Chapter 69: A new protagonist detected
After the rigorous selection process was completed, the newly initiated disciples, including Aric, were officially welcomed into the Heavenly Demonic Sect. The atmosphere was one of subdued celebration; the initiates had passed the trials, but they knew their true journey was just beginning. The sect was a place where power reigned supreme, and weakness was mercilessly eradicated.
Aric's display of prowess during the trials had not gone unnoticed. The elders, experienced cultivators who could sense the potential of others, were particularly intrigued by "Ye Chen." His talent and the ease with which he handled the Heart Gu ritual left many of them eager to take him as a disciple. The sect had always prioritized strength and the ability to cultivate power, and Aric seemed like a promising addition to their ranks.
