When he finished speaking, Ye Qingcheng and the others couldn't help but fell into silence for a while, especially Huan Chenyu and Bai Quan. They all looked at each other in unison, with an unexpected look in their eyes. Although they are all demon cultivators with extremely high levels of cultivation. They have been in the world of cultivation for many years and have a relatively good understanding of the major sects. However, they are not clear at all about the detailed situation. Huan Chenyu is the fundamental Disdainful, he had absolute strength and supreme magical power at that time, so he didn't need to care about this information at all and just fought. Although Bai Quan is not as powerful as him, he is not far behind. As a demon cultivator, how can he care about these sects of the human race? He was relatively familiar with several forces of the Monster Clan, but he still didn't know the details of each.
Unexpectedly, Shushan alone was divided into an inner gate and an outer gate. Even the outer gate was divided into an upper fourth courtyard and a lower fourth courtyard. It was far different from what they had imagined. In their impression, Shu Mountain is nothing more than the main peak Tianzhu Peak and a few other branches. The disciples are more powerful, but the number is relatively small. When they heard it today, they realized that their previous impression was simply wrong.
Not to mention, if there are only so many people in Shushan as they imagined, what qualifications and strength do they have to firmly occupy the top position of the largest force in the human world? Moreover, the life and death of a cultivator is determined by heaven, and there is no telling when they will perish while practicing outside. Therefore, no matter how many people you have, they will always gradually decrease. So where will the people who fill the vacancies come from? Sit and wait for these disciples to come to your door? Or send people everywhere to recruit disciples, of course it is impossible. As such a large force, it is natural to have an organization to select disciples. Now it seems that the outer sect of Shushan should be an organization to select disciples for the inner sect.
And Huanchenyu didn't know it, but Baiquan knew it. After a trip to Shushan, although he hadn't heard anyone mention it, he discovered that the power of Shushan was more than what it seemed on the surface. Although in the eyes of outsiders, Shushan is nothing more than a sect headed by its headmaster Ling Yunzi, a bunch of Heavenly Emperor-level elders and heads of various sects, leading countless disciples, that day he and Ye Qingcheng went to Tianzhu Peak, the main peak of Shushan. In the Yuqing Hall of the main hall, although he pretended to be calm on the surface, the shock in his heart was difficult to conceal. Especially when Ye Qingcheng was talking to Ling Yunzi, he couldn't help but discover something.
That is, in the sky above their heads, there are floating islands dotted with stars. The largest one can be said to be inferior to the Sword Control City, and the smallest one is only about the size of a house. Floating islands are not a rare thing. He has seen floating islands when he was wandering in the world of cultivation. However, this is the first time he has seen floating islands scattered like these above Tianzhu Peak. The distribution pattern made him feel very mysterious. There must be some extremely powerful formation hidden in it, otherwise there would never be such a layout.
Forget it, although he kept a low profile and restrained his aura at that time, he was able to sense countless powerful auras on those floating islands. I was afraid that none of them were inferior to Ling Yunzi in front of him at that time. This made him He was even more confused. Ling Yunzi is the majestic headmaster of Shushan, a middle-level being at the Heavenly Emperor level. His magical powers and reputation are second to none among cultivators in the human world. This has led many people to believe that he should be the strongest person in Shushan. Illusion, the fact is naturally not the case.
Before he met Ling Yunzi, he had met Huang Long, who claimed to be the elder of Jiange. Huang Long's strength was not weaker than Ling Yunzi. If he had not miscalculated, there should be a force above the headmaster in Shu Mountain. This force is the real strength of Shushan, and the leader is just the person in power on the surface. It's not just Shushan, I'm afraid it's the same for several other major sects. Take the Great Guangming Palace as an example. He has heard more than once that the main altar of the Great Guangming Palace in Kunlun in the Western Regions is commanded by an immortal envoy-level being, and Shushan can be transcendent. Sitting firmly in the top spot, it is also certain that there are immortal envoy-level beings, and they are only stronger than the Great Guangming Palace.
Although Huan Chenyu has never been to Tianzhu Peak, he also knows that there are immortal envoy-level beings in their Dragon Domain, as well as special life forms like the Dragon God, and even the Dragon Domain in Shushan has to respect him three times. Of course, there should be a powerful immortal envoy-level being in charge. It's just that they don't have the time to communicate now. If there is time for Huan Chenyu and Bai Quan to communicate, they will be able to deduce a lot of useful information.
"I see, it's really a bit complicated. Then I'll ask Brother Qian again. What are the differences between the four houses of the upper house and the lower house? Are they different cultivation paths and moves like the inner sect, or are they different? What are the other differences?”
However, Qian Wanliang waved his hand and gave an answer that surprised Ye Qingcheng: "No difference."
"Ah? No difference means..."
"It literally means there is no difference. Let me put it this way. Let me explain to you in detail. The only real difference between the outer gates is the upper and lower courtyards. Cultivators and mortals are in the same heaven and on the earth. Naturally, there must be a distinction. The disciples of the Upper Court are all monks, and there are also a small number of immortal-level beings. They have a higher status in the Upper Court. Although they say so, they are actually useless in the eyes of many people. They have been elected to the inner sect. Even if they are high immortals, they cannot be promoted, or the high immortals with extremely poor qualifications are worse than some monks. The disciples in the lower courtyard are all mortals, but naturally they are all extremely skilled. For mortals who are powerful or have special skills, although the Lower Court does not teach various exercises, secrets, or fighting skills like the Upper Court, they will also teach the most advanced martial arts in the mortal world, strengthening the disciples of the Lower Court in all aspects, in order to enable them to serve. Used by Shushan. It is well known that cultivators and forces in the world of cultivation cannot interfere in mortal affairs, but this rule is naturally traceable, just like the disciples of the Lower Fourth Academy of Shushan. Although they are called disciples, in fact they are not However, the trained thugs who can represent Shushan in the mortal world are really far behind the disciples of the Upper Fourth Academy. Because the lifespan of mortals is not long, the disciples of the Lower Fourth Academy are newer. The replacement of generations is quite slow, and the deans and academicians of each branch are not all served by powerful cultivators like the upper four houses. Except for the dean, they are all mortals. Therefore, although on the surface the upper house and the lower house are corresponding Yes, but in fact it is fundamentally unequal.”
