The Imperial City of the Great Cang Dynasty, Celestial Capital.
The night was as black as ink, the stars hidden from view.
The majestic city walls, towering fifteen zhang high, were like a colossal black dragon prostrating itself upon the plains, silently guarding this pinnacle of worldly power.
A faint light flowed across the surface of the walls, forming a gigantic Dharma Net that covered the entire city.
It served for both protection and surveillance.
Qi Yun stood atop a barren hill ten li outside the city, gazing at the great city that lay prone in the darkness.
The armor of the guards patrolling the city walls reflected the scattered lights, resembling scales shifting on the great dragon's back.
From within the city, the solemn sound of bells and drums announcing the hour faintly drifted on the silent night wind.
"A secular Imperial City, yet its Array is rather interesting."
