It was never the same cultivator who was seen at the various pillars, though. Sometimes it was a Devil; other times it was a humanoid. There was even a Demon Beast or two among the reports. That made the interested parties pretty skeptical about what was happening.
It would be one thing if it was the same cultivator appearing at every pillar. At least then they could assume that the person had some special purpose or ability related to the Goodbye World Pillars. But several completely different cultivators were suddenly doing the exact same thing? That seemed sketchy, to say the least.
Eventually, a few cultivators were specifically put to watch the pillars. They wanted to confirm the reports with their own eyes rather than continue relying on rumors spreading throughout the city. Sure enough, it wasn't long before another cultivator appeared, casually approaching one of the pillars and touching it.
