A gathering took place in an ornate fortress. It had trappings of gold, crystals, and various precious gems. The fine fabrics strung up near the ceilings were glowing with Qi but it was more decorative than functional.
It was easily able to hold over a thousand people in some rooms but far more servants ran the place so no native or guest needed to even lift a finger to have satisfaction of their desires.
The food and drink was of the highest quality that could be found but more than a few Immortals were dissatisfied since it was far weaker than their foundation. It was all that could be found so no one complained.
"I don't see any Maidens or those annoying Swords here. It seems the rumors are true." A man with a neatly cropped dark beard sipped from a golden cup. The wine was sparkling with light but it only brought a grimace from him.
