"Yes, Boss!" Chu Xiaosa sighed helplessly. "Here, the low-level immortals all wish they could strip the dog skin off the nine heavens immortal emperor!"
"But there’s nothing we can do; he is the lofty nine heavens immortal emperor, while we? Merely pawns and puppets he uses to honor the Primordial Divine Realm and Chaos Divine Realm."
"If she ruled the nine heavens immortal realm, would we have fallen to such a state?"
"My little brother also heard that ultimately, it was the primeval supreme's early demise that caused all this."
Tan Yun furrowed his brow, curious, "Go on."
Chu Xiaosa said, "Boss, every immortal knows that the primeval supreme was gravely injured and fell at the hands of the chaos and primordial supreme."
"Before he fell, we in the Mortal Plane were unable to ascend. He, with great benevolence, permitted cultivators from the Mortal Plane to ascend."
Chu Xiaosa shook his head and sighed, "Boss, if only the primeval supreme were still alive, we could cultivate in peace in the immortal realm."
"Damn it, if I had known the immortal realm was like this, I might as well have enjoyed a good life on the Mystical Heavenly Continent!"
Tan Yun patted Chu Xiaosa’s shoulder and said solemnly, "Don't lose heart; one day we will leave this place and see the light of day again."
"Yes, I hope so," Chu Xiaosa lamented. If he knew that the purple-robed youth standing before him was the reincarnation of the primeval supreme, he would probably faint from shock.
Tan Yun smiled and said, "Alright, let’s go check out the Abandoned City to see if there are any good cultivation resources."
"Boss, we can't go," Chu Xiaosa said dejectedly.
Tan Yun raised an eyebrow, "Since it is a city built by the strong among lowly people, why can't we go?"
Chu Xiaosa replied angrily, "Even though the Abandoned City was built by the strong among us lowly people, the City Lord is really not a good person!"
"Under normal circumstances, a Low-Grade Punishment Immortal Pill only costs a hundred Low-Grade Immortal Stones, but do you know? Just to enter the city costs three hundred Low-Grade Immortal Stones!"
"Furthermore, the city regulations established by the City Lord state that three hundred Low-Grade Immortal Stones is merely the entry fee; to stay inside for one day, it costs another hundred Low-Grade Immortal Stones—three thousand for a month!"
"Only after paying the Immortal Stones can one receive protection inside the city; without the Immortal Stones, entry is impossible."
"If after entering the city, one pays three hundred Immortal Stones, they can only stay for three days; if the time is up and they haven't left, the price increases a hundredfold!"
"Isn't this just robbery?"
Hearing this, Tan Yun frowned, "Is there really no other place with markets besides the Abandoned City?"
"There are, and quite a few," Chu Xiaosa sighed. "However, due to the talents in alchemy, formations, weapons, and talismans among us lowly people seeking to save their lives, they have all flocked to the Abandoned City, leading to those other cities lacking in elixirs, magic treasures, spiritual herbs, and various heavenly materials and earthly treasures, and what they do have is of low quality."
Suddenly, Chu Xiaosa seemed to remember something, and his eyes lit up, "Boss, I just remembered, there’s a huge city that has just been built eighty million Immortal Li to the north of the Abandoned City!"
"It is rumored that the City Lord is one of us lowly people, and his cultivation level is unfathomable. He is currently recruiting talents and selecting soldiers to fight against the high-level people."
"What's more, it is said that the City Lord is a stunning beauty! Wow… incredible, a woman building a magnificent city to compete with the nine major cities of high-level people in the Abandoned City; truly a remarkable woman!"
"In my opinion, with your first level of the Punishment Immortal Realm, you could easily defeat a fifth-level cultivator. If you participate in the selection, you will definitely become a soldier in the city!"
