Vermilion Bird City had a Bright Moon Palace suspended in the sky. A Grotto-Heaven artifact in its own right, it contained a small world. Because of it, people near Vermilion Bird City could sometimes see two moons—an extraordinary sight.
Bright Moon Palace had once received only those at the Half-Step Great Ability level or above. Its standards were exceedingly high.
In ancient times, only Dao-Severing Kings and Ancient Sages had been qualified to enter.
