Immortal and Martial Dual Cultivation

Chapter 651: Inner and Outer Sects; Two Different Treatments

“Situ Gang, this fellow cultivates his body. Use some of your real strength. Otherwise, the others will think that we battle-realm disciples are weak,” a battle-realm cultivator behind Situ Gang suggested loudly with gleaming eyes.

---

Ten kilometers in the sky, the two true inheritors that received Xiao Chen and others watched what was happening below with interest.

Chen Xiao smiled slightly and said indifferently, “Wang Cheng, these lower-realm people are more interesting than we thought.”

The youth called Wang Cheng said, “I nearly misjudged this Xiao Chen. Although his cultivation is not high, he cultivates both Quintessence and his body. His strength is not that simple.”

Chen Xiao looked around and said, “Senior Brother Wang, do you think any of these lower-realm geniuses will be able to become true inheritors?”

Wang Cheng entered into deep thought. Then, he said, “I noticed at least ten people with pretty good talent. This is especially so for that battle realm’s Situ Gang. His cultivation is vast and deep; none of the others can compare to him. If he enters into a berserk state, he would only be even more terrifying.

“However, it is hard to say whether he can become a true inheritor. Let’s see if he can deal with the intense competition between the five great factions in the inner sect first.”

A disciple flew down from the inner city above and arrived before the two. He bowed respectfully and then handed over an official document. “Senior Brothers, the elders have finished their discussion on the allocation of the inner and outer disciples.”

Chen Xiao received the official document and said, “Unexpectedly, they discussed for quite a long time. However, the results are finally out. If I had to wait any longer, I would have run out of patience.”

Wang Cheng smiled gently and said, “That is normal. The inner disciples and outer disciples receive very different treatment. I’m already surprised that they managed to decide so fast.”

The two casually looked through the official document, then slowly descended towards the courtyard, preparing to announce the information in the official document.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the courtyard was very heavy. The fanatic look in Situ Gang’s eyes turned into a wild flame as his strong aura intensified.

When the others felt it, they felt some fear and unconsciously took two steps back; they feared that they would be affected by the fight.

There had been rumors about the resulting destruction when the battle realm’s people used their real strength. No one was willing to suffer from an unexpected calamity.

On the other hand, Xiao Chen had no intention of stepping back. He continued to gather momentum. Facing a strong battle-realm expert, he was neither servile nor overbearing, merely maintaining a calm expression.

“Hu chi!”

Just when an even more intense battle was about to erupt, two vast auras suddenly broke through the clouds and appeared in the courtyard.

They descended like a vast formless sea, quickly and quietly submerging everyone.

Although Situ Gang’s strong and horrifying aura was compelling, it was not even worth mentioning before this vast sea. Soon, it was drowned out and vanished.

Everyone immediately looked over and saw Chen Xiao and Wang Cheng on top of the wall. At some point in time, they had arrived and now stood on the wall.

“It’s the true inheritors!”

Immediately, someone recognized their identity. All the waiting cultivators immediately revealed an expression of yearning. Everyone was astonished at the strength the two exhibited.

Just by using this aura, these two were able to defuse the situation. Even the temperamental Situ Gang did not dare to lose his temper.

Seeing everyone remaining silent, Chen Xiao nodded slightly. Then, he said calmly, “Very good, you still understand some propriety. Right now, we will be announcing who will be entering the inner sect and the outer sect.”

Hearing this, everyone perked up their ears. Inner sect and outer sect only differed by one word; however, the treatment they receive differed like heaven and earth.

Hoping to be assigned to the inner sect, everyone had looks of anticipation as they waited quietly.

Wang Cheng, at the side, held up the official document and said, “I will only read out the names of those assigned to the inner sect. Those whose names I do not read are naturally outer sect disciples.”

As Wang Cheng read out the names, several people revealed joyful smiles. Those whose names were not read out waited anxiously in anticipation.

Without waiting for long, Xiao Chen heard his own name. He relaxed slightly in his heart.

Yue Chenxi and Gong Yangyu did not hear their names read out. Although they had already expected this, it was hard for them to not feel disappointment. They showed forlorn expressions on their faces.

“I don’t accept this. He is only an early Inferior Grade Martial Monarch and also from the Sky Dome Realm, but he is assigned to the inner sect. I am a peak Inferior Grade Martial Monarch, but I have to climb my way up from the outer sect.”

A long-faced cultivator, whose name was not read out, pointed at Xiao Chen and shouted loudly.

After the long-faced cultivator spoke, all those other dissatisfied people, whose names were not read out, started to clamor.

There would always be some people that thought that others did not measure up to them.

Xiao Chen did not find this strange and could not be bothered about this. He merely waited to see how the two true inheritors dealt with this.

Chen Xiao and Wang Cheng did not seem surprised. Their gazes casually fell on the instigator of this matter.

“This is not fair, absolutely not fair. I want to have a match with him. I can prove that I definitely have the qualification to enter the inner sect.”

That long-faced cultivator jabbered on and on at Chen Xiao and Wang Cheng.

Wang Cheng frowned slightly and pointed at him. A dark-blue sword Qi came out of his fingertip.

That sword Qi was incredibly sharp. It treated the long-faced cultivator’s Quintessence shield as if it was nothing and pierced a small hole in his chest.

All this happened in an instant, silently and without any warning. Wang Cheng mercilessly gave this person a lesson. When the other people complaining saw this, they immediately shut up.

“Why did you injure me? I did not do anything wrong. You think you are so great as true inheritors?” the long-face cultivator said in extreme pain as he clutched his chest.

Wang Cheng did not say anything. Then, Chen Xiao moved his hands and formed a cage-like hand seal, sending it towards the long-faced cultivator.

The cage-like hand seal flickered with light and entered the long-faced cultivator’s body. His aura immediately vanished; he became like an ordinary person.

“What’s going on? Why can I not move my Quintessence?”

When the long-faced cultivator sensed the situation in his body, his face filled with horror.

Chen Xiao said expressionlessly, “As true inheritors, we naturally have the right to enforce the rules. We can immediately execute someone who despises the person the elders have chosen.

“Seeing that you are new to the Supreme Sky Sect, I will just give you a light punishment and seal your dantian for a month.”

Wang Cheng added, “As outer sect disciples, you can take a test that occurs periodically. If you truly have strength, it will not be hard to become an inner sect disciple.”

Seeing the strength of the two, no one dared to say anything else; they just kept their mouths shut.

The two jumped off the wall, and Chen Xiao said, “Inner sect disciples, follow me to the east of the city. The outer sect disciples will follow Senior Brother Wang.”

This group of about a hundred people split into two groups and headed out of the courtyard.

As they were about to leave, Yue Chenxi sincerely and gratefully said to Xiao Chen, “Senior Brother Xiao Chen, thank you for helping me out.”

Xiao Chen had risked offending a battle-realm genius to protect her, so Yue Chenxi felt indescribable gratitude to him.

He smiled slightly and said, “You are my friend. If you are in trouble, I will not sit by idly and watch. I believe that when I’m in trouble, you will come and help me as well. Do your best and work hard. I will wait for you in the inner sect. With your talent, you definitely can regain your previous pride and glory.”

Yue Chenxi nodded vigorously and said, “I definitely will.”

The two waved their hands in goodbye. After saying some words of gratitude, Gong Yangyu, who was at the side, also left.

Under Chen Xiao’s lead, the group quickly headed for the east of the city. The eastern section was extensive, but there was only one entrance.

People guarded the entrance to the east of the city. When the disciples guarding the entrance saw Chen Xiao, they immediately bowed respectfully.

“Every month, you will all receive ten thousand Superior Grade Spirit Stones and ten Inferior Grade Spirit Gathering Pearls. Every seven days, the sect elders will give a lecture, but you cannot ask questions. You will have to ask your questions in private and pay some Spirit Stones.”

After leading the group to register themselves and obtain their inner sect identity medallions, Chen Xiao explained the rules and the remunerations of inner disciples.

Be it ten thousand Superior Grade Spirit Stones or ten Inferior Grade Spirit Gathering Pearls, everyone revealed joy at the thought of them. It was impossible to receive such a treatment in a lower realm, no matter which sect.

This was especially so for Spirit Gathering Pearls. Only when there was a large number of Martial Sages could they exhaust their Source Energies to refine them.

The lectures of the elders could help them to gain enlightenment as well. Most experts would not be so kind as to tell others of their cultivation experiences.

Chen Xiao pointed to a row of simple rooms and said, “This is where you will stay. One Rank 1 Spirit Vein is shared by ten rooms. You will have to pay rent of ten thousand Superior Grade Spirit Stones every month.”

When everyone heard the first half of Chen Xiao’s words, they revealed extremely excited looks.

In the lower realms, a Rank 1 Spirit Vein was sufficient to support a large sect with more than ten thousand people. Unexpectedly, just ten inner disciples would share one here.

However, when the group heard the latter half of his words, their faces sank. They would obtain only ten thousand Superior Grade Spirit Stones every month. Just the rental alone would exhaust all of that.

They would not have any Spirit Stones left for their cultivation, buying Medicinal Pills, or going out to explore.

“So, it needs Spirit Stones. That is a little too expensive, right?”

Chen Xiao ignored everyone’s bitter complaints. He continued, “If you want to stay at a better place, you will have to pay more Spirit Stones. Then, you will be able to enjoy one Spirit Vein to yourself.

“Furthermore, everyone will have to complete missions for the sect at least once a month. However, as you are still new, you can use the first month to familiarize yourselves with the place first.”

After that came a simple question-and-answer session. After Chen Xiao answered the group’s few questions, he took his leave. Before the envious gazes of the group, he headed for the floating peak that belonged only to him.

All the rooms were quite close to each other in the residential area. The conditions were much more basic than the courtyard that Xiao Chen had in the past.

After tidying up the room, Xiao Chen sat on the bed and carefully thought about his cultivation goals.
