im pooped...hail the king is always the hardest series for me to translate..what took 30 mins for other project. this one take me 3 hours just to do one chapter. too many complexity in this series. i can certainly see why no other scanlation team did not pick this up after 2 years.

I remember when someone translated a couple chapters a long time ago they said it was a big pain in the ass. The fact that picked it up despite that is very much appreciated. On a side note I bet since most major roles that belonged to males in the novel are now females I bet Brooke is also going to be a female too.

@abear
there is a reason for it being that high, but its a bit of a spoiler as its relevant to its construction.... but it wont matter untill like 8 arcs in the future so that's going to be awhile before it gets relevant.
Short answer which is a pretty small spoiler :
the full backstory to this ( with mayor spoilers ahead ):

This is a cultivation story, the "star power users" can more or less become gods so after a while they can just jump that high .
( or fly over it once they go beyond star level into "moon levels")
( or fly over it once they go beyond star level into "moon levels")
the full backstory to this ( with mayor spoilers ahead ):
The city was not built by humans, it was a dwarven fortress 1000 or 10.000 years back.
The humans found and started living in couse they were to poor / lazy to build a new city.
i dont remember the exact time but it was a long as time ago and isn't important as all the dwarfs are long gone......
Back in those days "star power" (basiclly chi powers as magic powers is different which is going to be a plot point once he starts leveling up the sorceress class )
Were ALOT more common back then becouse of "star power tides" and people who can use star power gets pretty crazy with how physically strong they are...like most cultivation mangas.
So they needed the 600 meter wall to prevent basic foot soliders from jumping over it, cause back then even basic soldiers were more or less superman.
the "gods" like the god of war and later on the "beast god" and "sea gods"that comes up later are not really gods and more like really REALLY powerful star warriors who took part in the war 10.000 years ago that they are talking about in the next chapter.
but then again once you go beyond moon and later sun level, you basically become a demigod anyway as the star power at that point lets you bend reality around you permanently.
the star power tides is this story's explanation for the crazy power escalation that happens later.
right now in the story we are in a low tide in power, but the tide is turning so more and more people are able to learn/unlock how to use star powers and power up faster becouse of it....
But that also means the bad things that made the dwarfs disappear in the last "high tide" are also comming back so shit is about to hit the fan all over the world even if nobody knows it yet....
that and well this story starts out in a backwater kingdom in a backwater empire on abackwater continent in a backwater... you get the idea right ?
they live out on the edge of nowhere and are poor as dirt so no money to buy crazy powerup pills and herbs etc etc or whatever mcguffin cultivation storys use these days.
but at least the MC is a noble so he still got some stuff going for him...

@goldenzeal Still 60m. You see the walls page 6
(they actually are 20-25m high unless all buildings house giants and both Perspective and Gravity were drunk that day)
Tokyo Skytree: 630m
The Great Pyramid of Giza : 150m
The Great Wall of China: <15m
Thanks for the detailed answer though.

"the river .. hundred of miles deep"
Uh. Okay, so, in the real world, the ocean is typically around 2 miles deep, and at its deepest point, it's still under 7 miles.
It takes 1800 miles to reach the core of the earth, and about 4000 to reach the center. Comparatively, the crust of the earth is only 3 - 40 miles deep.
Now, if that's "a hundred miles deep", that means the river has, at a minimum, gone past the crust and into the mantle to a depth exceeding the river's presence within the crust.
If that's "hundreds of miles deep" ("hundreds" being a term used for anything below 2000), the river could be anywhere from deep into the mantle, to quite a few miles into the core.
In summary, this world has some impressive rivers.
[Alternative perspective: The world is huge in size. Rivers are still impressive.]
Of course, the more notable question would be: How did they manage to get deep enough to determine that it was hundred(s) of miles deep in the first place?
