Even after the Immortal Realm entered its twilight, no matter how few people remained, there were always some who wandered about.
Whether in the mundane world or the Immortal Realm, nothing travels faster than rumors. No matter how swift your escape technique, you can only move in one direction. But rumors spread in all directions—wherever there are traces of people, word will reach.
In just three short years, a truly new Immortal City appeared in the Immortal Realm. News that this city allowed cultivation just like before—and even crossing tribulations to become a True Immortal—spread throughout most of the Twilight Domain.
Countless cultivators flocked here. Some Immortal City lords even abandoned their positions to come to the outskirts of Starhaven City.
All these cultivators arrived prepared with Immortal Crystals and Spirit Stones. In their minds, any Immortal City in the Twilight Domain could be entered with these resources. In fact, the rumors said the same: as long as you had Immortal Crystals or Spirit Stones, you could enter Starhaven City.
Every cultivator who arrived was filled with excitement. They didn’t even need to enter Starhaven City—just being on the outskirts, they could sense immortal spiritual energy. Some even crossed tribulations and advanced to True Immortal right outside the city.
Moreover, the closer one got to Starhaven City, the denser the immortal aura became, and the better the cultivation results. It felt as if all the fortune of the Immortal Realm was gathering at Starhaven City and slowly spreading outward.
Starhaven City must possess a top-tier Fortune Gathering Array; otherwise, such effects would be impossible. Some believed it wasn’t merely a Fortune Gathering Array, for they could sense vitality condensing outside the city—seeing water and the growth of spiritual herbs.
Yet when they tried to join Starhaven City, they were dumbfounded. It wasn’t that they lacked Immortal Crystals or Spirit Stones—entry required neither. Instead, the conditions were far stricter: first, they had to pass a screening grand array, and of every ten cultivators, only one or two could pass.
Second, they needed to owe a large amount of Merit Points to the city—these could be earned by gathering materials in the Immortal Realm or by contributing to Starhaven City.
