As time passed, the silence was gradually broken, cries occasionally arose from amongst the autumn woods, it seemed a student of Temple Seminary had entered the proclamation, following this, the crying of a girl could be heard, a senior from the Thirteen Divisions of Radiant Green had fallen from her original ranking of 90 to one that exceeded 100.
In the proclamation’s mid to latter rankings, as it had been for many years, most of the rankers were youths from the Southern Domain, with most of them from the Longevity Sect and Scholartree Manor; especially the Longevity Sect, living up to its reputation as to being the foremost Sect in the world. For the schools in the Capital, including Heavenly Academy, Star Seizer Academy and the three schools located here, their number of rankers combined only slightly edged ahead of the Longevity Sect.
A lot of people unconsciously turned their gazes towards the quiet guesthouse, Gou Han Shi and the other disciples of Li Shan Sect alongside other members of the Southern envoy group were currently staying there – Li Shan Sect was only a branch of the Longevity Sect; everyone knew that apart from Qiu Shan Jun and Gou Han Shi, the other members of the Divine State’s Seven Laws would be listed upon the rankings, the proclamation had just yet to reach their names.
Upon thinking this point, students of Li Palace College, Temple Seminary and the Thirteen Divisions of Radiant Green began feeling a little depressed.
The teachers here were all too aware of the fact that the “blade” of the Longevity Sect was Li Mountain; the Longevity Sect’s strongest youths were all from Li Shan Sword Sect, but this would have been of little comfort for their students; all they could stress was that the cultivation methods of the Southern sects and Orthodox schools were similar in potency, with the Southern Sects concentrating upon building a quick and solid foundation, but for reaching the highest levels of cultivation, they did not show any inherent advantage over the various schools in the Capital, just taking the Proclamation of Liberation as an example, there didn’t exist any disparity in strength between the South and North.
