Those from the Heaven sect were considered fallen gods. They may have been great beings before, but now, they were not even great enough to be classified as one of the great sects. They were now human, thus, humans could scorn them.
Those from the heaven sect led by Protector A'miem stepped out from the crackling array into an awkward atmosphere.
"They actually came?"
"Do they even have tokens?"
"How were they given tokens?"
"Looking at their group, they must have employed some hidden giants to fill up their one-three-six tree,"
"I don't recognize some of those behind them," the discussions were hot.
Those from the heaven sect felt awkward standing there but kept a blank face to it all. They may not be one of the great powers anymore, but they can hold their own. Sect leader Di Tietie and Protector A'miem had not failed. Immediately after they had settled into the sect, a selection was held to decide on those going into the light realm ten years later. After picking about a hundred of them, the sect pulled all their resources and concentrated on raising these hundred within ten years. They gained access to secret texts Protector A'miem had collected and were personally helped with their cultivation. Within the hundred, four groups were formed with each, its own leader. They cultivated together and trained together so that they could survive inside the light realm. They were ready.
Just when many were discussing them, the Jade Phoenix alliance arrived. And again, the audience was hit with another array of beautiful ladies. Although the Jade Phoenix alliance was a mixed alliance, it was known that Lady Mi had a thing for accepting beautiful girls. Over time, those who rose in rank in the alliance ended up those with who she agreed with their looks, or were just too talented, she could overlook their lacking appearance. As such, there was another wave of drooling young men and envious girls as the group made their appearance. They completely ignored the crowd of lower sects and clans and looked toward the five great sects.

"You are early," Lady Mi said.
"You like to make an appearance," Lady Asin answered. It was not known if the different powers had made an alliance for this light realm journey and one did not dare to ask. At this moment, two arrays crackled to life.
"And here comes the true kings of appearances. Arriving late just to make a scene," Lady Asin said.
The Ke and Ku clan arrived almost at the same time. They did not bother with the assessing crowd and made their way to the front of the table, where the other six powers stood. Many could not help but stare at the girl walking behind the Ku clan head. She was followed by a group of two girls and six young men and behind them, about three hundred young cultivators.
"Who is that?"
"I heard the Ku clan had a young miss,"
"Another beauty has appeared!" someone said excitedly.
The light realm was an opportunity for the young to level up really fast, so as many powers had to send in their disciples, the better. The number of slots one could secure for their disciples depended on their ability. It is not known who gives the tokens. It is only known that if the one-three-six tree is completed, an auditor from the nine powers will arrive to confirm this and enter their information into the light realm pull. After that, one only knows that a token with the number of accepted slots appears in the power's possession. To this, day, it is still a mystery. Many say that the light realm is still alive and makes the decision itself. The true story, only the two clans and alliances knew.
When Jia Lin, who is a leader of the four groups in the heaven sect team saw Ku Jian, his heart quickened. It's her. She is from the Ku clan? His reaction was clearly seen by the girl beside him.
"Lady Jian, it's been long," the Ke clan's young master, Ke Kong stared at Ku Jian with a small smile, but she was too busy looking around. Her calm and cold demure coupled with her soft blue dress floating in the wind made her out as ethereal. Seeing her ignore him, he did not frown but chuckled instead.
An array crackled to life when many were not paying attention, and Old Iba and his disciples stepped out. After them, another array followed and Tie Nse walked out.
"It's Patriarch Nse!" someone exclaimed. This caused Old Iba to pout. He came and no one noticed, but this old pervert just put out a foot and it caught someone's eye.
Attention turned, as they looked behind Tie Nse in anticipation, hoping to see for the first time, the person who has been causing many storms in the cultivation world.
