Chapter 457: Shrine At The Imperial City
This was the first snow at the capital. It carried the cold breeze from the northern river engulfing the entire forbidden city.
It was around three in the morning so it was still dark. The old pine trees along the road were covered with snow. “White” leaves were scattered everywhere from the cold gale and filled the entire street.
One could see many thirteen-year-old youths practicing a fist technique on top of the snow. They had heavy lion gauntlets in order to build up strength in his arm. Everyone had the dream of becoming a master; this was even truer at the capital. Thus, all the young lads were training hard.
Because of their aspiration, they worked much harder than others.
A large and extravagant imperial dragon was being dragged by a rhino-dragon across the large street, pulling a huge chunk of snow along its path. The youths cultivating on the sidewalks fell down once after another.
One martial artist shouted: “See?! A real master could ride the most expensive carriage, have the most beautiful women, enjoy the highest status. If all of you want to rise, you must train harder! Keep going!”
The youths had determined gazes while staring at the high-speed carriage. They started cultivating again with greater spirit.
Feiyun was the one inside. The carriage crossed through the main street into the Highest Gate. It entered the outer region of the imperial palace.
Before gaining entry to the sacred royal ground, one must worship at the Highest Temple.
It was still dark but there were more than one thousand beautiful carriages waiting outside the palace. Many nobles got off and conversed with each other before heading for the imperial gate.
A lively scene like this rarely happened. Not just the male prodigies but even the golden daughters and wives from the marquis factions came as well. These people came well-dressed today, especially the women. All of them took their most beautiful spirit pets and put on all the pieces of jewelry and ornaments.
The prodigies were gallant with a surging will to fight. Some had qi images rising to the sky already.
