To put it plainly, the Imperial Academy enjoys the highest prestige in Traceless Heaven.
And a force like this, naturally attracts countless Martial Cultivators eager to join.
Precisely because of this, the recruitment conditions of the Imperial Academy are extremely stringent. Essentially, even among the top prodigies of Traceless Heaven, only one in billions stands a chance of joining. The odds are far worse than winning the top prize in a lottery on Earth. Once admitted, one is called the Son of the Emperor, representing Traceless Heaven's greatest glory and an unlimited future.
Besides selecting talents from the major forces of Traceless Heaven, the Imperial Academy also targets Great Fate Holders who rank first in certain Ruins or Secret Realms.
