The villager's house wasn't far, just three to four li away from the entrance. Along the way, Old Antique and Daoist Taotie enjoyed the scenery.
Just as the villager had said, there weren't many people living here, and most of them had low cultivation realms. Old Antique guessed that these were all cultivators who had accidentally entered the Gate Between Worlds in the past.
This fit what the villager had said earlier.
Each time the Gate appeared, its descent and opening would create a violent storm which would always suck in nearby innocent cultivators. According to the record of the Gate's opening last year, at least a hundred thousand cultivators had been swallowed up by the Gate.
Obviously, the cultivators living in this village were the survivors.
How much despair must these weak cultivators have felt back then, when they'd gotten drawn into this place?
