White Cloud Great Master said with a smile: “True complete martial arts actually start from those Transcendent Martial Arts you all speak about. These martial arts are called gold-grade martial arts in the sect. But there are also jade-grade, immortal-grade, and divine-grade ones.
“No way, the martial arts we worked hard to cultivate are mostly just incomplete martial arts?”
Dai Yuling exclaimed.
Ling Xiao, however, was not surprised. In fact, he had already realized this point long ago. When the Landscape Martial Soul analyzed these martial arts, he had already been told this, but it didn’t know what the complete versions of these martial arts were.
Therefore, he could only cultivate them first.
Although they were castrated, simplified versions of martial arts, they were not mere fragments and were actually more suitable for ordinary people to cultivate.
It was simply a difference in complexity and cultivation.
Ling Xiao might encounter many martial arts he had already cultivated but with completely different grades after entering the sect.
Gold-grade, jade-grade, immortal-grade and divine-grade: these were the real classifications of martial arts.
“By the way, immortal and divine-grade martial arts don’t exist anymore on Heavenly Dragon Continent. The human world suffered a catastrophe in the past, during which martial arts of those two grades disappeared along with martial souls. Martial souls can still be awakened, but these high-grade martial arts can only be found on other continents.”
White Cloud Great Master said with regret.
“Okay, Ling Xiao, that’s the end of this question. In fact, even this Master doesn’t have a particularly thorough understanding of these matters. Wait until you join Moonlight Sect, then you might get even more information and resources than this Master can provide. Perhaps, this Master might have to ask you such questions in the future.”
White Cloud Great Master added: “Next, we will leave for Moonlight Sect. But before going, I need to explain something that will be very important to you!”
Ling Xiao, Dai Yuling and Leng Me knew that White Cloud Master wanted to impart his experience.
After all, White Cloud Great Master had been in the Moonlight Sect. Although he was a failure, the more he failed, the greater his experience. It wouldn’t hurt to listen.
All three listened carefully because this might be very helpful in their future martial paths.
“If you are lucky enough to enter Moonlight Sect, the first thing you need to do is to keep a low profile and work hard to cultivate!”
“The status of outer disciples is very low. Although the sect has a rule that forbids disciples from killing each other, there is no problem to beat and cripple outer disciples. The higher-ups wouldn’t even investigate it.”
“What I mean is that you should try not to stand out among the outer disciples. Keep a low profile until you become an inner disciple!”
All three understood White Cloud Great Master’s words. Demonic Flame Celestial Worthy, after all, had a high position. If he saw that the disciples of White Cloud Great Master were good-for-nothings, he might be happy and leave them alone so that he could step on them when upset.
But if their aptitudes were very good, it might trigger his killing intent.
At that time, causing an ‘accidental death’ would be very simple.
“Once you become an inner disciple, your status within the sect will greatly improve. At that time, you must spare no efforts to display your strength. The greater your strength, the more the sect will protect you. At that time, even Demonic Flame Celestial Worthy will not dare to easily make a move on you.”
Ling Xiao nodded. According to his experience in the Ling Clan, this was indeed correct.
“There is another point you must pay attention to. Once your talent is exposed, be sure to not be arrogant. At that time, if an elder or a powerhouse of a similar level tries to rope you in, go and seek refuge with him if you feel he is good enough.”
White Cloud Great Master suddenly became serious and said: “This point is very important. I’ve seen many geniuses who didn’t give anyone a face. They didn’t put anyone in their eyes. As a result, they died en route during one mission or another not long after. Although they were killed by foreign enemies, it was very obvious that no one was willing to help them. Like that, there is not only no way of getting help, but you will also make many enemies.”
“One Demonic Flame Celestial Worthy is enough for you all. If you get one more elder-level enemy, then you are truly screwed. Thus, be sure to remember to stand in line. Wanting to remain neutral in the sect is the stupidest decision, especially since you all already have an enemy.”
“Do you all remember what I said?”
“Remember!”
In fact, what White Cloud Great Master said now was exactly what Ling Xiao had personally experienced.
His way of survival in the Ling Clan had been exactly like this.
He had kept a low-profile at first, before shocking the entire clan and using Uncle Ling Er as his backer.
After going to Moonlight Sect, although that place was bigger and the opponents were stronger, the things he needed to do hadn’t changed.
“Good, since you all remembered everything, we’ll leave immediately after you all sort out your things. Time doesn’t wait for anyone. We should go early and make preparations.”
White Cloud Great Master stood up and said.
“This disciple obeys Teacher!”
Ling Xiao and the others returned to their rooms, sorted out their things, then went to bid farewell to White Cloud Temple Master, Lin Ze, and the others.
Because time was tight, everyone didn’t say much.
Before leaving, Lin Ze and White Cloud Temple Master gave the spirit stones and True Essence Pills they had accumulated to these three.
There were low-grade, mid-grade, and high-grade spirit stones.
As for True Essence Pills, most of them were low-grade, but they were still effective for restoring true essence.
Later, all three returned to White Cloud Temple and followed White Cloud Great Master to Moonlight Sect.
They didn’t ride a carriage nor a horse but rather chose to go on foot.
With their movement techniques, their speed was much faster than a horse’s and even some demonic beasts.
In addition, they had True Essence Pills to restore their true essence. With a little rest, they could easily travel over one thousand miles.
Moonlight Sect was over ten thousand miles away from Hollow Cloud City, so it would take seven or eight days for them to arrive on foot.
This was also the reason White Cloud Great Master was hasty to set off.
Seven days passed without their encountering any trouble along the way.
After all, with the presence of a Transcendent Martial Artist, any demonic beasts they encountered were easily disposed of
On the morning of the eighth day, the sky was still dark.
A group of four arrived at a place with extremely beautiful scenery.
The sky had just turned bright on the horizon, and this fairyland-like place could be seen under the dim morning light.
“Heavens, is this the location of Moonlight Sect? Just the smell of the air makes us more energetic. Moreover, it feels like there is some magical effect.”
Dai Yuling couldn’t help but sigh: “There are also spiritual herbs that are normally hard to find all over that mountain and plain.”
“This is just the edge. Only after about 100 miles will you reach the entrance of Moonlight Sect. Once there, you will understand why martial artists dream about entering the hidden sects.”
White Cloud Great Master smiled and rushed forward.
Although the path was more dangerous and difficult, and there were even cliffs in many places, it was nothing for him and the other three.
Naturally, their movement techniques were outstanding.
