Immortality from plundering luck

Chapter 155 Taiming Tianzong, Chief Disciple's Discussion

"Outstanding disciples from each peak?" Shi He confirmed again.

"That's right," Wang Teng nodded and said sincerely, "Now that things have come to this, I will tell you everything. In fact, the reason why I invited Brother Shi to Zhongzhou is because I intend to let Brother Shi join our Taiming Tianzong. After all, Brother Shi has such amazing talent. If he becomes the king of this small Xuzhou, although his life will be comfortable, it will be a waste. Only a holy place like Zhongzhou is where warriors like us should stay."

"Of course, I will not force Brother Shi to join our sect. In fact, the territory of Central Continent is as vast as the entire Northern Territory, with a total of fifty states. There are too many powerful forces in this land, and there are six top forces among them."

"Zhongzhou calls them the six major sects."

"Which six major sects?" Shi He asked curiously.

"Of these six major sects, our sect is naturally one of them. In addition to our sect, there are Piaomiao Fairy Palace, Xuankong Realm, Kunlun Mountain, Heaven, and Yunyou Temple. These six major sects are all located in Zhongzhou without exception."

Shi He didn't recognize the first few names, but when Wang Teng mentioned Yunyou Temple, he suddenly perked up.

If we ask who helped him the most in his cultivation, then it would naturally be the system.

He was able to have his current achievements and advance from the Mortal Body Realm to the Purple Mansion Realm in just a few months, all thanks to the power of the system.

But if we add the definition of "person", then it would naturally be Xiaoyaozi.

Until now, Shi He still can't forget the elegance of the green-robed Taoist priest Xiaoyaozi.

Even the main technique he practiced, the Flame Demon Sutra, was given to him by Xiaoyaozi.

Without the assistance of the Flame Demon Sutra, Shi He's strength would probably not have improved so rapidly.

And the Taoist priest in green robe, Xiaoyaozi, came from Yunyou Temple.

But if I remember correctly, didn't Xiaoyaozi once say that Yunyou Temple is a sect in the northern border?
How did it suddenly become one of the top six sects in Central Continent?
"Brother Wang, can you tell us in detail about these six major sects?" Shi He said with great interest.

"It seems that Brother Shi is quite interested in this aspect," Wang Teng smiled and said, "Although these six major sects are all considered top sects, in fact, there are differences in strength."

"Among these six major sects, Taiming Tianzong, Kunlun Mountain, and Heaven are the strongest, followed by Xuankong Realm and Piaomiao Fairy Palace. As for Yunyou Temple, its style is indeed different from other sects. There are few people in Yunyou Temple, but every disciple of Yunyou Temple is extremely powerful. However, even I have not met many disciples of Yunyou Temple so far."

Speaking of this, Wang Teng looked quite strange.

"Why? Could it be that this disciple of Yunyou Temple has been traveling around the world?" Shi He thought of what Xiaoyaozi had said before. After all, it was not too far away from now. Only a few months had passed, and Shi He still remembered their previous conversation quite clearly.

"Brother Shi, you hit the nail on the head," Wang Teng smiled and stroked his palm, saying, "For some reason, the Taoist priest of Yunyou Temple likes to travel around the world, so there are not many people left in Yunyou Temple. But even so, no one dares to attack Yunyou Temple."

"Why is this happening?" Shi He was a little confused.

Apart from other things, Yunyou Temple has been passed down for a long time, and the Sutra Library contains a lot of scriptures, resources and treasures. Although Yunyou Temple is one of the six major sects, if there are few disciples left in the temple as Wang Teng said, then according to common sense, there should be many people eyeing these resources.

"Because this Yunyou Temple is somewhat peculiar," Wang Teng said with envy, "I heard that this entire Yunyou Temple is a treasure, floating around the fifty states of Zhongzhou all the time. Today this Yunyou Temple is still here, and the next moment it may appear tens of thousands of miles away."

"So, ordinary people don't know where Yunyou Temple is. Even if they want to join Yunyou Temple, there is no way. This also leads to the scarcity of disciples in Yunyou Temple."

"I have heard from my elders that there are only a few hundred Taoist priests in Yunyou Temple."

"So little," Shi He said with a surprised look on his face.

According to what Wang Teng said, the Taiming Tianzong is conservatively estimated to have tens of thousands of disciples, while the Yunyou Temple, which is also one of the six major sects, has only hundreds of disciples. This is a bit outrageous.

Could it be that each of these Taoist priests in Yunyou Temple can fight a hundred people alone? Or do they have three heads and six arms?
Or do you want to cultivate the magical power of turning beans into soldiers and creating unlimited shadow clones?
"If so, why can Yunyou Temple be called one of the six major sects? Is there something special about the inheritance of Yunyou Temple?" Shi He asked in a deep voice.

“Not really,” Wang Teng shook his head and explained, “The reason why they are considered the six major sects is not because of other reasons, because these six major sects have been passed down for tens of thousands of years, and in these tens of thousands of years, although they have declined several times and their strength has declined, their inheritance has never been cut off, and,”

"For thousands of years, these six major sects have always had at least one Star Realm master in charge,"

Shi He suddenly realized.

The path of martial arts starts from the mortal body realm, and goes through true energy, jade liquid, primordial elixir, purple mansion, spiritual sea, virtual god, Milky Way, stars, divine treasure, and eternity.

The existence of warriors in the Eternal Realm is already a legend, and there are very few warriors in the Divine Hidden Realm. At least from the information revealed in Wang Teng's words, there is currently no sect in the entire Dongji Realm that has such powerful warriors.

Then, the Star Realm masters are already considered the top warriors in this realm.

For a sect, the number of people and scale are important, but the key is the top masters.

It is not too difficult for a Star Realm warrior to exterminate a sect that does not have a Star Realm warrior in charge.

When one has cultivated martial arts to this level, it is no longer difficult to shatter mountains and rivers, cut off the flow of rivers, or create a man-made disaster.

At this point, Wang Teng also became excited and said enthusiastically: "Although these six major sects are all top forces, they are actually divided into upper and lower levels."

"Just like I told you before, Taiming Tianzong, Heaven, and Kunlun Mountain are at the same level, and Xuankong Realm and Piaomiao Immortal Palace are at another level."

“So the disciples in the five major sects often jokingly refer to it as three longs and two shorts.”

"What happened?" Shi He had a strange look on his face. This damn sense of memory reminded him of the situation in his previous life.

"There's nothing much to say about these two short ones. There are also some differences among these three long ones," Wang Teng said with a smile, "But there's nothing much to say. Everything depends on the abilities of the Star Realm ancestors of the major sects. Under the stars, everything is an ant." "What about Yunyou Temple?"

"The situation at Yunyou Temple is special. Even now, my father doesn't know how many things Yunyou Temple hides," Wang Teng shook his head and said solemnly, "But at least Yunyou Temple has a great master in the Purple Mansion Realm."

"Besides, I'm afraid there is more than one."

“So, if we really want to talk about it, among the six major sects, the most terrifying ones are these Taoist priests with big noses in Yunyou Temple.”

"No one knows what they are hiding." Wang Teng said with emotion.

He glanced at the iron five on the ground and said, "I've gone a bit too far. Besides, this ranking competition can be called a strategy of raising poisons, but I prefer to think of it as a gamble, except that gambling is about money, while ranking competitions are about life."

"Besides, whether you have talent or not can be seen at a glance when you fight with warriors of the same level."

"If you win, it means you have strength and talent, and it is worth the sect's efforts and investment of more resources to cultivate you. On the contrary, if you fail, if you can't even save your own life, then you deserve to die, which means that you simply cannot survive in this world."

Wang Teng said lightly.

He turned to look at Shi He and said in a deep voice: "No sect would be willing to accept a disciple who has invested a lot of resources to train, but is a waste."

"Once or twice is fine, but if it happens too many times, even a sect as big as Taiming Tianzong would not be able to bear it. It would have been extinct in the long river of time, so how could it be passed down to this day?"

"Let's not talk about anything else. The other five major sects all have their own methods of selecting disciples."

Wang Teng’s words are concise and to the point.

Shi He nodded in understanding. Although what Wang Teng said was a bit harsh, it was exactly the way of survival of these sects that could be passed down for thousands or even tens of thousands of years.

"Those mediocre disciples should be worried about these ranking competitions. For warriors like Brother Shi who have extraordinary talent and outstanding combat power, these ranking competitions should be a good thing." Having said this, Wang Teng smiled.

"Oh, why?" Shi He was slightly curious.

"Strictly speaking, this ranking competition is divided into two rounds. In the first round, warriors of the same faction and the same realm compete. For example, in my Youyun Peak, the realms of all disciples range from the Jade Liquid Realm to the Void God Realm, which is the third to sixth realm of warriors, and can be divided into four levels. Disciples of each level will compete with disciples of the same level, and finally the top two of each level will be decided, a total of eight. These eight disciples will represent the faction and participate in the second round of battles."

"The second round is a duel between warriors from different factions. Taiming Tianzong has a total of thirty-six peaks. In addition to the main peak, each peak is a school, so there are a total of thirty-five schools. Each school sends out eight disciples, which means that there are more than two hundred disciples participating in the second round of duels. The final result of the duel is the ranking of the peak, and this ranking is no joke."

"The ranking determines the cultivation resources that the sect can obtain in the next three years. The higher the ranking, the more cultivation resources can be obtained. In addition, the sect will also have generous rewards for the disciples who participate in the final battle. After all, as long as these disciples survive, they will basically be the core force of the sect in the future, and at the very least, they will be elders of each peak."

"It is no exaggeration to say that these people are the sect's true wealth, priceless treasures, and hope for the future. People like Tie Wu are nothing but trash."

"We will all die sooner or later. Instead of wasting so many resources, it is better to die earlier and save so many resources. The sect will provide these saved resources to those who are truly chosen by heaven. This is the way of inheritance that a great sect should have."

Wang Teng glanced at Tie Wu with contempt, his eyes full of mockery.

"You" Tie Wu looked at Wang Teng angrily.

He realized later that the one who had captured him here was the leader of the Flame Demon Gang. He just didn't expect that the leader of the Flame Demon Gang was so powerful.

Being able to capture him in an instant, this guy must be at least one realm higher than him.

It seems that Wang Teng reached some kind of deal with the leader of the Flame Demon Gang.

"Are we not considered disciples in the eyes of you powerful people?" Tie Wu said coldly, "What's the difference between your actions and those of the Demon Sect?"

Wang Teng smiled and said, "It counts, of course it counts. But resources are limited, while disciples are infinite. There are a lot of disciples with your qualifications out there. If you don't work hard, someone else will. This is competition."

"Survival of the fittest, the fittest survive, the predators are eliminated, don't you understand this principle?"

"In fact, when it comes down to it, our sect is really no different from the Demon Sect, but," Wang Teng suddenly changed the subject and said, "In this world, whoever has the bigger fist is right. My Taiming Tian Sect says that we are an upright sect, so who dares to say that we are a demon sect?"

There was a strong sense of pride in Wang Teng's words.

Shi He couldn't help but be moved. Even an ordinary disciple could have such confidence in the sect. It seemed that the Taiming Tianzong was indeed extraordinary.

"What I said above is for weaklings like you, but for you, Brother Shi, this ranking competition is definitely a good thing," Wang Teng turned to look at Shi He and said with a smile, "With Brother Shi's strength, this ability to fight across levels, although there are many people in our sect who can do it, there are definitely very few who can do it as easily as Brother Shi."

"With Brother Shi's strength and talent, becoming an inner disciple is just a natural thing. With a little effort, it won't be difficult for him to become a direct disciple." Wang Teng patted his chest and said confidently.

"I heard that above the direct disciples, there is a chief disciple?" Shi He asked curiously.

"Chief disciple," Wang Teng groaned for a moment, and said, "This chief disciple is very difficult. There are thirty-five peaks in the entire Taiming Tianzong, excluding the main peak, and there are only ten chief disciples. Therefore, not every peak can have a chief disciple, but it is different for direct disciples. There are as many as seven or eight, and as few as three or four."

"Therefore, as long as one's aptitude is not bad and one's cultivation reaches that level, there is a great hope of becoming a direct disciple. Even if one fails in the competition this time, there is still hope next time.

However, it is very difficult for a disciple to become the chief disciple.

Basically, they all come from powerful factions. For example, Luoyang Peak, where this guy comes from, ranks last among the thirty-six peaks in overall strength, and has not produced a chief disciple in the past hundred years. And Youyun Peak, where I am, ranks in the upper-middle level among the thirty-six peaks, but it has never appeared either. However, this time, the eldest brother has some hope. "

Shi He nodded in understanding.
