The airship flew through the clouds. The scenery below changed from cities to vast wilderness, and finally to towering mountains that pierced the sky.
In the distance, a mountain peak that was higher than all others appeared. It was shrouded in auspicious clouds, and divine light shot up into the sky from time to time.
"We have arrived!" Elder Qing announced.
The airship landed on a huge platform. As soon as they stepped down, they could feel the spiritual energy here was dozens of times denser than in the outside world. Just breathing it felt refreshing.
"Wow! This place is like heaven!"
"Look at the buildings! They are made of crystal!"
Anthony closed his eyes and took a deep breath. "Master, the energy here is very pure. It's a good place."
"Yes, this mountain sits on top of a spiritual vein. No wonder they chose this place."
They followed the crowd into the main area. There were already thousands of people gathered. The noise was like thunder.
Suddenly, a bell rang. DONG!
The sound waves spread out, silencing everyone instantly.
An old man flew up into the air, standing on a cloud. He was the host of the Assembly.
"Welcome, young heroes from all regions! I am the host of this Assembly! The rules are simple! Show your strength, win glory, and obtain treasures! Now... the first event begins: The Mystic Realm Opening!"
