Just when everyone thought that the group of students who had successfully undergone Soul Casting at Unparalleled Academy would shake the foundations of the great families in alliance form, an unexpected force made its move.
The Dutian Heavenly King, under the pretext of quelling turmoil, captured graduates of Unparalleled Academy throughout Xiehe and forcibly dispersed so-called alumni and networking meetings.

As for the elite families, they naturally supported this move wholeheartedly—not because they were against Unparalleled Academy, but because they loathed the loosely organized cultivators who switched from old to new powers.
Compared to past disturbances in villages and towns that could be suppressed by dispatching a squad of city guards, now it was necessary to have Fierce Realm powerhouses accompany them.
