Except for the nineteen sects in Xuanjie, the status of any other sect is not static.

Even among the top ten of the thirty-six sects, there will occasionally be changes in ranking.

For example, the Fairy Palace was able to win the title of "No. 1 in the Top Ten" by knocking down the Huang family of Zhongzhou. Later, the ranking was able to remain stable because this sect was able to suppress its own ambitions very well.

There is no extravagant expectation to become "Twenty Sects"; coupled with the development strategy of Fairy Palace, it has always been on good terms with other sects, so it can gain a firm foothold.

In addition to such inspirational Fairy Palace, Xizhou Ji Family, Xingyun Palace, and Longhu Villa are also quite inspirational representatives - these sects were not at the "top" level of the Thirty-Six Sects from the beginning.

Ten" sequence, but relied on one's own development and efforts to finally become famous.

Then if someone gets up, someone will naturally get down.

However, the drop in ranking is not just because other sects are developing well and are being pulled down.

Among the sects that can become the thirty-six sects, which one does not have thousands of years of heritage?

While others are developing and occupying more resources, how can they stagnate?

Unless, the leader made a major decision-making error, or there was a special event such as a split in the sect or the death of a large number of strong men in the sect.

The predecessor of Xingyun Palace was Xingtian Sect.

This sect is extremely ambitious, and its philosophy at the beginning of its establishment was to "do justice for heaven and slay demons."

In fact, the Xingtian Sect was indeed quite famous during the war against the demon clan, which is why they were later ranked among the top thirty-six Sects.

But it is a pity that due to internal decision-making issues and ideological disputes within the sect, Xingtian Sect suffered an internal split, and Xingyun Palace was born. After that, Xingtian Sect finally ceased to be "

The concept of "doing justice for heaven" was changed to the theory of "complying with heaven's will".

But it is a pity that with the split of Xingtian Sect and a series of wrong decisions within the sect, the sect's strength declined at an alarming rate. Later, the mysterious disappearance of the sect's masters completely became the crushing factor for the sect.

The last straw for Tianzong was completely replaced by Xingyun Palace.

Today's Xingtian Sect has reached the end of its seventy-two years.

If nothing unexpected happens, I'm afraid it will soon become a third-rate sect.

But before this sect completely became a third-rate sect, it is still one of the seventy-two sects and still has a considerable degree of influence.

In the main square hall of the sect, the elder of the Xingtian Sect, who is similar to the leader of the family, is sitting on a futon standing on a three-meter boulder. His eyes are like lightning, shooting at the thousands of disciples who are practicing in the square.

.

These disciples are generally young, basically eight or nine years old, and the oldest is only twelve or three years old.

At this time, they were practicing boxing in the square, with serious and rigorous expressions on their little faces, and they were punching and kicking in a precise manner.

The movements of these thousands of disciples punching and kicking together seemed to have a strange sense of harmonious beauty.

These disciples are the outer disciples of Xingtian Sect.

They will receive unified training here for about five to ten years, and then be assigned according to specific situations - disciples with sufficient talent will be chosen by the elders very early and become the true disciples of these elders. And if they can

Those who perform well enough within five years have a certain chance of becoming a true disciple, or at the worst, a direct disciple.

If they are unable to enter the inner sect within ten years, then these disciples will have only two options left: either become outer sect law enforcement disciples who specialize in handling secular affairs, or they can only leave Xingtian Sect.

The former will be arranged to patrol and garrison in the secret areas controlled by the Xingtian Sect to maintain the smooth operation and resource extraction of the secret areas controlled by the sect; although the latter has left the Xingtian Sect, due to the skills he has learned,

existence, it is possible to live a more generous life than ordinary people, and it is impossible to say that the descendants born of these disciples will be geniuses in the future - basically, more than half of the fresh blood sources of each sect come from this method.

.

And this is also the basis for most families in the Xuan Realm.

Scanning the movements of the disciples in the square, the deacon elder of the Xingtian Sect nodded with satisfaction.

His cultivation is not strong.

There is only an earthly fairyland.

But in the Xingtian Sect, which has basically fallen to the edge of the third-rate sect, he is already considered a very rare strong man - in the Xingtian Sect today, there is only one Supreme Elder who has resigned from the position of leader and is in the Sea of ​​Bitterness realm.

Your Majesty, but his end is approaching; and the new one takes over

The former great elder in the position of head is only a great master of Daoji Realm, but fortunately, Xingtian Sect still has some background after all. In addition to the leader, the entire sect also has two other great masters of Daoji Realm.

As well as a total of thirteen immortals including this deacon and elder.

According to the criteria for judging the strength of the sequence in the Xuanjie, at least one of the seventy-two sects must have a Venerable Master of the Sea of ​​Bitterness. However, the change of sect levels is definitely not an easy matter, so even if the Sect of Xingtian Sect is approaching its end, the Bitter Sea

The Venerable Realm died suddenly on the spot, but as long as Xingtian Sect can give birth to another Venerable Sea Realm in the next few decades, there is still a high possibility that it can maintain its ranking without falling.

But that's all.

It will take more than a thousand years to restore the Xingtian Sect to its previous prestige.

It is precisely because of this that Xingtian Sect attaches so much importance to the education of the next generation of disciples.

"Very good, I'm very satisfied."

Seeing all the outer disciples finish a set of body-building exercises and begin to exhale and retract their moves, Xu Dazhi nodded with satisfaction: "Looking at your performance, it is enough to prove that you have not wasted the past half month.

, I saw that many people have reached the fifth level of Qi Gathering Realm, and the weakest ones are also at the third level of Qi Gathering Realm. I believe you should be fine for the assessment at the end of the month."

Having said this, Xu Dazhi laughed: "The Zhengpinghe method of our Xingtian Sect's "Tianxingjian Breathing and Inhalation Method" is most suitable for the cultivation of the Qi Gathering Stage. If someone can practice to the Qi Gathering Stage by the end of the month

If you reach the seventh level, you will definitely be accepted as a disciple by other elders, so you don’t have to worry about the future."

After hearing Xu Dazhi's words, many disciples showed joy on their faces.

Xu Dazhi's face was also full of smiles.

What he just said was not to deceive these outer disciples.

Xingtian Sect's way of advancing the cultivation techniques is different from other sects, because this sect's techniques do not have the kind that allow monks to continue to practice, but there are different techniques for each stage.

distribute.

In the Qi-gathering state, practice the "Tian Xing Jian Breathing and Inhalation Technique" which focuses on gathering qi. In the Shenhai state, practice the "Qingkong Yangshen Jue" which focuses on exercising your spiritual consciousness. In the Tongqiao state, practice the "Five Elements Breathing and Inhalation Technique" which tempers the internal organs.

》etc. It was not until after the natal realm that the disciples began to focus on different exercises based on each disciple's physical fitness, preferences, personality, etc.

Although Xingtian Sect is now in danger of falling into the third-rate sect, its own foundation and inheritance have never been cut off. Therefore, even though it is now at the end of the seventy-two sects, its standards for accepting disciples and the criteria for judging internal and external sects

And so on, but it is always carried out according to the standards of the thirty-sixth year of the sect.

That is to say, if you want to become an inner disciple, you must at least have the strength of the Yunling Realm; and if you want to become a direct disciple of an elder, you must at least have the potential of the Soul Condensation Realm. If you only have the natal realm

At best, he could only be a registered disciple - barely a higher level of treatment than an inner disciple.

According to the theory of building the foundation of the Qi Gathering Realm in a hundred days, these outer disciples have been practicing for a month and a half, and it will be exactly two months by the end of the month. If someone can reach the seventh level of the Qi Gathering Realm by then, their potential and qualifications will naturally

He is also in the realm of destiny, and it is only a matter of time before he is accepted into the inner sect.

So Xu Dazhi's words are not writing a blank check.

The current Xingtian Sect really needs to establish the pillars of confidence of these disciples as soon as possible.

Xu Dazhi looked at the thousands of disciples in front of him. He felt that this time, their Xingtian Sect could really do it!

As long as the Supreme Elder persists for another hundred years or so, the Xingtian Sect will definitely be able to get rid of its reputation as the last of the Seventy-Two Sects.

"Okay, that's it for today." Xu Dazhi clapped his hands and signaled that the disciples in the square could disperse. "If you have any questions, you can record them first. We will also discuss them before the assessment at the end of the month.

There will be an open class, and then you can ask me these questions again."

"Yes." The responses from the thousands of outer disciples were particularly loud.

A smile appeared on Xu Dazhi's face again.

He just likes this feeling of vitality.

"call out--"

A sharp sound broke through the air suddenly.

A huge boulder, almost three meters high, flew towards Xu Dazhi at an astonishing speed.

Almost at the moment when the boulder hit Xu Dazhi, dozens of cracks burst out from the entire boulder, and the next second the boulder exploded completely, shooting out in all directions. But the strange thing is,

These flying gravels

However, it did not fall to the ground. Instead, it was pulled by some invisible force. Instead, it was suspended around Xu Dazhi's body, and the sizzling white air was constantly bursting out on the gravel, actually pulling it up.

These gravels are polished to be sharper.

"How brave!" Xu Dazhi snorted coldly.

His whole body slowly floated into the air, and all the surrounding gravel blocks that had been polished into sharp stones were suspended beside him, pointing at two figures hundreds of meters away.

"You dare to come to Xingtian Sect to cause trouble. It seems that if I don't teach you a lesson today, Xuanjie will really think that cats and dogs can come to Xingtian Sect and act arrogantly!"

"oh--!"

A group of outer disciples suddenly burst into cheers.

These disciples who came to be their disciples had naturally heard the rumors about Xingtian Sect’s sunset in Xishan. However, there were no very powerful sects in the land of Dongzhou. In addition, these disciples had little knowledge of their own qualifications. Therefore,

Naturally, he doesn't have any insight.

But at the very least, they naturally don't want their sect to be too weak.
