At the Eastern Saint Garrison's only gateway to the outside world.
Some of the mountain gullies there had been flattened inch by inch with Law Techniques.
They formed a vast open space.
Cultivators came and went from time to time.
Today was another day when the Heavenly Gate Sect assigned missions en masse. Many cultivators had already hurried here after receiving their instructions.
Qi Refining Realm cultivators made up the vast majority.
Wang Ba had also concealed his presence and stood among them.
His Heavenly Gate Duty Order had received a message instructing him to arrive here at a specific time.
After that, cultivators from the Mysterious Mechanism Dao would assign personnel to him.
Naturally, he dared not disobey.
He stood in the crowd.
Because he had deliberately concealed his presence, the surrounding Qi Refining Realm cultivators could not tell at all that he was a Foundation Establishment cultivator.
Thus, they made no effort to keep their conversations from him.
"...I wonder which True Cultivator we'll be assigned to this time. Hopefully someone strong."
One cultivator spoke with both anticipation and nervousness.
"I heard that fellow from the Slaughter Life Dao will be taking part this time too. If we can get assigned to him, we'll be set."
"You mean True Cultivator Zhu Ziji? He's in the top five of the Combat Strength Rankings, with an illustrious battle record. But I imagine the slots under him have already been taken by sect cultivators, haven't they?"
A nearby cultivator joined in.
Yet another cultivator could not help shaking his head and laughing at this.
"Heh, that's where you're wrong, fellow Daoist. High cultivation and great strength don't mean you'll really be safe following him. You should know that the Slaughter Life Dao seeks life by plunging into the jaws of death.
