One day later.
It was a gibbous moon, and the weather was freezing. But that did not deter the multitude of people dressed in colourful robes who stood at attention as they solemnly gazed at the open pagoda hovering several meters above them in the air.
These people all had their auras restrained, but one could tell that they were all cultivators. Another extra detail was that they maintained a wide berth from each other in pairs.
These were the Saint candidates of the Taboo Order and their Saint Shadows, and there were seven hundred and eighteen of them in total.
As for the final two...well, they were presently inside the open pagoda.
Di Tian had his face schooled in a neutral expression as he lay supine on a flat platform at the center of the pagoda. His upper body was bare; he wasn't wearing a shirt.
