"Reporting to the Grand Elder: the latest group of disciples has arrived."
"Good. Let them in."
In a secluded aristocratic clan manor in the Central Province of the Spirit-Taming World, Grand Elder Lianshan sat at the head of the hall. After hearing his trusted subordinate's report, he immediately ordered him to bring them in.
Soon, a group of young men and women dressed in matching white robes was led inside.
They were all brimming with youthful vigor, each exceptional in looks and bearing. Their glances shone with lively intelligence, utterly unlike the dull, unremarkable faces of ordinary mediocrities.
Someone reported their details to him: "Fourteen newly admitted disciples, aged fourteen to twenty. The lowest cultivation is human rank third turn, and the highest is ninth transformation..."
These were all new recruits taken in by the sect order, including some practitioners of aperture opening and qi refining whom it had gathered under its banner.
Grand Elder Lianshan nodded slightly and looked at the young men and women. "You truly were born at a fortunate time. Recently, the Heavenly Dao has changed, and spirit essence has fallen out of balance. Yet this happens to offer cultivators seeking the Dao like us an excellent opportunity to master the laws and cultivate our own Dao paths. Even calling it a once-in-a-thousand-years opportunity cannot fully capture its wonders."
"And once you master the laws, your attainment of Dao fruit will rival the heaven tier. Provided you do not die as you grow, you may one day become revered masters and founding patriarchs!"
"Today, I, Lianshan, will personally teach you the sect order's secret arts. How much you comprehend will depend entirely on your own fortune!"
Like the Heavenly Dao Alliance, Tian Heng, King Mu, Ye Tianming, and the others, the Supreme Heaven and Heavenly Realms
