The following morning broke clear and bright.
Within Capital City.
The air was suffused with a sense of tranquil bliss, indicative of a nation thriving and its people living in peace.
In the streets and within the grassy patches scattered throughout the city, the number of snakes, insects, rodents, and ants had noticeably diminished.
And on the daily publication of the Tingfeng Building, the first piece of information was this:
"Announcement from the Great Xia Dynasty through Tingfeng Building to all cultivators across the Nine Provinces"
"Those who come to Shangjing City for the Wash Essence and Marrow ritual, must ensure to extract Gu worms, artifacts, and all other unrelated foreign entities from within their bodies and the Sea of Consciousness in advance.
If not removed beforehand and lost in the process, compensation will not be provided by our side.
Cultivators must bear the responsibility themselves."
