Life After Prison by Silencieux novel Chapter 1880

"Although the power of heaven and earth exists in many places, even supreme saints are unable to wield it. It is only by entering the sacred lake that it would be possible to train and become a supreme saint," Ferland explained. He then opened his mouth and devoured the strands of light. "The sacred lake is the sole place in the entire Southsky region that contains the power of heaven and earth. It is jointly owned by the four major sects, including the Grandiuno Sect."

Ferland's narrative allowed Severin to grasp the uniqueness of the sacred lake. Making a breakthrough to supreme saint necessitated an understanding of the power of heaven and earth, followed by condensing one's power to produce the primal soul. The sacred lake was shared among the four major sects and thus was not exclusively owned by the Grandiuno Sect. However, the Grandiuno Sect was the most dominant of the four.

Severin took a deep breath after digesting the information. Just as he was about to respond, Ferland added, "By the way, the four major sects tend to recruit disciples during the time that access is granted to the sacred lake. If you successfully make a breakthrough to supreme saint, you might have the chance to awaken a spiritual vein or an exceptional martial soul. That would pave the way for you to join one of the four major sects."

This revelation shook Severin and he replied immediately, "Thank you for informing me of that."

Ferland waved his hand and offered a word of caution, "Don't thank me just yet. Your acceptance would depend on your performance."

Severin nodded in agreement and understood the implications of the situation. Ferland's words came as a timely reminder to him. Though he and his group could continue to remain unaffiliated practitioners after making a breakthrough, resources were much harder to come by at the latter levels. Without the support of an established force, their progress would be stuck at a snail's pace. If one of the four sects accepted them as disciples and provided them with the necessary support, it would not be that difficult to gain some resources.
