"Sir, have you visited Immortal Cloud City before?" 

The old man's question filled the carriage with silence. Known to rule over the sects within a thousand miles radius, the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect was revered for its incomparable might. 

Driven by the influential Immortal Cloud Sword Sect, the Immortal Cloud City had slowly prospered into an influential power. The youngsters in the carriage brought up on tales of the legendary sect naturally held a profound yearning for it. 

"In my youth, I did reside in Immortal Cloud City for several years," the old man responded, a bitter laugh escaping his lips. "However, it was a hard life, leading me to wander for a while. Lately, chaos has taken over, which made me consider retiring back to Immortal Cloud City."

"Sir, could you provide some insights into the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect? Are they highly selective when it comes to accepting disciples?" a voice implored impatiently.
