As soon as the words fell, the void flashed.
Most cultivators only saw a sweep of white light before the ground beneath their feet changed in an instant.
They had been directly moved out of the Changbai Mountain Range.
Those cultivators who had originally resided in the Changbai Mountain Range had already claimed the geographical advantage at the start of the lecture. Being closest to the water, they had gotten the moonlight first, and most had gathered around Heavenly Lake.
Now, those among them who were not fated had also been steadily returned to their respective cave abodes.
The area around Heavenly Lake returned to emptiness. Wind and snow swept across the lake surface, stirring rings of icy light.
Not many cultivators remained. Only scattered figures stood there, their faces filled with excitement.
Being allowed to stay meant they could join the Literary Sect.
From then on, they would have a Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal as their backing and would no longer be ants anyone could casually slaughter.
The Literary Sect was founded upon Immortal Script and taught scriptures and imparted methods to the Ten Thousand Clans of the Primordial Wilderness. Naturally, it required disciples to inherit the sect's legacy and guard its orthodoxy.
Moreover, once the Demon Race Heavenly Court fell, the new Heavenly Court would also need a great many hands.
As the orthodox power on the surface of the Primordial Wilderness, although the Heavenly Court had declined, it still possessed a value that could not be ignored.
Cultivators who entered the Heavenly Court and took office before Hongjun bestowed the Heavenly Book would not be strongly bound by the Investiture of the Gods List, while also enjoying the benefits of incense offerings.
Most importantly, they could seize favorable positions in the Heavenly Court ahead of time.
