"The Purple Tenuity Heavenly Venerable's sect was called the North Star Immortal Sect. According to the records, it had a total of two hundred and seventy-two disciples."
Yang Wanqing was searching the shelves on the other side. She turned at that number. "Two hundred and seventy-two? A whole sect only had two hundred-odd people?"
"It was the sect with the most disciples in the Thirty-Three Heavens."
Yang Wanqing froze for a moment.
So did the livestream viewers.
"The biggest sect only had two hundred and seventy-two people?"
"The Thirty-Three Heavens! Jupiter! The equivalent of 1,321 Blue Stars, and that was all the people they had?"
"Didn't they say earlier that seven sects took turns managing the place? If each sect only had two or three hundred people... then all the cultivators in the Thirty-Three Heavens combined only numbered one or two thousand?"
"Elite education taken to its absolute extreme."
"I'm siding with the Jie Sect on this one. The Thirty-Three Heavens clearly had room for more people, so why enforce an elite monopoly?"
"Don't forget, the core issue was spiritual energy. The Thirty-Three Heavens had a finite supply. The more people there were, the less each person got."
"So the cause of the Primordial Era war is pretty obvious now. The Nine Provinces had lost their spiritual energy, while the Thirty-Three Heavens still had theirs."
"The sects in the Thirty-Three Heavens were basically the elite class. The Jie Sect's faction rose up to demand a share of the resources."
The likes on that comment shot up as soon as it appeared.
Chen Siyao glanced at the comments without responding.
She would leave the arguments to the viewers. Her job was to gather information.
"Come on. Let's look at the side halls."
