The Dangerous Land lay at the junction of three provinces. Towering mountains rose beneath a blanket of fog, leaving a vast expanse of white.
Jiang Ping arrived, riding on flames. Experiencing flight and earth-travel for the first time, he looked down at the magnificent Mountains and Rivers and the wonders of heaven and earth.
He saw rows of armored soldiers patrolling around the Dangerous Land.
"This Dangerous Land is fairly rich in resources, with no shortage of rare treasures and exotic beasts. That's why it's heavily guarded, with several Martial Dao Golden Core experts stationed here."
So said Xie Wuji. Such remarkable lands rich in resources were not uncommon in Great Li, and they were also a major source of resources for the Imperial Court to nurture talent.
Some Glorious Families privately owned one or even two or three such lands, which was one reason their families remained prosperous.
Then he glanced at Chen Qingyan and said, "Once you two have children and your descendants multiply, you may one day forge a new Glorious Family that lasts for a thousand years or more. You might even come to possess one or two Dangerous Lands like this."
Before long.
The three landed in a small city beside the Dangerous Land.
The place had been packed with people lately. Geniuses from the three great Martial Academies and some from the National Academy were competing for Supreme Qi and all kinds of resources from heaven and earth, drawing widespread attention. Members of prominent families and Martial Academy students from other provinces had also come to join the excitement, hoping to exchange resources.
Jiang Ping entered the city and took in its bustling prosperity.
People streamed along the narrow streets. Many were young, every one of them standing tall and bearing themselves with distinction.
