The Imperial Capital was a world apart. The height of its gates alone completely dwarfed those of Vast Origin City. The towering city walls could hold back a mighty army, and the massive gates exuded a sense of majesty and pressure.
It wasn't just the domineering architecture; even the guards were at the Essence Pill Stage Level. Lin Xuan had thought Vast Origin City was quite impressive, but the Imperial Capital was on another level entirely—a massive leap upward.
Guards at the Essence Pill Stage might seem like an exaggeration, but it was only natural. The Imperial Capital was the most prosperous city in the Soaring Dragon Empire, and maintaining order was a monumental task. With experts as numerous as the clouds, guards below the Essence Pill Stage would be utterly incapable of handling unexpected incidents.
