94. The outer sect of the Demon Sword Sect

Because of the special geographical customs of the Southern Wilderness, the Demon Sword Sect is slightly different from the Tianjian Sect and Xuanwu Palace. Its inner and outer sects are in the secret realm, unlike the Tianjian Sect and Xuanwu Palace sects, the outer sects are all in the secular world.

Of course, this has a certain relationship with the secret realm of the Demon Sword Sect that is a major secret realm. Like the inner secret realm of the Tianjian Sect, it is just a central secret realm.

However, in a small town not far from the entrance to the Secret Realm of the Demon Sword Sect, there is an outer hall dedicated to receiving those who come to the Secret Realm of the Demon Sword Sect to be apprenticed. But if it is brought by the people from the Outer Hall, there will inevitably be a disciple. This is also the reason why Ye Xuan was surprised when he left and opened the Secret Realm entrance.

The outer sect of the Demon Sword Sect is about 4,000 miles away from the main peak of the Nine Swords Peak.

If Xie Simin had not brought Ye Xuan over, even if he had walked for one or two months, he would not have been able to arrive at the outer gate.

Because in the secret realm of the Demon Sword Sect, there are lush woods and jungles everywhere, and it is not suitable for the biological movements of horses. If you do not use the flying crane talisman, fly with swords or fly spirit beasts, even if you keep rushing day and night, it will take at least several days from the outer gate to the main peak of the Nine Swords Peak.

But it is not safe along the way, because in order to hone the disciples in the sect, the Demon Sword Sect has placed many wild beasts, even monsters and monsters in the secret realm. Of course, in order to avoid unnecessary accidents, there are also some restrictions in the area near the outer sect. The purpose is to prevent some too powerful monsters and monsters from harming the outer sect disciples.

At this moment, Ye Xuan stood in front of a stone stairs and looked up at the top of the stone stairs.

There, you can vaguely see a huge square stone gate, and the stone tablet on the stone gate is engraved with the words "Demon Sword Sect".

Although the statements of inner and outer sects are a recognized fact, they will not be said in any sect. They will not even talk about the outside world. This is why people in the world do not know very well that there are differences between inner and outer sects of each sect.

There are 999 stone steps in total, each step is paved with a stone that is five meters long and twenty centimeters high.

Countless years have passed, and the stone steps have not been damaged by any damage, but are as smooth as ever. This has always been regarded as a strange thing in the Demon Sword Sect, but only a few people know that in fact, the 999th-level stone steps are itself a magic weapon from Longxiang Temple. However, in a battle, the holy monk holding this magic weapon was killed by Xie Simin, and this magic weapon became the spoils of the Demon Sword Sect.

Later, after the sacrifices and refining of several supreme elders of the Demon Sword Sect, this magic weapon was completely refined into a special sword formation. Each stone staircase was sealed with a fifth-grade flying sword. Although the grade was not high, when nine hundred and ninety-nine were released, it could automatically be set up into a sword formation that could attack or defend. This is the mountain protection formation here at the outer gate of the Demon Sword Sect.

Of course, there is no way to compare with the Tianfeng Nine Sword Formation in terms of power.

Because these two are not conceptually at all.

However, this magic weapon can be moved at will, and its effect is somewhat similar to that of a banner.

Ye Xuan looked at Tamamo who was following him. His eyes were full of curiosity, but it could be seen that he should be happy now.

Tamamo raised his head, called Ye Xuan a few times, and then ran up to the steps. After running more than ten steps in succession, it stopped, turned around and looked at Ye Xuan, called out a few more times, and then ran up several steps again, looking back at Ye Xuan again. It seemed that seeing Ye Xuan did not follow, Tamamo ran down quickly again. However, this time, when it ran to the steps of the same height as Ye Xuan, it suddenly jumped hard, then threw itself into Ye Xuan's arms, put it on Ye Xuan's body, and stuck out his tongue to lick Ye Xuan's neck.

Holding Tamamoto in his arms, Ye Xuan gently rubbed Tamamoto's head and smiled: "We will stay here for a while."

Tamamo tilted his head and blinked very humanely. From its eyes, it could be seen that it was a little confused.

For Tamamo, there is no difference where he lives. Before following Ye Xuan, he had been living alone. If it weren't for that accident, he would still live alone on that hill and would not have followed Ye Xuan everywhere. However, although this period was a bit dangerous, for Tamamo, it was full of novelty. It had seen a world that was completely different from before.

In Tamamo's little head, it felt that this was the real world.

Ye Xuan did not have any luggage on his hand. After taking the Sumeru Ring back, it means that he can go lightly wherever he goes.

Stepping onto the stairs, Ye Xuan walked towards the top of the stone steps. He knew that he would spend here in the next year or two years. At least until his strength was improved to a certain level, he would not leave here, because no place would be safer and more convenient than the Demon Sword Sect.

Not to mention anything else, in the secret realm of the Demon Sword Sect, his safety is at least guaranteed to a certain extent.

Moreover, a secret realm is so big that it is impossible to have only one dragon vein. After all, it will take as soon as three days for Xie Simin to fly from one end of the secret realm to the other end. Therefore, Ye Xuan felt that if he could find a ground vein that had not been suppressed, then his "Shanhe Art" could also be practiced.

At present, a dragon vein and a earth vein have been discovered in the secret realm of the Demon Sword Sect.

The dragon vein was naturally suppressed at the Nine Sword Peak, while the earth vein was suppressed at the outer gate.

The outer sect of the Demon Sword Sect where Ye Xuan is located is a place opened by the first generation of the Demon Sword Sect's master with his magical powers. He leveled out a large area and built houses, martial arts training grounds, lecture halls, and even vegetable gardens, orchards on this area, completely realizing the self-sufficiency of the entire outer sect.

Therefore, any outer disciple who enters the Demon Sword Sect has only two ways to leave the secret realm: become an inner disciple and then gain the opportunity to go abroad for training; or be hired as a guard by some peripheral families. Any disciple of the Demon Sword Sect who leaves the secret realm will be regarded as a rebellion. Such a person is either cleared by the Demon Sword Sect or hides in the Southern Wilderness Paradise.

Of course, although the Demon Sword Sect did not clearly state it, in fact there is still another way, or in other words, an unspoken rule exists in any sect: a family that exists with its own sect. Of course, this kind of family is not too outstanding at the beginning, and it is not even considered a peripheral family. It’s just that because it is from a sect, it will still receive some degree of funding.

If a family member performs well, he can be recognized by the sect and officially become an outer family. The obligations of the outer family are like those dynasties that depend on the sect. They regularly send some seedlings with relatively good qualifications to the sect every year, and the sect must also ensure the safety of the outer family.

If an outer family can be promoted again, it can become a core family. The advantage of the core family over the outer family is that the seedlings they selected can directly enter the inner sect to practice, unlike the outer sect, which must start from the outer sect. However, there will not be too many core families in any sect. After all, not all families can take on the title of "core".

After walking past the last stone steps, Ye Xuan stood in front of the outer gate of the Demon Sword Sect.

In front of him was a huge rock five meters high with some words engraved on it. After Ye Xuan looked carefully, he speculated that it should be the remnant of a certain sword technique, because many of these words were completely incoherent, as if they were pieced together.

"This is the meaning of "understanding the sword intent". "Watch Ye Xuan as he looked at the stone tablet a little deeper, an old man over 50 years old walked out of nowhere and stood beside Ye Xuan. "You are the Lu Li mentioned by Elder Xie, right? Elder Xie has already given instructions. Lao Jiu's surname is Shi, and he is the sect leader here. If you don't dislike him, you can call me Senior Brother Shi."

"Senior Brother Shi, you are so polite. I should have visited you." Ye Xuan said with some surprise, but he still understood the point of hitting a snake with the stick.

"It's okay." The owner of the Shimen smiled and said, "After sitting for a long time, I need to go out and walk around. I'll take you to your courtyard now?"

Ye Xuan nodded, without objection. He knew why this Stone Sect Master was so polite to him.

In the Demon Sword Sect, the power of the Supreme Elder is greater than that of the sect leader, because they were all abdicated by the sect leader of all generations or promoted by the sect elders.

The second most recent position to the sect leader is the elders of the sect. They are the elders who assist the sect leader in managing the affairs of the sect. Behind the sect elders are the eight peak masters, who manage their respective side peaks, and the position of the sect leader is to run from the peak masters. The Supreme Elder, the Sect Elder, and the Elder cannot participate in the sect leader's election.

The masters of each peak have the power to appoint elders. Of course, these elders can only be elders of each peak. The elders' status is only one level higher than the deacons of each peak. However, they can compete for the position of the master after the master abdicates, or be appreciated by the sect leader and the Supreme Elder because of their excellent performance and are promoted to the elders of the sect.

It is precisely because of this rigorous class system that the Demon Sword Sect has ensured unity and stability over the past thousands of years. After all, the Demon Sword Sect is not as clear as some other sects. In the Demon Sword Sect, the strongest person is the senior brother or sister, and it has nothing to do with the other party’s entry.

The position of the sect leader of the outer sect is only the same as that of the elders of each peak in terms of status. Some inner disciples with deep backgrounds must deal with it politely even the sect leader of the outer sect, because if there is any conflict, the one who suffers will be the sect leader of the outer sect will suffer.

"Here, there will be lecturers in the lecture hall on the tenth of every month. If you are interested, you can also listen." Walking on the road, the Shimen Master smiled and told Ye Xuan about the situation of the outer sect, and told Ye Xuan some things that should be paid attention to, "And from the 21st to the 28th of every month, practical training will be conducted. After all, if a warrior does not have combat experience, no matter how high his cultivation is, it will be useless. Moreover, this ranking determines what kind of treatment you will receive next month."

"Does your current practical training still survive in the wild?" Ye Xuan asked with a smile.
