A Strange Development

After returning to the Mortal Domain of the Sun and Moon Sword Union, Ace didn't waste time and continued towards the Sun and Moon Ascension Gates. 

But the thing he noticed while heading there gave him a strange feeling. The first was there weren't any traces of the slits within the union, but they were pretty clear from the outside. 

The second thing was the Qi density of this place had greatly plummeted, and the greatest proof of that was the greenery here was somewhat waned, and many herbs that grow in high-density Qi environment were now slowly withering away. 

The third thing was the Sun and Moon Ascension Gates. As he grew closer, he noticed that the once-crowded place was no longer crowded and was empty as a graveyard.
