"Welcome Clans of the Inner Ring!"
The meeting ground for The Selection occurred in quite an odd location. The various Fifth and Half-Step Sixth Order Clans all gathered in an area of defense forest. In fact, it was clear that even the relatively small clearing they all stood within was only recently cut down.
Behind the speaker stood a mountain. However, this so-called mountain was more reminiscent of a hill than anything else. This wasn't because of its lack of size, because it still stretched several kilometers into the sky, but rather because what should have been a rocky surface was drowned in greenery and foliage.
This place was filled with powerful vital energy, allowing regular plants and Spiritual Herbs to grow tens of times faster than normally. As a result, this clearing they stood in had to be mowed down every time The Selection was held.
