Chapter 2237 - 2240: The Rules Here

"This Xuanyuan Immortal Sect sure has a lot of rules."

Looking at the words on the stone tablet, Xu San mumbled a couple of sentences.

Just then, they saw more than a dozen white figures rushing from afar, floating gracefully, flying on clouds towards the peak of Xuanyuan Mountain, displaying a carefree elegance.

The flying individuals elicited continuous exclamations of awe from those walking around.

Without a doubt, these disciples in white flying in the sky were undoubtedly disciples of the Xuanyuan Immortal Sect.

"This Xuanyuan Immortal Sect is only a minor sect among the Seven Great Immortal Sects in the Immortal Domain; I didn't expect it to have so many rules."

Seeing the surrounding people worship in awe, Xu San couldn't help but shake his head.

"The Seven Great Immortal Sects?"

Qin Tian was stunned and asked, "Xu San, where did you hear that from?"

"My sister told me."

Xu San said, "In this Immortal Domain, there are Three Great Immortal Sects and Seven Great Immortal Sects. Each faction is immensely powerful, easily dominating for millennia if they go to the lower plane."

"Again with 'your sister told you'..."

Hearing Xu San's words, Qin Tian was speechless, but still curiously asked Xu San, "So, are there only these ten sects in the Immortal Domain?"

He couldn't comprehend how such a vast and boundless Immortal Domain could be limited to just ten sects.

"Of course not."

Xu San said, "Besides the Three Great Immortal Sects and the Seven Great Immortal Sects, there are countless small cultivation factions. However, these factions are like ants compared to Sect, completely insignificant."

"Qin Tian, for instance, when we go to the Xuanyuan Immortal Sect, we first have to be selected as Inner Sect Disciples based on talent and the elders' judgment. If we aren't selected as Inner Sect Disciples, we can sign up to participate in martial arts selection to become Outer Disciples."

"Well, if we aren't even selected as Outer Disciples, we won't be able to enter the Xuanyuan Immortal Sect. It's not easy coming from a lower plane; we can't just slink back, right? Nor can we be homeless in the Immortal Domain, right? So, we can only choose to join other smaller factions."

Qin Tian frowned and said, "Then we can go to other major sects to participate in selection, right?"

Xu San shook his head, "My sister said that within the Immortal Domain, there's open and clandestine competition among various major sects. When we go for selection, the Xuanyuan Immortal Sect will place their unique True Qi mark on us. If we're not selected, and we go to another sect, do you think any other sect would want us when even Xuanyuan Immortal Sect's Outer Disciples didn't select us?"

"That's not necessarily the case; there are always exceptions, but they are very few. So, when going for the first sect selection, you must be cautious and go only when you're sure."

"As for me, at the initial stage of the Ascension Stage, signing up for the Xuanyuan Immortal Sect, ranked last among the Seven Great Immortal Sects, I can probably make it as an Outer Disciple, which is about right."

Xu San said, looking at Qin Tian, "Qin Tian, I see your cultivation aura isn't higher than mine... You might only be able to join me as an Outer Disciple, haha. In the future, we brothers will share blessings and endure hardships together."

Qin Tian smiled faintly, thinking to himself, damn, you're only at the initial stage of the Ascension Stage and can only manage as an Outer Disciple. I'm at the Peak of the Flying Immortal Realm, haven't even reached the Ascension Stage in cultivation, and can I make it as an Outer Disciple?

He's now slowly sensing the malice of the Immortal Domain.

It turns out the Ascension Stage is the lowest level of cultivation, merely the first realm stage for those coming from lower planes.

As for the Flying Immortal Realm... in the Immortal Domain, it seems to be utterly worthless.

Qin Tian and Xu San mingled among the people climbing the mountain, ascending the stairs step by step.

At least ten thousand meters high, Xuanyuan Mountain. The two of them climbed one step at a time, talking as they went, finally reaching a square halfway up the mountain two days later.

At the entrance of the square, a giant stone tablet bore the words "Outer Gate".

"This midway up the mountain is where Outer Disciples live and cultivate. External visitors should also reside here."

Xu Kuan explained to Qin Tian, "The mountaintop is where Inner Sect Disciples and elders reside, and the Spiritual Energy there is far more abundant than halfway up."

People everywhere are divided into hierarchies; it's the same everywhere.

Qin Tian shook his head, seems like I'm going to start from the bottom again?

"Are you here to sign up for the Mid-Autumn Xuanyuan Immortal Sect Disciple Selection? Over there!"

After a group of people entered the square, they were immediately driven to one side of the square by two white-robed middle-aged men with "Outer Gate" embroidered on their chests.

There were several buildings over there, seemingly for external visitors and those coming to register and participate in the selection to reside.

As Xu Kuan and Qin Tian were preparing to follow the crowd, they simultaneously saw that behind them, Suo Xin and two others also entered the square.

Then, under everyone's gaze, the handsome man led Suo Xin and the two others, showed a token, and the two Xuanyuan Immortal Sect Outer Disciples actually allowed them to go directly into the Outer Disciple living area!

"Why can they go in? Why can't we!"

"Yeah, this is discrimination!"

After seeing this, others were unhappy and yelled at the two Outer Disciples.

After all, these people were all prodigies of the lower plane, high and mighty, invincible in the lower plane, and upon arriving in the Immortal Domain, their status drastically changed. They all couldn't adapt.

"Yes, this is discrimination."

An Outer Disciple said disdainfully, "The Immortal Domain World is different from the lower plane you came from. Hmph, every mountain and every sect here has its rules! If you're dissatisfied, you're free to leave!"

What the Outer Disciple said was so imposing that those who were expressing dissatisfaction just a moment ago instantly didn't dare to speak.

"Arrogance, this is the skill of the Three Great Sects and Seven Great Immortal Sects' disciples."

Xu San sighed, saying, "Being their disciple is an honor, and when encountering people from other non-mainstream sects outside, one can be high and mighty, with utter disregard."

"Impressive."

Qin Tian faintly echoed.

With a few days left before the Mid-Autumn Festival, Qin Tian and Xu San could only stay at the inn here for now.

"Ten thousand High Grade Spirit Stones per person, per day. Three meals a day, room and board included."

The innkeeper announced to the many who came ready to check-in.

"Ten thousand High Grade Spirit Stones a day? Wow, you're robbing people!"

"This is blatant extortion, I'm not staying!"

Those originally prepared to stay at the inn were astounded beyond words when they heard the innkeeper's offer.

Ten thousand High Grade Spirit Stones, something that could buy a small city on the lower plane.

Here, damn it, only enough for one person per day?

"Hmph, staying at the Xuanyuan Inn is beneficial for your recovery and cultivation. I'm just reminding you. If you can't bear to spend that money, then please, leave. Our extortion is open and aboveboard!"

The chubby innkeeper said righteously, feeling proud of himself.
