Chapter 522 - 516: Black Lotus Pill
In the True Spirit Domain, there are three super Martial Cities of enormous scale, namely Zhaoling, Tongg Yuan, and Qinglan Martial City. However, these three massively scaled super Martial Cities are referred to by the native martial artists of the True Spirit Domain as Martial Capitals, Royal Cities.
The general meaning is essentially Martial Capital or Martial Arts Capital. As for why they are called Royal Cities, the reason is even more straightforward.
Because within these three super Martial Cities, there are Kings of the Establishment Realm stationed, and not just one; although there are few who have seen them.
Of course, this way of referring to them as Martial Capitals or Royal Cities is not taboo.
Because in the True Spirit Domain, due to the extremely rich Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, there are many martial arts masters, and even ordinary people possess immense strength. Over thousands of years of evolution, nations have already disappeared.
In their place have risen numerous powerful Sects and gangs; naturally, the concept of taboo has also disappeared.
This situation is actually easy to understand; it’s just that it has evolved even more thoroughly than in the Black Dragon Domain. Due to the power of martial arts, the imperial authority within the Black Dragon Domain has become very weak.
In places like the Black Water Empire, the change of the Emperor’s throne requires the approval of the Sect Master of the Qiyun Sect. If you, as the Emperor, appoint a Crown Prince, but the Sect Master of the Qiyun Sect doesn’t nod in agreement, it all comes to naught.
If Ye Zhen had not left the Black Dragon Domain, the Emperor of the Black Water Empire would probably have needed to consult an additional person for his opinion when wishing to appoint his heir.
The three super Martial Cities of the True Spirit Domain are all built against the backdrop of mountains, notably mountains rich in Spirit Veins. Take Qinglan Martial Capital, for example; it is constructed at the foot of Lanshan Mountain within the Yunlan Mountain Range, one of the ten major mountain ranges in the True Spirit Domain.
