One of the most well-known rules is the rule for Xiaoyun Temple to recruit disciples.
In the past six months, outstanding mortal disciples from various places have been sent out of the temple for further study. Strangely enough, Xiaoyun Temple does not like to accept disciples from cultivation families or independent cultivators. Instead, it only accepts mortal disciples with good talent.
As long as one is an ordinary person, it doesn't matter if one's aptitude is a little lacking. As long as one's family background is clean, one can easily enter the Xiaoyun Temple. There are no trivial matters such as aptitude tests or having to go through back channels and give gifts.
While Xiaoyun Temple has a peculiar habit of accepting disciples, its conditions are exceptionally lenient and generous. Many talented people from the mortal world, upon hearing of this, travel great distances to come and join them.
For these mortals, the world of cultivation is incredibly cruel; mortals are like real cattle and livestock, unable to resist their fate.
The only hope for turning things around is to undergo a complete transformation, from a mortal to a cultivator; that is the only way to survive.
In the past, the difficulty for an ordinary person to become a cultivator was no less than the difficulty for an ordinary survivor in a B-level match.
However, after the emergence of Xiaoyun Temple, the difficulty was greatly reduced, and it was regarded as a source of hope by many ordinary families. No matter how difficult or painful it was, they would try to find a way to get their children into Xiaoyun Temple.
In less than six months, the number of mortal disciples of Xiaoyun Temple has exceeded 50,000!
Keep in mind that this is even with Xiaoyun Temple already being quite selective, at least there's a requirement for [cultivation aptitude] as a threshold. If there were no threshold at all, the number of disciples would be even more terrifying!
Of course, these 50,000 people are all outer disciples, and their [Foundation Establishment Period] is determined according to their individual aptitude.
The sect provides basic cultivation resources and techniques, but if the requirements are not met by the deadline, the disciple must return home and make room for new mortal disciples.
This act seemed heartless to the survivors, but to the mortal disciples it was an immense act of kindness, worthy of kneeling in gratitude.
They never had the opportunity to cultivate immortal arts. Even if they had the best aptitude, they still needed good fortune. And good fortune was just a matter of who the immortals liked. It was rare for them to select a few good talents from among mortals in thousands of years.
Xiaoyun Temple's actions are incredibly fair to ordinary people!
The opportunity is yours; compete based on your individual abilities!
Even if you're not as talented as others, you won't regret it. At least you've realized you're not cut out for this, and you can only blame yourself for not being as talented.
For disciples with truly outstanding aptitude, Xiaoyun Temple will continue to support them and invest more resources, and will never belittle or waste anyone's aptitude because of their mortal status.
The direct result of these sect's educational rules is that everyone becomes a paper king!
The entire Xiaoyun Temple has 50,000 disciples, and every single one of them is a top scholar!
Every day before the rooster crows, he inhales and exhales the night dew, waiting for the rising sun to cultivate his inner energy.
Every night around midnight, most people are still awake, waiting for that wisp of the extreme yin energy of heaven and earth to temper their bodies.
According to Huang Yi's statistics, the longest these mortal disciples slept was no more than three hours! The shortest was even less than one hour!
On average, at least 20 mortal disciples die suddenly each month due to excessive intense cultivation and staying up all night!
Keep in mind that these are mortals who are cultivating the Dao, and their aptitudes are all excellent. Even if they haven't reached the Foundation Establishment stage yet, some of them have already reached the Qi Refining stage. Within the scope of the martial arts system, they are all first-class experts!
Have you ever heard of a top expert dying from staying up all night? That's absolutely impossible!
But the truth is, this happens almost every day at Xiaoyun Temple, which shows how brutal the cultivation process is for these mortal disciples! It's almost reached an outrageous level of infighting!
This data is so outrageous that even Su Lin was alarmed!
More than twenty geniuses in the mortal realm can die suddenly in a single month?
He's clearly very talented, so why is he so ruthless to himself?
To be honest, Su Lin considered himself a scroll king, but compared to these mortal disciples, he was truly a nobody.
They were truly willing to risk their lives; even if it meant death, they wanted to seize this opportunity to cultivate!
What's wrong with being a genius?
The world has no shortage of geniuses!
As you can see, even a once-in-a-century genius in the mortal realm barely has the chance to enter a rogue sect, and a once-in-a-millennium genius in the mortal realm barely has the chance to enter the Heavenly Pivot Organization.
Only the most exceptional geniuses, one in ten thousand years, can set foot in one of the nine great immortal sects, but even then, the highest level they can achieve is only an inner disciple, or, with good luck, a sect steward.
Reality is just that cruel!
This world is not lacking in geniuses. As long as there are enough resources, even cultivators with slightly inferior aptitude can become giants in the path of immortality.
Why would powerful immortals who already hold high positions and control all the world's resources cultivate mortal geniuses who have nothing to do with them?
Is it to create competitors for my descendants? Or is it to hand over the empire my clan has built to strangers in the future?
Even if the aptitude of my clan's Dao children is poor, they are still more worthy of cultivation than ordinary people!
Whoever has power, strength, and resources has the right to speak and can easily determine the direction of the entire world.
The so-called talent of ordinary people is nothing more than being able to achieve greater success with less resources; but if there is no one to guide them and no resources available, having a lot of talent is nothing more than a lifetime of resentment at being unappreciated.
Looking at the very long term, everything related to power will eventually move from public ownership to privatization.
Just like imperial dynasties and conglomerates, regardless of their size, they all do this. This is the essence of human nature and an inevitable historical trend that no human being can avoid.
But Xiaoyun Temple is different!
Xiaoyun Temple was merely a stepping stone for Su Lin in this confrontation; it was a temporary power structure.
