The journey from Golden Crow City to the Iron Dragon Sect's mountain gate in Torch Dragon Territory spanned almost the entirety of You Province, totaling nearly ten thousand kilometers. Zhang Tie and the others had left Golden Crow City on the morning of February 6. After a leisurely day of flying, by a little past seven that evening, everyone aboard the airship had just finished dinner. As darkness had only just fallen, the airship had already arrived at the Iron Dragon Sect's mountain gate.
Nearly half a year had passed without anyone noticing since the Iron Dragon Sect's founding ceremony on August 18 of last year. After nearly six months of intensive construction, the main peak of the Mysterious Heaven Eighteen Peaks in the Swallow Return Mountains had already begun to display the majestic bearing of a great sect.
Upon hearing that they had reached the Iron Dragon Sect's mountain gate, everyone aboard the airship curiously came out onto its open deck to view the scenery below.
The Mysterious Heaven Eighteen Peaks lay within the Swallow Return Mountains, over two hundred kilometers south of Mysterious Heaven City. They were the dragon's head of the entire mountain range. With their strange and magnificent scenery, they had been a celebrated scenic spot in the Swallow Return Mountains within the Northeast Protectorate even before You Province had formally been elevated to provincial status. After inspecting Torch Dragon Territory, Zhang Tie had selected the area around the Mysterious Heaven Eighteen Peaks as the site of the Iron Dragon Sect's mountain gate.
Viewed from the sky, Mysterious Heaven Peak, the main peak of the Mysterious Heaven Eighteen Peaks, was now covered from foot to summit with an unbroken expanse of buildings. Courtyards, pavilions, grand halls, guard forts, covered corridors, gazebos, mountain paths, and stone steps
