Chapter 100: The Piercing Heaven Sect
Vermilion City is located within the Piercing Heaven Sect’s domain, it’s also the closest city to the sect and the one with a teleportation station. The city is surrounded by a mountainous range, with some peaks so high they seem to pierce the clouds, as if trying to piercing the heaven.
The city’s name comes from the vermilion-colored diamonds scattered around its vicinity. At sunrise and sunset, the sun’s light causes these diamonds to radiate a beautiful glow, making the surrounding mountains appear like a sky full of stars.
Due to its proximity to the Piercing Heaven Sect, only a three hour journey by carriage, the city attracts many demonic cultivators who aspire to join the most powerful force in Demon Territory and seek opportunities. As a result, Vermilion City is a gathering place for powerful cultivators from various backgrounds, all seeking the opportunities provided by the city and the sect.
In conclusion, this is a city of both stunning beauty and a place to seek power. At this moment, four figures wander along the bustling streets, two men and two women. They are none other than Aldrian and his companions. Having arrived not long ago, they are now searching for an inn. The sun is already low in the western sky, and sunset is fast approaching.
"This place is really beautiful and peaceful. I’d love to experience living in this city if I could," Sylphia said.
"Yes, even though there are so many powerful people here, the city seems orderly," Eleine added.
"This city is under the Piercing Heaven Sect’s influence, and its proximity to the sect spells death for anyone who causes trouble here," Xin Haotian explained.
Aldrian looked at his surroundings—at the people, the energy in the air—and was amazed by the abundance of Heaven and Earth energy, as well as the high average cultivation level of the city’s residents.
"It’s really incredible. The energy of Heaven and Earth here is abundant, like I’m standing near the World Tree. Was this city built on top of an energy stone mine or something? No wonder the average cultivation here is so high, and so many people flock to this place."
