The grading of the sects and clans in the Nine Prefectures was not something that could be interfered with. It was all up to the heavens.
This was why the sects of the Myriad Devil Ridge had sent their disciples to hunt Lu Ye down at the Spirit Stream Battlefield after learning that the Jade Blood Sect had gained a new disciple. If Lu Ye was killed, the Jade Blood Sect would be completely removed from the Sect Grading!
The Myriad Devil Ridge was very wary of this great enemy that had caused great losses to the Myriad Devil Ridge several decades ago. He had even caused several first-rank sects to fall in rank.
Unfortunately, all their efforts had been for naught. Lu Ye had become famous after the battle at the Spirit Stream Battlefield, and the Jade Blood Sect had remained.
There were many rigid criteria for the grading of sects.
For example, the top three sects had to have a Divine Ocean Realm cultivator!
The middle three sects had to have a True Lake Realm cultivator!
As for the lower three sects, they had to have a certain number of Cloud River Realm cultivators.
However, the Divine Ocean Realm cultivators in the sect did not necessarily mean that they would be in the top three sects. The heavens had their own set of criteria.
For example, the Jade Blood Sect's sect master was in the Divine Ocean Realm. However, because the sect only had two disciples, Lu Ye and Shui Yuan, they were only in the ninth rank.
Even now, the Jade Blood Sect had not been promoted to the middle three ranks. This was because the overall strength of the Jade Blood Sect had not reached the middle three ranks.
Lu Ye had told the two loose cultivators that the Purple Star Dao Palace was in the sixth rank. This was obviously not right.
"Therefore, you need to reach the True Lake Realm before the sect is established!" Lu Ye said, "The grading of sects is done once every three years. There is only one exception, and that is when a new sect is established."
Pang Huanyin understood. "I understand."
"You alone might not be able to reach the True Lake Realm. If the Dao Palace can have five people reach the True Lake Realm, it will definitely be in the sixth rank!"
"What are the benefits of having a high grade?" Pang Huanyin asked.
"The biggest benefit is the choice of the Dao Palace's encampment at the Spirit Stream Battlefield."
Lu Ye then explained the situation at the Spirit Stream Battlefield to her in detail.
Pang Huanyin immediately understood the implications.
The Spirit Stream Realm was the first realm for cultivators. It was also the realm that laid the foundation. If the disciples could be in an environment rich in Spirit Qi, they would undoubtedly be able to obtain greater benefits.
If the Ziwei Daoist Palace wanted to continue its legacy in the Nine States, then the foundation of the Spirit Stream Battlefield must be solid.
As the most powerful human cultivator on the Peerless Continent, Pang Huanyin had obtained the Peerless Origin Power. She was extremely talented, and she had already reached the peak of the Cloud River Tier. However, due to the limitations of heaven and earth, she was unable to reach the threshold of the True Lake Tier.
However, things were different here in the Nine Continents. She could already feel that the bottleneck that was troubling her was loosening up. Therefore, she was confident that she could advance to the True Lake Stage in a short period of time.
As for the five people that Lu Ye mentioned …
There weren't many Ninth Order Cloud River Realm cultivators in the Dao Palace, but they weren't few either. Gathering five of them and finding a way to help them reach the True Lake Realm shouldn't be a problem.
A Rank-6 grade was basically stable.
Furthermore, it was not easy for a sect to establish itself. Even if Pang Huanyin had chosen the Holy Zhi Palace's territory, the Holy Zhi Palace would still have to send people over to build a foundation for their own sect.
No matter how efficient the cultivators were, it would still take them a month or two to complete the task.
Therefore, it would take at least one or two months for the Dao Palace to establish itself in the Nine States.
This period of time was enough for Pang Huanyin and the other cultivators to advance to the True Lake Realm.
The two talked as they flew.
Half a day later, they landed on a Spirit Peak and Pang Huanyin said, "Let's do it here. With this place as the center, there are thirty Spirit Peaks nearby."
There were tens of thousands of cultivators in the Dao Palace, so 30 peaks were more than enough. Moreover, the cultivators in the Dao Palace were all at the Spirit Stream Realm and Cloud River Realm. Once they set foot in the Nine States, most of them would enter the Spirit Stream Battlefield and the Cloud River Battlefield.
"I'll have to trouble Senior Brother to report back to Sect Master Tang and ask for his permission."
Lu Ye nodded, "Let's go back."
However, there was probably no problem with this matter. Since the Sect Master had allowed Pang Huanyin to choose freely, as long as her request wasn't too excessive, the Sect Master would agree. After all, there were many Spirit Peaks in Ao Mountain that were idle.
He led Pang Huanyin back to the Zheng Shou Peak, but he didn't see the Sect Master or his Second Senior Sister.
"Senior Brother, I'll have to return to the Peerless Continent first and inform the Holy Zhi Palace cultivators about what happened here so that they can make preparations. Also, I'll have to pick a few people and bring them here to advance to the True Lake Realm. I'll have to trouble Senior Brother when the time comes."
"No problem." Lu Ye nodded.
Pang Huanyin could now freely travel between the Nine Prefectures and the Peerless Continent with the help of the Jade Blood Sect's Tianji Pillar. However, if they wanted to advance to the True Lake Realm, they would need the help of some Spirit Pills. He could ask his Second Senior Sister about this matter. Now that she was in the Divine Sea Realm, it would be a piece of cake for her to solve the problem of advancing to the True Lake Realm from the Cloud River Realm.
After thinking about it, Lu Ye didn't look for his Second Senior Sister. Instead, he flew to the Mingxin Peak.
He had already acknowledged Madam Yun as his Master, but he lacked a formal ceremony. Now that he had returned, he naturally had to pay her a visit.
However, it was a pity that he didn't see his Master this time. He only saw her avatar, Xiao Die. Xiao Die told Lu Ye that his Master had been repairing the Dragon Throne with the help of the Sect Master recently and hadn't shown up for a long time.
As for the progress of the repair, Xiao Die didn't know. Although she was only his Master's avatar, if the Master didn't share her knowledge, she wouldn't be able to pry into the Master's thoughts.
Lu Ye told Xiao Die about Pang Huanyin's situation in detail and asked her to inform the Sect Master when she met him. Xiao Die naturally agreed. After leaving the Mingxin Peak, Lu Ye returned to his Jade Bamboo Peak. Only then did he see his Second Senior Sister.
It turned out that his Second Senior Sister was hiding here to teach Hua Ci about medical cultivation. Lu Ye didn't disturb her.
He originally wanted to cultivate to the peak of the Cloud River Realm in the Cloudy River Battlefield and rearrange the array in the spiritual land. Then, he would advance to the True Lake Realm and leave the Cloudy River Battlefield.
However, Man proposes, God disposes. The migration of the Wu Shuang Continent caused all the cultivators to be expelled from the Cloudy River Battlefield.
Although he could continue to wait for the day when the Cloudy River Battlefield reopened, no one knew when that day would come.
On second thought, he had already laid a solid foundation in the spiritual land. When the disciples of his sect entered the spiritual land, they would be protected by the wolf pack. He wouldn't have to worry so much.
It was more important to advance to the True Lake Realm.
In the end, a cultivator's cultivation was still the most important. He still had a lot of golden spirit lots left, enough for him to advance to the True Lake Realm.
Thinking of this, Lu Ye made a decision.
However, just as he was about to use the golden spirit lots to cultivate, a loud voice suddenly came from the Jade Blood Sect. "Where are the people of the Jade Blood Sect?"
The voice was activated by spiritual energy and spread in all directions. Everyone within a hundred miles could hear it clearly.
Lu Ye, who had just sat down and prepared to cultivate, raised his eyebrows.
It had been several years since Yang Kai had joined Blue Blood Sect and although he hadn't spent much time in the Sect, he had never met anyone from any other Sect. Only once did the Headmaster of Three Holy Courtyard come to the Sect and fight with the Sect Master over the matter of the Headmaster kidnapping one of his Sect's disciples.
Lu Ye couldn't help but feel suspicious. Who was this person that dared to come to the Jade Blood Sect and shout?
The sect master was currently helping his master repair the Dragon Throne at the Clear Heart Peak. He obviously wouldn't be able to come out for a short period of time.
Lu Ye's heart moved. He hurriedly got up and opened the door. He saw Shui Yuan rushing towards the Jade Blood Sect.
Hua Ci, who appeared with her, looked in that direction. Her expression was the same as Lu Ye's, filled with confusion.
On the other side, Giant Armour, who was cultivating, was also alarmed and appeared.
Although the three of them didn't know what was going on, they all moved and followed Shui Yuan closely.
After a while, they rushed to the Jade Blood Sect and saw a young man in silver armor waiting for them.
Seeing the young man's attire, Shui Yuan couldn't help but frown. The aura of a Divine Sea Realm cultivator also leaked out intentionally or unintentionally.
The person's strength was obviously not at the Divine Sea Realm. He was only at the True Lake Realm. Feeling the pressure from Shui Yuan, his expression couldn't help but become serious. He cupped his fists and saluted, "Greetings, Senior Sister Shui Yuan."
Shui Yuan nodded slightly with a solemn expression, "What's the matter?"
The young man turned his hand and a bronze token appeared in his palm. He raised it high and said in a sonorous voice, "I am Zhao Che of the Grand Sky City Dispatch Department. I've been ordered to come here. Jade Blood Sect, receive the order."
Although Shui Yuan was a little reluctant, in front of this bronze token, she had to withdraw her Divine Sea Realm aura. She cupped her fists and listened respectfully. Zhao Che said in a clear voice, "The Elder Committee has ordered the Jade Blood Sect to send at least one disciple to Grand Sky City within three days, and no limit to the number of disciples. There must be no mistakes in this matter, and anyone who disobeys will be killed without mercy."
Shui Yuan sighed in her heart. She knew that what was supposed to come had come. She handed it over with both hands, "Jade Blood Sect's Shui Yuan, receive the order."
Zhao Che placed the bronze token in Shui Yuan's hand and saluted again, "Senior Sister, please don't blame me. I'm just following orders." As he spoke, he looked behind Shui Yuan and his gaze stopped on Lu Ye for a moment. He said in a low voice, "Deputy Alliance Leader Pang has already done his best. However, it's not good to delay too much. I thought that I could delay for a while, but I didn't expect that there would be some changes at the Cloudy River Battlefield. Now that a storm is coming at the various passes, this matter can only be brought forward. As for the selection of people here, Senior Sister should discuss it with Sect Leader Tang. However, they must arrive at Grand Sky City within three days. "
His previous tough attitude was because he came on behalf of the Grand Sky Alliance. Now, he reminded her in a low voice because he was standing on his own side.
"I understand." "Yes."
"Goodbye!" Zhao Che cupped his fists and soared into the sky. He really came in a hurry and left in a hurry. Shui Yuan stood in place, holding the bronze token. She was speechless for a long time.
Lu Ye and the others were a little confused. However, just by looking at Shui Yuan's state, they knew that something must have happened that she didn't want to see. After a long while, Shui Yuan sighed. She turned around and looked at Lu Ye, then at Hua Ci and Giant Jia. She said, "There are some things that I have to tell you."
