Yang Family Sacred Land, Heaven-Clearing Academy.
Today was the day Heaven-Clearing Academy officially opened its gates to recruit disciples. Cultivators from every faction in the Central Region had also received the Yang Clan's letters of introduction one after another and were brought into the sacred land by barbarian cultivators.
Of course, not every cultivator who had come to the Northwest had received a letter of introduction.
For Central Region powers such as the Riverland Dynasty, Great Dust Abbey, Sheng Clan, and Jiang Clan, which had stood by the Yang Clan's camp from beginning to end, so long as the junior disciples they brought had no obvious flaws in character, they were all admitted beneath the Technique Academy's mountain gates, regardless of their talent.
As for the majority of factions that had come merely to join the excitement and see the Yang Clan make a fool of itself, a large number of the younger generation they had brought were directly weeded out during the inspection stage in the Barbarian Lands.
The Yang Clan's purpose in organizing Heaven-Clearing Academy's recruitment was, plainly put, to increase the number of outside cultivators and further expand its influence throughout the Canglan Righteous Path.
Thus, they did not place excessive importance on the talent and comprehension of incoming disciples. What mattered more was their temperament and character.
After all, the Yang Clan had no shortage of heavenly prodigies.
Compared with the qualifications of this batch of founding disciples, they cared more about whether these children could truly remain loyal to the Yang Clan in the future and whether they could truly be of use to them.
Among the Central Region cultivators fortunate enough to pass the selection, some could not even be called mediocre in talent. In any other faction, they would have been cast aside
