Gao Yan was stunned for two seconds before saying, "Master, you're not joking. Didn't you say that cultivators at the Great Emperor level live in seclusion and that the strongest are only Saint Realm experts? Our Nine Saints Sect has at least nine Saint Realm experts, how could we only be a second-rate sect?"
Xiao Lingyue continued, "The strongest forces are called Great Emperor lineages. These Great Emperor lineages not only possess the inheritance of Emperor Scriptures, but also Emperor Weapons to suppress destiny. As you know, even within the same realm, the difference in combat power is significant depending on the level of the cultivation technique. Our Saint Realm ancestor cultivates Saint-level techniques, so the gap between him and a Saint Realm cultivator who has cultivated Emperor Scriptures is considerable. Moreover, although the Great Emperors of those Great Emperor lineages have gone into seclusion, they have left behind avatars to guard their sects. A Great Emperor avatar, although not a true Great Emperor, can easily kill three to five Saint Realm cultivators with a single slap."
A first-rate power slightly weaker than the Great Emperor's lineage, although it does not have a Great Emperor, its sect still has the Imperial Scripture inheritance, and it has more than one hundred Saint Realm experts.
The next second-rate forces must have at least three Saint Realm experts in charge.
Although our Nine Saints Sect has nine Saint Realm experts, in the Central Continent, we are only slightly stronger than ordinary second-rate sects.
At this point, a look of worry appeared on Xiao Lingyue's face.
Gao Yan, on the other hand, was secretly relieved.
Fortunately, he offered the token to the sect; otherwise, if the people from Zhongzhou came knocking on his door, he wouldn't have gotten a single hair!
"Master, how many top-tier and first-rate sects are there in Zhongzhou?" Gao Yan asked again.
"There are five top-tier sects: Yin Yang Holy Land, Ten Thousand Immortals Holy Land, Taiyin Holy Land, Ten Thousand Demons Holy Land, and Zhou Tian Holy Land. There are twelve first-rate sects: ... As for second-rate sects, there are hundreds of them, large and small!"
Hearing this, Gao Yan felt a chill run down his spine: "What should we do when they come knocking on our door?"
"What else can we do? We'll choose a faction, hand over our tokens, and try to secure some spots!"
Xiao Lingyue said with a wry smile, "After all, the Creation Emperor is one of the strongest emperors throughout history. His legacy is extremely important. We're lucky if we can get a share. If we get too greedy, we might end up destroying our sect!"
