The large plaza was surrounded by towering lotus-shaped spires, their crystalline surfaces shimmering under the sunlight.
At the center stood a grand stage adorned with radiant lotus carvings and glowing runes, signifying the sect's unity and light.
Disciples and elders were already gathering, their robes flowing elegantly as they took their places. The aura of anticipation was palpable.
