I replied with a smile too.
"There must be pressure. After all, our enemy is such an ancient and long-established behemoth. Not only is it powerful, it can bend and stretch, and it is especially good at hiding. Even Fuxi, Emperor Yan and Huang, Dayu, the First Emperor, and the Ancestral Master Zhang Daoling. Heroes throughout the ages have not been able to eradicate it completely. But..."
I changed the subject.
"There is motivation only when there is pressure! Since I want to be by Master's side, fight side by side with Master, and face ups and downs together, these are all things that I have to endure."
Master smiled happily when she heard this. She reached out and patted my head gently.
"Very good. As expected of Master, he is a good disciple."
"By the way, Master, what is the organizational structure of the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect? Judging from the information I have come across so far, it seems to be different from other sects."
"That's right."
She nodded.
"Although the Wanxian Sect has the word [Zong] in its name, it is actually not a sect like the common Buddhist and Taoist sects. In fact, it is more like a relatively loose alliance. Some of the members who join it also have Other identities in the secular world or the spiritual world."
On this point, I understand what Master said.
For example, Zhang Xiaofei is not only the [Master of the Four Symbols Temple] of the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect, but she is also a member of the Zhang family of the Lingnan [Heixia Sword] - most likely she is the heir to the clan leader or something like that.
She went on.
"Although [Wanxian Sect] is relatively loose compared to other Buddhist and Taoist sects such as Maoshan, Longhushan, and Putuoshan, it also has a strict superior-subordinate relationship. Members at the upper level control more training resources and secret information, and also has the power to issue orders to lower-level members. Of course, this is not absolute."
I understand this too.
Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes. There is also a secret power game within the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect, and it may be more intense than the famous sect. This is inevitable.
What I am very curious about is the specific organizational structure of the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect, which Master quickly explained.
"Wanxian Sect as a whole is divided into five temples, three halls and one palace."
"The so-called five temples are Taiji Temple, Liangyi Temple, Four Symbol Temple, Five Elements Temple and Bagua Temple. Each Taoist temple has one temple master and one punishment envoy, who are the chief and deputy leaders. Among them, Taiji Temple is the strongest and Bagua Temple is the most powerful. weak."
I see!
Zhu Qihan, as the master of Bagua Guan, turned out to be the one with the weakest cultivation among the senior staff of the [Ten Thousand Immortals Sect].
Situ Yan is stronger than him, and Zhang Xiaofei is stronger than Situ Yan!
But this also shows how terrifying and powerful this [Ten Thousand Immortals Sect] is—the weakest among the high-level leaders also has the cultivation level of the middle stage of [Qi Shi].
It's simply too amazing.
Situ Jian is actually in the middle stage of Qi-eating, but it is estimated that it took longer to break through to this state than Zhu Qihan, so his magic power is also deeper and his magical powers are more sophisticated.
As for Zhang Xiaofei, she has truly reached the late stage of [Qi-Purixia].
The Liangyi Temple Master and the Taiji Temple Master must be stronger than her...
I was sighing, but Master added something.
"Of course, the strongest Taiji Temple Master and Liangyi Temple Master participated in the sneak attack and siege on me back then, and were killed by me on the spot during the battle. I don't know if the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect has been around for more than 20 years. Re-elect new masters of Taiji Temple and Liangyi Temple."
I:"……"
"Master is so mighty! Master's magical power is so powerful that it shocks the past and the present."
"You little guy, you're being glib again, aren't you?"
She raised her hand as if to strike, and I took the initiative and moved my head towards her.
As a result, she retracted her hand and stopped hitting me. I was quite disappointed.
The master continued.
"The so-called three palaces are the Heavenly Palace, the Earthly Palace, and the Human Palace. Each palace is led by a palace master, a deputy palace master, and an inspector. Three people lead it. Among them, the Heavenly Palace is the strongest, and the Human Palace is the weakest. But Even the weakest Human Palace is more powerful than the strongest Tai Chi Guan among the [Five Views]. Oh, the Lord of the Human Palace was also beaten to pieces by me on the spot during the sneak attack and siege against me, and he died completely."
I:"……"
I'm already numb!
Although in my heart, Master himself is extremely powerful.
But I didn't expect it to be so powerful.
"As for the [First Palace] with the highest status... it corresponds to the name of the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect, and is called the Ten Thousand Immortals Palace. It is led by the palace master, three elders, and seven supervisors. The Lord of the Ten Thousand Immortals Palace is The supreme ruler of the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect! But as far as I know, the position of the Palace Master of the Ten Thousand Immortals Palace has been vacant for more than five hundred years."
oh?
I wondered.
"Why is the position of the Lord of Ten Thousand Immortals Palace vacant?"
Master explains.
"Because more than five hundred years ago, during the Jiajing period of Emperor Shizong of the Ming Dynasty, because the emperor worshiped Taoism, the power of orthodox Taoism reached an extremely high level. With the blessing of the dynasty's luck, the emperor at that time canonized him as [Shenxiao Zhenren] With this, Tao Hongwen completely surpassed the second realm of [Fine Xia] and [Danxia Baoguang], reaching a whole new level! He is also the only one who is not a Taoist giant in the two thousand years since Zhang Daoling founded orthodox Taoism. And become the most powerful Taoist priest in the world."
"Later, in the name of being a confidant of the emperor, a court official, and a Taoist sect, Tao Hongwen took the unprecedented step of inviting the leaders of the three giants of the Taoist sect, Longhu Mountain, Maoshan, and Zhongnan Mountain, to join him. After a lot of effort, I finally found the traces of that generation of Ten Thousand Immortal Palace Masters."
"After a shocking battle, the Master of Wanxian Palace died on the spot. The four of them were also seriously injured. In addition to Tao Hongwen, who lived in an ill condition for seven or eight years, the three sects of Longhu, Maoshan, and Zhongnan After returning, they all became immortals and passed away within a year. The successors they selected became the new masters, which can be regarded as the beginning of a new era..."
Listening to Master's narration, I was almost intoxicated!
These are the legends and stories of those people who truly stand at the pinnacle of the supernatural world.
This shows how appalling the cultivation of the Lord of Ten Thousand Immortals Palace is.
The heads of the three giants of the Daodao Sect, plus a "Zhenxiao Zhenren" who was conferred by the imperial court, actually managed to eliminate the master of Wanxian Palace with all the serious injuries.
"However, five hundred years have passed...hasn't the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect elected a new Ten Thousand Immortals Palace Master?"
I asked curiously.
The master also shook his head with a hint of confusion.
"I don't know this even as a teacher. After all, I am not omniscient and omnipotent. I only know that the current Ten Thousand Immortals Sect is probably actually composed of the chief elder of the Ten Thousand Immortals Palace, the Lord of the Heavenly Palace, and the Lord of the Earthly Palace. Three people are jointly in charge.”
"The three of them have similar cultivation strengths and forces under their command. They check and balance each other, and no one can overwhelm the other. There is no unified Ten Thousand Immortals Sect, and there are constant internal disputes. This is also a good thing for the world."
That's right...
I thought for a while, then smiled and gave him a "big flattery".
"Of course this is also due to Master. If you hadn't killed several top leaders of the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect twenty years ago, they wouldn't be so calm now."
She glared at me.
"I thought you were a little more stable now that you were older, Ah Chong. But you are still so glib? You deserve a beating!"
