With Tang Jie's reminder about the rules, Wei Tianchong no longer wasted time sightseeing. The convoy's speed picked up, and as it was protected by a Spirit Master, after an arduous journey, they finally arrived safely at the capital of the Sageheart Kingdom, Wanquan City.

As the kingdom's capital, Wanquan City was overflowing with grandeur that Canglong Prefecture simply couldn't compare to. The city was prosperous and thriving, the roads wide enough for eight carriages to run abreast. The buildings on both sides were richly ornamented, and exuded a luxurious air. Even many of the pedestrians wore silk brocade and carried themselves in an impressive manner.

The carriage rolled smoothly across the stone paving. At almost every intersection was a fountain, each one in a different form.

It was said that there was a river running beneath Wanquan City, so there were many spring sources throughout the city. Some bored person once tried to count them all, but they reached three thousand and still weren't done. Thus, it came to be known as Wanquan City (Ten Thousand Springs City).

There was a lake at the foot of the mountains that circled around them like a jade belt. It was called Jade Belt Lake, and it had also been created by that Great Power of the Basking Moon Sect. All of the Clear Sky Mountains were circled by Jade Belt Lake, and it was said that this lake was populated with man-eating monsters so that no boats except the Immortal ferries could cross it.

In other words, the Clear Sky Mountains were actually Basking Moon Academy. Once one was inside Basking Moon Academy, one would need approval from the academy to leave.

At the foot of the mountains, one could see large numbers of houses built up along the lake. This was the famous "Student Forest", the residences for the students of Basking Moon Academy for when they lived outside of the academy.
