Heavenly Capital

* Donghua
* Manhua

The **Heavenly Capital** (仙京, *Xiān Jīng*) is the main workplace and residence of Heavenly Officials.

## Description

The Heavenly Capital is a great city high in the sky, surrounded by immortal clouds and covered in flowing streams, little bridges, sculpted pillars and buildings with murals. All Heavenly Officials have their divine palaces built in the capital, each with their own style, but the city also possesses many beautiful pavilions and kiosks.

### Locations

* **Grand Avenue of Divine Might:** The main road of the Heavenly Capital is the Grand Avenue of Divine Might, a stunning and expansive road that is usually busy with many Gods running about.
* **Palace of Divine Might:** The Palace of Divine Might is the palace of Jun Wu. It is a large, majestic palace that stands at the end of the Grand Avenue of Divine Might. It has golden roofs with the name of the hall written with power beneath. Only Heavenly Officials of the Upper Court could enter the hall, and it is usually used for meetings.
* **Palace of Xianle:** The Palace of Xianle is Xie Lian's divine palace. It is sumptuous and elegant with red glass walls, said to stand in the nicest area of the Heavenly Capital. The palace had originally been torn down after his banishment, but it was rebuilt in the exact same style after his third ascension.
* **Palace of Ling Wen:** The Palace of Ling Wen's divine palace. It is large and spacious, but filled ceiling to floor with scrolls and documents, a scene so terrifying other Heavenly Officials would shudder just seeing it. The palace workers are noted to be so overworked they look dead inside as they drag mountains of paperwork.
* **Ascension Gates**

## History

After it was completely destroyed in the battle against Jun Wu, it had to be rebuilt. During the construction the Heavenly Officials had seeked refuge and set up a temporary camp on Taicang Mountain. A number of gods secretly begged Hua Cheng for help, presumably financial. If it was calculated properly, the new Heavenly Capital actually wouldn't have been able to be built without Hua Cheng.

## Trivia

* It used to have a giant clock that rang whenever someone ascended to the Heavenly Court, but it fell and was destroyed during Xie Lian's third ascension due to the powerful impact.
* There are many copies of the Grand Avenue of Divine Might in the mortal realm to honor Jun Wu, but it's said they were only cheap shadows in comparison to the original one.
* Heavenly Officials perform street patrol.
* Prisons exist in the Heavenly Capital. They're used to detain Heavenly Officials accused of crimes as well as ghosts.
