In the Spirit Imperial Sect's Spirit Imperial Hall, thirteen Core Formation cultivators had gathered. Commissioned by the Spirit Turtle Ancestor, they were present to serve as witnesses for Song Yiqing’s apprenticeship ceremony.
At the front of the hall, the spirit tablet of True Monarch Baiyu had been brought forth and placed in the seat of honor. Song Yiqing knelt before the tablet, while the Spirit Turtle Bichang and Zhou Xun stood on her left and right, respectively.
"True Monarch Baiyu, your servant Bichang pays respects. Today, the maiden Song Yiqing, having received the true teachings of the Spirit Imperial Scripture and bonded with a Heavenly-grade spirit beast, has proven herself an excellent disciple. I accept her as a disciple on your behalf, and hereby make this announcement to you!"
