Chapter 704: Sacred Child
The Humanity Sanctum was the core training institution under the jurisdiction of the Sacred Flame Hall, renowned as the Cosmic Radiance Cradle.
As for the Sacred Flame Hall itself, it was jointly authorized and established by Supreme Primordial and Supreme Primeval. The hall was located in the Primordial World—a world deliberately preserved when Primeval attained the Supreme Realm, designated for the daily cultivation of the Hall's practitioners.
Unlike the Heavenly Prison World, which spanned a mere hundred thousand miles, the Primordial World was an immense continent, said to span a hundred trillion miles. Additionally, unlike the Astral World with its inner and core layers, the Primordial World had no such divisions. For those below the rank of Sacred Monarch, traversing this vast continent could only be done through flight.
Yet, even a Solar Flare-level cultivator, who was capable of light-speed travel, would take an entire stellar month to cross such distances.
Moreover, when cultivators travelled at light speed, the energy waves they released grew overwhelmingly strong. In the Humanity Sanctum, where simulated Eternal Oblivion Forces exist, sustaining such speed for even a brief moment could crush a cultivator utterly.
At this moment, Liang Qiu led Li Pin through a scene resembling an Astral Gate traversal. As they crossed space, he continued his explanation. "The selection process for the Eternal Ascent of Humanity Initiative has always followed two paths—one through regional recommendations and the other through direct selection by the Humanity Sanctum.
"Because of this, the program enforces an elimination system. Those who fail to make progress over an extended period are removed from the initiative and reassigned as regular members of the Sanctum."
Liang Qiu smiled. "Of course, I don't think this will be an issue for you, Prodigy Li."
Li Pin nodded.
The Humanity Sanctum served as the operational hub for the Eternal Ascent of Humanity Initiative. However, that didn't mean the entire institution revolved around this program. The Sanctum itself was a training institution within the Sacred Flame Hall, open to descendants of its members who demonstrated exceptional talent.
Those who excelled could then qualify for the Eternal Ascent of Humanity Initiative, becoming reserved candidates for the Cosmic Radiance Realm.
If the Sacred Flame Hall were likened to a sect, then ordinary descendants were akin to outer disciples. Those who passed the tests to enter the Humanity Sanctum would be inner disciples, and those selected for the Eternal Ascent of Humanity Initiative were the true disciples.
