Full-Time Magister: The Evil Emperor Descends

The capital city holds an extremely high position both domestically and internationally, and many of the most authoritative international magic organizations choose to hold their meetings there.

The most authoritative organizations of Buddhist monks in China are the court monks of the Forbidden City and the monks of the Potala Palace.

The court sorcerers manage internal affairs, while the holy palace sorcerers manage external affairs; they cooperate with each other.

There are fewer clouds on the plateau, so the sky looks exceptionally blue, with a sapphire-like vibrancy.

Beneath this azure sky, the Potala Palace, that magnificent building standing atop the roof of the world, shines like a dazzling pearl, radiating endless splendor and awe.

Viewed from afar, the Potala Palace is built against the mountain, and the massive architectural complex resembles a huge fortress perched atop Red Mountain.

The white palace walls, like the purest snow in winter, shimmered with a holy light under the sun. They were so white they were dazzling, almost painful to the eyes, yet impossible to look away from.

The red decorative stripes on the walls, like burning flames, stand out even more vividly against the white background, as if they were the pulsating heartbeat of the palace, telling ancient and mysterious stories.

The winding staircase stretches upwards, the steps that magicians strive to climb their whole lives, to enter the Potala Palace, become a holy palace magician, and enjoy a reputation of sagacity!

The group arrived at the designated landing spot for summoned beasts, jumped off the back of the massive griffin, and gazed at the breathtaking scenery around them.

"Being able to see such a spectacular scene, this trip was definitely worthwhile!"

"Yes, I feel like my life has been worthwhile."

In the group, two young men gazed at the magnificent scenery of the Western Regions, especially the grand and splendid Potala Palace, and couldn't help but sigh from the bottom of their hearts.

Mu Bai looked around at his surroundings, his eyes filled with shock, and remained silent for a long time.

"So, did you feel this trip was worth it?"

Mo Xie walked up to Mu Bai, patted him on the shoulder, and gazed at the magnificent Potala Palace, the holy temple of many magicians.

"Yes, this is my first time in the Western Regions. It feels different from the central and southern regions."

Mu Bai looked at the different styles of buildings on the street and the clothes of the pedestrians. Although he had seen them in books and on his phone before, seeing them in person was a completely different experience.

Mo Xie nodded, then looked at everyone and said.

"Let's go in first, find a place to stay, and gather some intelligence along the way."

"Yes!"

The group marched into the capital city in a grand procession. There weren't actually many streets inside, and after walking for a while, they could basically traverse all of them.

The ancient stone slabs here are almost all marked with the marks of believers. In terms of piety and dedication, the believers of the capital city are second to none.

While enjoying the exotic scenery, a few members of the group went around gathering information.

Just as several beautiful girls dressed in Tibetan costumes were shyly taking photos with Mo Xie, the people who had gone to gather information in the surrounding area returned to the group.

After Mo Xie smiled and waved goodbye to the girls from the Western Regions, Xiao Hui stepped forward and said respectfully.

"Master, we have received information and know where the entrance to Tianshan is. Let's go to Pan Town first, as it is the closest town to the entrance to Tianshan."

"Okay." Immediately, the group headed to a town called Pan Town without stopping.

On the way, Xiao Hui continued to talk about the information he had gathered.

"Master, in the desert layer of Tianshan, we need to cross a great rift valley. However, this rift valley is not just one, but like a maze. If we are not careful, we may easily get lost. The biggest threat is a kind of demon called the Desert Bone-Eating Spider, which is incredibly numerous."

"Once you cross the Great Rift Valley, you will reach the meadow layer. There are even more kinds of monsters in the meadow layer, but the most dangerous thing is the variety of poisonous plants. You will die if you touch them."

Upon hearing this, Mu Bai frowned, and a solemn expression appeared on his face. If the outer perimeter of Tianshan was this terrifying, one could only imagine how much more terrifying it was in the deeper parts.

"Moreover, according to some information circulating from the Holy Palace, the Scar of Tianshan actually has an entrance. No matter how harsh the snow mountain is or how strong the wind is on the plateau, as long as we find this entrance and climb along the crack, we can enter the real Scar of Tianshan."

The Tianshan Scar is located in the glacier layer. The glacier layer of the Tianshan Mountains is vast and boundless, and the mountain range is undulating. The location of the Tianshan Scar is impossible to determine. Even those who have found it are unlikely to be able to find it again. Many people have died on the way to find it.

In addition, the altitude at which the Scar of Tianshan is located is subject to icy winds that cannot withstand the physical body of a mage. Even those with high cultivation levels will have their magical energy depleted and be left on the snow mountain forever.

The Scar of Tianshan is the most dangerous area in the entire Tianshan ice and snow layer. The creatures that walk in the Scar of Tianshan, even the little demons and monsters that patrol the mountains and valleys, are at least at the level of a commander. This is why the Scar of Tianshan is called the graveyard of the world's strongest people. It is a place where commanders are the starting point!
Upon hearing Xiao Hui's words, Mu Bai couldn't help but show a look of doubt on his face and asked.

"I heard from you that Mu Ningxue went missing on the outskirts of Tianshan. Why are you still collecting information about the Tianshan Scar?"

Upon hearing this, Mo Xie remained silent for a moment, then sighed and said helplessly.

"If we find no trace of Mu Ningxue or her body in the desert or meadow layers, then we will have no choice but to search inside the Tianshan Scar."

Upon hearing this, the team fell silent, and the atmosphere became negative.

Mo Xie composed himself, looked at the town in front of him, and spoke.

"Alright, we've arrived at Pan Town."

Panzhen, located on the southern slope of the Tianshan Mountains, is quite different from other special post stations.

As previously mentioned, its existence was indeed due to the relatives of those who disappeared in the Tianshan Mountains, who, hoping for their return, spontaneously built wooden houses along a river at the foot of the Tianshan Mountains, gradually forming a village and town.

Later, those who wanted to go to the Tianshan Mountains also flocked to Pan Town in search of supplies and a place to stay, turning it into a southern departure point for those heading to the Tianshan Mountains. Hunters, explorers, mercenaries, students, and adventurers gradually filled the town.

There are not many local residents in Pan Town; most of them are outsiders.

When we arrived at Panzhen, a town named after the Tianshan Mountains, we found it to be much larger than we had imagined, almost half the size of Bocheng.

I initially thought this place would be like many mage inns, rather rudimentary, with houses focused on practicality and streets filled with vendors selling magic potions, armor, magic stones, information maps, and looking for teammates...

The town was bustling with people, and all sorts of outsiders flocked here, most of them treasure hunters.

The Tianshan Mountains are so vast, with many layers depending on the altitude. Among so many monks, not all of them were probably aiming for the glacier and snow layer; there are also many treasures in the other layers.

To enter the glacial snow layer, one must be at least a high-level mage. There are at least five or six thousand mages in the entire Pan Town, but most of them are not at the high-level.

However, it's clear that the mages who came here are no pushovers; their overall strength and fighting spirit are far superior to those elsewhere. (End of Chapter)
