When I take my cultivation to the extreme

Chapter 80: Tangled!Rules of the Wandao Gate

Yi Chaosheng looked at Li Fan and said:

"Let me tell you some basic information about the Ten Thousand Dao Sect first, so that you know why it is so complex and why the sect is divided into factions."

Li Fan listened carefully and nodded slightly.

Yi Chaosheng said: "My Wandao Sect has been established for 7000 years, and the inheritance of sect rules has matured."

"In the sect, the leader is respected. The current leader is Gongsun Sihua. His achievement is the Great Perfection of the Late Golden Core. He has the highest seniority and is also recognized as No. 1 in strength by Wandao Sect."

"The Tianyuan Peak where the leader is located is the main peak of the Wandao Sect and is also where the meeting hall is located."

After a moment of pause, Yi Chaosheng continued:
"In addition to the head of the Wandao Sect, there are nine other elders, among whom I rank fifth."

"There are three generations among the nine elders, the leader, the great elder, the second elder is the oldest generation, the third elder to the sixth elder, including me, are the same generation, and the other three are younger than me. A generation of people.”

"The nine elders in the sect each occupy a mountain peak. Our lineage is in Tianxiao Peak, and the other eight elders are in Tianyue Peak, Tianshan Peak, Tianzun Peak, Tianyun Peak, Tianhong Peak, Tianwen Peak, and Tianyin Peak. Peak, Tianxing Peak.”

"We are collectively called the Nine Peaks Elders. The nine peaks are like a full moon, guarding Tianyuan Peak in the center."

"In addition, there are Miscellaneous Peaks within the sect, as well as Tianqing Peak, which is similar to the mountain sect, and a martial arts platform for disciples within the sect to compete and resolve disputes."

"This is the terrain within my sect."

Li Fan was a little surprised when he heard this.

When he came just now, he felt that Tianqing Peak was not very close to Tianxiao Peak, and even the Golden Core cultivators had been flying for a while.

If the distance between the Nine Peaks of the Wandao Sect and the Tianyuan Peak where the leader lives is the same, the territory occupied by the Wandao Sect would be too wide.

He felt that the next part might be the more important part, so he listened more carefully.

"The Wandao Sect has a long heritage and a profound foundation. There are going to be many factions in these sects." Li Fan thought to himself.

Yi Chaosheng continued:
"The elders of Wandao Sect each have their own responsibilities."

"For example, the first elder in the sect is in charge of the affairs of the deacons in the sect, the second elder is in charge of the Shanggong Pavilion, which is where sect tasks are released in the sect and rewards for good deeds are received, and the fourth elder is in charge of the Discipline Department."

"And I am in charge of the elixir garden."

Li Fan was a little surprised.

He looked at Yi Chaosheng.

Yi Chaosheng smiled and said: "Haha, I know you want to ask, as the fifth elder, should I be responsible for more important responsibilities?"

Li Fan didn't think there was anything wrong with thinking this way.

The person in charge of deacon affairs, or the Shanggong Pavilion, or the Discipline Department, is obviously more important than the Spiritual Medicine Garden.

He looked at Yi Chaosheng.

"I think Senior Yi has a profound cultivation, so he should take care of more important things." Li Fan did not hide it, he said it clearly.

Yi Chaosheng laughed and said, "You are right to have this idea."

"Actually, back then, the head wanted me to take charge of the Discipline Department or the Shanggong Pavilion. However, I don't like those clichéd and cumbersome affairs by nature, so I chose a spiritual medicine garden."

"There are very few things here, so I enjoy my leisure time. If anything is left to the deacons and disciples below, I feel at ease."

Li Fan understood this after hearing this.

He breathed a sigh of relief.

If he hadn't known this news, Li Fan would have thought that Yi Chaosheng had failed in the factional struggle within the Wandao Sect.

Of course, even so, Li Fan would still worship Yi Chaosheng.

But in that case, life in the sect would be much more difficult.

A wisp of smoke floated from the red sandalwood incense burner in the room.

Yi Chaosheng continued: "The following words are quite important, please listen carefully."

Li Fan cheered up and listened carefully.

Yi Chaosheng's tone increased and he said: "The factional disputes in Wandao Sect come from the rules set by the founder of the Li Sect."

"In the sect, although private fights are prohibited, if there is a conflict between elders, they cannot use force. This is the sect rule.

But in the sect rules, there is a general outline that those who are capable will be promoted and those who are incompetent will be demoted. "

"Although the latter is not explicitly written into the sect rules and regulations, it is integrated into the lines of the sect rules and integrated with the entire Wandao Sect."

"According to the rules of the sect, the Wandao Sect can only have elders from the Nine Peaks at most. It is better to have fewer elders than to have more elders. If there are not enough elders from the Nine Peaks, we would rather leave the elder's position vacant rather than appoint him at will."

"And when the talent is at its peak, no matter how many amazing elites there are, there won't be an additional position."

"The number of elders in the sect is fixed, it can only be less, not more."

"This is a contradiction...Golden elixir monks have a thousand years of life. Even if they are ahead for a while, there will always be more outstanding successors."

"Today, Wandao Sect is like this."

When Yi Chaosheng said this, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, and he said: "Since the disaster of 3000 years ago, my senior Wandao Sect has turned the tide. After quelling the disaster, he has become a leader in the immortal cultivation world in the southeastern continent of Tianyuan Realm. The talents in the sect have flourished. Accumulated to this day, the foundation is extremely solid.”

"Now, in addition to the headmaster and nine elders, there are five other golden elixir monks in the sect."

"Including Jin Daosheng, the direct disciple of the headmaster, Ling Feiyu and Ou Chenglin, the two direct disciples of the Great Elder, and Luo Qing, the elder of the Jindan period."

"Let's not mention Luo Qing among them. He is a guest minister. Although he is called the elder guest minister, his position is only a false one and does not involve the true core of Wandao Sect."

"The rules of the Ten Thousand Dao Sect do not mean that the disciples of every peak elder will inevitably inherit the peak."

"In the sect, there is an assessment every 100 years for the elders of each peak, comparing the sect's contribution, things done, evaluations of fellow sects, and most importantly...strength!"

"Once you fail the assessment, you may change the position of the elder, or you may lose your identity as an elder and leave one of the nine peaks where you are, abdicate in favor of someone worthy of your position, and become an idle golden elixir again."

"At the Golden Core level, everyone is concerned about face. No matter which elder they are, they cannot afford to change the seat of the elders, let alone give up their status as elders and one of the nine peaks where they are located, and abdicate in favor of others."

When Li Fan heard this, he couldn't help but feel shocked.

He looked at Yi Chaosheng with surprise on his face.

"There is such an arrangement?" Li Fan said.

After pausing for a moment, Li Fan sighed deeply and said: "The founder of Wandao Sect must have been a person who highly respected competition."

"Sect rules like Wandao Sect must be to force everyone in the sect to work hard and not slack off in order to stabilize their position."

"That's right." Yi Chaosheng nodded, deeply convinced.

Yi Chaosheng said: "Because of this, the entire Wandao Sect has been striving hard to stand out and become the leader in the world of immortality in its continent."

After a moment of pause, he said: "I just mentioned four people who have the strength of the Golden Core stage but do not have the qualifications to be elders."

The figure of a beautiful woman in white clothes suddenly appeared in Li Fan's mind.

He looked at Yi Chaosheng.

"This fifth golden elixir is Senior Yi Xixuan." Li Fan said.

"Exactly." Yi Chaosheng nodded and asked, "You know that Yi Xixuan is my niece, but do you know that she has another identity, that she is the direct disciple of the second elder Li Longxin."

Li Fan was startled.

He frowned, and after thinking for a moment, he opened his brows.

"wonderful."

"In this way, what Senior Yi Xixuan will get is the joint support of the second elder and Senior Yi, and the possibility of becoming an elder in the future will become greater." Li Fan praised.

Yi Chaosheng said with a rather proud smile:

"Haha, you are very good, I thought of this right away."

"Yes, I had this idea at the time. Let Xixuan become my disciple. First, I would avoid suspicion and I would have less excuses for others to attack me. And the second benefit is particularly great, that is, Xixuan could get the help of the second elder and me. With support and resource supply, as well as her extremely excellent talent, she has indeed achieved something now." "How about it, I am very clever, right?" Yi Chaosheng asked.

Li Fan couldn't help laughing.

He didn't hide his smile either.

Li Fan said: "You have great foresight."

"Hahaha!" Yi Chaosheng was very satisfied, stroking his beard and laughing.

After a while, Yi Chaosheng stopped laughing and looked at Li Fan becoming more friendly.

He continued: "The layout inside the door is pretty much what I told you."

"And the factional relationships among the Ten Thousand Sects are very complicated."

"There are less than seven years left for the once-in-a-century redefinition of elder identity."

"The Ninth Elder and the Eighth Elder have both reached the middle stage of the Golden Core, and their status is unstable."

"The eighth elder is worried that Lao Jiu will challenge his position, and Lao Jiu is even more worried. Among the rising juniors, Jin Daosheng, the direct descendant of the headmaster, and Ling Feiyu, the direct disciple of the second elder, are qualified to challenge Lao Jiu. Now it seems that there will be more Yi Xixuan, the ninth elder’s status is in jeopardy.”

"The Seventh Elder is the most talented and fastest-growing person of his generation. He is working hard to challenge the Sixth Elder for his position."

"The sixth elder is not as strong as me, so I suppressed him so that he did not dare to move. He was also worried about having his status taken away, so he had conflicts with the seventh elder."

When Yi Chaosheng said this, he paused for a moment.

"As for me, I usually don't like these clichés, but in terms of talent and practice, I, Yi Chaosheng, am not weaker than others, and my real strength has surpassed that of the Fourth Elder."

"It's just that I'm too lazy to fight for those false reputations and don't want to challenge him."

"But the fourth elder, who is in charge of the Discipline Department, has studied punishment names a lot, has seen too much darkness, and has dark thoughts."

"Although I never thought about challenging him to take his position, the other party always suspected that I was accumulating strength, so the relationship with me was very bad."

"As for the Great Elder Bai Linfeng, he had many disputes with the leader because of his different ideas. He has always wanted to get the position of leader. However, his strength is not as good as the leader, but he is still capable of fighting and developing power within the sect at the same time. Haha, I have received hints from him, but I am still too lazy to participate in these things."

When Li Fan heard this, even though he had a photographic memory, he felt a little hot-headed.

The relationship between these seven, seven and eighty-eight is really complicated and difficult to remember.

If it didn't sound important, Li Fan wouldn't want to remember this.

He rubbed his forehead with his fingers.

"It's not easy to survive in a big sect." Li Fan sighed.

"Haha, don't be scared. It's just that you haven't understood this before. It sounds complicated." Yi Chaosheng smiled.
He continued: "You don't have to memorize everything. Just know a rough idea. If you have contact with them in the future, you will naturally understand everything."

"You just need to remember that the largest factions in the sect are represented by the leader and the great elder."

"I have a good relationship with the second elder, but the fourth elder is suspicious of me, and the sixth elder is dissatisfied with me."

Li Fan felt much refreshed.

He wrote down this relationship.

Li Fan raised his head and asked: "Senior, will my arrival affect the situation here?"

"It sounds like it's all a fight for the golden elixir. I'm in the early stages of the foundation building period, so it shouldn't have any impact, right?"

Yi Chaosheng shook his head.

"it's not true."

"Before I was in the sect, because of my personality, I didn't like to argue about these mundane matters, and I didn't have any direct disciples. The other elders were less wary of me, and I was happy and detached."

"Now that I accept you as my personal successor, some people will definitely change their mentality and think that I have some agenda and get involved in their calculations."

Yi Chaosheng looked at Li Fan and warned:

"Although sect factional disputes are mainly a matter of the elders, the attitudes of the elders will definitely affect the younger ones."

"When you first enter the sect, you must be careful. Don't let anyone bully you because you don't know the details of the sect, or put you in a stumbling block without knowing it."

"I'm telling you a lot today, just to let you know why it's so that you won't be deceived."

"Tomorrow I will take you to Tianyuan Peak. The important elders and disciples in the sect will go there. Please recognize them."

"But you should also be more careful, and be especially careful with the disciples of the Fourth Elder and Sixth Elder. Maybe they will target you, bully you for being new and ignorant, make you look bad, and bring shame on us at Tianxiao Peak."

Li Fan felt something in his heart.

It’s really not easy for this large sect to survive!

But Li Fan was not afraid either.

Yi Chaosheng broke apart the sect relationship and explained it to Li Fan, which conveyed an attitude that he was serious about cultivating him.

Li Fan can see clearly.

As for the complicated sect relationships, Li Fan is not afraid either.

Things in the world are like this. Small places have their own difficulties, and big sects also have their own troubles. You can't escape them no matter where you go.

They come, the security.

Li Fan didn't think he was any worse than other direct disciples.

Want to hurt him?
There's a price to pay!

"I understand, Senior Yi, your time is precious. You can help me clear up my doubts so that I don't make mistakes. Li Fan is very grateful." Li Fan said with his hand.

Yi Chaosheng was very satisfied with Li Fan's courtesy.

Yi Chaosheng smiled and said: "Hahaha, you still call me Senior Yi?"

Li Fan was startled.

He immediately reacted and changed his words: "Master!"

Yi Chaosheng laughed.

...

In this way, Li Fan settled down in Tianxiao Palace.

His residence is the Nuanyu Room in Tianxiao Palace.

This place is second only to Yi Chaosheng's place of cultivation and residence in Tianxiao Palace.

Tianxiao Palace is the place where the fifth-level spiritual veins meet. The Nuanyu Room is in a better location, and the furnishings are very exquisite, even luxurious.

Li Fan saw the jade cabinet and the furnishings made of spiritual wood, and realized that it was true that Yi Chaosheng said that Wandaomen did not exclude luxury enjoyment.

However, under the rules of Wandao Sect, even those who have the conditions to enjoy it may not have the willingness and time. From the head to the outer disciples, they must work hard to maintain their status.

Li Fan was sitting in the warm jade room, and a servant disciple presented him with spiritual fruits.

Li Fan picked a green grape that contained spiritual energy and ate it. It was sweet and delicious.

In his mind, he was thinking about tomorrow.

It was no small matter for Yi Chaosheng to accept Li Fan as his direct disciple.

Tomorrow there happens to be something to be done by the elders in the sect, and Yi Chaosheng wants to take Li Fan to the Tianyuan Peak Conference Hall.

There will be many prominent figures from Wandao Sect in the meeting hall.

At that time, it will be Li Fan's first official appearance in Wandaomen.

Maybe someone will target Li Fan at that time.
