The Danling Sect was the only one of the four major sects in the Southern Border Prefecture famed for its alchemy.
And the Danling Sect's annual assembly was a major event for the entire Southern Border Prefecture.
But this year, it seemed to be something far greater.
A full month before the sect assembly was set to begin, the Danling Sect was already bustling with activity, building up hype.
Some factions claimed the Danling Sect was no longer content with its standing in the Southern Border Prefecture and was looking to advance further.
Others suggested that the Danling Sect had gained the backing of a major power and was planning to soar to new heights.
But regardless of the rumors, one fact was undeniable: the Danling Sect was currently in the limelight like never before.
It was even rumored that representatives from the empire's five great divine sects would be in attendance.
