A perfectly straight flight of stone steps led straight to the Lunar Sect.
Qinchuan and the phoenix maiden walked up the stone steps.
At the top of the mountain, there was a gate. There was no gate, and there were three to five disciples standing there. There were people taking turns to guard the gate every day.
The few of them were not overbearing and asked very politely. Perhaps it was because the phoenix girl was beautiful, but these few disciples who were guarding the door were very enthusiastic.
After learning that the two of them had come with a token to report, one of them directly led the two of them to report.
At first, Qinchuan was curious how the Lunar Sect had found him. Later, he learned that the Lunar Sect was divided into the Inner Sect and the Outer Sect, and the Outer Sect had some people in every city of the Northern Border Empire. They were used to find talents and then recruit them to the Lunar Sect.
However, their identities had to be investigated before this.
They went to the Outer Sect Hall. New disciples had to join the Outer Sect, and couldn't directly enter the Inner Sect. Only those who had outstanding performance or stayed for 10 years could become Inner Sect disciples. They could also choose to stay in the Outer Sect.
There were more people in the Outer Sect than the Inner Sect. The Inner Sect was the true cultivators. In the eyes of many Outer Sect disciples, they weren't as free and easy as the Outer Sect. Moreover, the Outer Sect came into contact with the mortal world, and even directly managed the affairs of the mortal world. They enjoyed life, and it was very comfortable to have a powerful backer.
Many people actually liked the life of ordinary people. They could be said to be a transcendent existence in the world of ordinary people. That feeling was really great. Behind them was the Lunar Sect, so who dared to provoke them?
Some people in the Outer Sect wanted to enter the Inner Sect, but there were also some who liked to stay in the Outer Sect for the rest of their lives, and handle some affairs for the Lunar Sect. These were indispensable.
Qinchuan and the phoenix maiden arrived at the Outer Sect Hall, and saw the Hall Master of the Outer Sect. He was a kind old man, and everyone called him Hall Master Yun.
"Greetings, Hall Master Yun!" Qinchuan and the phoenix maiden bowed to the old man.
"Haha, good, good. Welcome to the Outer Sect Hall of the Lunar Sect. Come here to register." The old man smiled, and led Qinchuan and the phoenix maiden to register.
Then, they were given some necessary things, as well as assigned accommodation.
The Lunar Sect was the ruler of this region. Although there were many of them, each of them could still have a sizable residence. This was also the reason why Qinchuan had been unable to see the end of the Lunar Sect. The buildings here were far too vast.
The area closest to the mountain gate was naturally the Outer Sect, which occupied almost 80% of the area of the Lunar Sect. The innermost area was the Inner Sect. Those from the Outer Sect didn't have the right to enter the Inner Sect.
Qinchuan and the phoenix girl were each assigned a small courtyard. This small courtyard was very small, but it had everything: a living room, a kitchen, and a bedroom.
Furthermore, there were many mountain peaks in the vicinity that resembled stone forests. Supposedly, inner sect disciples with status and ability could occupy a mountain peak and turn it into their own mansion or cultivation ground.
It was a symbol of identity and status.
As for the elders and the others, there was naturally no need to mention them. Each of them had a mountain as their residence.
The Outer Sect had mentoring elders, as well as the Outer Sect's library. In fact, the Outer Sect usually only needed to take turns to take care of worldly affairs. After all, they were the ruler of a region, and collecting taxes was a terrifying source of income. However, a ruler ruled over a region, so they naturally had to do some things. For example, if something happened that couldn't be resolved, it would be handled by the Lunar Sect.
To put it bluntly, it was to protect a region and make it safe.
If a Beast Tide occurred somewhere, or an enemy attack, or even some Greater Demons or Demon Kings massacred an entire city …
There were also some things to inquire about outside information, or search for treasures, and so on.
There were many things to do every day, so whether it was the Outer Sect disciples or the Inner Sect disciples, they were actually very busy. After all, the region they ruled over was incredibly vast.
However, as long as they worked, there would be rewards. These were the sect's points. These points could be used to exchange for alchemical pills, weapons, and so on. They could also be used to exchange for cultivation techniques and even some treasures.
Thus, in the Lunar Sect, points were wealth. Points represented contribution to the sect, and the higher the points, the higher the status, and the higher the position.
Qinchuan naturally wanted to join the Inner Sect. If he didn't join the Inner Sect, he wouldn't be able to come into contact with higher levels at all. However, if he wanted to join the Inner Sect, he would normally need 10 years. Unless some elders or others took a liking to him, he would be able to enter in a short time.
If he wanted to attract the attention of others, he naturally had to make a name for himself. He had to make some movements at the beginning of the year to attract people's attention.
Qinchuan felt that entering the Inner Sect wasn't too urgent, because even if there were elders who took a liking to him, he would still have to stay in the Outer Sect for a year.
Thus, he had a year's time, so there was no need to rush.
There were a few special symbols of the Outer Sect, and the most eye-catching one was naturally the Ranking Monument.
The Outer Sect Ranking Monument!
This was also an indicator of quickly becoming famous. For example, entering the Ranking Monument would naturally attract attention.
The Ranking Monument only recorded the top 100, and for the Outer Sect, which had more than 100,000 people, the competition could be said to be extremely fierce. The rankings on the Ranking Monument were also changing at any time, and there would be many people ranking on the Ranking Monument every day.
The Ranking Monument was similar to those in the past, but the Ranking Monument here was of a higher level. The Memory Crystal, Illusion Formation, and so on were of a higher level.
At this moment, Qinchuan was here at the Ranking Monument.
The huge Ranking Monument was flickering with fluorescent light, emitting a strange power. At this moment, there were already many people here. Many people were challenging, but there were also many people who were here to watch the show.
For example, a group of people who had a good relationship with each other would come here, and only one of them would come to challenge, while the others would come to watch the show. If they succeeded, everyone would celebrate and find a place to eat and drink to celebrate.
There were many situations like this.
But there were also many people like Qinchuan who came alone.
Qinchuan didn't plan to challenge today, he just came to watch.
The information on the Ranking Monument was a name.
The first name was a name that looked like a woman's.
Splendid!
Qinchuan looked at the second name.
Nangong Yijian!
This name should be a man's name.
The third name was King Kong.
This name made Qinchuan feel very happy, but he didn't know if the person lived up to the name.
The fourth name was also like a woman's.
Little Demon!
This name reminded Qinchuan of a little girl in the past, so he shook his head.
The fifth name was Yun Feiyang!
This name was quite proper, but the name didn't mean anything. However, it was easy for people to remember.
The sixth name was also very impressive.
Martial Scholar!
The seventh name was Ye Wuhua.
The eighth name was Lin Feng.
…
Just as Qinchuan was about to leave, a group of people appeared. When Qinchuan saw this group of people, he was slightly stunned. The Golden Dragon Crown Prince and the others were also among them.
However, the Golden Dragon Crown Prince didn't seem to be the most distinguished person, because he was standing behind someone.
This person made Qinchuan think of King Kong at first glance.
