Did you see that some cultivators were just standing far away watching? And some fairly attractive female cultivators stood at a distance, either flirting or feigning a proud and innocent demeanor, waiting there. Their goal was only one, that some notable figure eligible to enter the Heavenly Dao Garden might see them and take them inside!
Yes, getting into the Heavenly Dao Garden wasn't just a matter of money. Like Chu Mo at that time, even if he had offered ten million top-grade Heavenly Crystals, it might have scared the guards dead, but he would absolutely not have been given a chance to enter the Heavenly Dao Garden. He might even have been considered provoking!
In the entire Heavenly Realm, the City of Heavenly Domain held a pivotal position due to the heavenly road. And the Heavenly Dao Garden was even a property of a mysterious major force. That mysterious major force was not dared to be provoked lightly even by the great clans of the Heavenly Realm.
Far away, two cultivators were envyingly looking in the direction of the Heavenly Dao Garden, quietly discussing.
"If only someone could take me into the Heavenly Dao Garden. I heard that it's filled with Emperor-level herbs and the Heavenly Dao trees... Sitting under a tree for a quarter of an hour is equivalent to ten years of comprehending Dao outside! This is truly a place that cultivators yearn for in their dreams!"
"What's that supposed to mean? Did you know? In the Heavenly Dao Garden, the food ingredients are all supplied for free. Any kind of food there is hard to find throughout the entire Heavenly Realm! Have you heard about the three new cities in the Phantasm Realm and their restaurants?"
"I've heard about it," said the other cultivator. "The ingredients in those restaurants are quite rare, many of them are extremely rare even in the Heavenly Realm."
"Hehe, those things, here in the Heavenly Dao Garden, are nothing at all."
"How do you know so clearly?"
"Cough cough... I heard from someone, but the source is very reliable!"
"Ah, tell me, what kind of person is eligible to enter the Heavenly Dao Garden?"
"Heavenly Realm-known young masters of great clans, unrivaled Heavenly Geniuses, and those young lords who had already proven their strength, they all gained recognition from the Heavenly Dao Garden. They would be issued a card that symbolizes their status. With this card, all expenses in the Heavenly Dao Garden are free!"
"Heavens, wouldn't the Heavenly Dao Garden go bankrupt?"
"What do you know, this is the brilliance of the Heavenly Dao Garden, understand? First of all, this way, the Heavenly Dao Garden will have incomparable connections. Second, do you think those who are eligible to enter would just freeload?"
"Isn't that so?"
"You are really naive. Which of those people isn't a famous personality? How could they do such a thing? The Heavenly Dao Garden only opens when the heavenly road opens, and it does not open on normal days unless there is a special circumstance. Every opening of the Heavenly Dao Garden involves a donation. Those notables entering can donate anything they wish, such as precious treasures, special ingredients or even top-grade Heavenly Crystal stones. However, donating top-grade Heavenly Crystal stones is rare because that's too vulgar"
"I see... that's really enlightening!" the comparatively handsome young cultivator exclaimed.
He was also a bloodline cultivator, considered a genius within his own clan, who had cultivated to the Great Luo Jinxian realm in his twenties. He was quite proud of himself on ordinary days. But only upon coming here did he realize, he had been just a frog in the well.
"However, the cards from the Heavenly Dao Garden also come in different ranks," another cultivator said, apparently showing off because a few female cultivators had come over to listen attentively. He raised his voice slightly, smiling as he spoke, "Their cards are all made from special materials, ranging from low to high in silver, gold, purple, and a legendary jade card, but to my knowledge, only two of those cards have ever been issued since the Heavenly Dao Garden's existence. One is in the possession of the Drifting Empress because she is the longest-lived supreme being after the God War! The other... is unknown who holds it. Aside from that, no one could acquire such a jade card."
At this point, one of the beautiful women who had come closer interjected, "Does that mean only supreme beings are eligible to get their jade card?"
The cultivator scratched his head, saying, "That, I don't know."
"Oh." The beautiful woman's eyes showed a thoughtful expression as she asked, "So does holding any kind of card still allow you to bring someone inside?" As she spoke, there was a hopeful look in her eyes as she watched the cultivator.
The cultivator looked at the beautiful female cultivator before him, shaking his head slightly, "As far as I know, that's not possible. You need a gold card to have the eligibility to bring someone in, and it seems a purple card allows you to bring five people!"
"Is that so!" The beautiful woman sighed lightly, obviously a bit disappointed. From what the cultivator had just said, it was clear that those who qualified for a gold card already had a remarkable status, and those with a purple card were even rarer.
Thus, wanting to enter the Heavenly Dao Garden to broaden one's horizons was probably just a dream.
At that moment, a group of six people approached from a distance—exactly six, three men and three women. Leading them was a man in his twenties, with a face as handsome as jade and eyes bright like stars. He wore incredibly luxurious clothing and carried himself with an extraordinary grace.
Such a person, even if encountered elsewhere, would immediately catch one's eye and lead them to guess that he was no ordinary person.
The onlookers all instinctively looked towards the group heading toward the Heavenly Dao Garden.
Meanwhile, the group of six, without a sideways glance and ignoring everyone else, made their way directly to the grand entrance of the Heavenly Dao Garden.
The two guards, men of great experience and discernment, immediately recognized that the identities of this group must be extraordinarily distinguished.
Indeed, the young man leading the team gave a faint smile, took out a purple card from his person, and said to the guards, "Is this okay?"
The two guards' expressions turned serious as they both clasped their fists and said, "We greet you, lord!"
Anyone holding a purple card was certainly not just anyone; his personal strength must also be worthy of their address as a lord!
The young man nodded slightly, then turned to the other five and said with a smile, "Give me a chance to show off, and you all won't need to take out your cards."
The other five all laughed, among them a woman in a yellow dress whose beauty was unparalleled, softly said, "Why would we need to do anything when we're with Lord Qiushui?"
A handsome, noble-looking man also said with a laugh, "Exactly, hanging out with Lord Qiushui means there's always drink and meat aplenty."
The woman in the yellow dress gave the noble-looking man a sideways glance, "Zhao Dongming, can't you speak in a less vulgar manner? It sounds like we're a bunch of bandits."
Zhao Dongming laughed out loud, "Wouldn't that make Lord Qiushui the Mountain King?"
Everyone laughed together.
The young man at the front also displayed a helpless smile and said, "You…"
At this point, one of the women in red, suddenly noticing Chu Mo standing to the side, glanced at him and slightly furrowed her brow, asking a guard, "Who is that?"
The guard paused slightly, then carefully answered, "We do not know him; perhaps he's waiting for someone."
A look of mild contempt appeared in the red-dressed woman's eyes, she uttered an "Oh," and said, "If he's waiting, he should stand further away. Why stand so close?"
"This..." the guard said, his face showing his dilemma.
Suddenly, the woman in red revealed a mischievous smile, took a gold card from her person, waved it at the guards, then turned to Chu Mo, "Kneel and kowtow to me, call me granny, and I'll take you inside, how about that?"
The woman in yellow slightly frowned and whispered, "Shuangshuang, stop messing around."
