Blue Card Starry Sky

Chapter 183 City Lord's Anniversary

This morning, Tianlong City was shrouded in mist, with the corners of mountain peaks faintly visible in the distance. Flying beasts soared through the clouds, creating a peaceful and idyllic scene! At this moment, it truly was a paradise on earth, breathtakingly beautiful!
The rising sun shines brightly on the earth, and the swirling clouds and mist reflect a dazzling array of colors, creating a captivating scene.

"Ouch~~~"

A long black dragon shot straight up from the clouds into the sky. It soared away and gradually disappeared into the sea of ​​clouds and the horizon.

Lan Tian got up early and went to the rooftop to cultivate. Here, no one could disturb him, and he could enjoy the beautiful scenery of Tianlong City, observe the surroundings of the shop, and gather information from all sides. The rooftop of the NIO Chamber of Commerce had naturally become Lan Tian's private territory, which he explored every day!
He had heard and seen that dragon's roar clearly. It was indeed a colossal black dragon, soaring straight into the sky from the clouds, its immense power shaking the entire city! Its power was astonishing! This made Lan Tian feel a danger he had never felt before!
"Tianlong City! There really are dragons there!"

Before anyone knew it, Yi Mengying also came to the rooftop, watching the black dragon disappear into the distance with deep emotion!
"There's more than one black dragon; there are even more powerful ones here. Tianlong City truly lives up to its reputation as the territory of the dragon race!"

Lan Tian didn't turn around, and said seriously. This was the first time they had encountered the true form of a dragon since they arrived here.

"Alas! We are still too insignificant! Compared to the dragon race, the human race is nothing but ants. We have no advantages whatsoever, and we don't even know what the future holds."

Yi Mengying said to Lan Tian, ​​clearly feeling a bit disappointed, affected by the black dragon's oppressive aura.

"We have our own lives, and what lies ahead is the greatest uncertainty, but we must persevere and move forward."

Blue Sky also felt the pressure. The power of the Wilderness Domain was too strong. The Dragon Clan was truly a hegemon!
"Let's go! Let's go downstairs for dinner."

"it is good!"

……

The city lord of Tianlong City is Long Xiao of the Dragon Clan, one of the Ten Supreme Emperors of the Desolate Domain. It is said that he is from the Azure Dragon Clan, and his dragon roar shakes the heavens and the eight directions, making him a hegemon of the Desolate Domain. Therefore, Tianlong City has always been under his radiance, and no force dares to challenge his dragon might.

Today, Tianlong City is bustling with joy and celebration. This is a major festival here, the Tianlong City Lord's Memorial Day, held once every five years. A grand carnival is held every five years to commemorate the contributions of successive Tianlong City Lords, who dedicated their lives to the freedom and prosperity of Tianlong City.

After a thorough investigation, Lan Tian learned that Long Ba, the former city lord who made the greatest contribution to Tianlong City, was the most prestigious city lord of the Dragon Clan, a true hegemon of the Desolate Region, and still an unforgettable hero in the entire Desolate Region.

However, the specifics are unclear. The title "Dragon Overlord, Invincible War God" perfectly encapsulates Long Ba! Therefore, the people of Tianlong City deeply respect their former city lord, Long Ba. The current city lord, Long Xiao, is also popular, but not as famous as Long Ba.

The streets and alleys were filled with a festive atmosphere, and people from all walks of life gathered together to commemorate this important festival.

The biggest event is when the city lord opens the main city to all the people of the city for worship, veneration, and recreation; it is the only day that people can enter the main city. On this day, everyone in the city will go to the main city.

The sun shone brightly, high in the sky, and the mist that had enveloped the city gradually dissipated, revealing the magnificent and resplendent main city buildings. It was truly a fairyland, shimmering with golden light; Tianlong Mountain was majestic and awe-inspiring. A stone staircase stretched from the foot of the mountain to the summit, leading directly to the main city. The main city was the city lord's cultivation and living area; no airships or unauthorized flights were permitted here. Entry to the main city required walking up the stone staircase from the foot of the mountain.

"Wow, such a grand festival! We want to go too, to see what the main city looks like."

Yi Mengying and Wei Ying were very excited. They both hoped to enter the main city and pay their respects to the city lord.

“Okay! We’ll all go, everyone go, we’ll close for a day. Everyone from the NIO Chamber of Commerce will go to the main city together, and all expenses will be reimbursed.”

Now that Lantian had spoken, the NIO Chamber of Commerce erupted in excitement. Everyone was eager to rush off to the main city. Su Qi was especially excited; this was the first time he'd felt so relaxed since arriving in Tianlong City—a rare moment of rest!

After changing their clothes, everyone followed the crowd and headed towards the Tianlong Mountains.

Along the way, there were crowds everywhere, a lively and joyous scene! The children were especially happy, everyone was excited and delighted to be able to go out and play!
Along the way, Yi Mengying clung to the blue sky, her joyful spirit seemingly returning to what it was before, brimming with happiness!

At the foot of Tianlong Mountain, various airships and horse-drawn carriages were parked in front of the stone steps. The poor and the rich were treated equally and all had to walk into the main city, queuing up at the foot of the mountain to ascend.

People from all over the city came here; it was truly a sea of ​​people, with crowds densely packed as far as the eye could see!
The stone steps leading up the mountain are very wide, about thirty meters wide, allowing dozens of people to climb at the same time. Waves of people surge in, and the journey from the foot of the mountain to the top is several miles long. Several pavilions and towers have been built in the mountains for people to rest when they get tired.

At the foot of the mountain, Lan Tian and his companions encountered a group of people with unusual attire. These were all young people with aristocratic bearing, each accompanied by servants. Lan Tian noticed that many of these servants were human, and they served him meticulously without seeming out of place. Their relationship was very harmonious, and he couldn't detect anything unusual, which puzzled Lan Tian greatly.
I wonder where these young nobles come from. Why are they here for Tianlong City's anniversary? It seems they're not locals and don't belong to Tianlong City. This important festival is truly a major event for the wasteland, with even nobles from other regions participating.

After an hour of arduous climbing, everyone finally reached the summit and saw the real main city.

At the top of the mountain is a large stone-paved plaza, filled with towering ancient trees. The spiritual energy here is so strong that it is very suitable for cultivation and improving one's cultivation level.

After passing through the square, we arrived at a large complex of buildings, filled with magnificent palaces and open-air sculptures.

After passing these palaces, a circular sacrificial platform comes into view, circle upon circle. People come here to burn incense and worship. Here are the memorial tablets of the ancient war gods of Tianlong City, the heroes of this place. Everyone burns incense and worships along the way, after all, they are the ancestors of this place.

After passing the altar, you arrive at a 30-meter-wide street, lined with food and drinks—delicious dishes offered free of charge to the public. Enjoying these delicacies is a must-do activity for everyone attending the Tianlong City anniversary celebrations; it's an event no one wants to miss, just for the sake of these treats.

After a hearty meal, everyone was full of energy and extremely excited. Next, they would visit the Imperial Palace of the City Lord of Tianlong City.
