Over the past two hundred years, Xiaoyun Temple has undergone tremendous changes, which can only be described as earth-shaking.
In the past two hundred years, Xiaoyun Temple has not taken action frequently, but it has eliminated nearly a hundred sects of all sizes. Half of their resources were swallowed up, carefully digested, and used to cultivate the core disciples of the sects.
After two hundred years of careful development, even with the entire sect adopting a "steady and slow" approach to cultivation, the disciples of Xiaoyun Temple have already passed down nine generations.
Taking Su Lin himself as one generation, there are eight more generations of disciples after him. This only counts the inheritance of inner disciples; outer disciples are not included in this statistic.
This is because the Xiaoyun Temple has a mature cultivation system and Taoist philosophy, and the realm division of each generation of disciples is very clear.
As for the ninth-generation disciples, they have only recently entered the sect. With their excellent talent and outstanding ideological awareness, they are qualified to enter the inner sect. Their cultivation level is generally around the Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment stages, and some disciples are even worse than the outer sect disciples.
But its strength lies in its steadfast ideology! It has an extremely high level of identification with Su Lin and Xiaoyun Temple!
These disciples are very few from the outer sect; they are all direct descendants of inner and outer sect disciples born in the last two hundred years.
Whether it was due to their family background or the atmosphere of the Xiaoyun Temple, they were influenced and baptized by the cultivation philosophy of Xiaoyun Temple from the youngest age, making them the most core members of the good families of Xiaoyun Temple!
The purity of thought is the sole standard and threshold for all inner disciples!
All other requirements can be relaxed a bit, but this one is absolutely a high standard!
Above the ninth generation of inner disciples, the eighth and seventh generation disciples are mostly at the Foundation Establishment stage. They are of the same generation as the ninth generation disciples or one generation higher (due to kinship). They are mostly disciples who entered the sect earlier.
Starting with the sixth, fifth, and fourth generation disciples, these disciples came from various sects and garrison offices of Xiaoyun Temple. They had an average cultivation level of Golden Core and were the backbone of Xiaoyun Temple.
Their masters and parents were among the earliest inner disciples of Xiaoyun Temple, having grown up over the past two hundred years and mostly assigned to various core positions within the temple.
These stewards, who were once inner disciples, have an average cultivation level of Nascent Soul and are third-generation disciples, with a small number being second-generation disciples.
Above them are the first generation of disciples, mainly composed of Su Lin's personal and nominal disciples, Xu Zhenshu's disciples, and Lu Zhouming's disciples. They hold more important positions in Xiaoyun Temple, and some have been promoted to the position of sect elders. They have made solid contributions and achievements to Xiaoyun Temple.
The cultivation levels of these first-generation disciples were almost all above the Nascent Soul stage, and two of them were even prodigies who broke through to the Void Transformation stage after more than two hundred years of cultivation, becoming high-level combat forces of Xiaoyun Temple.
This is not a Void Realm cultivator seeking a quick breakthrough, but a Void Realm cultivator following Su Lin's principle of "seeking slowness" in cultivation. Their foundation is incredibly solid, making them stronger than cultivators of the same realm!
The first generation of Xiaoyun Temple consisted of core members such as Su Lin and Xu Zhenshu.
It is worth mentioning that during these two hundred years of cultivation, Su Lin's own cultivation breakthroughs have been slow, stopping at the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage, and he has yet to step into the Deity Transformation stage.
In contrast, the other members, even some of the survivors with less talent, have already begun to catch up with Su Lin's progress.
Xu Zhenshu, who is more suited to the cultivation system, has officially reached the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul realm, even though he is constantly distracted by sect affairs, which is a whole major realm higher than Su Lin.
It must be said that Xiaoyun Temple has always maintained its unique characteristics: a family full of geniuses who surpass even the temple master!
If you randomly pick a few of his senior disciples, their cultivation levels are no lower than Su Lin's. In particular, none of his former personal disciples and nominal disciples have a cultivation level lower than the Nascent Soul stage.
As for Wang Qingyue, the former first disciple who was taken in by Su Lin as a follower, although he was far away in Tianya Mountain, news came not long ago that he had already reached the Integration Stage.
Honestly, two hundred years is but a fleeting moment in the world of cultivation. Their achievements truly live up to the name of Su Lin's disciples.
On the contrary, their master cultivated at a snail's pace, never in a hurry or impatient, and rarely showed his combat power.
Fortunately, the sect's ideological atmosphere at Xiaoyun Temple was excellent. No one felt there would be any problem with a Nascent Soul sect leader leading everyone. Su Lin was more of a spiritual totem to everyone, and his own cultivation level was not so important.
At the disciple level, Xiaoyun Temple has truly mastered its own high-end combat power in the past two hundred years. Even though it still has transactions with the Eight Sects, it has largely broken free from its dependence on the Tian Shu cultivators.
Aside from its rapid development at the disciple level, Xiaoyun Temple has made steady progress in all other aspects, including territory, cave dwellings, residences, and cultivation techniques.
It is worth mentioning the cultivation techniques and resources, as these two aspects are directly related to the strength and foundation of Xiaoyun Temple.
In terms of cultivation techniques, Su Lin's own techniques used in the game were limited to the Nascent Soul stage. All the techniques above the Nascent Soul stage relied on the inheritance of the destroyed sects and the benefits given by the Eight Great Immortal Sects.
To put it bluntly, Xiaoyun Temple faces two difficulties in cultivating its techniques:
1. Use the inherited methods of all sects under heaven, but these are not the methods of immortal sects, not the world's top methods. They can cope in the short term, but in the long run, they are not in line with the interests of Xiaoyun Temple.
2. Use the higher-level Dao techniques bestowed by the Eight Great Immortal Sects. These techniques are the world's top-level and are indeed the optimal solution. However, the Dao techniques that the Eight Great Immortal Sects openly bestow upon Xiaoyun Temple are either very low-level or incomplete and limited. How can they practice with these?
Both of these difficulties are hard to solve.
