"What's the uncle's name?"

"Yu Baichou." He made a simple gesture.

"Yu means "Yu", Bai means "hundreds of thousands", and Qiu means "hatred". It's not a very good name, but my master at the time said that this name was tough, otherwise I wouldn't survive, so my parents happily gave me this name."

"You know what, sometimes I actually believe it. After all, many of my peers died, but I was the only one who survived."

"What is Jie Tian Dao?" the girl asked curiously again.

"This is one of the methods of ascending to heaven. From ancient times to the present, there are nine ways that have been passed down in the world and are feasible. They are Qianlong, Lubing, Jietian, Jiuyou, Xuanshui, Huayu, Moxin, Baihua, and Yuanyi."

"After practicing, you will ascend the Nine Heavenly Ladders and achieve the Immortal Fruit, and you will be able to live a long and healthy life."

"I cultivate the path of killing soldiers. Although it's easy to get started, it's difficult to improve. The more you progress, the higher the talent required. In addition, this path is mostly about the art of battle formations, that is, how to lead troops in battle. It is generally more popular in the military."

Hearing Yu Baichou say this, another picture flashed through the girl's mind. It was an extremely magnificent picture scroll. On the undulating wilderness, there were endless white flags, advancing like waves. Under the flags, there was a mighty army wearing uniform armor, marching in strict discipline and in an orderly manner, marching in formation.

"What about that section of Heavenly Dao?"

"The Jietian lineage excels at observing the night sky, divination, setting up mechanical devices, using the Qimen Dunjia technique, and creating ingenious creations. It's said to have been passed down from the Yellow Bird, one of the Five Virtues."

The girl was still not satisfied and continued to ask about the next few avenues.

"Hua Yu and Mo Xin, these two are the Taoist traditions left behind by the extraterritorial immortals and extraterritorial demons."

"It is said that Jiuyou was brought back by a ghost messenger who crossed the sea to the east."

"Mysterious Water is one of the Five Virtues, a direct descendant of the White Bird. Hundred Flowers is also one of the Five Virtues, a direct descendant of the Blue Bird."

"Yuan Yi existed in the ancient times and is the beginning of the Great Dao."

"And Qianlong and Lubing are the two major orthodox schools of thought in the world, complementing each other and suppressing the world."

Listening to the uncle's story, the girl couldn't help but fantasize. She thought, if only she could do one of these things, she could go to heaven and earth and do anything. It is indeed everyone's dream.

"Hahaha, if Miss Luo Lanxi wants to learn, you can go and become my disciple. Nowadays, all the major sects have opened their doors and are recruiting disciples to prepare for the great calamity. It's much easier to get started than before."

"What kind of big disaster is it?" The girl tilted her head curiously.

"This story begins several years ago... At that time, the sun and the moon were in the same sky, fighting each other, causing chaos in the heavens. Although the moon later shattered and the sun set, resetting the order of earth, fire, wind and water, the immortals and wandering gods in heaven and on earth were all cast down to the mortal world and had to start all over again."

"But I didn't expect that the way of heaven had changed. The old ways were no longer effective, so I had to create new ones. And many exiled immortals, due to the end of their lifespans, fell on the way to re-ascend the ladder to heaven."

"Now, all the major sects and aristocratic families in the world have to start all over again. Fortunately, some of the major sects have a deep foundation. Among the many disciples, as long as there are one or two powerful ones, there will always be someone who can be used to support the sect and ease the situation."

"But compared to the past, today is an era of great contention, and nothing has settled down yet, so everyone is still trying their best to recruit talented people." At this point, the strong man was also full of ambition, sighing that this is a great opportunity, an era when heroes and talents emerge in large numbers.

"Is Uncle Yu also from a certain sect?"

"Yes, I learned all these skills at Tuositang in Nanfengzhou." Without waiting for the girl to ask, Yu Baichou gave a brief introduction to Tuositang.

The Tuoshitang (Tuoshitang) originated from the riverside and coastal porters, specifically the dock laborers and boatmen. During the Plantagenet era, river transportation flourished, and numerous waterways provided a livelihood for many. However, public security was not always good during this era, and the need to travel extensively led to these workers and boatmen seeking protection. To protect themselves, these porters and boatmen gradually banded together to form the organization that would later become the Tuoshitang (Tuoshitang).

Then, as the number of people increased, they gradually developed, and generations of people perfected their skills, forming a famous faction. In the past, although there were not many top masters, because their disciples were so wide and there were all kinds of people, some large factions would not easily provoke them.

Within Tuoshi Hall, many practice the Lubing and Xuanshui schools, with most of their skills centered around these two lines, emphasizing a strong, tough skin and immense strength capable of breaking monuments. Their weapons are often long poles or swords (like boat poles or oars).

Because it has many sects and has expanded along the river system, it is also quite famous outside. It is the kind of faction that is not very powerful individually, but when there are many of them, they are very good at causing trouble and are not easy to deal with.

To join the Tuositang, one naturally has to go through several tests first. First, one must be someone in this line of work, such as dock workers, boatmen, fishermen, etc. Then, after working and observing outside for three years, the master will take him in, let him learn the skills, and determine his seniority.

"So, I'm afraid my sect isn't suitable for Miss Luo. You'd be better suited to sects like 'Qingluyuan', 'Dieyi Valley', or 'Jiusefang' where there are more girls."

"Of course, this is just my casual remark. If Miss Luo can recover her memory, it would actually be better for her to return directly to her own family. There will be more resources, and there will be people who will teach her skills."

"After joining the sect, can I still leave?" The girl suddenly thought of this question.

"It depends on which faction you belong to. Most of the time, it's allowed, but there are some restrictions, like not being able to pass on your skills to outsiders, not being able to cause trouble for your faction, etc."

"In fact, most factions are places where a group of people doing the same job gather together to help each other learn and impart skills."
