Along the way, Tang Wuyan patiently introduced Duan Lingtian to him.
Furthermore, other than the introductions, she did not talk about anything else with Duan Lingtian. Duan Lingtian could feel that Tang Wuyan was not interested in him. It was probably because of Elder Tang Chun's instructions.
He heaved a sigh of relief and accepted Tang Wuyan's guidance.
"It's just a small matter. You don't have to take it to heart."
Tang Wuyan smiled faintly but did not reach out to take Duan Lingtian's Soul Orb. It was as if she had no intention of contacting Duan Lingtian again.
"Keep it … You never know when you will come to me for help."
Duan Lingtian smiled. He did not like to owe people favors.
Although this journey was a piece of cake for Tang Wuyan, Duan Lingtian knew that most people would not trouble Tang Wuyan to personally lead the way.
Along the way, he could clearly feel the pride in Tang Wuyan's bones.
She was one of the most prideful women he had ever met in his two lifetimes.
Of course, he knew that Tang Wuyan was leading the way mostly because Elder Tang Chun wanted to matchmake them. However, he was not the only one who did not cooperate. Even Tang Wuyan, Tang Chun's grandniece, did not cooperate.
"Alright."
In the end, Tang Wuyan accepted Duan Lingtian's protection. However, it seemed that she had no choice but to do so.
Duan Lingtian could not help but smile bitterly to himself. It was rare for him to personally give away his Soul Orb, but he was almost rejected?
"Then I'll leave first."
Before Tang Wuyan left, she said to Duan Ling Tian, "Quickly look through the memory jade slip that contains the inner sect disciple's handbook that you obtained at the place where you went through the formalities earlier. That will help you avoid unnecessary mistakes."
"Okay."
Duan Ling Tian nodded in response before he watched Tang Wuyan leave. Only then did he turn around and descend to the hill where the inner sect disciples cultivated. After that, he found a stone house that was filled with cobwebs and chose it as his place to cultivate.
Whoosh!!
Whoosh!!
…
Duan Lingtian casually waved his hand, and with the help of his divine power, a gust of wind raged. Immediately, the stone house that was originally covered in cobwebs was swept clean. Even the most stubborn of dust could not stop the wind caused by his divine power.
After sweeping the stone house, he entered the stone house. At the same time, he took out a square disk array that he had just received from the place where he had gone through the formalities.
This disk array was something that every Inner Sect disciple could receive. It was used to place in one's own training area. Not only could it prevent others from disturbing one's training, it could also protect oneself.
The array formation set up by this array disc could only be broken by existences above the Godking level.
Even if it was broken, it would alert the Inner Sect Elders who were in charge of the inner sect disciples' cultivation grounds. Once the Inner Sect Elders were alerted, they would immediately rush to the location where the array disc was broken.
"Inner Sect Disciple's Handbook."
After sitting down on the stone bed, Duan Lingtian took out the memory jade slip that he had just received. He extended his divine sense and fused it with the jade slip. Immediately, a large amount of information flooded his mind.
As for him, he carefully and earnestly read through it.
This Inner Sect Disciple's Handbook mainly introduced some very basic things. For instance, the rules of the Hidden Fog Sect as well as some rules of the inner sect. Once one violated these rules, they would be punished.
These were like the laws of Duan Lingtian's previous world.
However, these laws only applied to the land of a country. As for the Hidden Fog Sect's rules, they only applied to the Hidden Fog Sect disciples and Elders.
There were many things recorded in the Inner Sect Disciple's Handbook. Duan Lingtian spent several hours reading through it. At the same time, he gained a deeper understanding of the Hidden Fog Sect.
"The Hidden Fog Sect is only a Divine Emperor level sect, yet they are so rich and overbearing … an inner sect disciple can receive 10 divine stones every month, and there is no threshold."
"In addition, those who don't receive it this month can accumulate it until next month."
Duan Lingtian couldn't help but sigh.
Although he had more than a hundred thousand divine stones in his hands and didn't care about 10 divine stones a month, when he thought of the number of inner sect disciples in the Hidden Fog Academy, he couldn't help but feel his scalp tingle.
In a month, the Hidden Fog Academy gave out tens of thousands of divine stones to the inner sect disciples.
Just one month.
Moreover, this didn't include the core disciples, outer sect disciples, inner sect elders, protectors, grand elders, and so on.
"However, the cultivation environment here is indeed better than the Hidden Fog Academy's … In addition, every half a year, the inner sect disciples have a 'Celestial Stairway Struggle'. It is targeted at God Spirit level inner sect disciples and God King level inner sect disciples."
"Those who rank at the top will receive generous rewards."
"Moreover, the rewards are very practical for the participants. They can choose from many things … or ask for something of equal value."
After carefully reading through the Hidden Fog Sect's semi-annual 'Celestial Stairway Struggle' for the inner sect disciples, Duan Lingtian's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Now, there is still half a year before the Hidden Fog Academy's core disciple assessment … Before that, I should still be able to participate in the Celestial Stairway Struggle."
Thinking of this, Duan Lingtian impatiently left the stone house and walked out.
Then, he saw a figure flying out of a wooden house in the distance. He immediately went up and blocked the other party's path.
"What's the matter?"
His eyes flashed with a wisp of vigilance as he looked at Duan Ling Tian.
"Hello."
Duan Lingtian knew it was wrong to block the other party's path, so he was a little embarrassed. "I just wanted to ask you … when is the next Celestial Stairway Struggle?"
"Celestial Stairway Struggle?"
Now, the person who was blocked by Duan Ling Tian was a young man with a medium build. When he heard what Duan Ling Tian said, he frowned. "You're a new inner sect disciple that just entered the inner sect?"
In his opinion, even if he didn't know the inner sect disciples, he would at least have an impression of them.
However, he didn't have any impression of the person in front of him.
Of course, he couldn't be sure that the other party was a new inner sect disciple just based on this … He only thought so because Duan Lingtian asked about the time of the Celestial Stairway Struggle.
"Yes."
Duan Lingtian nodded.
"The next Celestial Stairway Struggle will be in four months."
The young man frowned impatiently. "Now, I've told you what you wanted to know. Can you move aside and stop blocking my path?"
"Sorry."
After all, he was in the wrong. Facing the other party's impatience, Duan Lingtian repeatedly apologized and moved aside. However, his mind had already completely shifted to the Celestial Stairway Struggle in four months.
"There are still four months … In these four months, I have to strive to become a higher god."
"If I can become a higher god, even if I snatch first place in the Celestial Stairway Struggle, I won't attract too much attention."
Although Duan Lingtian was confident that he could seize first place in the Celestial Stairway Struggle with his middle god cultivation, he still felt that it would be too high profile. At that time, even the Hidden Fog Sect's Sect Master might be alarmed by him.
In contrast, he would also attract jealousy and suspicion, leading to some unnecessary troubles.
There might even be people who would try to kill him.
After all, although a sect like the Hidden Fog Sect was rich in cultivation resources, there was still a limit. If he took a share of the spoils, there would definitely be people who wouldn't be happy about it.
He wasn't afraid of other inner sect disciples.
But, what if it was the elders behind them?
On the surface, the elders behind them wouldn't dare to do anything to him, but what about behind their backs?
"If it's possible … it seems that I have to find a backer in the Hidden Fog Sect. It's impossible to take them as my master. After all, I already have a master. It's impossible for me to take a second master. "
Thinking of this, Duan Lingtian couldn't help but have a headache.
"Forget it. I'll take it one step at a time …"
Duan Lingtian returned to the stone house and began to cultivate. He cultivated until someone disturbed him.
"Mm?"
Although this person didn't forcefully attack the array disc, it still woke him up from his cultivation. For a time, Duan Lingtian also awoke from his cultivation and walked out of the stone house.
Outside the stone house, two figures stood side by side. One was a middle-aged man and the other was a young man.
The middle-aged man wore a blue robe and had a handsome face. But, there was a dark haze between his eyebrows, giving off a gloomy feeling.
The young man wore a blue robe and had an ordinary appearance. At first glance, he even seemed a bit dull. But, his eyes were bright and spirited, like a torch.
"Are you looking for me?"
Duan Lingtian looked at the two complete strangers in front of him and asked with a frown.
"Are you new here?"
The middle-aged man looked at Duan Lingtian and asked.
"Is there something you need?"
Duan Lingtian asked back.
"This stone house is where my big brother cultivates. After a while, he will return … since you don't know anything, I won't bicker with you. You can move out."
The middle-aged man lightly said.
"Your big brother's cultivation place?"
If he had just arrived and hadn't flipped through the 'Inner Sect Disciple Handbook', Duan Lingtian might have felt apologetic and moved out of the stone house. But now, he didn't plan on leaving.
This was because the 'Inner Sect Disciple Handbook' clearly stated one point:
Within the inner sect disciple's cultivation place, as long as it is covered with cobwebs, anyone can use it. There is no such thing as seizing another's place.
"That's right."
The middle-aged man nodded. Then, he impatiently said, "This stone house was built by my big brother himself. You're new here, so you should hurry up and move out."
"Why should I?"
Duan Lingtian looked deeply at the middle-aged man and asked again.
Since the other party was an inner sect disciple of the Hidden Fog Sect, it was impossible for him to not know the rules of the Hidden Fog Sect. But now, he actually disregarded the rules and acted recklessly.
Moreover, he hadn't been here for long and the other party had already come looking for trouble.
He had a feeling that things weren't as simple as they seemed.
"What? You don't want to move? "
The middle-aged man's expression turned cold and a cold light flashed in his eyes. "You are just a puny intermediate God. Do you want to compete with a higher God like me?"
At this time, the seemingly dull youth beside the middle-aged man looked at Duan Lingtian with a mocking expression. The corners of his mouth curled up in a mocking smile.
"Compete?"
Duan Lingtian looked at the middle-aged man without a change in expression. He asked again, "Are you sure?"
