Supreme Great Sun Heavenly Palace.
Jiang Ding was receiving the current Grand Elder of the Shangqing Lingbao Sect.
He was a decrepit old man, his hair gray-white and his face mottled with age. He was at the Heavenly Being Peak, and after failing to break through to Supreme a few years ago, his lifespan had been drastically depleted. He probably had only a few decades left to live.
That was already extraordinarily fortunate.
Countless Heavenly Beings died when advancing to Supreme, their spirits annihilated, unable even to have their bodies buried in their sect's graveyard.
Over the years, thanks to the stable and peaceful environment of the Seven Great Star Domains, including Beidou, as well as the lack of restrictions—and even policies encouraging Heavenly Beings to forge their own paths and advance to Rule Limit Supreme—many Heavenly Being Grade Sects had gained an opportunity to produce Supremes.
The Shangqing Lingbao Sect was a typical weak faction of this kind.
Over these hundreds of thousands of years, they had attempted to advance to Supreme seven times. Each time, they had mobilized the strength of the entire sect, yet every attempt had failed. Their ability to obtain resources was too weak, and the peerless prodigy the sect had awaited for so long had never appeared.
Under the current circumstances, where the human race of the Seven Great Star Domains was united and movement was unrestricted, peerless prodigies often chose stronger sects. More ambitious prodigies studied the Supreme Great Sun Sword Scripture; at the very least, they entered a Supreme sect. The Shangqing Lingbao Sect held far too little appeal for such talents.
Unless an outstanding figure appeared who was extraordinarily compatible with the Shangqing Lingbao Great Dao, this sect would likely find revival difficult even after another million years.
