Azure Blue Sky East, a magnificent city perched by the sea, stood proudly with its walls made of pristine red marble and an imposing watchtower that inspired boundless reverence.
This was Feicheng, the birthplace of humanity's rise, where the Human Emperor established his capital, naming it Tiandong. From that moment on, the city became known as Tiandong City, forever etched in history as the first city of humankind.
From its inception, the city was filled with countless tales worth recounting. After many twists and turns, Tiandong City fell under the influence of Limitless Path. Although the specifics of what transpired were unclear, Tiandong City remained a beacon in the World of Dust, a place every human yearned for. It mattered not who held power over the city; what truly mattered was that it had never severed its ties with humanity.
Outside the city, a bustling crowd gathered before a grand hall, mirroring the magnificence of the city itself. The hall, located at the very center of Tiandong City, was particularly imposing, clearly surpassing any three buildings one might compare it to.
A massive plaque hung above the main entrance, measuring at least four meters wide, inscribed with three characters in pristine red: Universe Hall.
Sighing, an old man leaning on a cane remarked about the young people rushing in. "They’re just looking to feed their beasts again. These youngsters should focus on their Yuezi and Bu Luo instead of chasing after some herbs."
Jiang Anbo peeked out curiously and asked, "Do you know what they are all doing?"
Having traveled swiftly for a month on horseback, Jiang Anbo had finally crossed a significant portion of the continent to reach Tiandong City. With only four months left until the Sky East Tournament, he felt a sense of urgency.
Throughout their journey, they had received no Gu Messages, leaving Jiang Anbo feeling uneasy. He wanted to check for any news and thought it would be a shame not to explore Tiandong City while they were there. As they spoke clearly about their plans, he hoped that I don't deny would not turn out to be a petty person who would go back on his word.
"Young man, don't be like them, thinking that just because you've learned a few Immortal Techniques, you can take on those Great Demons in the deep mountains. It's foolish to accept bounties from the Universe Hall; most of those who do never return, no matter how tempting the rewards may seem."
As the old man spoke, he tapped his cane against the blue brick floor, making Jiang Anbo feel that the elder was genuinely concerned for him. However, Bu Luo thought to himself that only by experiencing danger firsthand could he truly understand it.
After chatting for a moment, a somewhat shabby-looking youth emerged from the main hall and headed towards the west of the city, his legs appearing to carry a ring he hadn't worn before.
Sigh.
Seeing the downcast youth, the old man sighed again. When he turned back, he realized that the young man who had been beside him was already at the entrance of the hall. He wanted to chase after him but remembered that as an old man with only Qi Refinement cultivation, he couldn't enter such a grand hall. He was merely wasting his breath there.
"Young master, newcomers please go that way."
As soon as Jiang Anbo entered the main hall, a beautiful maid greeted him and led him inside.
"How do I know if he's a newcomer?" Anbo asked with some confusion.
"The moment you walked in and started looking around, it's clear you're not familiar with this place," she replied.
"What are people doing here?"
"They're probably completing those high-paying bounty missions to earn rewards. Everyone who comes here is either looking for spirit stones, medicinal herbs, or magical artifacts. Otherwise, why would they come here?" The maid laughed lightly while covering her face.
Jiang Anbo felt a bit embarrassed and scratched his head; after all, he had never been involved in such matters before and found it quite amusing.
"Young Master, could you be a disciple of a Major Sect? I assume you haven't had any contact with the Universe Hall before."
"The Major Sect may not count, but that was in the past. Now, I could be considered a Loose Cultivator, haha."
Thinking this, Jiang Anbo couldn't hide the loneliness in his eyes and smiled faintly. "I don't deny it," he said, making it easy for the maid to notice.
"Little Girl, how rude!" The Universe Hall is a place jointly established by the Sky East Dao Gate for all cultivators to trade and seek what they need. Every cultivator wishing to enjoy that benefit must register at the Universe Hall. That way, well-known and reputable cultivators in Tiandong will leave traces. If someone has committed heinous acts or unspeakable deeds, it also makes it easier for the Daoist Sect to handle matters.
"Then why does that old man at the entrance regard it like a Primordial Beast?"
That old man's grandson is a Foundation Practitioner who disappeared after a mission and has never returned. Coco has already perished in those secret realms outside Tiandong City.
What about that young man? What kind of mission did he take?
It was an Herb Gathering Mission. He seemed to need a Celestial Herb. Given that task, I don't deny he might be able to complete it.
Then why was he seeking to post a mission for him?
He has enough rank at the Universe Hall.
