Chapter 185: The Celestial Jadeleaf 

After days of navigating the mystical forest, Zenki, Meiying, Zhenyue, and Mengting finally emerged from the dense canopy of ancient trees. The world outside unfolded before them like a mesmerizing tapestry. A sprawling city lay in the distance, its skyline crowned by pagodas and towers that reached for the heavens.

The city of Long Tan was a vision of grandeur and cultural richness. Its buildings, a harmonious blend of traditional Chinese architecture and modern innovation, stood as a testament to the city's long and storied history. Jade Dragon River, with its sparkling, jade-hued waters, meandered gracefully through the heart of the city, offering a soothing contrast to the bustling streets.
