The wind blew in from afar, stirring the mist formed by immortal energy, which spread throughout the Immortal Palace.
Eventually, it settled on the Immortal Welcoming Platform within the palace.
It flowed around the gathered cultivators.
This platform was a massive black stone slab, with moss growing across its surface, exuding an ancient aura and a sense of time's passage. Standing upon it felt like stepping into the flow of time itself.
In the center of the platform stood a stone monument, inscribed with information about three paths, though the writing had become blurred from the countless years that had passed.
At this moment, dozens of figures stood upon the Immortal Welcoming Stage.
All cultivators who entered the Immortal Palace from the outside world would appear here first.
It was from this point that they would choose their path forward.
