Hearing Xuan Yi's words, Jian Wushuang's, Feng's, and the other four's eyes lit up.
They had stayed in Enlightenment Mountain for a month, and they were very clear on how useful Enlightenment Mountain was to them.
In particular, Jian Wushuang had made great progress during his one month in Enlightenment Mountain. However, Enlightenment Mountain in the Ancient Sect was even better than Enlightenment Mountain in the Firmament Territory Feast. His speed of comprehending the Dao was twice as fast as before!
"It's too early to be happy."
Seeing Jian Wushuang and the other four's surprised faces, Xuan Yi smiled faintly and said, "Enlightenment Mountain is more effective, but it can't accommodate too many people at the same time. Therefore, in Gumen, only inner disciples are qualified to cultivate in Enlightenment Mountain."
"Only inner disciples are qualified?" Bing Shan, Xuan Ying, and Wu Huang felt bitter.
The three of them had only obtained outer disciple spots. In other words, there was no place for the three of them in Enlightenment Mountain.
Only Jian Wushuang, Feng, and Huo Ying could cultivate in Enlightenment Mountain.
"Jian Wushuang, Feng, Huo Ying." Xuan Ying looked at Jian Wushuang and the other two. "You're all inner disciples, so you can cultivate in Enlightenment Mountain. There are 36 cave mansions on Enlightenment Mountain, 33 of which already have owners. You can search for the remaining three cave mansions."
"Yes." Feng and Huo Ying nodded immediately.
"There are only 36 cave mansions on Enlightenment Mountain?" Jian Wushuang frowned and asked, "Master Xuan Yi, you said that inner disciples can cultivate in Enlightenment Mountain, but there are only 36 cave mansions. Are there only 36 inner disciples in Gumen?"
"You're already a disciple of Gumen, so you don't have to call me Master Xuan Yi. Just call me Palace Master Xuan Yi. That's what all the disciples in Gumen call me." Xuan Yi continued, "You're right. There are only 36 inner disciples in Gumen. That's the maximum. No matter what, there will never be more than 36 inner disciples in Gumen."
"Why is that?" Jian Wushuang was puzzled.
Even the sects with a strong foundation in the Ancient World often had tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of disciples.
Gumen was second only to the Three Magnates in the Firmament Territory. Such a top sect must have many disciples. 36 inner disciples was obviously too few.
"There are two reasons why Gumen doesn't have more than 36 disciples. First, Enlightenment Mountain can only accommodate 36 people at a time. Second, it's to strengthen the competition among the inner disciples." Xuan Yi explained patiently.
"In Gumen, it's the same whether you're an inner disciple or an outer disciple. You have to fight for all the cultivation resources by yourself."
"Every ten years, Gumen will hold a competition among the disciples. In each competition, the weaker inner disciples will be replaced by the stronger outer disciples."
"After all, although there are 36 inner disciples in Gumen, there are many outer disciples. Some of them are real geniuses. Some were even inner disciples before. Their strength can't be underestimated."
"In each Sect Competition, the weakest inner disciples will be challenged by the outer disciples. In the end, there aren't many inner disciples who can keep their positions."
"Is that so?" Jian Wushuang and the other five all understood.
Every ten years, there would be a Sect Competition. The outer disciples and inner disciples' positions would be determined by their strength. This indeed strengthened the competition between the outer disciples and inner disciples.
As long as an outer disciple improved quickly and was strong enough, he could become an inner disciple.
Similarly, if an inner disciple was overtaken, he would be demoted to an outer disciple.
"The last Sect Competition took place eight years ago. In other words, in two years, there will be another Sect Competition. Jian Wushuang, Feng, Huo Ying, the three of you have just joined Gumen. In terms of strength, you're the weakest among the inner disciples. Even among the outer disciples, there are many who are stronger than you. Therefore, you have to work hard in these two years and strive to keep your positions as inner disciples in the Sect Competition in two years," Xuan Yi said with a faint smile.
Hearing this, Jian Wushuang, Feng, and Huo Ying all felt a little pressure.
In two years, the Sect Competition would begin. The three of them had just joined Gumen and were at the bottom of the ladder. Their positions as inner disciples were indeed in danger.
"But you don't have to worry too much. First of all, you've just joined Gumen. In these two years, with the various resources provided by Gumen, you'll definitely make great progress. Moreover, even if you really become outer disciples in two years, you can still fight for your positions in the next Sect Competition. The Sect Competition is held once every ten years. Ten years will pass very quickly," Xuan Yi said with a smile.
Xuan Yi said it casually, but Jian Wushuang and the other two still didn't dare to be careless.
"Alright, next, I'll tell you about the three palaces in Gumen," Xuan Yi continued.
"The three palaces are the Doctrine Palace, the Sword Palace, and the Divine Palace!"
"The Doctrine Palace is a place for the study of Dao. There are 13 Palace Masters in the Doctrine Palace. These Palace Masters are all Eternal Realm experts who have comprehended a Dao to an extremely high level. In addition, there are many Vice Palace Masters. These Vice Palace Masters are all superior Divine Realm experts, and their comprehension of Dao is also not low."
"These Palace Masters and Vice Palace Masters gather in the Doctrine Palace all year round. They have left behind their own comprehension of Dao, as well as many Opportunities. These Opportunities are available to all disciples of Gumen. You can also often go to the Doctrine Palace to listen to the lectures of these Palace Masters and Vice Palace Masters. You can even choose to be a disciple of some of the Palace Masters and Vice Palace Masters."
"Under normal circumstances, as long as you are an Ancient Sect disciple, you will be apprenticed to a Palace Master or a Vice Palace Master. Some of you will be apprenticed to two or three experts at the same time. These Palace Masters and Vice Palace Masters will guide you and help you apply for the Natural Treasures you need during your cultivation."
Jian Wushuang and the others were enlightened.
Almost all disciples of Gumen would be a disciple of a Palace Master or Vice Palace Master?
