Chapter 790 - 7: Celestial Destiny Sect

The captain of the Golden Scale Guard said the same thing, it seems once you come in, you can't leave.

"Why?" Li Xin asked curiously.

"Not sure, anyway, that's the rule. Actually, apart from this, this place is much better than the outside world," Zhang Yuncai smiled cheerfully, though his eyes showed a hint of regret.

"Brother Zhang, you're an Awakened, right? Why are you doing this job?" Li Xin asked with curiosity, thinking that Awakened should easily find a decent job.

Zhang Yuncai smiled bitterly, "Awakened are everywhere here. The Divine Land is a peculiar place, even if ordinary people come here, they will become healthy and strong; after living for a while, there's a chance of becoming Awakened. But it's useless; my Spirit Root is too weak. I initially stayed at a Sect for a while but was quickly eliminated. At the time, I was unconvinced and worked hard for a while, but here I am,"

Li Xin could also feel that the Divine Land is different from the outside world, with a high abundance of Spiritual Energy, somewhat magical. He's been to many places, but none are like the Divine Land.

"Little brother, are you an Awakened? Do you have a Sect, and what's your Spirit Root?" Zhang Yuncai asked.

"Brother Zhang, the Golden Scale Guard said I was saved by the Sect Master of Martial Heart Sect, so I have to report to Martial Heart Sect later. What is a Spirit Root?"

"Haha, it's Martial Heart Sect then, no wonder. It's a very righteous Sect with a long history," Zhang Yuncai said with admiration.

"What's a Spirit Root, and how is it tested?"

"Hehe, confused, huh? There's no such concept outside, but it's actually simple. Outside, some people awaken special abilities related to fire or wind, and that's a Spirit Root. Here, there's a detailed and systematic method; the Divine Land can test an Awakened's Spirit Root and nurture it to the utmost. Wind, thunder, fire, ice, wood, earth, gold, water—among them, wind, thunder, fire, ice, and water lean towards combat professions, while water, wood, earth, and gold can be used for alchemy, creating spiritual weapons, and secret items. We have very detailed divisions here."

"Alchemy?" Li Xin had never heard of it outside, "There seem to be only Alchemists outside."

"Yes, because the Spiritual Energy outside is too low, alchemy can't be done. Over time, it's become extinct. Magic Potions are nothing compared to our Spirit Pills. The Life Master path is possible, we in Li Long have Life Masters; in fact, it's passed down from the Divine Land. Some secret paths only survive here."

Old Zhang was quite talkative and provided Li Xin with a lot of information. In the Divine Land, the only Celestial Level Sect is the Celestial Destiny Sect, which also holds the power to let people leave. The Life Master path is also theirs; Old Fang and the former chief are Life Masters... Is there some other connection here?

For a moment, Li Xin thought a lot, connecting some pieces together. Old Fang, next time I take your stuff I would be a fool... but thinking about it, each time it saves my life, it's practically an irresistible cycle, the Life Master path is somewhat sinister.

"Haha, little brother, don't feel pressured. If things don't work out, come back and find me. We'll do a small business together. Let's just say even outside geniuses aren't all that here; the major sects have researched Spiritual Energy usage to the utmost extreme, it's quite ruthless," Zhang Yuncai seemed to see his younger self in Li Xin.

"Are there many powerful people here? How many above Angels? Is the State Lord a Divine Being?"

"Haha, little brother, you still don't get it. The Divine Land is one of the legendary Five Great Secret Sanctuaries, the Peak Pool. It has independent secret laws, and anyone who sets foot in the Divine Land will have their power suppressed below the level of Angel, including secret items and Divine Relics," Old Zhang scratched his chin; after being in the Divine Land for so long, he finally got to show off in front of his fellow countryman.

Li Xin paused, no wonder the dice were in a strange state, and the power rampant in his body from the creator and Bloodthirsty Monarch when he was injured vanished significantly; it might all be due to the laws of this world erasing them, allowing the Guiyuan Pill's effects to work, otherwise it wouldn't have been enough to save him.

Even such powerful forces can be erased; these secret laws are indeed formidable.

"Brother, I have a question. If one reaches the Four Lives here, isn't there no advancement possible? What's the point?"

"Not at all! Once reaching the Fourth Grade, Spiritual Ability accumulates and compresses into Core Formation, called Golden Core. If conditions are met to become a disciple of Celestial Destiny Sect, when going out, you'll quickly break through, and be much stronger than the outside Five Lives. The accumulation during the Fourth Grade will transform into an extraordinary understanding of power, and in the Divine Land, you don't need Divine Relics, even if there are any, they can be refined," Zhang Yuncai said longingly.

Core Formation? Refining?

Seeing Li Xin shocked and pondering, Zhang Yuncai felt gratified; it's been a long time since he felt this good, "Little brother, you think the Five Great Sanctuaries are just talk? Each shook the world in one era, ruling an age; our Divine Land possesses the power of Ancient Dragons, quite noble."

"Descendants of the Ancient Dragon Race?"

"Of course, Beijing people are the descendants of the Ancient Dragon, Divine Land came here during the catastrophe. We share the same origin, which is why our relationship with Li Long is so close."

"So people here change between male and female?" Li Xin glanced at the people coming and going on the streets, his gaze changed, how chaotic would that be?

"Ah, what male and female changes? A man is a man, a woman is a woman, there are no eunuchs or any craziness here. Once you join Martial Heart Sect, speak less, watch and listen more. Speaking recklessly can lead to trouble. Martial Heart Sect's rules are said to be kind, but some sects have strict regulations, even xenophobic. We outsiders need to be discreet; the priority is to integrate," Zhang Yuncai remarked, "Like me, outside I could be a captain in a Knight Order in some small place; here, I sell noodles."

"Are there many outsiders?"

"Yes, apart from those like us who accidentally come in, Li Long sends quite a few people every few years, mostly talented young people and children who are assigned to various sects. Those with good talent go to major sects; those with lesser talent go to smaller sects," Zhang Yuncai explained. "They are different from us, having much better opportunities. Generally, they have a one to two-year observation period, while we at most get three months. If we don't fit, we'd be expelled from the sect. Sigh, there are classes everywhere." Zhang Yuncai evidently regretted not staying in a sect, his emotions pouring out after seeing Li Xin.

This State Lord is not simple, no wonder the Divine Land is so prosperous.

"Once reaching Four Lives, only Celestial Destiny Sect has means to advance? Are there no exceptions for talented individuals?"

"Actually... I'm not very clear either. The secret laws of the Divine Land are extremely powerful; the best path is through Celestial Destiny Sect. The State Lord is in Xuanwu City, and only disciples of Celestial Destiny Sect can enter Xuanwu City. Anyone becoming a disciple of Celestial Destiny Sect can move around freely in the Divine Land, receives methods to advance, and can leave the Divine Land to undertake missions."
