In a hidden valley within the Great Cang Dynasty.
In the center of the valley floor, a plaza a thousand zhang across had been cleared and leveled.
The ground was paved with a type of deep cyan stone, engraved with simple Array Patterns to help gather Spiritual Mechanism and stabilize the Heart and Spirit, as well as an entire Heaven-Deceiving Array that Qi Yun had personally laid out.
At this moment, fifty figures stood solemnly on the plaza.
They were of varying ages and appearances, both men and women.
But all of them had sharp gazes and condensed auras, with the faint radiance of a Divine Soul flowing around their bodies.
Forty-eight of them possessed auras mostly in the middle to late stages of the Manifestation Realm. Their Divine Souls were solid, capable of manifesting vague forms to interact with the physical world.
