Silver Bamboo Sect
The founder of the Silver Bamboo Sect was True Man Xuan Yang, who established the sect almost a hundred years ago. This True Man Xuan Yang seemed to have a great fondness for rain.
White rain reflects on the cold mountains, densely packed like silver bamboo.
His story spread far and wide, and everyone in the cultivation world knew his name.
Qi Yuan had heard from the elders long ago about the great achievements of True Man Xuan Yang. He was a great hero in the entire cultivation world.
More than a hundred years ago, the entire continent was simply and crudely divided into two races.
Humans and evil races. The evil races are now known as the Demon Realm, Ghost Realm, and Monster Race.
The leader of the evil race, Jin Yuejun, was an old acquaintance of Xuan Yang Zhenren. As a result, Xuan Yang Zhenren was scorned by the world for several years, who said that he, as a high-level cultivator, was associating with evil beings.
At that time, there was actually no conflict or entanglement between the evil race and the human race. It was just that the human race looked down on the evil race, which aroused the dissatisfaction of the evil race. As a result, the relationship between the two races gradually deteriorated.
No cultivator knew what kind of demon Yin Guijun was.
However, Yin Guijun, one of Jin Yuejun's subordinates, was no benevolent figure; he was an utterly wicked demon. As a result, Yin Guijun's reputation was also affected by him, and he was portrayed as a great devil.
When Yin Guijun went missing, Yin Guijun launched a war between the human and evil races and broke the seal of the legendary Demon Array. With the immense power of the Demon Array, he almost destroyed the entire human race.
At this moment, True Man Xuanyang appeared like a savior. His cultivation had reached the peak of the Mahayana stage, making him the strongest person in the cultivation world at that time. He was only one step away from ascending to godhood.
He not only killed Yin Guijun and repelled the evil race, but also resealed the demon array while enduring fifteen lightning tribulations. He survived the tribulation at the last moment and ascended to heaven in golden light.
Xuan Yang Zhenren was the first and only cultivator in the cultivation world to ascend to immortality. Since then, the Silver Bamboo Sect he founded has become well-known to the world.
Jin Yuejun never appeared again after that, as if he had vanished into thin air.
Speaking of this sect, when True Master Xuan Yang founded it, not many people were willing to join. He generously accepted three personal disciples, one of whom is the current sect master, Yun Xingjun.
After Xuan Yang Zhenren ascended to immortality, Yun Xingjun assumed the position of sect leader.
The other two direct disciples of Master Xuanyang were Jinyan Jun and Huiguang Jun.
These two senior uncles traveled extensively throughout the year, and even though they prayed, they only met briefly once.
The Silver Bamboo Sect has five peaks, all named by True Person Xuan Yang. Currently, these five peaks belong to five personal disciples, while other outer and inner disciples reside on one of the five peaks and are under the jurisdiction of the peak master.
The great flood destroyed the city walls, and the torrential rain poured into the river.
The eldest disciple, Qi Yuan, resides on Honglin Peak.
Jade poles and silver ropes pour over the water, their power and fury surpassing heaven and earth.
The second disciple, Ye Hanyun, resides on Silver Cable Peak.
I long for a three-foot drop of sweet rain to nourish the world, and watch as a wisp of idle cloud rises.
The third disciple, Yunqing, lived on Ganlin Peak.
The evening rain, though fine, cannot clear; earthworms chirp among the grass on the pond's edge.
The fourth disciple, Ye Munian, lived on Lianxian Peak.
At midnight, the sky is bright; a cup of Lingze wine brings forth a myriad of blessings.
The fifth disciple, Xie Juxing, resided at Lingze Peak.
Silver Bamboo, Flood Rain, Silver Rope, Sweet Rain, Cleansing Thread, Spiritual Dew. It seems that True Man Xuan Yang truly has a special fondness for rain.
Yun Xingjun had never taken on a personal disciple in nearly a hundred years until he met Qi Yuan, after which he took on five disciples in one go.
Now, however, Yun Qing has defected, and Xie Juxing has become a puppet.
During the year Yun Qing was in seclusion, Ganlin Peak and Lingze Peak, which had been missing for half a year, were managed by Ye Hanyun and Ye Munian. The two seemed carefree, but they were actually very responsible in their management.
Why not let Qi Yuan manage it? It's because she often goes out to take on commissions, and Hong Linfeng entrusts it to two other people when she's not around.
There are four elders in the Silver Bamboo Sect, and they are all busy dealing with Yun Qing's affairs at this time.
Sect Master Yun Xingjun lives on the main peak, but no disciple has ever entered his room. Even his most beloved disciple, Qi Yuan, does not know what is inside.
Lu Wenxing looked at Hong Linfeng and exclaimed in surprise, "Then your grandmaster really loves rain. The Silver Bamboo Sect is in the style of the Huizhou School, it looks so beautiful."
"I promised to take you to visit the Silver Bamboo Sect last time. The Willow Palace Sect is also very grand." Qi Yuan led the way.
Ye Hanyun had just come down from Silver Chain Peak and saw the two of them, calling out, "Senior Sister! Senior Brother Lu!"
He smiled happily: "It's the beginning of the year now, and the New Year is just around the corner. After the snow falls, Silver Bamboo Village will be even more beautiful."
"You're still pretending to be so noble! Every time it snows, all you do is throw snowballs at me!" Ye Munian jumped out to expose him.
Ye Hanyun was furious and jumped up, pointing at him: "You didn't hit me? Doesn't that make you laugh?"
"You two even knocked my cultivation technique away when you had a snowball fight last year." Qi Yuan's face darkened.
Ye Munian and Ye Hanyun guiltily shut their mouths.
"I envy you all so much. The Silver Bamboo Sect feels so warm and welcoming, and the relationship between you all is wonderful," Lu Wenxing remarked.
"How can we have a good relationship?" Ye Munian and Ye Hanyun said in unison, glaring at each other.
Qi Yuan asked in confusion, "Senior Brother Lu, why do you say that? What happened to Liu Gongzong?"
Lu Wenxing sighed and lowered his eyes: "Our Liugong Sect is a new sect and not very strong. Originally, we were not allowed to participate in the sect competition. However, I happened to defeat a demonic cultivator while traveling and my reputation spread. Just then, a disciple of the Wanlu Sect defected, and the sect leaders made a decisive decision to let our sect take the place of the Wanlu Sect."
"Then what about the disciples of your sect..." Ye Hanyun asked.
“We are a small sect with seventeen direct disciples and thirty inner disciples, but no outer disciples,” Lu Wenxing said calmly.
"What? Seventeen direct disciples? Thirty inner disciples and not even outer disciples!" Ye Munian exclaimed in disbelief, but shut his mouth under Qi Yuan's gaze.
Lu Wenxing: "The strength of our sect's direct disciples is not as good as that of your inner disciples. Cui Que is the strongest among the remaining sixteen direct disciples, so the sect leader sent the two of us."
Qi Yuan asked, "With such great strength, why don't you choose to join a major sect, instead of staying in the Willow Palace Sect which has no future?"
"The sect leader saved my life. To repay him, I joined the Willow Palace Sect," he said earnestly.
"I'm so glad."
"What's there to be thankful for?"
"I'm so glad I was able to participate in this sect competition and meet you all. I had no friends in the Willow Palace Sect, but I made several friends at the sect competition, including the three of you," Lu Wenxing said softly.
The three were taken aback. Qi Yuan then asked, "You are the strongest person in the Willow Palace Sect, so why don't you have any friends..."
“I am a Nascent Soul cultivator, while the other disciples are at the Qi Refining or Foundation Establishment stages. Even the sect leader’s cultivation level is not as high as mine, only reaching the Golden Core stage. I tried very hard to integrate into their group, but the disciples ignored me and always said that someone like me shouldn’t join them. I was actually treated as an outcast.”
Qi Yuan suddenly remembered that the reason she asked Lu Wenxing for directions when she first met him was because all the other disciples in the sect were in groups, while Lu Wenxing was standing alone.
It turns out that the so-called dark horse was not Liu Gongzong, but Lu Wenxing.
She blurted out, "But we will always be your friends. You can rely on us too. If you are lonely or sad, you can come to the Silver Bamboo Sect to find us anytime."
Ye Hanyun's tone was serious, and her expression was no longer as playful as before: "You can treat the Silver Bamboo Sect as your own sect."
“We are not only your friends, but also your family,” Ye Munian said.
Lu Wenxing stood there stunned for a long time before laughing out loud: "Thank you."
He turned around, his shoulders trembling slightly. Qi Yuan tilted her head and saw that Lu Wenxing was crying.
*
In the past century, following the passing of Master Xuanyang, the mainland has undergone tremendous changes.
The human race hasn't changed much. Although it's collectively referred to as the Human Realm, the Human Realm and the Cultivation Realm are still counted separately.
The main one is the Evil Clan. Although their name means "evil clan," it's only because they are evil. Before Jin Yuejun, the Evil Clan had never actually done anything bad.
Since the human and evil races fought a great war and the evil race was defeated, their leader, Jin Yuejun, disappeared. The evil race was thrown into chaos and developed huge divisions.
Just as the members of the evil race were wavering, the current Demon Lord, Xing Guijun, appeared. He volunteered to become the new Demon Lord and regain control of the evil race. Because of his high cultivation level, many demons supported him in revitalizing the evil race.
The demons and ghosts were not happy about this, arguing that they were both evil races, and how could the two Demon Lords both be demons and not demons and ghosts?
The three races had different lifestyles, appearances, and abilities. After a big fight, the evil race split into three realms: the Demon Realm, the Ghost Realm, and the Monster Realm.
The Demon Lord has been the Demon Lord since then. Demon Lords and Demon Kings have come and gone, but the Demon Lord has remained unchanged.
The Ghost Realm elected a powerful Di Ming as its Ghost King, while the Demon Realm had never had a king for decades. Eventually, the Ghost Realm annexed the Demon Realm, resulting in the current three realms of humans, ghosts, and demons.
The human realm has little fighting power; in times of real crisis, it relies on high-level cultivators and major sects in the cultivation world. Therefore, even though the human realm does not have a definite "king," it has not repeated the fate of the demon realm by being swallowed up.
In recent years, the Demon Realm and the Ghost Realm have been in turmoil, even affecting the Human Realm. The cultivation world has seen a surge in defectors. Take the Silver Bamboo Sect, for example; Elder Shen from back then is now Yun Qing.
The Silver Bamboo Sect has attracted a large number of disciples since its founder was born, and many talented young people have emerged in recent years, most of whom are direct disciples of major sects.
When Yun Xingjun became the sect leader, he was only in his twenties. At that time, people questioned whether he was worthy of being Xuan Yang Zhenren's successor. When everyone discovered that Ruan Yiyun had already reached the early stage of the Void Refinement realm, they were shocked and their doubts were dispelled.
Qi Yuan, as the future third-generation sect leader, did not disappoint the cultivation world. When she was twelve years old and announced her identity as the successor, she was already at the Golden Core stage, even more talented than Yun Xingjun and Xuan Yang Zhenren back then.
Thus, the name Qi Yuan became well-known in the cultivation world.
Nangong Xu of the Lingjian Sect, Ye Ting of the Shuiling Sect, Song Yu of the Yuejin Sect...
These young boys and girls, like Qi Yuan, are the focus of attention throughout the cultivation world.
They were only teenagers, yet they determined the future of the cultivation world.
Everyone says that the next Great War of the Three Realms is coming in a few years. At that time, the cultivation world will only be able to rely on these geniuses.
So they trained even harder, just to prove themselves.
