STARTING MY CULTIVATION WITH TIME MANAGEMENT

Chapter 679: Chapter 13 Exploiting the Rules to Act Shamelessly Chapter 679: Chapter 13 Exploiting the Rules to Act Shamelessly Xu Yinglian did not know where her senior brother’s “ninety-nine percent certainty” came from, but she decided to investigate for herself.

On her way to Jiuhua True Monarch’s place, she earnestly asked Luo Baiyuan,

“Han Yuan senior sister, you seem to know the leading cultivator from the Nether Ghost Path?

Can you tell me some specific information about him?”

“There’s nothing that can’t be said about that.” After pondering for a moment, Luo Baiyuan honestly said, “Mo Gu True Person is the youngest son of the current Sect Leader of the Nether Ghost Path, Fu Xie, whose true name is ‘Chai Yanji’.”

“Among Fu Xie’s children, this person has the highest cultivation talent, but his temperament is also the most unruly.”

“He once publicly disparaged the Sect’s system of the Nether Ghost Path as being too weak, and his words even reached the ears of Honored White Bone, who severely reprimanded Sect Leader Fu Xie.”

Deliberate self-defamation?

Was it to dispel the suspicions of his brothers and demonstrate that he had no intention of succeeding as Sect Leader?

Xu Yinglian silently speculated.

“Too weak?

What does that mean?” Qiu Changtian asked curiously.

“The Sect system of the Nether Ghost Path, you must have heard of it, right?” Luo Baiyuan frowned and said, “They implement an extremely brutal elite competition system.

Regardless of the disciple’s mentorship, they are all classified into two categories based on their combat power.”

“Within the elite disciples, those in the Foundation Establishment Realm are called ‘Judges’; those in the Golden Core Realm are called ‘Hall Masters’.

Anyone who can enter the ranks of Judges or Hall Masters will receive tilted support from the Sect’s cultivation resources.”

“Isn’t that very normal?” Xu Yinglian said in surprise, “Even in our Kunlun, we have distinctions between inner and outer sect disciples.”

“It’s different,” Luo Baiyuan shook her head and said, “Our Kunlun’s inner and outer sect disciples are divided according to the disciple’s cultivation talent.”

“Their ranks of Judges and Hall Masters, however, are determined based on magical competition strength, and every now and then, they must fight it out, where the violent advance and the gentle retreat.”

“The Immortal Sword Ranking of the Shushan Shangqing Faction was initially modeled after the Nether Ghost Path’s ‘Yanluo Ranking’, but Shushan only rewards the leading Sword Immortals on the Immortal Sword Ranking, and those who do not make the list are not punished.”

“However, within the Nether Ghost Path, if you are not on the Yanluo Ranking and fail to enter the ranks of Judges and Hall Masters, not only will you be limited in terms of cultivation resources, but your master will also give up on nurturing you, which is almost equivalent to losing all hope on the path of cultivation…

Hence, the internal competition is much more fierce than in ordinary Sects.”

“When Mo Gu True Person was at the Foundation Establishment Realm, he publicly declared that this system, named ‘survival of the fittest’, was in fact a disguised way of transferring the Sect’s power to the elders.

Because the elders could concentrate resources on their favorite disciples, these disciples can quickly become stronger, thus making it easier for them to enter the ranks of Judges and Hall Masters, and as a result, others will never have a chance to rise.”

Xu Yinglian was silent for a moment and revealed a look of “what’s wrong with that?”

In her view, it was natural for a master to decide how to nurture disciples based on their talents.

The Nether Ghost Path’s decision to determine the distribution of cultivation resources based on “magical competition strength” has already to some extent eroded the tradition of “master-disciple inheritance”, and now Mo Gu went even further to say “not deprived enough” and “it would be best for the master to have no hand in nurturing the disciple”, which is simply a departure from orthodox ways.

Qiu Changtian could fully understand what Mo Gu True Person meant.

?0?g?.??

For example, if the master-disciple inheritance system of the orthodox sects is like the ancient “transmission of poetry and books” and “control of education by noble families”, then the Nether Ghost Path is somewhat akin to an “imperial examination system”, with an innovative spirit of “promotion based on ability” therein.

What Mo Gu claimed was that the imperial examination system itself was not fair enough.

Because some people could afford education, and were naturally at a higher starting point than others.

Going further down this direction, it would fall under the category of “universal literacy” and “compulsory education”.

In terms of progressive ideas, it would definitely be far superior to the former two approaches.

“In summary,” Luo Baiyuan continued, “this matter reached the old demon White Bone, and as a result, his Sect Leader father was reprimanded.”

“Mo Gu was chastised by his father, and still unconvinced, he simply withdrew from the ranks of Judges and started to gather a group of non-Judge disciples, creating his own power faction.”

“About sixty to seventy years later, he brought his own subordinates and challenged those Judge elite disciples again.

He won more than he lost, effectively replacing half of the Judge team.”

Qiu Changtian: ………

So this was a story of a comeback and face-slapping, huh?

Didn’t your Nether Ghost Path claim that there was nothing wrong with the old system?

That only elite disciples could join the Judge team, right?

Mo Gu, bringing his non-Judge disciples, defeating half of the Judge’s elite disciples, clearly proves that the former group is stronger than the latter.

Therefore, if the former didn’t become Judges, then there must be something wrong with the Nether Ghost Path’s system!

Just by listening to what Luo Baiyuan said, Qiu Changtian could imagine how frustrated the upper echelons of the Nether Ghost Path were back then, their faces blatantly slapped by his father Fu Xie, the Sect Leader, and the Honored White Bone.

Anyway, Mo Gu True Person is definitely a troublemaker, and I must remind Junior Sister Xu to be careful when dealing with him later.

The palace of Jiuhua True Monarch is right next to that of Liandu True Monarch, so the three of them quickly arrived.

“Let’s go.” Xu Yinglian said indifferently as she looked ahead at the great hall.

Qiu Changtian followed Junior Sister Xu inside, only to see that everyone in the hall was sitting upright, except for Mo Gu True Person, who was reclining against a desk in a wilful and insubordinate manner.

“Aha, come to scout out the enemy’s situation, have you?” Seeing the three Kunlun True Persons stand up, he spoke languidly.

“You can come to investigate us, but we can’t come to scout?” Xu Yinglian furrowed her brows as she spoke.

“No.” Mo Gu True Person said simply.

Xu Yinglian was taken aback by his answer, only to see two Demonic Path True Persons suddenly pick up the desk and rush over, forcing the three of them out of the hall and using the desk to seal the door shut.

Kunlun people: ………

“If you want to force your way in, just blast the door open with your Daoist Magic!” laughed Mo Gu True Person from inside, “Don’t worry, we definitely won’t fight back!”

“Isn’t this just scum!” Xu Yinglian incredulously turned to look at Qiu Changtian.

“Junior Sister…

why are you looking at me?” Qiu Changtian was confused.

“Senior Brother, what do you think we should do about this situation?” Xu Yinglian spoke irritably.

“Forcing our way in is definitely not an option,” Qiu Changtian replied, “Look, there’s a Demonic Path True Person physically propping it up from behind the desk.”

“If we use Daoist Magic to force our way in, we will surely harm that person, thus breaking the ‘no fighting’ rule.”

“I’ve never seen such a shameless rascal!” Xu Yinglian gritted her teeth in anger.

“However, although we can’t use Daoist Magic to break down the door, some reconnaissance-type Daoist Magic can still be used,” Qiu Changtian reminded her.

Xu Yinglian calmed down and after a moment of contemplation, she extended her hand and formed a Daoist Formula.

Consequently, several little firebirds emerged in her palm, flapping up into the air and quickly turning into tiny, imperceptible sparks flitting towards the great hall.
