Ni Chang's letter, preparing to establish their might [monthly votes requested]

"Ever since Elder Lin ascended, spiritual energy in the Lower Realm recovered, and the cultivation world entered a period of explosive growth. Many cultivators trapped at bottlenecks broke through.

Quite a few also made great strides with ancient treasures left in the Demon Sealing Abyss. A fair number even reached spirit transformation, but most followed Great Jin—"

Upon seeing Lin Chang'an, however, her expression gained a measure of respect. Although they were now both Spirit Transformation Cultivators, Zhao Lingyue still addressed him as Elder Lin.

For one thing, she had not forgotten that Lin Chang'an remained an elder of Mystic Sound Pavilion. For another, it expressed a certain closeness.

Ultimately, he had left too little information behind. It concerned a remote continent, too, and was nearly twenty thousand years old.

Great Jin and those foremost clans were different. Although they too had lost contact nearly twenty thousand years ago, their bloodline inheritances

Consequently, most later ascenders without an ascension route of their own chose to follow Great Jin.

"Spirit Control Sect followed the demonic path, after all. It and Azure Sea Palace were both at odds with Great Jin.
