The Holy Phoenix Empire (23 days until the wedding)...
Unlike entering the Red Dragon Empire, Ryan experienced no border checkpoints.
After showing the token he received from the Zol'Gan Empress, he was allowed into the Holy Phoenix Empire's capital without issue.
Lizzy and Izzy had explained that although the Zol'Gan Empire and Holy Phoenix Empire were anything but friendly, no one wanted to cause trouble and face heaven's wrath when a heavenly event occurred.
Plenty of signs pointed Ryan in the right direction to the Military Summit, which was apparently deeper into the capital.
But before he ventured in too deep, he wanted to secure lodging near the outer part of the capital.
'There will be a lot of highly skilled cultivators at this summit as advisors or mentors,' Ryan thought. 'And my palace entrance is still vulnerable. I don't know if they'll be able to sense it. Better to be on the safe side.'
