Chapter 101 - 97: Fallen Dragon Pit
"I don’t know whether to praise them for being highly trustworthy with money or to say that the corruption in Great Tang has reached such a level that the Imperial Court is beyond salvation. How laughable, lamentable, and tragic it is that a notorious bandit like me can actually buy safety under the Emperor’s nose!"
Seeing this, Li Ping’an could only laugh and cry. Without turning his head, he walked into Chang’an City and officially entered the Capital City of Great Tang.
Being new to the place, he traveled down the road, taking in the sights as he moved along and asked for directions. Soon he learned the layout of Chang’an City.
Chang’an City is divided into the Outer City, Imperial City, Palace City, Imperial Garden, Marketplace Districts, and Golden City—six areas in total.
The Imperial City is where the Imperial Clan resides, and the Palace City and Imperial Garden are where the Emperor, Empress, concubines, and underage princes and princesses live.

The Golden City is a newly constructed area for cultivation by Emperor Li Gai, located near the Imperial City. All the palaces and courtyards inside are made of gold, extremely luxurious.
Within the Golden City, there is an Ascension Platform that is ninety-nine meters tall. It’s the tallest structure in Chang’an. On top of the platform is the Ascension Tower, where Emperor Li Gai engages in mystic cultivation. From this platform’s summit, one can look down upon the entirety of Chang’an City, a pinnacle of power overlooking all living beings.
