As a Perfected Person of the Sword Pavilion with an impeccable pedigree, the Ancestor was an absolute juggernaut to the minor Qi Refining powers of the outside world, no matter how weak he might be.
Therefore, not long after his words went out, the various sects had all arrived.
"Dan Yuan Sect, Ten Thousand Array Hall, Spirit Treasure Institute, Beast Taming Sect, Daoist Talisman Sect, Wine Immortal Sect, Spirit Plant Valley... Good heavens, this is practically a full house for the Hundred Skills of Cultivation!"
This was enough to make Lü Yang's skin crawl. According to the Ancestor, these powers were all, to some extent, propped up by the Sword Pavilion. The entire South was filled with such factions—all profoundly skilled in the Hundred Skills of Cultivation, yet inept at Combat. As a result, they could only seek refuge under the Sword Pavilion's rule.
This was evident from the political landscape of the South.
