Xu Yinglian didn’t know where her senior brother’s “99% certainty” came from, but she decided to go and investigate it herself.

On the way to Jiuhua Zhenjun, she asked Luo Baiyuan seriously:

"Senior Sister Han Yuan, you seem to know the leader of the Yin Gui Dao? Can you tell me some specific information about him?"

"There's nothing to hide about this." Luo Baiyuan thought for a moment and said honestly, "Master Mogu is the youngest son of the current leader of the Yin Gui Dao, Fu Xie. His real name is 'Hu Qi'."

"Among all of Fu Xie's children, this one has the highest aptitude for cultivation, but also has the most stubborn temperament."

"He once publicly slandered the Yin Gui Dao's sect system as being too weak, and the news even reached the ears of the White Bone Demon, who severely reprimanded the Fuxie Sect Master."

Was he deliberately defiling himself? Was he trying to dispel his brothers' suspicions and show that he had no intention of inheriting the throne? Xu Yinglian began to speculate.

"Too weak? What does that mean?" Qiu Changtian asked curiously.

"You should have all heard of the sect system of the Yin Gui Dao, right?" Luo Baiyuan frowned and said, "They implement an extremely cruel elite competition system. Regardless of the disciples' master, they are all divided into two categories based on their combat power."

"Among the elite disciples, those at the Foundation Establishment stage are called 'Judges', and those at the Golden Core stage are called 'Palace Masters'. Anyone who can enter the ranks of Judges and Palace Masters will receive preferential support from the sect's resources."

"Isn't this normal?" Xu Yinglian asked curiously, "Even in Kunlun, we have inner and outer disciples."

"It's different." Luo Baiyuan shook his head and said, "The inner and outer disciples of our Kunlun are divided according to the disciples' cultivation qualifications."

"Their judges and hall masters' teams are qualified according to their fighting skills, and they have to fight every now and then. The fierce ones advance, and the gentle ones retreat."

"The Immortal Sword Ranking of the Shangqing Sect of Shushan was originally modeled after the 'Yanluo Ranking' of the Yin Gui Dao. However, Shushan only rewards the top swordsmen on the Immortal Sword Ranking, and those who fail to make the list will not be punished."

"However, in the Yin Ghost Dao, if you cannot make it onto the Yama List, or become a judge or hall master, not only will your cultivation resources be limited, but your master will also give up on training you, which is almost equivalent to losing hope in the Dao... Therefore, the fierce competition within the sect is incomparable to that of ordinary sects."

"When Demon Bone Master was at the Foundation Establishment Stage, he publicly claimed that this system was called 'Survival of the Fittest', but in reality, it was a disguised way of handing over the power of the sect to the elders. Because the elders can focus resources on their favorite disciples, these disciples can quickly become stronger and are more likely to become judges and hall masters than other disciples. As a result, others will never be able to make a name for themselves."

Xu Yinglian was silent for a moment, and then showed an expression that said "is there anything wrong with this?"

In her opinion, it is natural for a master to decide how to train his apprentice based on his qualifications.

The Yin Gui Dao uses "fighting strength" to decide how many resources to distribute for cultivation, which has to some extent destroyed the tradition of "master-disciple inheritance". As a result, this demon bone jumped out and said "the confiscation is not enough" and "it is best if the master cannot interfere in the training of the apprentice at all", which is simply a heretical act.

However, Qiu Changtian could fully understand what Master Mo Gu meant.

For example, if the master-disciple inheritance system of the orthodox religion is like the ancient "poetry and books passed down from generation to generation" and "education monopolized by aristocratic families", then the Yin Gui Dao has some innovative meanings of "imperial examination system" and "selection based on talent" in it.

What Mo Gu claimed was that the imperial examination system itself was not fair, because some people could afford to study and were born with a higher starting point than others.

If we go deeper in this direction, it will fall into the category of "universal literacy" and "compulsory education", which will definitely far surpass the previous two in terms of progressive thinking.

"In short," Luo Baiyuan continued, "when this matter reached the White Bone Demon, his father was scolded."

"Mo Gu was reprimanded by his father, but he still refused to accept the reprimand, so he simply withdrew from the ranks of judges and began to form cliques and factions among the non-Judge disciples to build up his power."

"About sixty or seventy years later, he brought his own followers to challenge the elite disciples of the Judges again. As a result, he won more than he lost, and replaced half of the Judges' team at that time."

Qiu Changtian: ...

So it turns out to be a plot of counterattack and slapping someone in the face, right?

Didn't you, the Yin Gui Dao, say that there was nothing wrong with the original system? Only elite disciples could enter the ranks of judges?

This guy Mo Gu, together with his non-Judge disciples, defeated half of the Judge's elite disciples, which was enough to prove that the former was stronger than the latter.

Then the reason why the former failed to become a judge must be that there was something wrong with the system of the Yin Gui Dao!

Just by listening to what Luo Baiyuan said, Qiu Changtian could imagine how aggrieved the top leaders of the Yin Gui Dao were at that time, and they openly slapped his father, the head of the Fuxie Sect, and the Venerable Bai Gu in the face.

In short, this Demon Bone Master is definitely a troublemaker, and I will have to remind my junior sister to be careful in dealing with him later.

The palace of True Lord Jiuhua was right next to that of True Lord Liandu, so the three of them arrived there quickly.

"Let's go." Xu Yinglian looked at the hall in front and said calmly.

Qiu Changtian followed Junior Sister Xu into the hall and saw that everyone in the hall was sitting upright, except for Master Mo Gu, who was lying in front of the table with a surly and unruly look.

"Oh, are you here to spy on the enemy?" He said lazily when he saw the three Kunlun masters stand up.

"You can come over to investigate us, but we can't come over to investigate?" Xu Yinglian said with a frown.

"No." Demon Bone Master said simply.

Xu Yinglian was startled when he heard this, and saw two demon masters suddenly picked up a table and rushed over. They forced the three people out of the hall without saying a word, and sealed the door of the hall with the table.

Kunlun people: ...

"If you want to force your way in, just use your magic to blast us in!" The wild laughter of Demon Bone Master came from inside, "Don't worry, we will definitely not fight back!"

"Isn't this a scumbag!" Xu Yinglian looked at Qiu Changtian in disbelief.

"Junior sister... why are you looking at me?" Qiu Changtian was puzzled.

"Brother, how do you think we should deal with this situation?" Xu Yinglian said angrily.

"It's definitely impossible to break in by force." Qiu Changtian replied, "Look, there's a demon master using his body to support the table from behind."

"If I use Taoism to forcibly blast my way in, I will inevitably cause harm to this person, and that would violate the rule of 'no violence'."

"I have never seen such a shameless person!" Xu Yinglian gritted his teeth.

"However, although we cannot use Taoist magic to break into the door, some reconnaissance Taoist magic can still be used." Qiu Changtian reminded.

Xu Yinglian also calmed down, pondered for a moment, then stretched out his hand and pinched the Taoist formula, and then several flaming birds appeared in his palm, fluttered into the air and flapped their wings, and soon turned into tiny sparks and flew towards the direction of the hall.
