Tianyang Realm, Retreat from Mundanity City.
At the Old Pig Manor, a reception party was already waiting at the entrance when Ning Xuan and Zhongli Ruoruo's group arrived. Ning Xuan was quite surprised, as the greeters were genuine members of the Human Race, and their faces bore no conspicuous Human Slave marks. The only thing that seemed off was that he couldn't sense any energy fluctuations from them.
"This place isn't suitable for humans, so their lack of Cultivation isn't my doing," Old Pig explained, taking the initiative since it knew Ning Xuan had noticed the anomaly.
An elder immediately stepped forward to confirm. "Yes. We chose to cripple our own Cultivation. To live here, one must pay a price."
Behind Ning Xuan and Zhongli Ruoruo, some in their party looked on with envy, while others were filled with regret. They too had once been given a choice. Unfortunately, some hadn't believed it was possible, while others had refused to accept their fate.
