A month has passed since the last battle with the Rain Country, and only now have the massive supplies left by the Witch Clan been mostly cleared and transported back to Qingming.
The situation had just stabilized when every day, hundreds of Loose Cultivators flocked to Qingming, most of whom were Body Refining Practitioners.
These Loose Cultivators had heard that Qingming might offer those with no hope of ascension the opportunity to advance to Dao Foundation, so they came to try their luck. As more and more Cultivators arrived, the number of those wishing to be promoted swiftly exceeded a thousand.
Many Cultivators did not come alone; some were fathers bringing their children, others were fierce wives dragging their meek husbands. There were also Daoji Ancestors on the brink of death, dragging the only relative with somewhat decent talent in the family.
