Wish-Fulfillment Heaven.
The neatly planned market district was packed shoulder to shoulder, bustling with life and extraordinarily lively.
Streams of five-colored light crisscrossed the sky like dazzling auroras, obscuring more than half of the Blazing Sun overhead.
This was Gao Xian's second visit to Wish-Fulfillment Heaven, and he now saw it in an entirely new light.
Mainly because his own level had risen; looking again at Wish-Fulfillment Heaven and Wish-Fulfillment Market, he could see far more, and far deeper.
Like all heavenly realms, the void barrier high above Wish-Fulfillment Heaven had mostly shattered and was already on the brink of collapse.
Wish-Fulfillment Market remained so stable largely due to the support of a ninth-rank formation and the maintenance of ninth-rank powerhouses. Or rather, the entire Wish-Fulfillment Market was itself an enormous divine artifact.
When Gao Xian had last visited Wish-Fulfillment Market, he had merely felt its formation was wondrous. Only today did he understand its true nature.
He had no need for a conical hat to conceal his form and aura, but out of respect for this place's master, he still bought one, casually carried it in his hand, and entered Wish-Fulfillment Market.
Cultivators across the myriad heavens and worlds likely understood that Wish-Fulfillment Heaven did not have long left. Thus, Wish-Fulfillment Market was exceptionally bustling at this moment. Cultivators from every side wanted to make use of the resources in their hands as quickly as possible before the great calamity...
Every cultivator wore a conical hat, afraid that revealing their aura would invite trouble.
Only Gao Xian wore none, making him exceptionally conspicuous amid the crowd. Yet at his level of cultivation, if he did not wish to stand out, no one would notice him as an exception.
No one who saw Gao Xian found anything unusual about him.
