848 The Goddess Scepter (1/2)

Dragon City had a total of eight observation platforms, located at the four cardinal directions and four intercardinal directions of Dragon City respectively. At the top of the southern city gate where Mo Wen was, there was one observation platform.

The observation platforms were built on top of the three thousand meter tall city walls. If one stood at the bottom of the city walls, they would not be able to see the observation platforms at all because the walls were too high. If they were standing fifty kilometers away, they would surely see the towering observation platforms on the city walls.

With their identity tokens, they could enter the heavily guarded Dragon City. However, entering Dragon City required a certain tax, euphemistically called a management fee.

Sharp-eyed people naturally could tell at a glance that this was one of the methods for the Huatian Palace to accumulate wealth. The payment for entering or leaving through the city gate was not cheap. Each person had to pay fifty Dragon Coins. According to the standard set by the Huatian Palace, one spiritual stone was equivalent to a hundred Dragon Coins. Fifty Dragon Coins were equal to half a spiritual stone.

This was the amount it cost just to enter and leave through the city gate. Mo Wen already knew that the Huatian Palace had many shady ways to accumulate its wealth that would slowly chip away at one's pockets. If just entering and leaving through the city gate cost this, other places would certainly need a lot of money.

Huatian Palace Executors guarded the city gates. They were all high-ranking Executors, and Mo Wen also noticed that there were many Martial Arts Grandmaster strong practitioners on the towers. Secretly entering Dragon City was almost impossible.

The observation platform was located at the top of the city wall. Right now, there was a large group of people around the observation platform discussing things, but very few people actually walked up onto the observation platform.

The observation platform sounded grand in name, but in reality, it was just a slightly larger altar. Mysterious stratagems and runes were carved on it. There was a silver mirror as tall as a man floating at the center of the altar. The mirror was quaint and exquisite, emanating a faint glow. At a glance, one could tell that it was extraordinary.

The sky mirror was a type of very mysterious immortal cultivator magical treasure that usually only the Huatian Palace had. Using the sky mirror, immortal cultivators could observe everything in detail within a hundred or even a thousand kilometers. Some powerful sky mirrors could even observe distances ten thousand kilometers away.

Mo Wen did not know what rank the sky mirror placed on top of the observation platform was. However, to be able to observe the full view of the Dragon City Mystery Dimension would require a powerful object.

Using the sky mirror once cost ten spiritual stones. With such an astronomical price just to take a look at the full view of the Dragon City Mystery Dimension, there were too few people that were willing to spend such funds.

Although many people surrounded the observation platform, few people actually spent money to look in the sky mirror.

Of course, even if they had not experienced the actual thing first-hand, they could still experience it in other ways. Many people had heard legends that described Dragon City as a city on a huge dragon and a pearl of a goddess. This made them even more curious about Dragon City which was another reason why so many people had gathered here.

Occasionally, one or two people with big money would appear, throwing down their payment and stepping onto the observation platform to have a look. Then, a large group of people would surround that person and inquire about what they had seen. The people who saw the full view of the Dragon City Mystery Dimension quite enjoyed the attention. Many would say a few words.

Mo Wen walked straight onto the observation platform and gave ten spiritual stones to the person on duty. Then, he walked up to the sky mirror. His mind shook and his entire consciousness was immediately sucked into the sky mirror.

The surrounding people saw that a youth had so simply and neatly thrown down the spiritual stones without even batting an eyelid. They were surprised by the youth's willingness to spend. Of course, there were also quite a few people who cursed this prodigal youth. They did not know which large clan this youth was from. He had simply thrown down ten spiritual stones. Even some large sects could not stand such squandering.

Tang Zhizhi was also surprised. This employer of hers was a bit too generous. Before this, she had already felt that this youth was loaded. Now from the looks of it, he was more loaded than she had imagined.

Mo Wen's consciousness surged into the sky mirror. The next moment, an ancient aura blew over him as though he had walked into an immemorial world. A spiraling Divine Dragon that connected the heavens and the earth appeared in his vision. Mo Wen merely glanced at the Divine Dragon and his heart trembled, as though he had seen an ancient Divine Soul.

Mo Wen saw that the Divine Dragon was absolutely gigantic. The entire Dragon City Mystery Dimension was actually just the size of one spiral of this Divine Soul as it wrapped around the city. When compared to the entire world, the Dragon City Mystery Dimension was not very big, but it was still almost as large as two provinces. The dragon was able to wrap around such a large area with its body spiraling once. It was almost impossible to imagine how big this dragon actually was.

”A thousand kilometers? Ten thousand kilometers? It is practically horrifying.”

Before this, Mo Wen had been doubtful. Such a small space like the Dragon City Mystery Dimension, that was also so far from the main space, should have been very unstable and in danger of collapsing at any moment. But now, he finally understood. The reason why the Dragon City Mystery Dimension had survived since the Primeval Age and had not been destroyed was most likely because of the protection of this Ancient Divine Dragon.

Mo Wen did not know whether this Ancient Divine Dragon was dead or alive. Maybe it was just a statue, but Mo Wen could feel how absolutely frightening this Ancient Divine Dragon was.
