The Qi headquarters stood in a beautiful stretch of the Great Wilderness. Mountains towering into the clouds, jewel-like lakes, and vast emerald plains lay in an orderly arrangement. Countless islands floated overhead, and flocks of cranes flew joyfully through the sky, making the place look like an immortal paradise. These floating islands were also known as Divine Islands, and the Qi headquarters had been built upon them.
