Chapter 105 Newcomer to the Sec (1/2)

Much like how a newly recruited staff to a co treated his first few days' experiences at the Co the Divine Sword Sect's orientation And at the core of his training was that little book he received — 'The Rules of the Divine Sword Sect'

Every commandment, rule and the behavior every disciple in the sect had to confor fro to a s like dress code and meals were all stated in that book The firstthe sect was to drill the contents of that book into their heads If one were to coroup, that book was pretty ulations for the Divine Sword Sect

The few days he spent in the Commandment Courtyard wasat five o'clock, Yan Liqiang had to get up together with the other four people he stayed with After washi+ng up, they had to start cleaning and tidying around the Coht or nine o' clock

Breakfast was brought to them by the servant disciples of the Commandment Courtyard They had the same food for breakfast, lunch and dinner— steamed buns

Two steamed buns for breakfast, two steaetables for dinner So the standard dailywith so, they would receive their htly warone cold and hard Even so, they had no choice but to continue eating the stone-cold steamed buns for both lunch and dinner

After breakfast, there would be a lawyer from the Commandment Courtyard to explain to the five of them the various taboos in the Divine Sword Sect or the etiquette for different situations for half an hour They would then stay in their room to self-study and memorize those contents

The lawyers in the Commandment Courtyard naturally weren't like those lawyers who helped others file lawsuits in his previous life Although the two share the same title, they weren't the same To put it simply, the lawyers in Commandment Courtyards were like the police or military officers in the Divine Sword Sect They were professionals in charge of upholding discipline as well as disciplining in the sect The people who served as lawyers in the Co disciples within the sect and were at least at the rank of elite disciples

After lunch, another laould bring them around for a ithin the Divine Sword Sect'sthem to familiarize themselves with the peaks as well as the locations of courtyards and halls in the sect After that, they would return to the Commandment Courtyard and continue with their self-study on 'The Rules of the Divine Sword Sect'

By nighttime, after dinner, they were allowed to exercise for a bit in the backyard of the Commandment Courtyard, practice their fist techniques, do physical training, laundry or such About nine o'clock at night, the lights would be out on time for bedtime

They'd then repeat the same cycle the next day

The Divine Sword Sect's monastery spanned a vast area of not less than a few thousand square kilometers Everywhere in the sect was densely filled with mountain peaks of various sizes which penetrated the blue dome of heaven At the foot of those mountains were deep ravines and valleys of different sizes and shapes Since there happened to be 36 mountain peaks, the Divine Sword Sect na the Stars of Destiny Since there were also nuathered 72 of them and then si the Stars of Destiny

Tiankui Peak, Tiangang Peak, Tianji Peak, Tianxian Peak, Tianyong Peak, Tianxiong Peak, Tian Peak, Tianwei Peak

Dikui Valley, Disha Valley, Diyong Valley, Diejie Valley, Dixiong Valley, Diwei Valley, Diying Valley

There were a total of 108 locations and names It was a no easy feat for a newconize thereat courtyards and the various halls within the these peaks and valleys, if no one showed the disciples their way around to get theot lost within the Divine Sword Sect It wouldn't be hile if they got decapitated for wandering into the forbidden areas by mistake because they were lost

After repeatedly eating cold stea whenever he saw steamed buns and it was actually the saritted their teeth and persevered No one dared co because everyone had to h the process was quite difficult regardless of how others looked at it, at least to Yan Liqiang, he felt like the training and studies he had done over this half a month at the Commandment Courtyard was vital That was because this kind of training and study could allow him to sufficiently understand the Divine Sword Sect in the shortest aaer in the dark or had to follow the crowd

Yan Liqiang had been very serious about his studies So as ti of the Divine Sword Sect deepened too

The entire Divine Sword Sect followed a strict hierarchy For each rank, the things they could do, the privileges they could enjoy and the obligations they had were uous

The eight ranks within the Divine Sword Sect in ascending order were external disciple, inner disciple, elite disciple, direct disciple, core disciple, elder, grand elder and sectthe five disciple classes, each was divided into upper, middle and lower class Rurand elders and the sect rand elders cultivated in seclusion all year round, they didn't get involved with the affairs of the sect Thus, the Sect Master wielded absolute authority over the entire Divine Sword Sect

With that, everyone in the Divine Sword Sect was categorized into a rigidly-stratified hierarchy of 18 levels Disciples like Yan Liqiang who had just joined Divine Sword Sect's orized in the lower class of the external disciples, at the bottom of the pyramid
