Usually, most grade-one forces would recruit disciples during the opening of the Genius Secret Realm. However, they would only take the initiative to recruit truly outstanding grassroots prodigies. These grassroots prodigies could also join some first-grade forces without an invitation, but the treatment between those who were invited to join and those who voluntarily joined was vastly different.
Over the past 10,000 years, two of the three strongest grade-one forces in the Nan Dou Territory, the Ancient Phoenix Clan and the Baili Clan, had only invited a grassroots prodigy each to join them. On the other hand, the third strongest grade-one force, the Thousand Tribulations Sword Sect, had not extended an invitation to anyone in the past 10,000 years.
"I wonder if there will be any grassroots prodigy whom the Thousand Tribulations Sword Sect deemed worthy of extending an invitation to."
