Han Cai queried, "Will you be able to reel them in?"
Shu Tao shook his head, "They're different from the disciples. Elder Du would personally have to take action."
Han Cai nodded and asked, "What else is going on in the sect?"
Shu Tao shared, "Since war is imminent, the Jade Lotus Dynasty, Lang Nation, Longyi Dynasty, and Shenwei Kingdom will be visiting us as guests. There might be a friendly spar between the disciples of each nation."
Surprised, Han Cai questioned, "War? What kind of war?"
Shu Tao explained, "Our Azure Dragon Nation and its allies might be going to war against the White Tiger Alliance."
Intrigued, Han Cai asked, "What's the cause of the war?"
Shu Tao shrugged, "No one is sure, but most probably resources. Some people mentioned a mystic realm, but no one is certain. Except for the core elders and core members of the allies, no one knows the cause."
Han Cai inquired, "When will this war begin?"
Shu Tao responded, "Maybe in a hundred years or more, maybe before that. I am not sure about that either."
Han Cai asked, "What level of cultivators will battle?"
Shu Tao stated, "The battle will be in the mystic realm, so almost all levels of cultivators will participate."
Upon hearing about the war, Han Cai frowned. Was his luck so bad that after his reincarnation into a prosperous country, this very nation was now heading towards war? It had been peaceful for the last ten thousand years, so what had occurred now that war was on the horizon?
While these thoughts plagued Han Cai, in a distinct part of the sect, similar things were being discussed.
The inner core area of the Azure Dragon Sect had been an expansive territory that stretched across a hundred thousand kilometers, home to only the top 1% of the sect's cultivators. This number might have seemed negligible compared to the sect's total population of over 700,000. However, being part of this elite group had been a prestigious and coveted position held only by the strongest and most committed cultivators.
The environment of the inner core had been a paradise for cultivators. The air had been thick with spiritual Qi, forming a dense mist that shimmered with ethereal light, providing a constant source of nourishment for cultivation. This Qi had been so rich and abundant that it imparted a sense of tranquility and serenity to the entire area, making it an ideal place for meditation and advancement in cultivation.
Sprawling gardens of spiritual herbs and ancient trees, brimming with energy, had existed here. The flowers, vibrant and aromatic, bloomed all year round. Deep, crystal-clear lakes, imbued with spiritual energy, were also found in the area.
The housing facilities had been grand cave abodes designed for optimal absorption of spiritual Qi. Constructed from precious materials and rare spiritual woods, they were inscribed with formations to enhance the flow of Qi. Each abode was surrounded by its private garden, filled with rare herbs and beautiful pavilions for meditation.
At the heart of the Inner Core area had been the Azure Dragon Grand Hall, an enormous, imposing structure of unparalleled grandeur and majesty. This was the place where the sect's elders and most influential figures resided, a symbol of their authority and status within the sect.
A few mountains away from the Grand Hall, nestled within the resplendent Inner Core area, had been the cave abode of the Holy Daughter of the Azure Dragon Sect. This abode, known as the Fairy Lotus Abode, had been a mesmerizing blend of grandeur, opulence, and enchanting feminine charm.
Carved into a towering mountain, the Fairy Lotus Abode had been an enormous structure, its entrance adorned with an exquisite archway of azure jade. The archway, sculpted with delicate dragon motifs and veined with streaks of gold, had greeted visitors with an air rich in dense spiritual Qi.
Inside the cave, the power and refined aesthetics of the Holy Daughter had been evident. The walls of the cave had shimmered with luminescent pearls and precious gemstones, casting a serene, otherworldly light across the expansive space. The floor, paved with polished moonstones, had reflected the gentle light, creating an illusion of a moonlit path.
The main living area boasted plush furnishings crafted from soft silks and velvets in shades of azure and silver, adorned with delicate golden embroidery. The air had carried a faint scent of spirit flowers, lending a soothing, feminine touch to the environment. Despite its comfort, every detail had spoken of the Holy Daughter's status and power.
To the side had been a vast library, home to an extensive collection of ancient scrolls and cultivation manuals, signifying the Holy Daughter's pursuit of knowledge. Adjacent to the library had been a grand cultivation room, where the spiritual Qi had been at its densest, resonating with the powerful formations inscribed on the walls and floor.
Perhaps the most striking feature had been the central garden. A large skylight had filtered in natural light, illuminating a variety of rare spirit flowers and plants. A small, crystal-clear pond had sat in the middle, with multicolored lotus flowers floating serenely on its surface. A gentle waterfall had cascaded down from the side of the cave, its water infused with spiritual energy, creating a soothing melody that resonated throughout the cave.
Despite its grandeur, the Fairy Lotus Abode had been tranquil and harmonious. It wasn't just the residence of the Holy Daughter but a sanctuary that reflected her personality and status within the Azure Dragon Sect.
In the luxurious heart of the Fairy Lotus Abode, the Holy Daughter, Lan Yanmei, was seated majestically at the head of a grand table carved from a single piece of iridescent spirit jade. She was flanked on both sides by three of the sect's inner core disciples: Lan Yulan, Wei Biyu, and Bai Qian.
