Zhou Muhuang looked up at where the imperial palace was and said, "Let's get up."
Everyone continued moving upward after he said that, moving along that stairway conjured from divine light. It was like they were moving up to a real heavenly court.
They stood high up in the sky, which didn't look all that far away. However, that was only because they were standing under divine light, and the space had nothing else for reference, which made them feel like common people looking up at the stars in the sky.
That was the imperial palace reigning throughout the entire Divine Prefecture, the very top of the heavens.
They finally saw someone after some time. A door appeared before them, leading to the gates of the Imperial City, where formidable guards stood over the gates.
That Imperial City was something that one could not step in from outside, as it was shrouded in terrifying divine might. Entrance into the city required passing the heavenly gates.
