Starting As A Sect Leader: My Rules Are Bit Wild.

“Master, have you been discovered?!”

“Could it be that all of this is fake?”

At this moment, Xiao Ling’er thought a lot.

Could it be that she had been deceived?

Her teacher, Liang Danxia, was calmer and said in a deep voice, “That’s not necessarily true.”

“These sect rules were probably not set after you joined the sect, but before. So, it’s not necessarily aimed at you and me.”

“Moreover, if everything was false, the sect’s nurturing of you, whether it’s the Earth Core Demon Fire or the five elders’ tireless efforts to collect various spiritual herbs and materials for you, are all real.”

“So, you don’t need to overthink it.”

Although she was also very shocked, she had at least seen the world and experienced much more than Xiao Ling’er, so she could calm down more quickly, analyze the situation, and comfort her disciple.

“That’s true.”

Xiao Ling’er’s expression improved a lot. “In any case, even if there is a purpose, the kindness of the master and the sect towards me is always real. This cannot be faked.”

“It’s just, why is there such a rule in the sect rules? No, why are there so many strange rules?”

She couldn’t understand it.

Liang Danxia felt the same way.

After all, this was really outrageous. Which sect would write sect rules like this?

“I don’t know either.”

Liang Danxia didn’t understand, but it didn’t prevent her from making some deductions. “However, we can get a glimpse of the situation and analyze it a bit.”

“I think the time when these sect rules were written must have been before you joined the sect, at least before this year’s grand opening of the mountain gate for recruitment. Because only this year did they not look at talent but only at fate.”

“Furthermore, it should not be aimed at you and me, and they may not even know of my existence, because there are dozens of new recruitment rules, each corresponding to a specific group of people. Although they seem unrelated, in reality, they all have their own ‘special characteristics’.”

“I think…”

Speaking of this, she paused for a moment before slowly saying, “The person who set these sect rules must have their own ideas and be certain that the people who meet these conditions are all extraordinary?”

Speaking of this, even Liang Danxia herself felt very absurd.

Why would people who met these conditions be extraordinary?

But after thinking about it, she was confused again.

“And these conditions seem irrelevant and very messy, but in reality, in reality…”

“In reality, what, teacher?” Xiao Ling’er blinked her eyes.

“In reality, it seems to make some sense.”

Liang Danxia slowly said these words.

If she were a modern person, she would definitely be able to find an excellent word to describe it – “profound and unfathomable.”

Unfortunately, she was not.

Although she don’t understand it, she felt it’s very powerful.

“After all, they should have relied on these sect rules to pick you out from more than ten thousand people, and they have nurtured you so wholeheartedly, almost giving everything.”

“This also proves that these seemingly muddled and strange sect rules should be very extraordinary!”

Xiao Ling’er was stunned.

It seemed… that was indeed the case.

“Moreover, it can be seen from the attitude of the master and the Fifth Elder that they value these sect rules very much, or rather, they unconditionally believe in them?!”

“That’s right!”

Liang Danxia seemed to gradually understand and continued, “In my opinion, these should be the sect rules set by your master.”

“How can you see that?”

“You should have also seen that your master is not simple! His cultivation speed is almost faster than yours. You must know that you have my tireless personal guidance, and I gave you the cultivation methods, and you also have the blessing of the different fire and personally refined many pills.”

“But your master steadily suppresses you! You can never close the gap.”

“Secondly, your master has only just become the sect leader, and before this, the Embracing Moon Sect definitely did not have such rules! Otherwise, since they value these sect rules so much, why wouldn’t they have used them before this year’s grand opening of the mountain gate?”

“All of this points to your master.”

“He… has secrets.”

“And it should be a bigger secret than you and I!”

Xiao Ling’er was silent after listening.

Liang Danxia didn’t say anything else.

After a while, Xiao Ling’er smiled. “I was just worrying unnecessarily, teacher.”

“Everyone has their own secrets. It’s normal for the master to have secrets, isn’t it? It’s like the master should know that I have secrets, but he has never asked about them. Instead, he has used the power of the entire sect to nurture me wholeheartedly.”

“So, why should I care so much?”

“As long as the sect and the master treat me sincerely, I will naturally repay them with all I have.”

“Moreover, this has pointed me in a direction. In the future, when I travel outside, if I meet someone who meets the conditions, I can bring them back to the sect.”

“Good, very good!” Liang Danxia laughed. “That’s how it should be.”

Who didn’t have secrets?

She also had secrets!

She also hid things from this girl, but did having secrets mean that being good to you was not genuine?

“But teacher, let’s put aside the first part of the sect rules, which we don’t understand but vaguely feel are powerful. The latter part, the iron rules of the sect… won’t it be a bit too cowardly and too harsh?”

Xiao Ling’er began to pay attention to the second half of the sect rules.

She thought her teacher would agree with her, but she didn’t expect her answer to be completely opposite to what she thought. “No!”

“We can only guess about the first part, but the latter part can be called the truth!”

“Ah?!”

“You are still young and have experienced too few things. You will understand in the future.”

“As for now, if you act according to the sect rules, there will be no mistakes.”

Xiao Ling’er: “Σ(⊙▽⊙“a… uh.”

A few days later, outside Hongwu Immortal City.

Duan Qingyao and Xiao Ling’er slowly landed.

“Ling’er, this is Hongwu Immortal City.”

She explained with a smile, “Is it spectacular?”

“Spectacular!”

Xiao Ling’er exclaimed.

“That’s natural.” Duan Qingyao said with emotion, “Hongwu Immortal City has a permanent population of over 100 million. If you include the temporary residents, it’s close to 200 million.”

“Experts are as numerous as clouds!”

“Especially the current city lord, known as the Hongwu Earth Immortal, is a genuine Loose Immortal realm expert.”

“Loose Immortal?” Xiao Ling’er asked in confusion.

“The so-called Loose Immortals are cultivators who, after Ascending to Immortality, failed to ascend but did not die. Instead, they chose to disband their physical bodies and embark on the path of Loose Immortals. They are also known as Earth Immortals.”

“Ordinary Loose Immortals are stronger than Breaking Void and weaker than Ascending Immortal, between the two, but Loose Immortals can undergo tribulations. Each time they undergo a tribulation, their cultivation and combat power will skyrocket, and if they can pass twelve tribulations, they will directly cross the ‘Immortal’ realm and directly ascend to become a ‘True Immortal’!”

“Therefore, there is also the saying of the Twelve Tribulations of Loose Immortals, one tribulation, one step to heaven.”

“I see!”

Xiao Ling’er suddenly understood, but in her mind, Liang Danxia said with emotion, “Elder Duan is right, but the Twelve Tribulations of Loose Immortals are too difficult. In the entire history of the Immortal Martial Continent, there have been very few successful people.”

“Not to mention twelve tribulations, even those who can pass seven tribulations are geniuses.”

“A seven-tribulation Loose Immortal can easily defeat an Ascending Immortal realm cultivator.”

“And the Loose Immortal tribulation comes once every five hundred years, and it cannot be avoided.”

“So, only as a last resort should you have the idea of disbanding your physical body to cultivate as a Loose Immortal!”

“Yes, teacher.”
