Merriton was an inner court elder, so she couldn't stay for too long on the Jade-Bamboo Peak. Thus, she only stayed for a few hours before leaving.

The Heaven Sect was divided into the inner and outer sects. The inner sect was the main sect while the outer sect was the main sect.

For example, this Jade-Bamboo Peak was the peak of power within the outer court. And there were more than a thousand such peaks within the outer sect of the Celestial Sect of Wonders.

Each mountain peak had its own set of peaks. The Peak Master could recruit new disciples and form an organization that was similar to a sect. However, these organizations were all affiliated with the Heaven Sect.

The Peak Masters on each peak were all deacons of the Heaven Sect. In other words, they were just some of the leaders of the various peaks in the Heaven Sect. These Peak Masters would strengthen their respective peaks, and once there was an issue with the Heaven Sect, these Peak Masters would lead their own forces and charge into the fray.

If he wanted to become the Peak Master of the outer court, then he must have a corresponding strength. Generally speaking, only a late Grand Master would have the qualifications to become the Peak Master. However, most of the time, these mountain lords were all made up of Loose Immortals. They hadn't survived the nine Celestial Tribulations; at the critical moment, they had been reduced to Loose Immortals, continuing to stay at their original mountain peak. When the old Peak Master abdicated, he would elect them as the new Peak Masters.

However, once these Peak Masters had survived the first life and death tribulation of the Rogue Immortals, they would immediately become inner sect elders. Although they were only the lowest level inner sect elders, their status was like heaven and earth.

This was because only Loose Immortals who had undergone a major life-and-death tribulation would be considered as true Loose Immortals. For example, one was a Loose Immortal who had undergone a life-and-death tribulation, while the other was an elementary stage Loose Immortal who had not yet experienced a life-and-death tribulation. The difference in power between the two was like heaven and earth.

The inner sect of the Heaven Sect was in fact, the gathering of these true Loose Immortals.

As for the composition of the inner court forces, Merriton did not mention it to Chen Feng because the current Chen Feng had not reached the stage where he needed to understand all these. Right now, Chen Feng only needed to stand firmly in the outer court of the Jade-Bamboo Peak.

Even so, Chen Feng was still quite shocked.

At this moment, Chen Feng finally understood how amazing he had been in his previous life. Even though his own Pill Palace was one of the four great five ancestor palaces of the three sects, compared to such a massive power like the Heaven Sect, it was like a small sapling or a large tree.

As Chen Feng became more and more familiar with the hidden forces in the cultivation world, he finally understood the weakness of the Pill Palace. Perhaps, if it was really ranked according to strength, the Pill Palace might be the last of the many forces.

However, this did not cause Chen Feng to become discouraged. Instead, it aroused his fighting spirit. He swore to himself that one day, he would turn the Pill Palace into a behemoth that was no weaker than any hidden force in the cultivation world. He would make the Pill Palace stand at the top of this world.

When Merlot left, Chen Feng and Chang Ling sent her off with their gazes.

Chen Feng did not say anything for a long time as he watched Mei Ruotong's figure getting further and further away. In his heart, he was still thinking about the words Mei Ruotong had said to him before she left.

Chen Feng, this disciple recruitment ceremony might be a peerless opportunity, you must grasp it by all means.

”What, you've fallen for my Sister Mei?” Chang Ling looked at Chen Feng with a faint smile. There was an indescribable feeling in her tone.

Chen Feng suddenly came to his senses as he thought about it. He then glanced at Chang Ling's beautiful figure and revealed a teasing gaze. ”With a beauty by his side, how could I give up on distance?”
