The Lower Courtyard of Lingxiao is where Ye Xiaoye and other disciples who were just accepted into the Lingxiao Sect began their cultivation.
There, apart from the dean, presiding officers, teachers, patrols, etc., there are only two types of disciples or cultivators.
The first is the beginning of the Condensation Realm, including the time when you have not yet come into contact with cultivation.
The second is the entrance realm.
What happens after breaking through the Profound Entrance Realm?
After the breakthrough, you are eligible to change places, come to the Lingxiao Sect and start practicing, starting with the Xuan Guan realm.
Regarding this, Guang Qing had told Ye Xiaoye before that among the sect, the disciples with the lowest cultivation level are those in the Xuan Guan realm.
There is no Condensation Realm!
All disciples below the Xuan Guan realm practice outside and then are accepted into the sect, with different arrangements made depending on the situation.
Lingxiao Sect and Lingxiao Lower Courtyard are not only different inside and outside, but also up and down. They are two completely different worlds.
In terms of the path of a cultivator, this is not the starting point and the end point. What Mr. An said today clearly contains the message that Lingxiao Lower Courtyard is the starting station, and Lingxiao Sect is only the second station!
I don’t know how many more stops are ahead.
Anyway, this is not the final stop!
Not to mention that Ye Xiaoye was stunned, Xu Guangling was also frightened.
Really frightened.
I know that this world is not simple, it is amazing, and it is very likely to be awesome, but now you tell me that the place where the cultivators of the Earthly Immortal Realm are located is just a "Novice Village"?
I don't quite believe it.
I think you are bragging!
Mr. An had no intention of further answering Ye Xiaoye's questions, but turned around and continued walking up.
Ye Xiaoye also followed behind him.
The boss never spoke.
And this time, we reached the top.
There are two thousand six hundred and eighty-four stone steps, completed step by step.
Compared with the first time he walked up these stone steps, Ye Xiaoye's cultivation has improved greatly. Walking up this second time is much easier, but it can't be said to be the same as playing.
After all, it’s actually over two thousand levels!
Therefore, after finishing walking, Ye Xiaoye sat down on the top platform, with his feet resting on the stone steps below.
The posture is almost exactly the same as the first time.
The next moment, Mr. An actually followed his example and sat down not far from him.
Sitting in this posture, both of them naturally looked downwards and where they came from.
But the place of origin has been lost.
Just like when they were at the entrance just now, they couldn't see the situation here.
The extremely thin mist, which cannot be seen or felt when walking, becomes an extremely thick blockage and obstacle after extending the distance, cutting off the upper, lower, and front sides.
Although, when I looked up, the sky was clear and the sun was shining.
"Guangling, how do you feel when you walk up these stairs for the second time?"
Boss An asked leisurely.
I have so many experiences, but I can’t share them with you as a “fellow Taoist” for the time being.
Xu Guangling sighed slightly.
Ye Xiaoye turned to the boss and said respectfully and seriously: "Master An, I was walking behind you just now, and I walked all the steps without knowing it. I was so tired when I walked last time.
It’s been so long!”
"The stone steps are still the same stone steps."
"The stone steps have not changed."
"You have changed."
Boss An chuckled and said: "As your cultivation level gets higher and higher, it will become easier and easier to walk on these stone steps."
"If this disciple learns to teleport in the future, he will be able to go from the bottom to the top in one go." Ye Xiaoye said hopefully.
"no."
An Shoudao shook his head.
"The rules of the sect are that you can only walk on these stone steps, and you are not allowed to use any magic or magical powers."
"Disciple knows!" Ye Xiaoye was a little stunned, and then said to An Shoudao with close complaints, "Master An, you clearly said at the beginning that our Lingxiao Sect does not have many rules."
"Yeah, not much."
An Shoudao smiled and said, "After counting, it's just one, two, three, four, five, six... one hundred and eleven thousand... that's all."
Ye Xiaoye was stunned again.
An Shi, who had always given him a steady and serious impression, was acting differently from usual.
"The rules of the Lingxiao Sect have always been to restrict high-level cultivators. The higher your level, the more restrictions you will be subject to."
Brother An returned to normal and explained to Ye Xiaoye seriously, "As for those at your current level like Guangling, the sect basically has no rules, just for you. You only need to practice wholeheartedly, nothing else.
No need to ask, no need to care."
"Anshi, if the disciple doesn't practice and just plays around every day, no one will care about him?"
Ye Xiaoye asked curiously.
"No one cares."
Mr. An nodded.
Ye Xiaoye was once again stunned.
"Practice is each practitioner's own business. Why do we need others to control and supervise us?"
An Shoudao said calmly.
"When you were in Lingxiao Lower Court, someone was in charge of you, and someone must be in charge, because you didn't know what cultivation was at that time."
"But from an ordinary child to the Ning Yuan Realm, to the Profound Pass Realm, to the Awakening Realm, you already fully know what cultivation is about. At this time, the sect provides you with only inheritance, not
urge."
"It takes you a hundred years to open an orifice, and no one will supervise you."
Ye Xiaoye listened quietly.
"Do you understand why the sect would do this?"
After saying that, An Shoudao asked like this again.
Ye Xiaoye shook his head, nodded again, and then said: "Master An, I understand a little, but I don't understand a little."
"Tell me more specifically."
An Shoudao said lightly, "Whether it's what you understand or what you don't understand."
"Yes, Master An!"
Ye Xiaoye said respectfully.
"My disciple's understanding is that the sect is like the great road, which has both feelings and ruthlessness."
Bang!
In the Hanguang Palace, Mu Xinyuan and Jiu Miaozi were just looking at the relationship between the old and the young in the water mirror with ease and smiles. But at this moment, without any preconditions or warning, it seemed that
A huge boulder suddenly fell from the sky.
It hit the two of them heavily.
What it brings is not only earth shaking, but also thrilling.
"The great road has feelings... and also... ruthlessness."
Kumataeko murmured and repeated this sentence with some difficulty, and her toes tightened.
It's still the same truth. It's not that the sentence itself is profound, but that it's too surprising to say it in the mouth of a junior who is only in the Enlightenment state.
And that accident combined with something about the road suddenly became a shock.
The kind of shock that makes your heart palpitate.
