In the eyes of the noble clans, while Mount Song's heritage and foundation might not be as profound as Emei or Mount Jiuyin, it is still one of the most distinguished sects in the Central Plains, ranked among the top three Xuanmen sects, with deep roots in tradition. More importantly, it has connections and proximity, situated within the territory of the Three Enclosures and Four Lodges. Thus, for the noble clans of the Central Plains, Mount Song naturally becomes the first choice for sending their descendants to apprentice at this nationally significant cultivation sect.
Of course, although Mount Song's entrance exams are considered easier compared to Emei, this is only relative within the Xuanmen system. Nowadays, standardized entrance exams and topics from Cloud Platform Peak are used, which still make admission quite challenging.
