Outside Four Saints City stood enormous walls and one True Lord's palace after another.
Like armored soldiers atop the city gates, they guarded entrance after entrance.
Inside Four Saints City, however, streets crisscrossed and buildings stretched in every direction, forming what was effectively a small cultivators' market.
It was unlike Demon-Quelling City, where everyone had come from the Righteous Path Sect and interacted frequently. With the demonic sects poised to breach the defenses, no one had the inclination to run a business. Instead, they spent their days calculating how to exchange things for treasures from the Righteous Path Sect.

As the cultivators relaxed, their choices of treasures and cultivation methods grew more varied. Some even exchanged their belongings for spirit stones, planning to acquire spirit mountains in Xiao Mountain Prefecture and establish their own sects. After all, eighty percent of Xiao Mountain Prefecture and Wangqing Prefecture had fallen. Many sects and Lineages had been wiped out, leaving numerous spirit mountains vacant.
Over time, a cultivators' market gradually took shape.
The spoils from killing demonic cultivators, along with Spirit Talismans, magical implements, and similar goods, were all traded there.
Today, however, was the realm gate tournament. Many people had gone to the vicinity of the realm gate, leaving Four Saints City much quieter.
Even so, quite a few Qi Refining cultivators still walked through the city.
At the city's center stood four more palaces. Rather than the six-story structures Ye Jingcheng had imagined, they were four palaces suspended in the air, floating above the center of Four Saints City like airborne islands.
