"Do you know why the Four Great Immortal Sects are called Immortal Sects?"
Lu Xingchen said this while keeping the audience in suspense.
“I don’t know.”
Gu Qingze shook his head. This was the initial setting in the original novel, and he had never thought about the reason carefully.
"The criteria for becoming an Immortal Sect are very complex. In addition to comprehensive strength and resource allocation, there is another important step - obtaining the recognition of the Heavenly Dao."
"The approval of Heaven? Then what does it take to gain the approval of Heaven?"
Gu Qingze suddenly became interested. If he knew that, he might be able to grasp some of the laws governing the operation of the universe.
"I'm not sure about that. After all, the Four Great Immortal Sects became immortal sects hundreds of thousands of years ago. I only got this information by accident."
Gu Qingze was a little disappointed, but he didn't expect to know the information about the Heavenly Dao immediately. If it were really that simple, the Heavenly Dao would not be called the Heavenly Dao.
"Then according to what you said, Senior Brother, there are some sects that have met the standards of becoming immortal sects in other aspects, but because they cannot obtain the recognition of the Heavenly Dao, they can only be judged as large sects."
Gu Qingze told Lu Xingchen his guess.
"Junior brother is indeed smart and clever. He understood immediately, unlike that abominable stinky fox who beats around the bush even though he knows the meaning of the words..."
Thinking of He Lanzhi's face that deserved a beating, Lu Xingchen felt itchy and wanted to beat him up immediately.
"But Brother, if those sects have already reached the standards of an Immortal Sect, why don't they establish their own? Who is enforcing these rules? If it's the Four Great Immortal Sects, then other sects have the ability to compete with them, so would they still be afraid of them?"
Gu Qingze was not misled by Lu Xingchen's words and grasped the key points of the speech.
"The reasons are very complicated. About two hundred thousand years ago, a sect believed that its strength was on par with other immortal sects, so it called itself an immortal sect. However, within two years, it was destroyed by natural disasters and man-made calamities. As a result, other sects did not dare to act rashly..."
"So it's Heaven that enforces this rule?"
"That should be it..."
Lu Xingchen said hesitantly.
"In fact, whether or not a sect is immortal is just a name. It's not that important. It's enough to know the strength of your own sect."
"That's true, but before I joined Qingyun Sect, the information about the various sects was incomplete, and most people didn't know about this rule."
"Whatever. This is the way the world is. If you think too much, you'll get a headache, little brother. Sometimes not knowing is more joyful than knowing."
Lu Xingchen changed his serious look and patted Gu Qingze's shoulder gently.
"But I guess most cultivators would still want to join the Four Great Immortal Sects even if they knew this rule."
"Why?"
"Because they have been recognized by Heaven. They have the good fortune of Heaven. If you follow Heaven's will, everything you do will be more successful. Everyone knows this."
"That's right."
Gu Qingze nodded in agreement. Resistance was difficult, and he would not choose this option unless it was absolutely necessary.
"So what are the major sects that you mentioned earlier that specialize in swordsmanship?"
Gu Qingze brought the topic back to the beginning.
"Of course it's the Wanjian Sect."
Wanjian Sect?
Why does the name of this sect sound familiar to me?
Gu Qingze thought for a moment and suddenly realized.
"Isn't this the sect that Su Han joined?"
