Recruitment and Disciple Life

Recruitment Ceremony

• Passing condition: Applicants who remain standing after the toll may enter the holy land. A little over three hundred pass from the tens of thousands gathered at the opening ceremony 1 2.
• Lineage selection: Elders and true disciples attend to recruit talented newcomers for their peaks; peak masters rarely appear personally 1.

Strength, Defenses, and Treasures

Purple Firmament Azure Heaven Bell

An immortal sacred weapon left by the founding patriarch, renowned throughout the Eastern Wilderness 1.

• Combat power: Its toll is described as collapsing the myriad Daos and annihilating gods and devils; its pressure vastly exceeds the guardian Dragon Emperor’s 1.
• Recruitment: Produces the heart-tempering illusions used to screen applicants 1 2.
• Communication: Three successive peals summon all peak masters for deliberation 4.
• Symbolism: Its image appears on true-disciple robes and the Purple Firmament Token 3 26.

Protective Formations

• Clear Void Peak’s independence: Even inside the peak, the Holy Lord’s Purple Ultimate Demon Pupils cannot see beyond intervening scenery. Its protection is Jiang Chen’s own installation, not a publicly available sect resource 14 48.

Hidden Reserves

• Dormant ancestors: Jiang Chen discovers dozens of ancient beings in the mausoleum, with others sleeping in forbidden grounds and secret realms. They represent a reserve that could awaken if the holy land’s survival were threatened 5.
• Lifespan limitations: The founding patriarch has little lifespan remaining, and awakening carries an enormous cost 5.
• Limits of preservation: Ancestors with suitable means can seal themselves within rare treasures, but some Dao injuries prevent this. Such predecessors still die when their lifespans end 50.
• Dao Comprehension Tea: Despite tens of thousands of years of accumulation, the communal stock contains only a handful of leaves. Jiang Chen’s Ancient Dao Comprehension Tea Tree belongs to Clear Void Peak, not the general reserves 41 50.

Other Recorded Assets

• Purple Firmament Token: Jiang Chen’s token bears the sacred bell, the holy land’s name, and Clear Void Peak’s designation. He uses it to shatter the Blood Refining Token 26.
• Purple Firmament Blue Firmament Sacred Canon: The Holy Lord’s cultivation scripture; includes the Purple Ultimate Demon Pupils ocular technique 48.
• Purple Pole Bell: Treasure left by a deceased Venerable Lord ancestor and later bestowed on Ye Hao by the Holy Lord 50.
• Cultivation reserves: Include divine abilities, Dao arts, magical treasures, divine weapons, grotto-heavens, and secret realms 4.

History

Clear Void Peak’s Succession

Jiang Chen became Clear Void Peak’s last true disciple roughly a century before the opening recruitment ceremony. After his master Qing Xuanzi died in seated meditation eighty years before that ceremony, Jiang Chen inherited the peak. He remained secluded and accepted no disciples until recruiting Han Yuyao 1 2.

Preparations for the Age of Great Contention

The phenomenon caused by Jiang Chen’s awakening of the Myriad Tribulations Indestructible Physique was interpreted as a warning of an unknown great tribulation. Unaware of its source, the Holy Lord summoned the peak masters and opened all cultivation reserves to members at half their previous contribution-point prices. By Jiang Chen’s return with Ye Hao, many peak masters had already made rapid progress under the new policy 3 4 36.

Jiang Chen’s Public Emergence

Jiang Chen’s defeat of the Hundred Refinements Devil God’s projection brought the holy land renewed attention across the Eastern Wilderness. His public declaration of affiliation also established that the Ye Lineage had its backing, prompting Zhao Wuji and Li Canglan to seek reconciliation with the family 32 33 47.

The leadership subsequently reassessed Jiang Chen. Ancestor Lingtian advised supporting him without probing Clear Void Peak’s secrets, while the Holy Lord offered a supreme elder position that Jiang Chen declined 33 34 36.

Emerging Disciples and Opportunities

Ancestor Lingtian identified the Nameless Heavenly Palace above the Chaotic Cloud Sea as an approaching Divine Spirit ruin and ordered preparations for young disciples to explore it 34.

After Mu Qingyan and Xia Yuwei connected the famed sword cultivator “Fairy Yu” to Han Yuyao, the Holy Lord ordered them to keep her lineage secret and avoid disrupting Jiang Chen’s plans for her training. He later visited Clear Void Peak personally, delivered resources including a Nirvana Pill and Demigod cultivation insights, and offered support for Ye Hao’s early cultivation needs 47 48 49.
