Chao Xiaojian was satisfied with the Sword Guild disciples’ excite, Ni Wen and Liu Bubai His gaze turned solemn
“You have just left your academy and had just completed the Imperial Examination, but I must warn you, a sect is different from an academy In your academy, you could study and cultivate without a care in the world, but in a sect, you’ll have no chance to relax In a sect, you’ll have to compete for your own cultivation resources!
“Disciples will co themselves for resources within the sect, while the sect has to compete with other sects for resources…
“After all, the world of cultivation is a coht!
“Perhaps even put your life on the line to for an opportunity!”
Chao Xiaojian warned
His dour words sounded as loud as thunder in their ears
Even Fang Lang had turned serious
“Of course, as new members of the Sword Guild, ill provide you with some material benefits The sect will provide you with a steady source of resources for three months Of course… that is if you can hold on to them”
A playful s Lang’s mind was elsewhere “Vice Leader Chao, as cultivators of the Sword Guild, does that ht in the de uttered those words, aze onto him
Chao Xiaojian’s white robe and hair fluttered in the wind He glanced at Fang Lang “You don’t have to worry about the demon world for now Disciples of the fourth-class or lower are not qualified to enter the demon world We won’t send you there on a suicide mission
“In fact, disciples of fourth-class or lower can’t even survive in the gap between the torlds, so don’t even talk about killing deh talk about the demon world Let’s talk about your next step in cultivation
“Xiao Lingjian, come and introduce the Sword Guild’s inner sect to these three younglings”
Chao Xiaojian beckoned
“Once you’re done with the introduction, bring theive theot i Lang with an auous look in his eyes Then, he y and vanished into thin air
Chao Xiaojian had other ure out how to deal with the foreign geniuses ere about to enter the sect
After Chao Xiaojian vanished, a handsoed from the crowd of disciples There was not much of a smile on his face
“I ajian”
Thesaid that, he led Fang Lang and the others across the plaza where the other disciples resunificence of their blades and their youthful energy permeated the plaza
They ascended the steep peak of thethe ancient bluestone stairs
Xiao Lingjian explained as he walked, “As one of the top ten sects in the empire, the inner sect is split up into four ranks—Heaven, Earth, Dark, Light…
“Light is the lowest rank while Heaven is the highest The quota for the Light rank is eight hundred disciples, three hundred for Dark, one hundred for Earth and thirty for Heaven Although everyone in the ranks is considered a inner sect disciple, there is a significant difference in the resources allocated
“Of course, there are also those who are not part of any ranks Usually, those are inner sect disciples who have been practicing cultivation in the Sword Guild for less than a year
“A which includes disciples recruited from the previous Imperial Examination and outer sect disciples who have passed the inner sect entrance exam They are all your rivals After all, there are limited slots in each rank
“After this, you’ll be assigned to uide you in cultivation They will teach you various practice methods and brief you about sojian expounded
The four of the at the top of the stairs to heaven The unique scenery was constantly changing before their eyes as they gazed at the cloudy sunrise
During the Gathering of Swords, Fang Lang had set foot upon the Sword Guild before However, he was at the plaza of Mount Shu most of the time Moreover, the place he stayed at was only part of the outer sect He had never seen the inner sect before
Xiao Lingjian was about to lead them into the inner sect
Just then, the Syste! A new environeit into the inner sect of the Sword Guild There’s no need to be humble in the sect!

Pointed tips of jagged rocks penetrated the clouds, like tips of blades rising fro’s green robe flapped noisily
Fang Lang gazed at the horizon and saw there were five peaks in total
The peaks were like five divine swords plunging into the skies The su and the others stood on was the first of the five
Xiao Lingjian smiled and explained, “The Heaven Pavilion stands on the furthest peak, followed by Earth, then Dark The Light Pavilion is located on the peak closest to us The su Peak Inner sect disciples who have not made it into any of the ranks will stay on this sues and qualify into the ranks
“Getting into the Light Pavilion is not an easy task You’re welcoht end up in a dreadful state”
Xiao Lingjian smiled mischievously
He stood at his spot and clapped his hands together
“Everyone, co felt his spiritual senses fluctuating wildly Suddenly, he could hear rustling sounds surrounding theed toward them with their blades in hand
Many were only there to spectate, while others were gearing up to give the newcoave the newcomers a clear picture of just how competitive the inner sect disciples were
“I heard the grand champion of the Imperial Examination has decided to join our sect Rumor has it that the sect will reward additional resources especially for hiet those rewards, he’ll have to defeat us first! If he loses, we’ll take half of his resource rewards! Wouldn’t that be aive him our whole month’s worth of cultivation resources…”
“Sounds pretty risky”
“What are you afraid of? It’s a rare occurrence to have a grand cha us Let’s show him a proper welcome!”
