your actions are somewhat dishonorable right now, I still say the same thing, I will not deceive you."Since it's my Empty Phase Tribulation, I will still use all my Emptiness to help you through this..."When asked about the Daoist schools, it was said that there are tens of thousands of branches similar to the Mountain and Sea realm, scattered across all sorts of worlds."

According to comprehensive strength, all branches are divided into grades from one to nine, from low to high.

Once a branch sect's overall strength reaches the ninth level, it can then send its members to the main sect's location and become disciples of the main sect.

To go to the main clan is not only a great honor, but also a huge opportunity that can truly change oneself, and even the fate of one's descendants.

After all, the main sect is superior. Whether it's the environment for cultivation or the resources available, they far surpass those of the branch sects!

Being in the main sect naturally allows your cultivation path to progress further!

Regarding the division of branch sects and the hierarchy thereof, only the headmasters of branch sects are privy to this knowledge. Therefore, every headmaster of a branch sect aspires for their respective branch sect to ascend to the ninth rank, thus enabling them to journey to the main sect.

It's a pity, it sounds simple when you say it, but it's extremely difficult to achieve.

Those who can truly rise from the first rank to the ninth are so rare that you couldn't find even one in ten thousand.

Therefore, over time, the matter of going to the main temple became like a reflection in a mirror or the moon in water, always visible but forever out of reach.

Out of desperation, he asked the master. The master thought of a method: a grand tournament within the sect!

The so-called "Grand Competition within the Sect" refers to disciples from various sub-sects participating in a competition, even challenging disciples of the main sect. Once victorious, there is a high chance they can join the main sect.

The focus of the comparison is naturally all the sub-sects.

However, only disciples who have reached the fourth level of the ranking will be personally escorted to the main sect by a member of the family before the grand competition. Those with strength within these branches will be invited to participate in the main sect's grand competition.

As for those below the fourth level, they can only figure out ways to go to the main sect themselves.

In fact, this is equivalent to not allowing divisions below level four to participate in the big competition.

Because those below the fourth rank are mostly unable to even leave their own worlds, how could they possibly travel to the main sect!

In a great competition, it's not even about winning. If a disciple stands out and catches the eye of powerful figures from the main sect, then their affiliated branch could be catapulted to new heights.

After all, there are people taking care of those within the main branch. Needless to say, the benefits that will follow are many.

Therefore, the grand competition held within the Question Dao Sect is a momentous occasion for all its branches!

Of course, Jiangyun also cared deeply.

As the Sect Master of the Shan Hai Realm's Questioning Dao, Jiang Yun had never recalled the vow he made when he first entered Gu Bulao's sect and took over as Sect Master.

If he lives, I live; if he dies, I die!

Therefore, he always kept the disciples of the Shan Hai Wen Dao Sect in his thoughts, and he often thought about being able to take all of them out of the Shan Hai Realm.

Now, the opportunity has arrived!

"First, go to Yaodaozong and cure Mu Shaofeng's injuries. Then, seize the key from Yaodaozong, and then head to Wendaozhuzong to participate in the grand competition."

With my current abilities, I wouldn't dare say that I could win the grand competition in the end. However, at least I should be able to gain the attention of some elder patriarchs.

As long as I can establish a foothold in the main sect, then at that time, I will find a way to gradually relocate the disciples of Shan Hai Wen Dao Zong to the main sect!

Of course, if I were stronger and could win the competition outright, that would be even better!

After all, I'm not just going to send the disciples of Shan Hai Wen Dao Zong to the main sect. I also need to obtain the key to Chizhi Tianya.

Whether it's Yaodaozong's recruitment or Wendaozong's grand competition, there's still quite a bit of time. Therefore, I'll see if I can improve my cultivation level further for now.

Although Ginger Cloud has successfully entered the Heavenly Grace Realm, he is not content with just that.

Because the Nine Clan Dao Seal on his body was also broken, he completely gained his freedom.

For him, from now on, is the time when the sky is high for birds to fly and the sea is wide for fish to leap. Therefore, he naturally wants to improve his abilities faster.

Moreover, although he successfully obtained the power of heaven and earth in the Nine Earths, through his previous attacks on Dao Er and Lei Bao, he also realized that strictly speaking, he was not yet the master of the Nine Earths, but only someone who could be protected by the Nine Earths.

To truly become the Lord of the Nine Lands, one must at least reach the Daoist realm, just like other cultivators. Only those who have reached the Daoist realm are qualified to become Realm Lords!

It's no longer about heaven and earth protecting you, but rather being able to control them!

"But before that, I have two things to figure out!"

"Bai Ze!"

Although Jiang Yun was able to successfully break the Nine Clans Dao Seal with Bai Ze's help, how Bai Ze knew the method to break the Nine Clans Dao Seal also left Jiang Yun puzzled.

At the time, the situation was urgent and Jiang Yun hadn't had time to think much. But now, the more he thought about it, the more something felt off.

Bai Ze is just a celestial demon, and he has been sealed in the Refining Demon Brush for a very long time. How could he possibly know how to break the Nine Clan Dao Seal left by the Dao Sovereign

It's a pity that no matter how Jiang Yun tried to ask, or even threatened and tempted him, Bai Ze remained utterly silent.

Naturally, this also made Jiang Yun more certain that Bai Ze must have some secret he was unwilling to tell him, which is why he didn't respond.

This also left Jiang Yun with no choice but to temporarily give up. After all, no matter what, he believed Bai Ze wouldn't harm him, and that was enough.

Then, Jiang Yun spread his palm open. In the center of his palm appeared a ball of flame, it was his own life fire.

However, he remembered that his original life fire was red, but now, within the red, there was an added tinge of deep black.

And from this black fire of fate, he felt the breath of death more strongly than ever.

For why he could be resurrected, Jiang Yun had completely forgotten.

At that time, he was essentially already dead.

As the Mother of Thunder said to Snow Fairy, it was only because his soul was imprisoned that he had the possibility of coming back to life, for he could not leave his body immediately.

Therefore, no matter how he recalls it now, he can't remember how he survived, why a trace of black appeared in the fire of his life!

Is this a good thing or a bad thing for myself

"Demonic!"

Now the ghost, Ghost-Lord, was incredibly obedient. Hearing Jiang Yun's summon, it immediately materialized from that black flame of life.

Ginger asked straightforwardly, "What's the matter with this black life fire"

Ghostly immediately replied, "This black soul fire, according to our Ghost Clan's sayings, is called Netherfire. It is the counterpart of soul fire, a kind of flame possessed only by spirits and ghosts."

Then why would I have hellfire

"I don't know about that." Ghostly shook his head. "As for the situation where life fire and underworld fire exist at the same time, I've never heard of it."

However, I have a feeling that with this Netherfire, you should be able to enter the Underworld, I mean, enter it while still alive!

The eerie words made a stir in Jiang Yun's heart.

Throughout history, life and death have always been worlds apart.

Although the Ghost Clan can enter the mortal realm, it seems that living beings can only enter the Underworld through the Borderland of Life and Death.

The son of the Wild Chart, and his own "disciple," Huang Yuan, went to find the Boundary of Life and Death, wanting to enter the realm of death. And according to Xiao Letian, he was most likely unsuccessful.

If one could accomplish this with only the power of this infernal fire, then it would certainly be worth considering venturing into the Netherworld.

After all, in the Dead Realm, besides emptiness, one might also find their deceased third senior brother.

However, even if I were to go to the Death Realm myself, it couldn't be now. At the very least, I have to wait until after rescuing Grandpa and the Medicine God.

Thinking of the vastness, Jiang Yun couldn't help but ask, "Do you know about the Realm of Life and Death"

The ghost nodded and said, "I know, and under your feet, there is a boundary between life and death!"

First published on the Traditional Chinese Novel Network the third time and said, "That's exactly because you are my senior brother!"Jiang Yun didn't know why his senior brother had asked him to kill those cultivators from the Bitter Domain. But just as he...
