High Elder Palm Saber looked toward the closed doors.
"But our sect does not allow children to cultivate to the Nascent Soul Realm before reaching an appropriate stage of physical growth."
The rule was an old one.
A cultivator's physical appearance usually became fixed after reaching the Nascent Soul Realm. While methods existed to alter one's appearance afterward, deliberately allowing children to advance too quickly was generally discouraged.
The Heavenly Stream Guardian Sect enforced this more strictly than many other organizations due to there having been certain concerning incidents in the past. They had been big enough that it had been discouraged entirely.
"Exactly." High Elder Shatter Peak replied. "A ten year old Immortal shouldn't exist here."
"Unless the appearance is fake."
"An illusion?"
"Possible."
"Or a disguise technique."
High Elder Palm Saber nodded. "Also possible."
