The East Gate of Huailai City.
Two lines of people waited for inspection to enter the city: one for Mortals, one for Cultivators.
In truth, a great number of Mortals lived in Huailai Immortal City. They filled the lower-level occupations and were an indispensable part of the city's operation.
Although living in the Immortal City came with a higher cost of living, it also had its advantages. The abundant Spiritual Qi extended their lifespans and kept them healthy. Their descendants born in such an environment were more likely to possess a Spirit Root and could be tested for one at an early age, ensuring they didn't waste their precious years.
But the most important point was safety.
Under the protection of the Immortal City's City Defense Array, they would almost never suffer from an attack by the Demon Race in their lifetime and had a much greater chance of dying a natural death.
That was why Mortals would fight tooth and nail for the right to reside in the Immortal City.
