Approximately 310 kilometers away from the crater, the first group of cultivators belonging to the 'Temple' had already set up camp next to a couple of mountains at the edge of a forest.
In the dark of the night, torches could be seen placed around a few hundred small tents.
Groups of 4-6 men sat around campfires cooking random things or just using them to keep dry and warm from the occasional drizzle coming their way.
Various beastly sounds echoed throughout the forest, keeping them alert and wide awake.
These were the local mortal warriors the temple would be using during the big fight. They had received basic combat and weapon training after being taken in.
They were also inaugurated on the cultivation systems and taught all basic information which made them vehemently respect all cultivators and treat them as some sort of superior beings.
Away from these tents was another larger tent set up that was lit up without any source of light.
