Speaking about the forbidden areas of Moonlight Sect, the most conspicuous was the towering Moonlight Pagoda.
Looking from the Outer Sect General Hall, Moonlight Pagoda was clearly visible, but most of the pagoda pierced into the clouds. It was impossible to see the entire pagoda and know how many floors it had.
According to Elder White, Moonlight Pagoda was a treasure used by the Moonlight Sect to teach Moonlight Heavenly Maiden during the immemorial era. It was also the foundation of the Moonlight Sect. It could draw in moonlight and suppress the fate of Moonlight Sect.
Even White Elder didn’t know how many floors Moonlight Pagoda had.
No one could climb the top of this mysterious pagoda other than the ancient Moonlight Heavenly Maiden, including the current Sect Master of the Moonlight Sect.
Ling Xiao looked at the Moonlight Pagoda in Enter Soul State, feeling the pagoda’s vicissitude and mysterious ancient aura.
His Landscape Martial Soul actually sought to swallow the Moonlight Pagoda.
“Be obedient! Don’t you dare mess around. Otherwise, I’ll be screwed.”
Ling Xiao hastily suppressed this impulse.
In his opinion, since the Landscape Martial Soul actually wanted to swallow it, the Moonlight Pagoda was not a treasure but a kind of martial soul.
Moonlight Heavenly Maiden’s martial soul!
“Okay, the registration is over. I will take you all to the residence of the outer disciples!”
In fact, although outer disciples had no status in Moonlight Sect, they were still very important. Therefore, their residences were not as shabby as Ling Xiao had imagined.
Although this place was not big, the windows were wide, and it was clean with everything necessary present.
As a stone house for four people, it was pretty comfortable.
However, it was somewhat inconvenient to cultivate here.
However, there was no need to worry about cultivation. Cultivation in Moonlight Sect was different from the secular world. Generally, you would cultivate in the mountains where spiritual qi was most dense. There were disciples or elders who would open caves there.
If you could have your own cave, that would be best.
After making arrangements for Ling Xiao and the other new disciples to stay, Elder White left immediately. He still had his own affairs. Therefore, it naturally was impossible for him to stay with these new disciples.
In any case, there would be someone responsible for assigning duties and tasks to them. He, an Outer Elder, didn’t need to worry about it.
It was unknown whether Ling Xiao was lucky or unlucky.
In his stone house, there was an old disciple named Wu Xiang. Allegedly, because his aptitude had been terrible, no one wanted to live with him. As a result, he lived alone.
In this expanded recruitment, the number of stone houses was clearly limited, so it was unlikely for him to stay alone. Therefore, three new disciples were arranged to live with him.
The other two were Northern Han Country’s two princes, the second prince Zhao Ting and the third prince Zhao Zhi.
An old disciple and two princes, Ling Xiao clearly had the lowest status among even these drebs.
Ling Xiao couldn’t help shaking his head.
But soon, he forgot this small matter. He had come to Moonlight Sect to improve his strength, so he didn’t have time to pay attention to such things.
When White Cloud Great Master had left, he had promised to take care of Divine Sword Sect.
In return, Ling Xiao had to help White Cloud Great Master save his daughter.
The words of a man of character were invaluable, not to mention that this was a fair trade. He had no reason to slack off.
With White Cloud Great Master protecting his grandpa Hong Qi and his younger brother Ling Luo, he was at ease.
Although a Transcendent Realm expert was not much in the sect, a Transcendent Realm expert was still a terrifying powerhouse in the secular world.
Even if there were no such trade, he still had to improve his strength as soon as possible.
He had had no father or mother since childhood, and Grandpa Hong Qi had never told him anything about his parents. He had only told him that they were already dead.
However, he still wanted to know their identities and how they died.
All these required him to be stronger. Otherwise, it would be impossible to do anything.
Besides, this vast world had countless talents: powerhouses were like clouds and geniuses like trees in a forest. He was somewhat excited and hopeful.
He had heard from Hei Suo that his Teacher White Cloud Great Master had belonged to the bottom of the outer disciples of Moonlight Sect. Therefore, he thought that all the older outer disciples of Moonlight Sect were Transcendent Martial Artists.
However, Wu Xiang told him this was false.
Wu Xiang was a dull and cowardly person, but he was very kind to others.
He helped Zhao Ting and Zhi make their beds, before chatting with Ling Xiao.
As for the two princes, no one knew where they went.
There should be countless links between Northern Han Country’s imperial family and Moonlight Sect, which Ling Xiao had no interest in investigating. That was their resources, and he didn’t care about what they wanted to do.
“It turns out your Teacher is White Cloud Great Master.”
Wu Xiang sighed and said: “In fact, Moonlight Sect has a rule: inner disciples who can’t break through to the Celestial Ream before 100 years of age will be sent back to the outer sect and deal with the outer sect’s secular affairs. White Cloud Great Master is such a person, but he is definitely not at the bottom of the outer disciples. After all, once an outer disciple steps into the Transcendent Realm, he can automatically become an inner disciple.”
“So, that’s how it is.”
Ling Xiao roughly understood the meaning of Hei Suo’s words. Those had just been satire, and White Cloud Old Man couldn’t refute it. After all, being beaten back to the outer sect from the inner sect was even more embarrassing.
“Then, in the outer sect, are Half Great Masters the strongest?”
Ling Xiao asked.
Great Master was a title for Transcendent Realm experts, just like how Celestial Realm experts were Celestial Worthies.
Half Great Masters were naturally much stronger than general Peak Rank Nine Martial Vein martial artists but had yet to break through to the Transcendent Realm.
“Correct! Among the outer disciples, there are no less than 30 Half-Great Master leveled experts, and there are more than 100 Peak Rank Nine Martial Vein Martial Masters. This is due to the previous restrictions on recruiting disciples. There will be more in the future.”
Wu Xiang continued: “Now that you are here, you have to be careful. After all, the cultivations of the old outer disciples are not below Rank Nine Martial Vein. Even the worst has a cultivation base of Late Rank Nine Martial Vein like me.”
“Senior brother, there is no need to be discouraged. You are actually just in your thirties. You still have a long time, and there will always be a chance.”
Ling Xiao didn’t know how to comfort Wu Xiang.
Wu Xiang smiled and said nothing, but there was no change in his expression. It was obvious that his spirit had already been lost.
“Something happened!”
Suddenly, someone rushed in from outside and shouted at Ling Xiao: “Brother Ling, aren’t you together with that Leng Mei? She is being targeted by someone: Tian Chao who is ranked fiftieth in the outer sect.”
Ling Xiao recognized this person. He was also a new outer disciple. Ling Xiao had exchanged some words with him before and recognized that he was an outgoing person.
“Tian Chao!”
When Wu Xiang heard this name, he wanted to say a few things to Ling Xiao, but Ling Xiao had already rushed out.
“Damn it.”
Honestly speaking, Wu Xiang had a very good impression of Ling Xiao. After Zhao Zhi and Zhao Ting had learned that he was ranked last among the old outer disciples, they had dismissed him.
Ling Xiao was different.
