The concept of dark cultivation forces had actually only been put forward in the last few decades, and formed a clear dividing line with the light forces, which had clear qualifications to run schools. The light forces included both official and private cultivation schools, as well as various rogue cultivator sects which secular itinerant cultivators could freely choose from.
To put it simply, the dark forces were blacklisted organizations which didn't have their qualifications recognized by the state, and which gathered rogue cultivators illegally to run schools for profit. It was like those black-hearted spicy strips workshops on the market that didn't have a food supervision certificate.
Old Antique explained this historical concept from the dais. "In everyone's eyes, the dark forces are a place where a bunch of vicious people gather … but you can't generalize. There are good and evil dark forces as well. There are even some hundred-year-old sects which were blacklisted because their sect elders were in seclusion and couldn't apply for qualification certification in time. In recent years, a lot of dark cultivation forces have obtained qualification certification through formal channels … "
Everyone immediately understood. To put it bluntly, this was the difference between getting a certificate and not getting one …
After all, the Spirit Energy Information era was no longer the era when hundreds of schools of thought contended and immortals fought each other. Everything was governed by laws and regulations; if you wanted to survive in the modern cultivation world, you had to abide by the rules.
Wang Ling deeply agreed with this point.
The reason why he had decided to wipe out Immortal Mansion was because it didn't abide by the rules. Not only did it disturb his life, the most important thing was that it also seriously affected his studies!
In this day and age, can you still let people do their homework in peace?
But as Old Antique had said, the dark forces weren't a gathering place for crafty villains. There were some dark forces whose sect elders were in seclusion all year round. If they couldn't get a certificate right away, they would be directly blacklisted …
Reliance High School was an example of what he was seeing.
Everyone knew that the headmaster of Reliance High School, Patriarch Reliance, was a seclusion maniac. If it hadn't been for several elders of Reliance High School personally dragging this old sect leader out of seclusion back then to get a certificate, the school would have been directly demolished.
Speaking up to this point, Old Antique's eyes flashed slightly. "Based on Teacher Ji Zhongkui's previous research papers, I'm guessing that he'll definitely write about the history of the dark forces. This teacher doesn't like to test people on concepts, but just in case, I'll put together a chronology of all the famous dark forces in history for everyone to remember."
"Teacher, what are the famous dark forces in history?" Someone couldn't help but stand up and raise his hand to ask.
"I was just about to say it. Don't worry."
Old Antique waved his hand and motioned for the man to sit down. "Next, I'll tell you about some of the most famous dark forces in history, which are likely to be Teacher Ji Chongkui's test site this time."
Hearing this, all the students in the class took out their notebooks.
Seeing that Wang Ling wasn't moving, Dopey Guo hurriedly nudged him. "What are you spacing out for, hurry up and write it down!"
Wang Ling: "…" For knowledge like this, as long as he had the heart to remember it, he would be able to remember it after listening to it once, so he didn't need a notebook at all.
Of course, Master of Dopey's reminder was out of the goodness of his heart. Wang Ling swept his gaze over the class and realized that most of them had taken out their notebooks, so he could only take out his own and make a few symbolic notes. Otherwise, he would really look a little weird.
Wang Ling sighed in his heart: nowadays, it was hard to be a man, to be a top student, to be a top student who did everything possible to get the average grades in class!
So sometimes, when he saw some people in class who slept and played games all day and were good at studying … maybe they really weren't studying behind the scenes, but purely because of their IQ, they had probably already occupied the high ground.
…
…
Old Antique was the best at predicting test questions, and everyone in class had always firmly believed in this. He was a living human predictor … a few years ago, because Old Antique's predictions had been too accurate, the district education commission had inspected his work for half a year, suspecting that he had leaked test questions in the course of his teaching.
However, as the number one history teacher at No. 60 High School, the education commission hadn't been able to find anything in the end in the face of hard power.
With his hands clasped behind his back, Old Antique saw that everyone had taken out their notebooks, then cleared his throat and said, "After all, the famous dark forces in history should start with the Flying Talisman Gang. Back then, when this dark force first started, there was only one person, and he started by peddling fake talismans. He specifically picked relatives and friends to develop as agents and underlings. After selling a hundred Flying Talismans, he could be promoted to a bronze agent, a thousand to a silver agent, and ten thousand to a gold agent … later on, the gang grew to more than a million people. "
"… And then?"
"Later, all the members of the gang were caught within three days. Because the talismans they sold were all fake, and they weren't particularly strong themselves, it didn't take much effort to clean them up. Then, the Flying Talisman Gang was labeled as the Waste Talisman Gang, "said Old Antique.
Everyone: "…"
"In terms of the scale of development, the Flying Talisman Gang has the largest number of members in the history of the dark forces. In terms of hard power, Immortal Mansion should currently be number one. But before Immortal Mansion appeared, there was another major dark force that had to attract attention … I wonder if any of you have heard of Qiongchi Sect? "
When he said this, Old Antique's expression abruptly changed subtly, but it only took a split second for him to return to normal. Wang Ling took in this scene.
"This is a sect formed by a group of top gluttons. Anyone who joins the gang has to eat fifty jin of food in one go to pass."
Everyone: "…"
Old Antique said unhurriedly, "Back then, when Qiongchi Sect was at its peak, its disciples spontaneously formed groups to develop local forces and look for local delicacies. They traveled all over the country to hunt spirit beasts and eat wild game. This directly led to the extinction of seventeen kinds of spirit beasts … "
"Holy shit! Seventeen kinds of spirit beasts were eaten alive? "There were cries of surprise in the class.
"…" Even Wang Ling had an incredulous expression on his face.
To be honest, the history of most of these dark forces was actually rather dark, and they actually weren't in the textbooks.
If Old Antique hadn't mentioned it, Wang Ling wouldn't have known about such a strange thing …
Now that he thought about it carefully, it was no wonder that silver unicorns hated humans to the bone … if they ran into a dark force like Qiongchi Sect, just the thought of it was a pain in the ass.
Since they were talking about Qiongchi Sect, Old Antique naturally had to mention the sect leader, which was also something that Teacher Ji Chongkui might want to test on.
