Bab 509: The High Priest

After a night of drinking, Emperor Xia was still full of vigor. To put it another way, he has not felt tiredness in a long time, as he practically had unlimited energy. Fitness that knew no bounds coupled with a high intelligence made him into the strong person he is today.

Emperor Xia arranged for his carriages and left the main hall. The palace maids and eunuchs were far behind him. Emperor Xia passed through a garden and reached a Jade lake. The gleaming waves were like mirrors, and the grass spanned thousands of acres.

This lake was the biggest in the kingdom. Water from the sky above and the ground below were drawn in. Spiritual vigor was accumulated. All of this formed the lake. It took 30 years to complete and costed the lives of 20,000 slaves.

The clear waters of the lake masked the immense amount of blood and tears behind its conception.
