“I hope you will be returning here again, your Majesty,” Long Weiyuan said, standing in front of the flying boat that was ready to take away Alex and the others to the Gold Kingdom.

The Goldheart City was about a half-a-day ride from where they were right now, and the scenic route they were taking would most likely make it last longer.

Alex planned on having it take the entire day.

“Of course,” Alex answered the Azure King. “I have many more Daos that I plan on learning from here.”

After Godslayer’s words, he had planned on no longer randomly learning many Daos. But he still wanted to learn a few that would aid him in the long run.

Learning Dao after becoming an Immortal was said to be a rather difficult task, but Alex was sure he could do it. It was more important to make sure that he made it to the Immortal Realm than anything else.

The ship flew away, making its way to the destination.

Along the path were many other cities that they had to fly over. Alex saw the various cities and was quite amazed by how different they all were from each other and from the cities in the Emerald Kingdom.

It took them nearly 11 hours to cross the Azure Kingdom and enter the land of the Gold Kingdom. It became apparent when they entered the Gold Kingdom as they had to pass a small mountain range that spanned all the way to the west.

From what Alex remembered of the map he saw, this mountain range would bend and end up becoming the mountain range that blocked off the Silver Kingdom from the rest of the kingdom.

The mountain range had a lot of vegetation and similarly also held a lot of beasts. There were enough beasts here despite the people that hunted them or tried to capture them to sell.

However, the ones that did so were people with weaker cultivation bases as the beasts here weren’t particularly strong, especially when compared to a location like the Beast Paradise.

Crossing the mountain range, Alex saw a region that was somewhat sparse on trees. It wasn’t exactly barren, but it wasn’t fertile either from the looks of it.

From what the general that was with him said, this region’s soil had a lot of metal in the soil, so they weren’t very good for plants. 

Alex had started feeling the drop in temperature at this point, and a bit later, he saw the first sign of snow.

The land was a little more fertile here and the snow was not as much. However, the further north they went, the more snowy it got.

At some point, they even came across a snowstorm. It wasn’t dangerous enough to hamper their journey, but it did stop them from seeing anything around them.

The ship continued on its path as well-experienced soldiers flew it forward. When they came out on the other side of the snowstorm, one of the soldiers exclaimed.

“We are here!” she said. “Goldheart City.”

Alex quickly looked up front as well and saw the city in the distance. 

Surrounded by soaring mountains, in the middle of a thick settlement of snow, there lay a city that steped in golden splendor. The morning sun shined on the city, reflecting a deep golden light everywhere around it, making it look all that more mystical.

Alex stood and looked at the city more closely.

The city was large, surrounded in a nearly invisible barrier that stopped excessive snow from getting in. The inside of the city was dense with buildings, all of which were golden in color.

When he got close, he realized that it wasn’t just golden in color, but rather that it was actual gold. The buildings were covered in gold.

In fact, the entire city was covered in nothing but gold at every place that it could be covered with gold.

“So this is Goldheart city, huh?” Alex said. “Also known as the city of Gold.”

The ship landed in the snow where a path had been made by cultivators and carriage that regularly made their way to the city.

Alex got off and looked at the city that was in front of him. From this close, the magnificence of the city only increased in everyone’s eyes.

The two elders next to him were also just as surprised.

ραndαsnοvεl.cοm Alex’s eyes moved to the mountain that surrounded it to the north. The mountain looked non-descript. In fact, the entire mountain range was of barely any importance to anyone’s eyes when the city of Gold stood in front of them.

However, any decently informed person would be interested in this mountain range and even place quite a bit of importance in this mountain range, which was what gave birth to the City of Gold.

After all, this was the Golden Mountain range. The mountain underneath which was a large gold vein that spanned hundreds of kilometers.

“Your majesty!” a man walked up to him and the others. “Welcome to this humble one’s city.”

“King Tan, it’s nice to see you again,” Alex said with a smile.

“It is a pleasure of this one to meet you again, your majesty. Thank you for gracing this one’s kingdom,” the Golden King said.

King of the Gold Kingdom, Tan Qiu was a lean man with a thin mustache. He didn’t speak more than what was necessary and liked to remain unassuming. 

The clothes he wore, while covered in gold, still somehow didn’t made him look like a royal at all. His clothes were also a little baggy and gave no indication as to the king’s physical shape on whether he was muscular or not.

The two members of the Head legion army greeted Alex as well as the elders behind him. Once the simple greeting were passed along, they all got onto a carriage to go to the palace.

As soon as they all entered the city’s borders and entered the massive formation, Alex and the rest immediately felt the change in temperature.

The city was so much warmer on the inside.

“Are you running some sort of formation to generate heat in the city?” Alex asked immediately.

“No,” Tan Qiu answered. “The city has a formation to keep heat, but not to generate it.”

“Oh,” Alex said. “Then this warmth, where does ti come from?” 

“There is a layer of magma beneath this land that heats it up at all times. That is where we got it front,” the King said. “The formation is made to stop that heat from leaking away too fast.”

“Oh!” Alex said with a bit of a surprised look. “There is lava running underneath this region?” he couldn’t help but ask.

“Yes,” the king said.

“That’s… something,” Alex said. He wasn’t surprised by the fact that lava was running underneath the ground here, but the fact that it happened here as well.

That was the exact thing that happened in the Northern Continent as well, which was where many people lived in.

“Are there many such regions in this land?” Alex asked.

“With lava flowing underneath the city?” the king asked. “Yes. In fact, every single major city here is exactly like that.”
