearance was related to Cang Lan, all the customers in the Mysterious Bookstore were blasted out, all the books automatically flew back to the shelves, and the Bookstore was filled with red, white, and blue auras, which filled the entire Bookstore.

Three of the Four Spirit Pillars were enveloped by their respective colored gases, and the beams of light emanated from these three pillars.

Inside the huge Bookstore, Ma Feifei was the only person, constantly running back and forth between three pillars, occasionally punching them.

"Stop it, you Laozi of Laozi! I'm not signing this! Stop it now, you bastard!"
