Qin Di passed the test. Overjoyed, he asked, "Martial Uncle, when Master accepted me into the sect, he told me to be a hidden disciple, but he didn't tell me what a hidden disciple is."
Duan Yu gave him a True Disciple identity token and made a special hidden mark on the token. Then, she explained, "Hidden Disciples are selected from the True Disciples. There are fifty to sixty true disciples in the sect, but no more than five hidden disciples. Every Grand Supreme Elder can accept ten true disciples, but only one hidden disciple. "
"A situation like yours is very rare. Usually, when a Grand Supreme Elder selects a hidden disciple, he usually selects from the elite disciples or true disciples of the headquarters. Unlike you, who was selected as a true disciple before you even came to the headquarters of Xianwen Sect. This is also because Senior Brother Zhong has unique attainments in the Immortal Text, so he has this kind of authority. "
"If you don't say that you are Senior Martial Brother Zhong's disciple, you can only start as an outer disciple. You can only become an official disciple after three thousand years. After another ten thousand years, you can become an elite disciple. Then, depending on your luck, you can only become a true disciple after a hundred thousand years. "
"The treatment of disciples of each level is different. This not only involves the sect's offerings, but also the strength of the teachers. A true disciple must master more than twenty thousand immortal characters, be qualified to participate in the advanced training class, and be able to borrow jade slips that ordinary people can't borrow from the library. As a hidden disciple, you have even more authority. I won't explain it to you in detail. When you use the identity token, it will be automatically unlocked. "
"From the outside, your identity token looks like an ordinary true disciple's. Ordinary inner elders won't understand the difference even if they see the token. Only at the critical moment will it show the difference. I've been in charge of the Disciple Hall for many years, so I know about this. "
Then, Duan Yu reminded, "Qin Wen, since you are a hidden disciple, you should keep a low profile and don't publicize it. This is not only for the continuation of Xianwen Sect, but also to protect your safety. Do you know why almost half of our Grand Supreme Elders have gone missing in the past ten thousand years? "
Qin Di shook his head. "This disciple doesn't know. Please enlighten me."
Duan Yu sighed and said, "Ancestral Master Cang Jie is a kind person. As a small sect, Xianwen Sect doesn't want to get involved in the disputes of the Celestial Court, and has been keeping a low profile for many years. However, the elites of the sect often went missing again and again. In less than five million years, there were already four Grand Grandmasters of Immortal Rune, in other words, masters on the level of Highest Elders. There were also over a dozen Grand Grandmasters of Immortal Rune, in other words, core Elders of the sect. In addition, there were over 30 Grandmasters of Immortal Rune, all of them inner court Elders! A total of fifty to sixty people were kidnapped one after another and disappeared forever! "
Qin Di was shocked. "How could this be?"
Duan Yu's complexion was ugly and she said with a heavy heart, "The so-called Immortal Rune Grandmaster is someone who has grasped more than 30,000 immortal characters; Immortal Rune Grandmaster is someone who has grasped more than 40,000 immortal characters; Immortal Rune Great Grandmaster is someone who has grasped more than 50,000 immortal characters. Now, our sect only has four Grand Grandmasters of Immortal Rune, a dozen Grand Grandmasters of Immortal Rune, and nearly 30 Grandmasters of Immortal Rune. "
"These people don't even dare to go out. Most of them stay in the sect to cultivate. Even if they go out, they will change their appearance. Only in the core stars of the Three Enclosures, Four Symbols, and 28 Mansions will they reveal their identity, because these places are relatively safe. "
Qin Di remembered that when he saw his master Zhong Xianshu in the past, it was also on one of the main stars of the White Tiger Seven Stars. Moreover, Zhong Xianshu only taught there for a hundred years and left soon after. Thinking about it, he probably wanted to avoid disaster and didn't dare to make it public. Otherwise, with his status as a Grand Grandmaster of Immortal Rune, he should have been surrounded by many people.
"Martial Uncle, according to what you said, the living environment of our sect is really too bad!"
Duan Yu sighed and said, "Xianwen Sect is not a conservative sect. Patriarch Cang Jie has opened its doors wide and welcomed Jin Xian and Sengoku to come and discuss. Even Immortal Emperors have come to visit. These people all have unique views on cultivation and often touch upon rare Great Daos. They may comprehend new Immortal Runes, so they come to Xianwen Sect to exchange pointers with the Grand Grandmasters of Immortal Rune. They expound on their understanding and make up for their deficiencies. After they return, their cultivation often greatly improves. "
"The arrival of these great figures has both advantages and disadvantages for our Xianwen Sect. The advantage is that it can promote the growth of Grand Grandmasters of Immortal Rune, allowing our sect to accumulate materials and give birth to new Immortal Runes, forming a vast amount of knowledge. So much so that Patriarch Cang Jie once said that he has already spied on 120,000 Immortal Runes and is waiting to sort them out to form a new scripture! What an amazing achievement this is! Although Patriarch is only a sixth rank Sengoku, he hasn't cultivated for a long time. If he accumulates enough time, he may become an amazing Immortal Emperor! "
"Of course, there are also disadvantages! The arrival of these Jin Xian and Sengoku Grandmasters, on one hand, reveals the accumulated academic reserves of our sect for many years, and on the other hand, brings unexpected dangers. These people come and go, and some stay in Xianwen Sect for several years, or even several decades, or even hundreds of years! Which Grand Grandmasters of Immortal Rune, which Grand Grandmasters of Immortal Rune, and which elite disciples are in our sect, can be seen at a glance! Those people come to exchange pointers and learn Immortal Rune, but they are still not satisfied. Sometimes, they will tempt the Grandmasters of our sect to go out and explore some Immortal Rune ruins. In the end, halfway through, they will be suddenly robbed and never return! "
When Qin Di heard this, he couldn't help but feel heavy.
He heard Duan Yu say, "According to Patriarch Cang Jie's guess, those Grandmasters who were robbed have been detained! They have grasped forty to fifty thousand Immortal Runes, and no matter which sect, they are rare and precious treasures! After their Immortal Rune resources are squeezed dry, these Grandmasters will be killed and buried, and there will be no trace of them! As for those Jin Xian and Sengoku Grandmasters, they will come back to Xianwen Sect and continue to exchange and discuss with us, looking for new Immortal Rune experts, and then thinking of robbing new people, because every Grand Grandmaster of Immortal Rune has a different understanding of Immortal Rune … "
Duan Yu's eyes stared at Qin Di, and his expression was solemn. He said, "I am telling you these things not to scare you, but to remind you to be careful! Your cultivation is too low. Facing experts like Jin Xian and Sengoku, you have no means to protect yourself, so it is best to stay in the sect and not reveal yourself. No one will know that you are a hidden disciple, and no one will know that you are an Immortal Rune Grandmaster. This way, you will be much safer! "
Qin Di bowed, "Many thanks for Martial Uncle's teachings. This disciple knows what to do."
Then, Duan Yu led him to another room, and facing a large map, he let him choose a place to live.
"The island under our feet is called 'Immortal Rune Island'. It is shaped like a three-section gourd, so it is also called 'Gourd Island'. The opening of the gourd faces the south, and the bottom is on the north. The outermost section is for outer court disciples and outsiders to live in. The middle section is for inner court disciples and elite disciples. There are many large palaces here, and every day there are people giving lectures. You can listen to whatever you want. The innermost section is where the sect Elders and true disciples live. Not only is there Patriarch Cang Jie's palace, but there is also a hundred thousand mu of stele forest!
"Inside the stele forest, there are 108,000 Immortal Rune models created by the patriarch! Around each Immortal Rune are many rubbing stone tablets. These are the Immortal Rune ruins that the sect seniors, Elders, and disciples brought back from the various worlds of the universe, and then made into stone tablets! These stone tablets are also very precious. They are the verification and supplement of the 108,000 Immortal Runes! These are the most precious things of the sect! Therefore, this stele forest, together with the exquisite library outside the stele forest, are protected by an Immortal Formation!
"It is said that when the patriarch built the stele forest, the five old Emperors were still there. The Yellow Emperor and the Qing Emperor were also there. They thought that this stele forest was the key to the prosperity of the human race. Therefore, the two Immortal Emperors joined hands and carefully set up a peak Ninth Stage Immortal Formation. Therefore, the safety of the stele forest is guaranteed.
"In recent years, after the Lingxiao Hall's Jade Emperor ascended to the throne, his power grew. He took a fancy to this stele forest, so he kept pressuring the patriarch to voluntarily offer the stele forest to the Celestial Court. Patriarch Cang Jie was under too much pressure. Because the five old Emperors were not there, he had to join hands with Tianbao Hall and ask the Three Great Emperors, the Eight Gods of Fortune, the Emperor Tian Huang, and the Zhenwu Great Emperor to help, so that the Xianwen Sect could maintain its basic independence … "
Duan Yu pointed at the map and said, "Come and have a look. There are empty Immortal Abodes inside and outside the third segment of the gourd island. Do you want to live inside the second segment or outside the third segment?"
Qin Di asked, "Martial Uncle, what's the difference between the two?"
Duan Yu said, "If you live in the second section, it is easy to find people, communicate with others, and listen to all kinds of lectures. But every time you enter the third section, you have to check your identity token. If you live in the third section, it is easy to get close to the stele forest and enter the exquisite library, but it is not convenient to listen to lectures. Moreover, it will be estranged from the ordinary disciples, and it may attract foreign masters and become the target of their robbery. So think about it and choose whichever you want. "
Qin Di thought for a while and said, "Then I'll choose the outside. I'm a new disciple, and I want to communicate with more people. "
He looked at the map and pointed, saying, "Martial Uncle, I think this is good. It is very close to the third section, not far from the stele forest, and it is at the edge of the island. I see there is a red line nearby, and it should also be protected by an Immortal Formation, so it is safe and quiet, and I will not be disturbed. So I choose this place!"
Duan Yu looked at the map and said, "You guessed right, there is an Eighth Stage Immortal Formation on the outside of the second section of the island. In the whole gourd island, only the place where you just came in has an entrance to enter and exit the sect. "
Qin Di got the key to enter the Immortal Talisman and said goodbye to Duan Yu.
Duan Yu called Jiang Xin over and said, "Qin Wen is new here, and he is not familiar with the layout of the sect. Take him there."
