Sure, the Huring Sacred Land existed in the Huring Country. However, that didn't mean the cultivators of the Huring Country had a free pass in the Sacred Land. If anyone there wanted to join, they would have to follow the procedures. Simply put, they had to participate in the recruitment as well.

However, it's a fact that the Huring Country was controlled by the Huring Sacred Land, so their resource, quality of life, skills, and everything else was far above most other countries. That was also reflected in their available slots for recruitment and the average acceptance rate.

"Last time, the Huring Country got 52 of their participants into the Sacred Land."

"They always get more than double than the second place."

"There's no helping it. The Huring Country is sustained by the Sacred Land, after all."

"They're definitely in a different league of their own."
