There were a total of eight observation platforms in Dragon City. They were located in eight different areas of the city. There was an observation platform above the south city gate where Mo Wen was.
The observation platform was built on top of the city wall that was 3,000 meters tall. If one stood below the city wall, they might not be able to see the observation platform because the city wall was too high. However, if one stood 50 kilometers away, they would definitely be able to see the towering observation platform on the city wall.
With the wooden token, one could enter the heavily guarded Dragon City. However, one had to pay a certain tax to enter and exit Dragon City. It was called a management fee.
Anyone with a discerning eye could tell at a glance that this was another method of the Huatian Palace to earn money. The tax to enter and exit the city gate was not cheap. Each person had to pay 50 Dragon Coins. According to the standards set by the Huatian Palace, one spiritual stone was equivalent to 100 Dragon Coins. 50 Dragon Coins was equivalent to half a spiritual stone.
This was just entering and exiting the city gate. Mo Wen knew how "shady" the Huatian Palace was when it came to earning money. They stripped away layer by layer and plucked everything they got. If this was the case for entering and exiting the city gate, they would certainly spend a lot of money elsewhere.
The people guarding the city gate were all Huatian Palace Executors. There were also high-level Executors. Mo Wen even vaguely discovered that there were many Martial Arts Grandmaster strong practitioners on the city tower. It was almost impossible to sneak in and out of Dragon City.
The observation platform was located on the city wall. Right now, there was a large group of people surrounding the observation platform, discussing it. However, there were very few people who actually walked up to the observation platform.
The observation platform had a domineering name, but in reality, it was just a slightly larger altar. There were mysterious stratagems and runes carved on it. In the center of the altar floated a silver mirror that was as tall as a person. The mirror was simple and exquisite. It emitted a faint glow and looked extraordinary at first glance.
The observation mirror was a very mystical immortal cultivator magical treasure. Usually, only the Huatian Palace had it. Through the observation mirror, immortal cultivators could observe the scene from a hundred or even a thousand kilometers away in detail. Some powerful observation mirrors could even observe the world from tens of thousands of kilometers away.
Mo Wen did not know what level the observation mirror on the observation platform was at. However, it could observe the entire Dragon City Mystery Dimension, so it must not be simple.
Using the observation mirror once cost 10 spiritual stones. There were too few people who were willing to pay such an exorbitant price just to see the entire Dragon City Mystery Dimension.
Although there were many people surrounding the observatory, there were very few people who actually spent money to watch it.
Of course, even if they hadn't eaten pork before, they had seen a pig run. Many people had heard some legends about the city on the dragon's body, the pearl of the goddess … These descriptions of Dragon City made them even more curious about Dragon City. That was why so many people had gathered here.
Occasionally, one or two "tycoons" would appear and spend a lot of money on the observatory. Then, a large group of people would surround them and ask them about what they saw. Those who had seen the full picture of the Dragon City Secret Realm enjoyed the praise and attention. Most of them would say a few words.
Mo Wen directly walked up to the observation platform and threw ten spiritual stones to the guards. Then, he walked in front of the Sky Observation Mirror. With a thought, his entire mind was immediately sucked into the Sky Observation Mirror.
The surrounding people saw a youth so straightforward and efficient, throwing spirit stones without even blinking an eye, they all sighed at the youth's heroic spirit. Of course, there were also quite a number of people who were secretly cursing this young man for being a prodigal from some big family. Even some big sects would most likely not be able to withstand such a squandering of ten spiritual stones.
Tang Zhizhi was also very surprised in her heart. Her employer was a little too generous. Before this, she had already felt that this youth was rich. Now, it seemed that he was even richer than she had imagined.
…
Mo Wen's thoughts surged into the Sky Observation Mirror. The next moment, an ancient aura surged towards him. It was as though he had walked into the Immemorial World. A coiling divine dragon that connected the heavens and the earth appeared in front of him. Mo Wen only glanced at the divine dragon and his mind trembled. It was as though he had seen an ancient god.
Mo Wen's primeval divine dragon was incomparably huge. The entire Dragon City Secret Realm was actually only the size of this god's coiling body. Although the Dragon City Secret Realm was not big compared to a world, it was still nearly the size of two provinces. It was almost hard to imagine how big this dragon was for it to be able to encircle such a large area with its coiling body.
"A thousand miles? Ten thousand miles? That's practically terrifying. "
Before this, Mo Wen had been very puzzled. The Dragon City Secret Realm was such a small space and it was also quite far from the main space. It should be very unstable and in danger of collapsing at any time. But now, he finally understood that the reason the Dragon City Secret Realm had been able to survive since the Immemorial Era and the space had not been destroyed was most likely because of the protection of this primeval divine dragon.
Mo Wen did not know whether this primeval divine dragon was dead or alive. Perhaps it was just a statue, but he could sense that this primeval divine dragon was extremely frightening.
What shocked Mo Wen even more was that the head of the primeval divine dragon stood tall and straight into the nine heavens. On top of the head, there was actually a statue of a goddess. He did not know how tall the statue of the goddess was. Mo Wen also could not see the goddess' face clearly. No matter how hard he tried, he could only see a blurry silhouette. It was as though the goddess was wearing a veil. He had no chance of seeing the face under the veil.
As he continued to look up, Mo Wen's astonishment reached its peak. No wonder Dragon City was called the Dome of the Heavens. The goddess statue had a scepter in her hand and Dragon City was built on top of the scepter!
Even the tip of the scepter could build such a huge Dragon City. It was difficult for Mo Wen to imagine just how big the goddess statue and the primeval divine dragon were.
Also, Dragon City had been passed down from ancient times. What did this Dome of the Heavens have to do with the goddess statue and the primeval divine dragon?
With shock in his heart, Mo Wen slowly retreated from the Sky Observation Mirror. He was still in a trance for a long time. The visual impact was too shocking.
"Elder Ling, do you want to go take a look at this Dragon City Secret Dimension?"
Mo Wen asked Ling Feng as he walked down from the observation platform. It was indeed not a loss to spend ten spiritual stones to take a look at such a magnificent and majestic world. From the perspective of a normal person, they would not be able to see such a magnificent scene. Only by relying on the Sky Observation Mirror or an extremely high altitude could one see the full picture of the Dragon City Secret Dimension.
After Mo Wen helped Ling Feng recover his cultivation, he let him join the Dafang Sect and become a Sect Grand Elder.
"I saw it once 200 years ago. I still have a deep impression of it. This Dragon City Secret Dimension most likely has existed since the Immemorial Age, or even the Immemorial Age," Ling Feng said with a smile.
Back then, he had also lived through an era. Naturally, he had seen the full picture of the Dragon City Secret Dimension.
After getting down from the observation platform, Mo Wen and Tang Zhizhi strolled around the city. Dragon City was very big. It was bigger than any ancient city that Mo Wen had ever seen. If a normal person walked from the south city gate to the north city gate, they would need at least half a month.
The city was divided into the inner city and the outer city. The outer city was no different from an ordinary ancient city. There were many ancient buildings, pavilions, gardens, lakes, pavilions, mansions, rivers, forests, and artificial mountains.
The style of the buildings was very open. There were all sorts of unique designs. They were far more open than the architectural style of ancient Hua Xia. Not all the buildings were square.
"The outer city is no different from an ordinary ancient city. It is just slightly bigger. The inner city is different. Under normal circumstances, one cannot enter the inner city as they please," Tang Zhizhi said.
Mo Wen nodded.
Mo Wen nodded his head. Just now, in the Heaven Observation Mirror, he had seen the entirety of Dragon City. There were no obstructions in the outer city of Dragon City and everything could be seen at a glance. However, in the inner city, many places were shrouded in shadows. He could not see clearly at all. Clearly, someone had used a special technique to block the view.
The outer city was bustling with activity, and a large number of people were moving about on the streets. The inner city, on the other hand, was extremely quiet, and there was almost no one in sight. Mo Wen's deepest impression of the inner city was the square in the center. There was a goddess statue in the square, holding a scepter in her hand. It looked exactly like the goddess statue standing on the Desolate Ancient Divine Dragon's head. The only difference was that this one was several times smaller.
"Young Master Mo, there are usually no people in Dragon City, but during the Martial Arts Circle Convention, countless people would swarm in. As early as a month ago, there were actually people who entered Dragon City.
At that time, it was not open to ordinary martial artists, only to powerful merchants from all over the world … "
As it turned out, a month ago, merchants from all over the world had arrived at Dragon City. Those who could enter Dragon City to do business were naturally not ordinary people. Many of them were large merchant companies from the various Arcana Realms, and some even crossed Arcana Realms. The businesses in Dragon City were all-encompassing, and there were all kinds of businesses. From a dead city to a normal city, the time it took to set up was only a month.
The Huatian Palace would contract most of the businesses to those large merchant companies and then extract high taxes from them. After all, although the Huatian Palace was huge, it was responsible for monitoring the world. It was already very busy, and it could not put its energy into managing a city.
"Young Master Mo, during the Martial Arts Circle Convention, you can stay in Dragon City for a month. First, you have to solve the problem of accommodation. The accommodation in Dragon City is divided into two types. The first type is for a month. This type is slightly cheaper, but the service will be slightly worse. Also, you might not be able to stay in Dragon City for a full month. The second type is based on a single day. You will be paid for the number of days you stay. This type is relatively more flexible, and the quality of service in all aspects is also high. "
Tang Zhizhi said as they walked.
"The accommodation in Dragon City is not cheap. Also, according to the environment, there are five grades: heaven-grade, earth-grade, top grade, medium grade, and low-grade. If it's just the two of us, we can stay in a low-grade house. "
Ling Feng spoke, which was rare for him. He had been to Dragon City many times, so he naturally knew Dragon City very well.
"If it's just accommodation, low-grade is indeed enough. After all, Dragon City is not an ordinary city. Even if it's low-grade accommodation, the conditions will not be bad," Tang Zhizhi said with a smile.
Tang Zhizhi said with a smile upon hearing this. The professional tour guides had residences provided by the Huatian Palace in Dragon City. Naturally, they would not stay with their customers. Also, tour guides also had fixed working hours. They worked about twelve hours a day. It was impossible for them to follow their employers around the clock.
"There is a Shallow Moon Inn in Dragon City. It is not bad. Let's stay in the Shallow Moon Inn." A glint of light flashed in Ling Feng's eyes. He seemed to be especially interested in the problem of accommodation. (To be continued.)
