The council's response to this newly revealed, considerably widespread pattern of sophisticated Preservation infiltration ultimately settled toward an ambitious, comprehensive initiative that Bai Yun herself proposed during a critical strategic session nearly a month into their continued, urgent investigation."I believe we need to establish something considerably more systematic than our previous, case-by-case vigilance," she explained, presenting her carefully developed proposal to the assembled council. "A formal verification network, tracking every independent practitioner and methodology operating throughout our broader alliance's territory, with genuine, transparent documentation regarding actual outcomes and success rates, available for any fallen soul or guide to properly review before committing to whatever particular guidance they're considering."The proposal carried genuine, considerable ambition, and the council's careful deliberati

The Verification Network's successful implementation, combined with the Widening Path's continued, expanding demand across an increasingly extensive territory, brought Nine Heavens' council toward recognizing a genuine, considerable limitation in their continued mission's sustainable growth — a limitation that Bai Yun articulated clearly during a strategic session convened nearly six months after Chen Bo's own eventual, successful reconciliation. "We're reaching the practical limits of what our current, informal training methodology can sustainably support," she observed, presenting careful analysis she had developed over recent months of dedicated study. "Every guide we've successfully cultivated, from Fen Lu through Zhou Min and now Mei Chen, has required years of direct, personal mentorship from our most experienced practitioners. Given the continued, expanding demand across our broader network, I don't believe this individualized approach can genuinely s

The journey toward Su Lin's brother's remote, previously unreached territory brought Mei Chen and her determined companion across nearly five weeks of considerable, demanding travel, venturing into regions where Nine Heavens' broader network's influence and established presence proved genuinely minimal, testing both women's careful preparation and mutual, developing trust throughout this significant, personally meaningful expedition."Tell me more about him," Mei Chen requested, during one of their evening conversations as their journey's considerable distance continued unfolding, understanding that thorough preparation would prove genuinely essential toward whatever difficult intervention still awaited them."His name is Su Wei," Su Lin explained, her own voice carrying evident, careful emotion beneath practiced composure. "We were close, growing up — considerably closer than most siblings, given our own particular family circumstances. He died

The Academy's successful defense, achieved despite genuine and considerable cost, ultimately produced consequences within the Preservation's own remaining, decentralized structure that Ah Jiu brought to Cloudreach's attention several weeks after the assault's difficult, hard-won resolution."This failed assault appears to have precipitated genuine, significant crisis within their remaining leadership," she reported, during a strategic council session convened to properly assess this important, evolving development. "The considerable resources and coordination this attack required, combined with its ultimate, comprehensive failure, has apparently exhausted much of their remaining capacity for this kind of direct, large-scale action.""What does this suggest for their continued, future strategy?" Wei Lian asked, her own careful strategic attention working through the implications this significant development suggested."I believ

The council's careful, deliberate planning for this unprecedented expansion ultimately settled toward a cautious, exploratory first mission — Mei Chen herself volunteering to lead this significant, historic undertaking, understanding that her own considerable experience across numerous previous interventions, combined with her demonstrated capacity for adapting to genuinely unfamiliar circumstances during Su Wei's own remote, challenging case, made her genuinely well-suited toward this unprecedented, pioneering responsibility."I want to accompany you," Ah Jiu said, during the careful strategic planning that preceded this historic expedition's eventual departure. "My own centuries of accumulated experience with the mechanism's underlying structure should prove genuinely valuable toward properly navigating whatever unprecedented circumstances we ultimately encounter."The preparation for this genuinely unprecedented crossing required considerable
