Jiang Ding stared at the hundreds of kneeling Nascent Soul cultivators before him.
Some were from the Tiger Clan, some from the Vine Demon Clan, some from the Human Race, and some from the Stone People Race... A motley mix of various races, all of whom served the Magic Stone Clan—the former rulers of this Minor Thousand World—for purposes ranging from production and servitude to sustenance.
Some were older Nascent Soul cultivators with experiences from the era of the Xianmen Sect.
Others were Nascent Soul cultivators who had only emerged in recent years.
The older ones likely had Spirit Restrictions imprinted on their Divine Souls by the Xianmen Sect's forces during their grand sweep across the worlds. Such measures ensured obedience, as relying solely on their self-discipline and morals was not a viable option.
Of course, Xianmen's restrictions were usually dormant unless one violated the relevant laws, activating them only under specific circumstances.
