Chapter 673: A Good Show to Watch
Lake Mountain was about twenty-odd li from Shangjing City. It wasn't too far; a horse carriage could make the trip in about a shichen.
Located in the Mingnan Mountain Range, it was lush with vegetation. Commoners lived at its foot beside a lake, which gave Lake Mountain its name. The water and slopes flowed into one another, naturally forming a realm of their own.
In the center of Lake Mountain Lake stood a multi-story pavilion. According to the locals, it had once been a gambling house built by a prince many years ago to amass wealth and host lavish entertainment. Everyone who stepped foot inside was, without exception, wealthy gentry.
Later, during the Tianshun era of Great Jing, war broke out, and the pavilion shut its doors. After the King of Xiang took control of Great Jing and learned the site had been a gambling den, he ordered it sealed. It had remained closed ever since.
Looking at it now, the pavilion was completely dilapidated. Devoid of human presence for so long, it had lost its vitality and quickly rotted away. Even the iron pillars supporting it from beneath the water were somewhat unsteady.
And this pavilion was the venue for the Investiture of Immortals Assembly.
Whoever reached the top floor first would win. Whoever fell into the water first would lose.
Those were the rules.
It seemed like a hasty decision, but the official originally in charge had actually drafted numerous rules. However, the chaos that erupted during the distribution of the Tokens made him change his mind.
