Chapter 1143

Everyone was shocked. Gaudium Sacred Ground was the strongest sect in the Perpetual World with more than 100 thousand apprentices. Along with their long history and deep roots, they also had many highly-skilled masters, and even the empire was wary of them. It wasn't because the empire wasn't as powerful as Gaudium Sacred Ground. Mainly, the empire wasn't a monolithic entity. Many forces opposed the monarchy's control, or they were merely pretending to follow instructions. On the other hand, things were different with the sacred ground. Everyone only followed the orders from the leader alone. In addition, everyone was highly-skilled and had destructive powers. There were many categories of apprentices in the sacred ground. The most common with the largest number of people was outer apprentice. More than 90 percent of their apprentices were in this category. Next category was regular apprentice. Sometimes, not even one out of ten outer apprentices could become a regular apprentice.
