Chapter 232: Chapter 209: I, Lu Yan of the Taiyi Sect_2
"The information from the Outer Sect disciple registration claims that Lu Yan has once again arrived at Cyan Simurgh Sect.
And coincidentally, this Young Master Lu also appeared within the sect. Both are surnamed Lu, and this Young Master Lu came looking for Ji Xingyao. How could such a coincidence happen?"
The name Lu Yan was tracked down by them following the news of Ji Xingyao issuing the Scripture Transmission Order, and the Lu Yan in the sect registration was just a small Cultivator at the mid-stage of Qi Cultivation.
After various investigations, everyone also confirmed some information about Lu Yan from that incident at the Cyan Valley Marketplace.
Su Yan cautiously glanced at Lu Yan, who was savoring Spirit Tea, his demeanor graceful and extraordinary. His Early Stage of Foundation Establishment cultivation could threaten her, who was at the late stage, and various signs showed that Lu Yan did not seem to come from a humble Loose Cultivator background at all.
Most importantly, after using the Scripture Transmission Order, it only took a few months for Su Yan to encounter Lu Yan.
Such generosity and remarkable demeanor are not something that can be cultivated in just a few months.
The absurd thought that had just arisen was quickly suppressed by Su Yan, who raised a smile on her charming face:
"So Young Master Lu is looking for Senior Sister Ji, but Senior Sister Ji has been in secluded cultivation for a long time. You may not be able to see her if you go."
Lu Yan’s expression remained calm: "I have my ways, you just lead the way."
Su Yan softly responded, controlling the Flying Ship towards a Spirit Peak deep within the mountains, and at the same time introducing to Lu Yan:
"Our Cyan Simurgh Sect disciples are divided into Outer Sect Disciples, Inner Sect Disciples, Direct Disciples, and True Disciples.
Outer Sect Disciples reside in the various outer courtyards outside the mountain gate, while Inner Sect Disciples and Direct Disciples can open Cave Mansions on the Seventy-Two Earth Spirit Peaks. Once one advances to Golden Core and gets an elder’s position, they are qualified to reside on the Thirty-Six Celestial Spirit Peaks.
But regardless of whether it is the Earth Spirit Peaks or the Celestial Spirit Peaks, they are just one of the peaks surrounding the outer section of the Cyan Simurgh Sect’s mountain gate.
Only Nascent Soul True Monarchs and True Disciples can enter the Blessed Land within the inner mountains to open Cave Mansions."
Lu Yan showed a bit of astonishment upon hearing these words.
"Are the True Disciples of the Cyan Simurgh Sect held in such high regard?"
He knew that True Disciples of the Cyan Simurgh Sect had very high status, but he did not expect that True Disciples could open a Cave Mansion in the Blessed Land, which even Golden Core Masters could not obtain.
"The True Disciples are limited to under a hundred years of age. Each True Disciple is bound to reach the Golden Core Realm and even has the potential to achieve the position of Nascent Soul True Monarch. Their status is naturally extraordinary.
Once a True Disciple advances to the Golden Core Realm, their status is above many Golden Core Elders, and some say that only Golden Core True Inheritors are True Disciples in the true sense."
Su Yan paused slightly before adding another sentence.
"Whether it’s the top ten orthodox sects or the major demon sects, they all focus on cultivating the younger generation.
It is said that some Secret Realms restrict entry to those below a hundred years of age, so major sects place extreme importance on the younger generation below this age.
The status of Cyan Simurgh Sect’s True Disciples is considered average. It is said that in the Taiyi Sect, the thirty-six True Disciples have the right to influence the direction of the entire sect, with even the Nascent Soul True Monarchs inside the sect only able to obey the True Disciples’ commands."
As she said this, a hint of longing for the True Successor Position flashed in Su Yan’s eyes.
In terms of cultivation potential, Su Yan is already considered extremely high among her peers, but she is far from reaching the standard to become a True Disciple.
Ji Xingyao’s foundation is damaged, preventing her from advancing to Golden Core, which will open up a True Successor Position, giving them the only hope of promotion to True Disciples.
Even if the hope is dim, they are willing to try with all their might.
However, understanding flashed across Lu Yan’s eyes. Considering the saying that there are immortals behind the top ten sects, the major sects focusing on cultivating the younger generation is likely not because of some age-restricted Secret Realms, but due to some special world versions.
For instance, in the urban versions, there are no extraordinary beings, and a lifespan over a hundred is the limit.
Excluding the urban version, not all versions have cultivators who can attain immortality, and some versions do not have the longevity for powerful beings.
Focusing on the younger generation is likely to maintain the sect’s competitiveness in those special versions.
While Lu Yan was pondering, he suddenly felt the concentration of Spiritual Qi around him suddenly increase, almost reaching a tenth of the infinite Spiritual Energy of the cyber version.
Although not as intense as the infinite Spiritual Energy in the cyber version, this is still an extremely terrifying figure.
If Lu Yan cultivated in this environment and combined with his vast merits to suppress the Heart Demon, he could forcibly break through to the late stage of Foundation Establishment within half a year.
Before Lu Yan could speak, he heard Su Yan explain:
"We’ve arrived at the Qingwu Blessed Land."
"We Direct Disciples cannot stay in the Qingwu Blessed Land for long without permission. We must quickly find Senior Sister Xingyao."
As soon as the words fell, the restriction enveloping the Flying Ship shattered with a roar, and the entire ship shook violently, even overturning the Spirit Tea on the table.
In the tea room, the fragrance of Spirit Tea wafted through the air as Su Yan, who had been gracefully displaying a gentle demeanor in front of Lu Yan, suddenly changed her expression.
"Who is it!"
Su Yan stepped out of the Flying Ship, intending to question, but found that those blocking the ship were actually fellow Direct Disciples.
"Xiao Shang, He Wudao, Di Qiweng, Bai Ruoyan... what do you intend to do?"
Su Yan cast a piercing gaze upon the group, her voice ringing like a silver bell with her questioning.
"You ask what we’re doing?" Xiao Shang, in his Daoist Robe, sneered coldly, fearlessly pressing:
"I want to ask what you’re doing!"
"It’s one thing not to tell us about Lu Yan, but you actually took that so-called Lu Yan to Ji Xingyao’s Cave Mansion. Are you actually trying to side with Ji Xingyao?"
