"I am the Deacon from the Discipline Department. You can call me as Elder Yun." He announced to the crowd of youths, sweeping his gaze around them, before his eyes finally landed on Long Chen.
"I heard that there was an exceptional youth joining our clan this year. Good!" Yun Elder looked towards Long Chen with goodwill, and a bit of shock.
He could naturally sense the Qi Refining Realm aura from Long Chen, and judging from his bone age, he was definitely less than 14 years old.
This could not be considered as just merely a genius.
This was a monster!
And most importantly, he was able to achieve such deep cultivation without the aid from a Sect!
He took a long deep glance at Long Chen, then waved his sleeves, and brought them along towards the Sect.
The entire sect was adorned with exquisite designs and decorations, with majestic looking stone statues that gave off a sense of oppression.
Long Chen could clearly feel that the density of Qi within the sect was many times more than outside, which rejuvenated his entire body and gave him a sense of calmness and peace.
His current cultivation speed was more than double within the Sect!
Worthy of being a sect. Just from the Spiritual Qi itself, it could definitely nurture many peak-level experts.
Along the way, they saw many disciple of the Moonlight Sect, all clothed with different coloured robes that represented their status.
Green was for outer disciples, Purple for inner disciples, Blue for the elite disciples, and lastly, White for the Chosens, who were all the top of the top geniuses, each and every one of them at least at the 5th Elementary Realm, which could already be comparable to the low-ranked elders.
The most important thing was that all of them were below the age of 40!
Long Chen clucked his tongue when he heard this.
Sects were really a different breed from the rest.
It was impressive.
Yun Elder then brought them towards a wall, where a list of names was hung up. It was shining with radiance and splendor, and radiated of charm and elegance.
The crowd looked towards Yun Elder with questioning glances.
Yun Elder pointed towards the list and patiently explained,
"This list is called the Heaven Prides Ranking, and is split from the Inner and Outer Court, along with a special list specifically for the Chosens. However, you do not need to know that yet. "
"The list of names here represents the ranking of the strongest disciples within the Outer Court. If you want your name to be placed here, you can challenge someone within the rankings. If you win, then you will able to take over their ranking on the list." The Yun Elder pointed towards the list on the left.
The youths turned toward the list, and saw a number of names.
1. Chen Yu Liang, Age 17, 5th Qi Refining Realm
2. Bing Mu, Age 19, 4th Qi Refining Realm
3. Yang Yun Age 18, 4th Qi Refining Realm
Long Chen looked towards this list in surprise.
Did being in a Sect help their cultivation that much?
He didn't believe that they had entered the Sect with such high cultivation.
There were some youths around him that definitely had higher talent than the youths on the list, yet their cultivation was much lower.
Resources. Talent was not everything. Long Chen sighed inwardly
"Of course, there are definitely benefits for being on the list. Rank 1 gets 30 Low Tier Crystals daily, Rank 2 gets 15 Low Tier Crystals, whilst Rank 3 gets 10 Low Tier Crystals. "
"The rest on the list also will have additional Crystals as rewards, but of a much lower scale."
The Yun Elders words made the crowd's eyes collectively brighten.
Crystals! There were a form of cultivation resource meant to speed of the rate of cultivation. They contained a dense amount of pure spiritual Qi within which allows Cultivators to easily absorb it and aid in their cultivation.
Even the Lowest Tier crystals could speed up cultivation by more than 2 times.
However, Crystals were a limited and rare resource, which was why so many youths would want to join Sects. So that they were able to receive sufficient cultivation resources for their cultivation.
If not, without this irresistible allure, why would people still want to come then? They might as well stay at home and cultivate by themselves.
Long Chen looked towards the ranking with fervor. He believed that not long later, he would be able to charge into the rankings, and let his name be gloriously displayed.
And with the additional Crystal as rewards, he would quickly break through and manage to promote to the Inner Court.
Next, the Yun Elder brought them towards a collection of huts.
They were lined in order, with the huts slowly becoming more grand and bigger as Long Chen shifted his sights towards the right.
It seemed like the huts were not equally built, and the best huts were at the right.
Each and every one of the huts had a number on it, and Long Chen figured that this was probably the rankings of the Outer Disciples.
The Yun Elder turned towards the youths and said, "The huts are ranked from 1 to 200, with 1 being the best, while the 200th is naturally the worst. Where you are going to sleep is determines on how strong you are. If you are able to defeat the people living in the huts, then you can take their place."
The Sect catered to the Law of the Strong. No matter what, they wanted to maintain a competitive environment so as to root out the weak, and find the strong, who they will then place their attention on and carefully nurture.
