In the Xuanyuan Realm, at the Dao Xuan Sect.

It has been several decades since the last time the demonfolk headed south. The Dao Xuan Sect made a name for itself in that battle, not only leading the cultivators to defend the heart of the Middle Lands, preventing the demonfolk from ever truly breaking through, but even taking over the demon kingdom.

This battle forced many reclusive great cultivators to emerge from hiding, and some rogue cultivators even passed the assessments to join the Dao Xuan Sect.

The current Dao Xuan Sect has surpassed any previous era, in both strength and prestige, even stronger than when the Great Elder was around.
