The small island slowly floated over and finally stopped not far from the pier.
Everyone held their breath, waiting.
This small island was the legendary magical secret realm. It's said that once you enter, it's completely different from how it appears on the outside.
Under the expectant gazes of everyone, the selection finally began.
A beam of white light enveloped a cultivator, who slowly floated up. A number appeared above his head: one. Then, a second cultivator was enveloped by the white light, also floating up, with a number above his head: two.
The cultivators who were selected were overjoyed but didn't dare move, fearing that any movement might disqualify them.
More and more cultivators were being selected, and their sects or friends cheered happily for them, feeling joyful.
