"Are the other Great Families coming here too?!"
"What's up with this year? Why are people from the Eight Great Families coming as well?!"
That's right.
The Eight Great Families, located in Upper Asphodel—also known as the Central Capital. Unlike Elysium and Tartarus, Upper Asphodel was very small, and was more accurately described as an enormous city rather than a dimension of its own. That's why it was also named Central Capital, home to the Eight Great Families and Heavenly Medicine Pavilion. There weren't any sects in Upper Asphodel—since the Eight Great Families themselves could be considered top sects in their own right.
One by one, the brigades of each of the Eight Great Families settled down in the empty space made for them by the lightning earlier, and the representatives of each one—namely the strongest young masters of each family—stood out.
