With Feng Yaohua in front of him and Feng Qingru following from behind, Atlas was led over a hill and into a clearing that soon transformed in a scene of grandeur.
As it turned out, the entire hill and the entire clearing were false. The Trial of Fire stood just outside the Phoenix Palace's main gate, only, the main gate was not something just anyone could see.
Feng Yaohua had already led Atlas into a courtyard area that was beyond the gate. He could see before him the grand scene of a palace made of ruby and shining gems.
"This is…quite a spectacle," Atlas said, not knowing how else to describe it.
Feng Yaohua smiled wryly.
"Well, if it was a matter of vanity, we wouldn't be hiding it. It just kind of ended up like this somehow, and we as the future generations can only deal with it."
Atlas nodded in understanding.
