Twelve years passed quietly, slipping unnoticed through the morning bells and evening drums of the Three Elements Dao Sect.
During these twelve years, nineteen awe-inspiring breakthrough phenomena echoed successively above the Three Elements Dao Sect.
Each time a phenomenon appeared, it signified another Golden Core Perfection Cultivator was attempting to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm. The glow of dawn, thunderclouds, and spiritual energy vortices alternately shrouded the mountain gate, drawing the attention of the entire sect's cultivators.
But the path of cultivation is never smooth. Out of nineteen attempts, only three succeeded in the end. Most cultivators failed to even reach the Celestial Thunder, falling at the first two hurdles.
When the last Nascent Soul glow faded, the entire sect was in jubilation — the names of the three newly promoted Nascent Soul True Monarchs soon spread throughout the Yue Country's cultivation realm.
