"Good. Very good. This year's batch of new disciples is even more outstanding than last year's."
A hearty laugh echoed through the air as four streaks of light shot across the sky. In the blink of an eye, they descended upon the square. They were none other than the Four Peaks First Seats, led by the First Seat of Earth Pillar Peak.
After landing, they swept their gazes across the crowd with clear satisfaction. Then, the Earth Pillar Peak First Seat spoke in a steady voice.
"The top fifty new disciples on the New Disciples Ranking will follow me. As for those ranked from fifty-first to twenty thousandth, an elder of Martial Ascension Gate will guide you there later."
As his words fell, the Earth Pillar Peak First Seat raised his hand. A ray of light immediately flew out from his sleeve and soared into the clouds. As it expanded against the wind, it transformed into an ancient and majestic ship, its surface wrapped in dense Immortal Qi that radiated profound antiquity.
