In the days that followed, the Royal City grew ever more bustling, and more and more teams of prodigies who had been invited began arriving one after another.
The Starry Sky Ancient Road was one of the decisive battlegrounds of the ancient war. Too many supreme powerhouses had fallen within it. Now, under the pretext of repairing the seal, being able to enter such a place was itself a rare opportunity for the major powers of Upperstream.
Some factions, in pursuit of their own lost inheritances, even took the initiative to contact the Royal Court, paying an enormous price to secure a qualification for their younger generation to enter the Starry Sky Ancient Road.
As a result, though the Royal Court had initially been in the position of being saved, it ended up making a fortune through certain secret dealings.
If cannon fodder wanted to spend their own resources to go in and die, the Royal Court would first offer kind advice. If they could not be persuaded, then it only proved that they were fated for such a calamity. Thus, the Royal Court accepted those resources with a clear conscience.
Yet even knowing that danger lurked at every turn within, the various factions still sent out their finest lineups, wanting to give it a try and gamble on that one chance.
What if they found some fortuitous opportunity or inheritance?
Such a thing could alter the entire landscape of a sect.
For this very reason, aside from the top prodigies openly invited by the Royal Court, many factions had also come through trade. The number of cultivators waiting at Jiangse Tower to be chosen by others in hopes of forming a team had likewise increased.
The gathering of countless cultivators made the Royal Court the focus of all Upperstream.
