Hundred Demons Palace was very quiet!
The time was almost here.
The Foundation Establishment disciples preparing to enter took out the tokens they had received after registering at Supreme Yin Palace.
Once the Heavenly Moon Grotto officially opened, the tokens would glow.
At that time, as long as they infused them with their own mana and activated them with true astral force, they would be sent inside.
The duration was three months!
If they survived, they would return to where they had started.
This was also why most demonic cultivators chose to participate. Even if they did something within the Heavenly Moon Grotto that provoked the righteous path into wanting them dead, it did not matter. Once it ended, they would return directly to their point of departure rather than appearing at Starry Sky Lake within the Heavenly Moon Grotto.
Incidentally, Li Su's token was somewhat special.
Its user did not need to wield the true astral force unique to Foundation Establishment cultivators. They only needed to drip a drop of their own blood onto it.
According to the Withered Elder's explanation, true astral force had already been infused into the token—and an exceptionally special kind at that. Not only could it be activated by blood, it would also form the same aura as the blood's owner, thereby identifying its holder as a Foundation Establishment cultivator.
Although demonic cultivators would not receive the Heavenly Moon Grotto's protection upon entering, it was not without benefits. Compared to the righteous path, demonic cultivators entered earlier.
In other words, demonic disciples would enter before righteous path disciples.
The reason was simple as well. From its opening to its stabilization, the Heavenly Moon Grotto required quite some time.
Demonic cultivators entered during the opening phase, while the righteous path could only enter after it
