Lin Mu looked at the floating map again.
Entire continents.
Cities.
Branches.
Millions upon millions of people.
Countless experts.
Hidden ancestors.
And somewhere within all that...
The vault.
The third ring.
He slowly exhaled.
"This is going to be troublesome."
Lady Kang nodded immediately.
"Extremely."
Min Ju finally spoke.
"There is more."
Everyone looked toward her.
She handed another jade slip to Lady Kang.
Lady Kang read it.
Her expression changed slightly.
"What is it?" Lin Mu asked.
Lady Kang looked at everyone.
"The sect has begun preparations for a recruitment cycle."
Meng Bai straightened.
"Recruitment?"
Lady Kang nodded.
"A major one."
She enlarged the projection again.
Large banners appeared.
Selection notices.
Schedules.
Invitations.
"The main sect is accepting new disciples."
The room suddenly grew quiet.
Lin Mu looked at the screen.
Then at Lady Kang.
Their eyes met.
Neither spoke.
But everyone understood.
An opportunity had just appeared.
Lin Mu looked at the floating projection while several recruitment notices slowly scrolled across it. Various worlds, branch locations, candidate numbers and elder movements were all listed one after another.
He remained silent for a few moments before finally speaking.
"This large scale recruitment..." Lin Mu began. "When exactly did it start?"
Lady Kang adjusted the projection and brought up another set of records.
"Technically?" she replied. "It began a couple years ago."
Meng Bai blinked.
"A couple years?" he asked. "And it is still going on?"
The young man looked genuinely stunned.
He had expected perhaps several months at most.
Elyon spoke before Lady Kang could answer.
