Chapter 554: Arrival at Dragon’s Foot
They crossed the valley’s harsh terrain before emerging on a lush plain extending as far as the eye could see.
They enjoyed the scenery at midday, using the blanket of lush grass to share a hearty meal before resuming their relentless charge to the Jin Long sect.
On their way, they crossed dense forests, swam against the current of deep rivers, and toured picturesque villages. They tried local dishes, bought a few trinkets for Misha and gawked a few times at cultivators cutting through the wind like battle aircraft atop their shining words.
Each experience brought its share of fun and eye-rolling moments as they grew much closer with the guardians’ training out of the way.
In this ambience of shared trust and discovery, hours melded into days until a week flashed by in the blink of an eye.
And today, they finally stood at the foot of a mountainous city.
Adam gazed up, his wide eyes sparkling in awe at the visible life force swirling around the nine peaks piercing the sky like spears. Yet, his heart hastened in his chest when he saw the center one.
The clouds veiled its peak in a shroud of mystery, while broad buildings covered its flattened mountainside as if they were overlooking the city below. Red, blue, brown, silver, and red waved on the dense barrier encasing them in its protective embrace in a vibrant show.
Despite the distance, he saw the golden dragons carved on the roofs and doors. They shone elegance, power, and riches, giving the sect’s buildings an incredible style.
As he gawked at the fantasy scenery, Misha failed to contain her excitement and tapped on his shoulder repeatedly.
"Let’s go, let’s go! I want to see if all the cow’s stories about cultivators are true!"
