As Xia Tian and others exited the cortex in the middle of a street, the view of Etheral cloud city got clearer.
Ethereal Cloud City was a breathtaking sight that seemed to have been plucked straight from the heavens themselves. Its towering buildings, made of polished white jade, reached towards the sky, their roofs adorned with intricate carvings and shimmering tiles that caught the light in dazzling colors.
The city was built on a series of floating platforms that seemed to drift serenely on the soft, fluffy clouds that surrounded them. The clouds were imbued with an otherworldly energy, which gave them a faint, ethereal glow and a soft, cushiony texture that was easy on the feet.
The streets were bustling with people of all kinds, from scholars and cultivators to traders and merchants. Each of them seemed to be on a mission, rushing about their business with an energy and sense of purpose that was almost infectious.
