Eastern Dawn Central Continent.
Divine Capital, Luojing.
As the capital of the Eastern Dawn Divine Dynasty, Luojing's prosperity was unparalleled not only within the Eastern Dawn Divine Dynasty, but throughout the entire Sacred Domain as well.
Across the whole Sacred Domain, one could not find a second city so vast, so flourishing, and so powerful.
That was hardly surprising.
The Eastern Dawn Divine Dynasty was the sole fully unified imperial dynasty among the four great divine continents. The divine continent was the divine dynasty, and the divine dynasty was the divine continent.
The other three great divine continents, meanwhile, remained divided among competing powers. No individual faction possessed more than two Dao Master-level experts, and no single faction controlled more than half the territory of Eastern Dawn.
As the center of the entire divine continent, Luojing was naturally prosperous.
And with such prosperity, Luojing's economy was naturally extraordinarily developed.
The ancient divine Ji Clan, a family with a history stretching back over a million years, naturally possessed immensely complex and sprawling industries that touched every aspect of daily life. Among them, military industrial artifact forging was one of the pillar industries upon which the Ji Clan depended for survival.
The remote outskirts of Luojing's northern district.
There stood a workshop under the Ji Clan's name, called Prosperity Workshop.
Though it bore the name of a Ji Clan workshop, it was in truth merely an ordinary artifact-forging workshop run by members of a Ji Clan branch family.
The workshop enjoyed the Ji Clan's protection and took on a small portion of the Ji Clan's military artifact-forging orders. Although the bulk of the profits was swallowed by the Ji Clan's main branch, through measures such as "refined management" and "reasonable tax avoidance," it still managed to live fairly well.
At this moment.
