The Yunyan Star was dotted with Aristocratic Clans, their influence deeply rooted and branches spread far and wide. Although the Tianyan Sect recruited disciples regardless of their background, scions of these clans inevitably made up the majority.
If these disciples grew in cultivation and became the next generation of leaders, many factions would inevitably form within the Tianyan Sect.
In truth, this was unavoidable, but Shi Lan wanted to put off the day as long as possible.
Opening a passage beyond their realm and bringing in fresh blood from other stars or worlds was one way to do that.

Golden light flared within her Primordial Spirit in her sea of consciousness. She sent out her divine sense, sensing someone calling to her through that wisp of spirit-soul from beyond the endless reaches of space and time.
These four wisps of essence belonged to those people from the Rubik's Cube she had encountered in the Qinghong Realm. At the time, Shi Lan had acted on a whim, thinking they might prove useful someday. Now one of the wisps had already broken apart—its owner had clearly died.
Shi Lan opened the Empress System panel and tapped the space-time coordinates tab.
