Artificial Sea, Danfeng Bailu Palace—
This was a towering great hall that pierced the clouds, connecting heaven above to the sea below. The glittering golden palace was like the temple inhabited by Heavenly Gods in myths, with long suspended corridors made of a special transparent ice crystal, solid and unmelting even after thousands of years, and incredibly beautiful.
Walking upon them would involuntarily inspire both fear and reverence in any person.
Further up there were ninety-nine steps, each embedded with precious gems, so lavish that the term "magnificent" would be an understatement.
This place was the core of the entire Artificial Sea. To build this Imperial Palace, an endless, churning Artificial Sea was purposely excavated, all merely a complement to the grandeur of the palace.
Emperor Joseph V currently resided here.
In the ten years since his coronation, he had never once stepped out.
