Within the Dao Sect.
The disciples above and below now cultivated in different atmospheres.
Those who yearned to devote themselves wholly to the Dao set their sights on the Dao-Seeking Main Lineage.
Some were peerless prodigies, unrivaled geniuses, and they too turned their gaze toward the Dao-Seeking Main Lineage. Among the many main lineages, the Dao-Seeking Hall had the highest threshold.
Yet it also had the most geniuses entering it.
There, one found both fellow disciples and companions of the Dao.
Others settled for the next best thing. Unable to enter the Dao-Seeking Hall, they instead went to the Outer Sect Main Lineage, which dealt most often with the Dao Sect's affairs beyond its gates.
In this flourishing age of cultivation, where changes rose and fell unpredictably, this trait was both perilous and full of opportunity.
Beyond that, the Outer Sect Main Lineage seemed to encompass ten thousand worlds. Those who preferred pursuits beyond cultivation and focused on nurturing Spirit Plants would likewise turn their eyes toward the outer sect.
Among the other main lineages, not everyone could enter the Sword Lineage, and the Law Enforcement Lineage likewise had requirements for its disciples.
The Dao-Seeking Main Lineage had the highest threshold, but the Outer Sect Main Lineage was the most accommodating.
It was once again time for the mountain gates to open once every hundred years.
Lu Qing's incarnation gazed out from Sun-Moon Spirit Plant Peak.
The mountain gates stood wide open.
It meant that another batch of new disciples was entering the Dao Sect.
Lu Qing looked in those directions. Some came from small worlds of the lower realms, some from minor worlds beyond the heavens, and some from the Heavenly Domain of the Profound Heaven Dao Academy.
Quite a few were natives of the Nine Heavens as well.
