Lei Xingfeng looked curiously at the Great Three Sects. This was already the core area of the Great Three Sects. The place where they appeared was a very large square. When Xin Zhelu, Ning 'e, and Aba appeared, the surrounding cultivators immediately bowed respectfully. It could be seen that these four people had a very high status in the Great Three Sects.
These middle and low level disciples looked curiously at Wu Yang and the other three. Because their cultivation levels were relatively low, no one could really perceive the cultivation levels of these four people. The only feeling they had was that these four people seemed very relaxed when they were with their own sect's higher-ups. The smarter disciples immediately knew that these four people's strength was estimated to be very high.
There were many buildings around. They were different from the ones in Lei Xingfeng's memories of his previous life and his hometown in this life. The only similarity was that the buildings were all made of bricks and wood. A large amount of wood was used, so there were many wooden houses. Because of the sparse population, there were many empty spaces around each building. A large number of trees and flowers were planted around each building. It looked very beautiful.
There were many small wooden houses and some exquisite brick buildings. There were also many people around. Many of them were half-grown children. They were very curious as they followed Xin Zhelu and the others. From time to time, they would let out bursts of laughter.
This gave Lei Xingfeng a very good feeling. It was a peaceful and warm feeling. Moreover, most people had smiles on their faces. Lei Xingfeng thought that the atmosphere here was very good. This also proved one thing. This was not an extreme sect. It was the same as his own secret sect. They were all normal cultivators. He felt a little bit of approval towards the Great Three Sects.
Wu Yang and the others were also quite satisfied. They did not expect this sect to be so good. This kind of atmosphere could not be deliberately created. It was naturally presented.
Xin Zhelu waved his hand and called a few nearby cultivators. He then gave a few instructions. Those cultivators looked at Wu Yang and the others and immediately ran out.
In a short moment, a large number of cultivators appeared. This was probably the welcoming ceremony of the Great Three Sects. Lei Xingfeng maintained his smile, but he was muttering in his heart.
Exiting the square, they walked along a wide road.
An even bigger square appeared. After passing through this square, a small pond appeared. There were small rivers on both sides, dividing the front and back. A small curved bridge was placed across the pond, and there were many fish swimming in the pond. Among them, there was no lack of colorful and oddly shaped fish.
Ning 'e Aba explained, "The place we passed by just now is the residential area. If we cross the bridge now, we will reach the residential area of the Great Three Gates. After passing through the residential area, we will reach the meeting hall."
This meeting hall was not made of bricks and wood, but of rocks and restrictions. It was very grand and solemn. There were four cultivators at the door. They were all Ninth Ring Sages. There were also two people sitting. Lei Xingfeng could tell at a glance that they were early-stage Perfected Monarchs. This place was probably very important, so there were two Perfected Monarchs on duty.
Xin Zhelu walked up the steps, and the cultivator guarding the door immediately saluted, "Greetings to Great Elder, Elder."
Wu Yang followed closely behind. The cultivators guarding the door had probably already notified them, so they did not stop the four of them.
Following Xin Zhelu, the eight of them entered the meeting hall. This was a very wide hall. According to Lei Xingfeng's estimation, it was more than 400 square meters. It was supported by eight huge wooden pillars that were more than 10 meters tall. The roof was slightly slanted in all directions. It was a pointed roof. The ground was made of neat rocks that were polished smooth and shiny. Even some of the joints could not be seen. If it were not for the different patterns on the rocks, one would think that the ground was polished flat.
There was a huge round table with a circle of chairs around it.
Lei Xingfeng suddenly remembered the arrangement of the round table meeting in his previous life. This was a kind of equal arrangement of seats. He did not expect it to be the same here.
There were already many people sitting around the round table. The Great Three Sects did not have a Sect Master, but was led by the Elders Guild. There were more than 50 people in the Elders Guild here, and all of them were Heaven Monarchs. In the Great Three Sects, Monarchs could only serve as supervisors at various levels and do various kinds of administrative work. Once one advanced to Heaven Monarch, he would become an Elder of the Great Three Sects and enter the circle of collective leadership. The Great Elder, Xin Zhelu, had an extraordinary status.
This was a little different from the organizational structure of the Secret Sects. The Secret Sects were basically established in a master-disciple system. However, after the Sky Bridge, this system had begun to crumble. This was because once the continents in outer space were suitable for cultivation, many of the original disciples began to advance rapidly. In some cases, like Wu Yang's Secret Sects, the disciples' cultivation had even surpassed the master's.
On the contrary, this kind of local organizational structure was more suitable for cultivator sects.
Xin Zhelu's status was revered, and his words had an extremely important weight in the Elders Guild. Generally speaking, he would not interfere in the Elders Guild's operations. However, if he wanted to interfere, the Elders Guild would treat it very seriously.
Xin Zhelu first introduced Wu Yang and the others, and then announced that they would become Guest Elders of the Great Three Sects. He especially emphasized on Wu Yang, who was a Dao Monarch Patriarch. There was only one Dao Monarch Patriarch in the entire Great Three Sects. Now that another one had joined, it was a big deal for the entire Great Three Sects. Especially since Wu Yang and the others were outsiders, it was even more eye-catching.
Of course, Wu Yang and the others could not join the Elders Guild. After all, they were only Guest Elders. Although their status was high, they did not have the authority of the Elders of the Great Three Sects. They had the benefits of being Elders of the Great Three Sects, but they did not have the authority. Wu Yang and the others did not mind. If they were allowed to join the Elders Guild, they would probably feel uncomfortable.
The Elders of the Elders Guild expressed their welcome, especially to Wu Yang, showing their respect. This was respect for the strong, and there was no other meaning.
In fact, Wu Yang and the others were also quite surprised. They did not expect that the Great Three Sects would have so many Heaven Monarch Realm experts. They originally thought that their Secret Sect was already very strong, but they did not expect that a medium-sized local sect would be so strong. Even if these Elders were not as strong as them, when they attacked together, they were all cultivators of the same level. It might not matter if a few of them attacked, but if there were dozens of them, how could they fight?
As for the rights and obligations, Xin Zhelu explained. He also explained the overall structure of the Great Three Sects so that the four of them had enough understanding. After the meeting with the Elders Guild, he called for the management of the Great Three Sects. The entire management was made up of True Monarchs. Of course, there were many cultivators in the sect. Although they were True Monarchs, they were not appointed to the management. According to Xin Zhelu's explanation, Wu Yang and the others found out that there were hundreds of True Monarchs in the Great Three Sects.
The number of True Monarchs and Heaven Monarchs shocked Wu Yang and the others. Lei Xingfeng had doubts in his heart. In the end, he could not help but ask, "Grand Elder, there are so many Heaven Monarchs. How many of them have advanced to the Dao Monarch Realm?"
Xin Zhelu could not help but laugh. He said, "I know that you are confused. Once you advance to the Dao Monarch Realm, the Cloud Sect will send people to ask if you are willing to join the Elders Guild of the Cloud Sect. If it were you, would you stay? It's better to go to the Cloud Sect. There are higher level cultivation techniques and more abundant cultivation resources there. "
Wu Yang said, "But didn't you stay?"
Xin Zhelu said, "I was sent back. This is a task that I must complete in the Cloud Sect. However, I advanced to the Dao Monarch Realm from the Great Three Gates. Therefore, I am willing to come back and guard the Great Three Gates. I have too many friends and companions here."
Wu Yang and the others were speechless. They were secretly shocked. The control of the large sects was very strong. Once a medium-sized sect produced a large number of Dao Monarch Realm Patriarchs, it would definitely threaten the status of the large sects. This move was equivalent to taking the firewood from under the cauldron. It directly extinguished the hope of the medium-sized sects. The medium-sized sects were the training grounds of the large sects. It was impossible for them to threaten the status of the large sects.
In addition to the meeting, Xin Zhelu also organized a large-scale banquet. Lei Xingfeng was a little interested in this. As a former foodie, he really wanted to taste the local food.
Because he had been busy for the past few years with all kinds of complicated things, he rarely focused on eating. Therefore, he often missed the past. At that time, he was the best foodie. Now, he didn't live up to his name.
The Great Three Gates specially arranged residences for the four guest elders. Each of them had a courtyard and a small building.
This was a small two-story wooden building. The first floor was the living room, and the second floor was the bedrooms. It was very simple, but the construction was very exquisite. The wood used to build the wooden building was the precious Dafan Wood. It was innately fragrant, and the small building had the effect of calming one's mind.
Lei Xingfeng had seen Dafan Wood in the ancient records. It was a very precious and rare tree. In any case, Lei Xingfeng had never seen it before. This wood was used to make bracelets. Its use was to aid in cultivation. But here, it was used to build a house.
The furnishings in the room were also quite exquisite. There were beds, tables, chairs, and all kinds of vases and flowers. Lei Xingfeng was very satisfied. It had an exotic flavor. On the second floor, there was a small platform with a hanging chair. If there was nothing to do, one could sit and bask in the sun.
Thunderstorm, Gao Ye, and Lei Xingfeng's residences were the same, but Wu Yang's was completely different. He was arranged to live in a small manor with three small buildings and a small garden. This was the treatment that only the Great Elders had. There were only two Great Elders in the entire Great Three Gates. Although Wu Yang's Great Elder position wasn't worth much, his treatment was the same as Xin Zhelu's.
After being busy for three whole days, Wu Yang and the others finally had some peace and quiet.
On this day, Wu Yang, Lei Xingfeng, Gao Ye, and Thunderstorm all gathered in Wu Yang's small manor.
Wu Yang smiled and said, "We can be considered to have temporarily integrated into this sect. A Feng, everyone, tell us what we should do. If we continue to live here, that won't do. We don't have much time to waste here."
