Four people formed a formation, with their Qi united into a whole, no matter how Chen Chi exerted all his True Power, displayed all kinds of Dharma Aspects, and exhausted all his strength. However, the profound mysterious array formed by these four people, utilizing the Heroic City's killing intent, caused the red-haired man to suddenly stiffen all over, ultimately being killed on the spot.

His own Celestial Immortal Taoism Fruit, along with his Divine Soul, was utterly annihilated.

The scene suddenly turned cold, as no one expected that someone emerging from this Path of Success would meet such fate.

A group standing at the end of the Path of Success, just a step away from entering the Hero City Raceway, also instinctively retracted their strides.

After a while, someone exclaimed in fear, "Why is it that as soon as we meet, it's all about fighting and killing?"

A clean-shaven, white-faced man nearby saw this and couldn't help but snort lightly, speaking in a slightly low tone, "These Paths of Success were all dug out by those traitors inside this city. Due to differences in spatial layers, it's extremely difficult for the Heroic City to detect these roads. Finding one requires a significant amount of resources."

Lu Ren, standing in the distance, heard this, appearing thoughtful. He understood that this Path of Success might have been developed in an infinitesimal space, where even a square inch could be a vast area, perhaps even larger than the Universe.

To search such a vast region would require enormous manpower and resources, undoubtedly a thankless task.

Thinking of this, Lu Ren suddenly recalled seeing that Golden Immortal with the purple Qi phenomenon on Xuankong Mountain back then. According to what the Celestial Immortal described, it was likely a smuggler who knew this route.

"Why do they wish to leave this place?!" A female cultivator nearby couldn't help but ask, her voice gentle and calm, with a peaceful strength that subconsciously calmed the restlessness in everyone's hearts.

Everyone couldn't help but turn to look.

There stood a tall, striking figure, nearly three meters tall, clad in armor, wielding a Long Halberd. The aura of an Ultimate Celestial Immortal around her flowed gently amidst boundless evil Qi.

The crowd's expressions paused slightly, as their faint thoughts of romance were scattered by the unending evil Qi.

Who would have thought that this female demon god's voice could be so gentle?

Apparently understanding the subtleties inside, a middle-aged cultivator, hearing the question from others, showed a slight look of contempt, yet upon seeing the Ultimate Celestial Immortal female cultivator with boundless evil Qi, he couldn't help but tremble inside.

Although they were both Ultimate Celestial Immortals, when facing her, one still needed to restrain themselves. Anyone with this kind of relentless evil Qi was definitely a fierce character who had crawled out from a pile of corpses.

Despite her gentle demeanor, the bloodstained Long Halberd in her hand silently warned everyone that along her journey on the Path of Success, this Long Halberd had drunk the blood of countless enemies.

The middle-aged cultivator awkwardly smiled, yet his tone carried an arrogance akin to looking at country folk.

"Rural Loose Cultivators like you wouldn't know these things. To get here, you must have some luck and decent strength."

These words were quite harsh, but they also indicated that this middle-aged Celestial Immortal had a considerable backing, and his familiarity with the Path of Success showed his deep understanding of its ways.

Similar to the True Dragon Race, if Ao Li hadn't lost most of the bloodline inheritance memory in his mind, he would certainly know these things.

Lu Ren suddenly remembered when he tried to bring the True Phoenix over, its expression drastically changed, Divine Soul trembled, and the Fire Feathers almost set the space ablaze, attempting to escape Lu Ren's grip.

Clearly, it knew exactly what was going on here.

As the middle-aged cultivator explained with a subtle undertone of ridicule, the people gradually understood their current status.

The cultivators who came via the Path of Success were essentially smugglers. Without a certificate, any patrolling soldiers who caught them would kill them.

The reason being that an extraterrestrial demon once disguised as a certificate-less cultivator, causing enormous damage after entering the Heroic City. Hence, without a certificate, any soldiers in this Border City who capture them will kill them.

Upon hearing this, someone couldn't help but complain, "Who would have thought after spending so many years on the Path of Success, only to find out at its end that we are smugglers. How unjust is heaven!"

The middle-aged cultivator sneered and said nothing more, only commenting faintly.

"Who would have thought that after reaching the Celestial Immortal stage, someone could still be so naive. It's truly an eye-opener for me."

The person who spoke earlier showed a hint of anger but remained silent, acknowledging that for a Post-Heaven Immortal to reverse-attack an Ultimate Celestial Immortal, only the most monstrous of talents could achieve this.

Those who reached the end were all of great perseverance, great fortune, and great opportunities. Among the nearly forty present, none were below the Post-Heaven Immortal level, with even seven or eight being Ultimate Celestial Immortals.

After a brief silence, the female Ultimate Celestial Immortal with the Great Halberd continued to inquire in her calm, indifferent tone.

"Honored Taoist friend, since you are waiting here, I wonder if there are any opportunities to pass through?"

Hearing this, the middle-aged cultivator smiled, clearly showing a trace of admiration for someone among these people who was finally clever, though it left an uncomfortable feeling. Yet the woman seemed unfazed, her serene eyes fixed calmly on him.

An invisible pressure descended, making the middle-aged cultivator feel inexplicably heavy. He suddenly understood that this fierce individual, regardless of her speech, was a ruthless character.

If she were to become enraged and drag him into a big battle here, it might ruin things.

The middle-aged cultivator paused briefly and replied lightly, "You are lucky to encounter me, indeed quite fortunate. Here in the Border City, our sect's elders can guide us to the city and ensure we have a certificate, so there's no worry about being slaughtered by the military inside."

Lu Ren calmly asked, "What price needs to be paid?"

Upon hearing Lu Ren, the middle-aged cultivator couldn't help but glance sideways at him, noticing the immense aura of an Ultimate Celestial Immortal emanating from him. Realizing that this speaker was among the top strong individuals within the Ultimate Celestial Immortals, his tone naturally softened.

"Of course, there's no free lunch in this world. To obtain such a certificate, you must exchange foundational resources like Spirit Crystals. Ten thousand superior-quality Spirit Crystals are the entry fee."

The crowd fell silent upon hearing this, and Lu Ren couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. For cultivators at or above the Post-Heaven Immortal stage present, ten thousand Spirit Crystals were not particularly valuable, merely minor expenses.
