The people of the Nine States descended in succession upon Qingzhou City. The Thousand Holy Islands around the Holy Zhi Palace were opened to the world, and everyone was allowed to walk freely upon them.
In a short time, the city that surrounded the Holy Zhi Palace had become the most prosperous and lively place in the Nine States. Not only had people come from other states, but cultivators from the Barren State itself had gathered there as well.

One could faintly perceive the rule power in the wall, a rule power that could penetrate into one's mind.
