The mountain where White Cloud Cave Mansion sits is exceptionally beautiful, even more breathtaking than Master Lu's Bamboo Elegance Garden.
Soon, Lu Chang'sheng arrived at a spacious platform, where a Guiding Cultivator led him into Cloud Hall to begin the Entry ritual.
The so-called Entry ritual is rather particular, requiring the swearing of a Daoist Oath never to betray the sect; besides that, there was one thing Lu Chang'sheng hesitated over.
Namely, the retention of essence blood.
A cultivator's essence blood is extremely important—some potent Magics can use it to affect the cultivator directly, including tracking, cursing, invading dreams, and more.
It could be said, leaving behind your essence blood is handing the sect a piece of leverage over you.
Of course, if it were only this, most cultivators would probably resist such a rule.
After all, cultivating the Immortal Dao is in pursuit of longevity and freedom; no one wants a hold placed in another's hands.
