"The experiments began decades ago."
A tremor ran through the crowd.
"They were initiated under the proposal of the current Sect Leader—Wen Haoyu."
The words struck like a hammer.
Wen Haoyu's head snapped upward.
"Ancestor! What nonsense are you spouting?!"
But the Ancestor continued calmly.
"At the time, our Sect faced stagnation. Talent declined, and we were losing our position as a top sect."
His voice was steady, but heavy.
"But we discovered the Sun Dao, a treasure we believed could change our Sect."
There were a lot of murmurs, discussing just what kind of treasure it was for them to think that it could help the whole Sect.
Some even had greed in their eyes, probably thinking about taking it once everything settled down, while others glanced at the Bai Clan, thinking that it might be in their hands.
