....
In the Divine wind empire, the emperor has three princes and one princess. This empire has it's own power struggle. As the emperor stuck in the late stage core formation realm for nearly 30 years, his life span is coming to its end.
The emperor was always busy with the work, so he doesn't get enough time to rest... Let alone cultivation. So he decided to choose a crown prince from those three princes.
The oldest one is first prince. He is already in his twenties. And in the peak of qi condensation realm.
The second prince is now 19 years old and in the late stage of qi condensation realm. He was held as a genius for reaching this stage in 17 years old,..but the title of genius is no longer with him. Because of the princess and his younger brother the third prince.
As a 18 years old girl, the princess was already in the beginner stage foundation establishment realm. She can manipulate wind element effortlessly.
Lastly the youngest the third prince who is more monstrous than the princess. He is 16 years old and already in the same stage as the princess. People called him as the little emperor ...cause of his rare dual element affinity ...same as the first emperor.
He holds the affinity for rare element thunder and wind. Cause of this everyone knows he will have a divine core at the core formation stage. his talent has made him enemies with the first and second prince.
The first and second prince looked him as a thorn in their eyes. But despite being a prince they can't do anything to third prince. Cause third prince's monstrous talent has attracted the eyes of an inner sect elder of the 'sacred Lotus sect'.
Sacred lotus sect is like a mammoth in the cultivation world. They hold the Supreme authority over the three empires. There every outer elder is in in core formation realm practitioner.
Anyone can become a outer sect disciple if he has an outstanding talent or a foundation establishment realm cultivation.
But To gain access or to become a inner sect disciple one have to participate in the year end competition. He has to secure a position in top 50. Then the inner sect elders will choose their disciples from them. Those inner sect elders are in nascent soul realm.
Every one of them can be said a powerhouse in the empire. But that's not all...
After the inner sect ,...comes core area of the sect . Where core elders and sect leader cultivate. Every core elders are in beginner stage spirit severing realm and the sect leader is in mid stage of spirit severing realm.
To become a core disciple one has to participate in the battle arena. Where the participants have to battle with each other without rest. Then they will be ranked according to the number of match they have won. The top 5 will join the core sect as a core disciple. And among them the one who has the best potential will become the saint of the sect...under the care of sect leader.
But that's not the end. There are some people who are more powerful than sect leader and core elders. These people are sect protectors. In everyday cases they don't interfere in sect affairs. But when the sect is in danger... they will come out from their cave abode.
These people are known as legacy elders. They have the authority to command the sect leader. Each one of them have the cultivation of void star stages. Their disciples are known as legacy disciple. According to seniority legacy disciple and sect leader are same.
It's not that easy to become a disciple of a legacy elder. To become a legacy disciple one needs to defeat every core disciples within a day. Which is very difficult, cause different core disciple uses a different elements and power.
