Wu Shattered Star River

Baili Ju led the group to the south side of the plaza, where there were over a dozen teleportation arrays.

The group entered a teleportation array, and a flash of white light later, they arrived at a nearby mountain peak.

Blood Drinking Peak!

Blood Drinking Peak was a bit shorter than the main peak and not as large. From here, one could see the main peak. Jiang Han roughly estimated the distance to be about seven or eight miles.

Blood Drinking Peak had far fewer palaces and buildings; Jiang Han roughly counted about several hundred.

Two disciples guarded the teleportation array, both at the ninth level of the Profound Nether Realm. Upon seeing Baili Ju, they quickly bowed and said, "Greetings, Senior Brother."

"Mm!"

Baili Ju didn't seem arrogant. He nodded and briskly led the group towards the main hall.

They passed through the main hall and arrived at a side hall next to it.

On the way, he explained to the group, "The Peak Lord is currently not on the mountain; he went to the Moon Gazing Pavilion. I'll take you to meet the Banner Master. The Banner Master manages all the affairs within the peak. The Banner Master is called Liu Feng; you can just call him Banner Master Liu."

The group nodded. After entering the side hall, they saw an old man sitting inside, buried in his work, looking at a beast-skin scroll with complex patterns. He didn't even acknowledge the group's arrival.

Baili Ju bowed and said, "Banner Master Liu, several new recruits have arrived at the hall. The Palace Lord has assigned them to our Blood Drinking Peak. This one is a descendant of Lord Undying, Jiang Lang."

"Oh?"

Banner Master Liu raised his head, glanced at Jiang Lang a few times, and with a flash of his spatial ring, six spatial rings appeared in his hand. He tossed them to Baili Ju and said, "Take them and explain the rules of the hall to them in detail. I'm very busy."

"Banner Master Liu, you are the Banner Master; you should be the one to guide the new disciples..."

Baili Ju muttered with some dissatisfaction. Banner Master Liu's eyes revealed a hint of coldness, and he said in a low voice, "Baili Ju, are you itching for a beating?"

"Subordinate takes his leave!"

Baili Ju clicked his tongue and led the group out of the side hall.

Once outside, he complained, "Banner Master Liu has been researching and trying to decipher ancient divine arrays recently, and he's become a bit obsessed."

Baili Ju paused and led the group towards the left side of the plaza, where there were countless neat rows of small courtyards, built identically. The lanterns outside the gates had different numbers, making them easy to distinguish.

"You will live in Courtyard Ding Number Two."

Baili Ju stopped outside a courtyard, pointing at Jiang Han and the other two.

He then pointed to Courtyard Ding Number Three next door and said to Qi Bing and the other two, "The three of you will live here. I'll have someone send some daily necessities over later."

After speaking, he looked at Jiang Lang with some apology and said, "Logically speaking, you are a descendant of Lord Undying, so you should be assigned a luxurious courtyard. But according to the rules of the hall, you are a newcomer, so you can only live in this type of courtyard for now."

"It doesn't matter!"

Jiang Lang didn't mind. This small courtyard had three or four rooms, a bathroom, a kitchen, and a toilet. It was enough for him, Jiang Han, and Niu Meng to live together.

Baili Ju settled the group in and had someone send over some brand-new daily necessities. He also took the group to the cafeteria, the martial arts hall, the training room, and other places to look around.

Back in the small courtyard, Baili Ju took out the spatial rings given by Banner Master Liu and distributed one to each person, explaining, "Here is a detailed explanation of the rules of our Flying Immortal Palace. There are also identity jade tokens, one thousand Xuan stones, some basic Xuan materials, ten sets of standard battle robes, and standard battle knives, etc.—the standard equipment for new disciples."

"I still have to go out on patrol!"

Baili Ju seemed to dislike these trivial matters and hurriedly said, "Let me cut to the chase and say a few key points. First, our Flying Immortal Palace doesn't actually have many rules. As long as you don't kill people within the island and don't commit evil deeds outside under the name of a Flying Immortal Palace disciple, the palace basically doesn't care about other things."

"If you have a feud with a certain disciple in the palace, you can go to the Life and Death Arena for a duel, or fight outside the island. As long as you don't get caught with evidence, you can kill at will."

"Second, the disciples in the palace are graded into ordinary disciples and elite disciples. Elite disciples are those who enter the Flying Immortal Ranking. Only those under thirty can be on this ranking, and those on the list can double their resources. If you can enter the top ten of the Flying Immortal Ranking, the resources you can receive each month are ten times that of ordinary disciples."

"So you must work hard to improve your strength. Once you have a certain amount of strength, immediately challenge the disciples on the Flying Immortal Ranking. As long as you win, you will replace his ranking. Of course, you can only challenge once a month."

"Third, the palace pays special attention to military merits. Military merits can be exchanged for merit points, which can be exchanged for resources. For example, we are currently engaged in an island-seizing war with the Mountain of Death. If you participate in it and make military contributions, you will be able to obtain a large number of merit points, thereby exchanging them for a large number of resources, and you can also enter the three secret realms."

"The most important resources of our Flying Immortal Palace are actually the three secret realms. The three secret realms are the Soul Pool, which can enhance the soul, the Dragon Pool, which can enhance the physical body, and the Xuan Valley, which can enhance Xuan power. These are treasures built by our palace at great cost, and they are the foundation of our Flying Immortal Palace."

"One important reason why I want you to fight for the Flying Immortal Ranking is that Flying Immortal Ranking disciples have the qualification to enter the three secret realms for free, without needing military merits. For example, the top ten of the Flying Immortal Ranking have the opportunity to enter each of the three secret realms once a month."

"..."

Baili Ju lectured for a full half an hour, becoming parched from talking.

After he finished speaking, he took a big gulp of tea and said impatiently, "Alright, you will slowly learn many things. If you have anything you want to ask, you can ask."

The group actually only understood half of what he said. Jiang Lang pondered for a moment and asked, "Are there any Divine Inscription Grandmasters in the palace? Can I join the Divine Inscription Hall?"

"No!"

Baili Ju shook his head and said, "Do you think Divine Inscription Grandmasters are cabbages, everywhere! There is only one Earth-grade High-Rank Divine Inscription Master, Old Ji, in the palace."

"Hmm... Lord Undying is a Divine Inscription Grandmaster. If you have a certain foundation in Divine Inscriptions, go find Old Ji; he is on the main peak. If you can help refine Divine Inscriptions, you can still get merit points."

Jiang Han asked second, "Senior Brother, what is the basic combat power of the Flying Immortal Ranking disciples?"

Jiang Han originally wanted to keep a low profile and cultivate quietly for a while. But after hearing about the three secret realms, he was a little tempted. It didn't matter if Xuan power was improved, as long as the physical body and soul were enhanced, that was very important.

If the physical body becomes stronger, defense, reaction speed, and strength will all become stronger. Enhancing the soul is even more important.

He had a Dragon Roar Divine Power. After continuously refining some soul-nourishing pills before, the power of the Dragon Roar Divine Power had obviously improved somewhat.

So this Flying Immortal Ranking, he must fight for it, he must get on it!

What did he come to the Chaotic Star Sea for?

He came to pick up Jiang Li. If he wanted to pick up Jiang Li, he needed to constantly improve his combat power.

So, Jiang Han had to strive for any path that could quickly improve his combat power.

Baili Ju glanced at Jiang Han, frowned slightly, and said, "Junior Brother Jiang, you should have only recently broken through to the Mountain Sea Realm, right? I suggest you don't rush."

"There are more than 4,000 disciples in the six peaks of the palace plus the main peak. There are about 2,000 disciples under the age of thirty. The Flying Immortal Ranking only has 100 people, so think about the strength of the disciples on this ranking."

Baili Ju didn't explicitly state the combat power of the people on the list, but the meaning was obvious: the first level of the Mountain Sea Realm was definitely not enough.

Jiang Han said stubbornly, "Senior Brother, just tell me, what realm is the last person on the Flying Immortal Ranking in."

"The last one seems to be called Liu Zhen? He is a disciple from Dragon Pattern Peak!"

Baili Ju pondered for a moment and said, "If I remember correctly, Liu Zhen should be at the third level of the Mountain Sea Realm and seems to possess a Wind-type Divine Power. His speed and movement are very elusive. With your combat power of just breaking through to the Mountain Sea Realm, I'm afraid you can't even touch the hem of his clothes."

"Only the third level of the Mountain Sea Realm?"

Jiang Han's eyes lit up, his eyes filled with fighting spirit, and he said, "Then I must fight for this Flying Immortal Ranking!"
