News of this spread like wildfire across the Three Thousand Dao Prefectures.

The selection of a Dao Child was different from that of a Divine Child. Divine Children were typically the heirs to a Sacred Land, individuals of noble birth, with only a rare few rising from humble origins. Moreover, the selection of a Divine Child happened early. They were either the offspring of a Sacred Land's elder or some old monster, and if they were discovered to possess an unparalleled constitution from a young age, their position was essentially set.

The process of selecting a Dao Child, however, was far more prolonged. The difference between a Dao Sect and a Sacred Land was that the former recruited talent from all walks of life. Only after passing through numerous trials, countless comparisons, and distinguishing themselves through sheer strength would a candidate finally be confirmed as the Dao Child.

The ages of these Dao Children varied greatly, but their potential had to be sufficient. Of course, the majority of Dao Children were still the descendants of the powerful experts within the Dao Sects.
