Just as Chi Jiuyu fully recovered and began searching for the other contestants...
Under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Secret Palace, Five Senses Immortal City.
Affected by the earlier incident in which numerous contestants had jointly besieged a Void Return cultivator, the entire city had grown much quieter.
Yet because it was itself one of the Heavenly Secret Palace's important hub cities, it had not been abandoned like those fruit domains of the Heavenly Secret Palace or Miao City.
It was simply that all five stationed Spirit Transformation cultivators had died, and even the Void Return Immortal Venerable who had come as reinforcements had been beaten into fleeing in disgrace...
This had turned Five Senses Immortal City into a famously perilous place.
Even though the Heavenly Secret Palace had set the mission rewards exceedingly high, not a single Spirit Transformation cultivator dared risk coming here.
After all, after struggling and clawing their way up for so many years to finally reach Spirit Transformation, who would be willing to gamble their life for such a tiny reward?
That little bit of mission reward could not turn them into Void Return cultivators anyway...
Sure, they were workhorses and pack mules—but who said workhorses and pack mules could not cherish their own lives?!
Besides, Spirit Transformation workhorses and pack mules already stood below Void Return and above hundreds of millions. They had some judgment.
Since even Spirit Transformation cultivators were unwilling to come, Five Senses Immortal City had simply been left vacant.
Several Nascent Soul cultivators now managed the city, including the one who had once blocked Zhao Ruoming...
To show the sect their resolve to live and die with the city—and to prevent the "consumables" within from escaping—the Nascent Soul cultivators had joined forces to activate the city-protecting grand formation.
