The Gracious Sword Sect had nine peaks that stood perfectly straight.
The nine peaks rose straight from level ground, like nine sharp swords that shot into the sky.
These nine peaks were also called the Gracious Sword Sect's nine great sword peaks.
Among them, the First Peak was the main peak, and it was the most towering sword peak that had a grand imposing manner.
The other eight sword peaks were spread around the First Peak, like a host of lesser stars around the leading star, surrounding First Peak in the middle….
'Only on this peak are the clouds so deep that one does not know where one is….' Ye Tian Yun remembered the cultivator's introduction of the Gracious Sword Sect at the Inn in Xin-Wu Battlefront, then he gazed from afar at the nine sword peaks that had clouds coiled around them. His heart was filled with excitement, as a Crown Prince of the Great Ye Empire, he didn't even need to join any sect, even in his life before rebirth.
This was the Gracious Sword Sect?
"There seems to be something stopping the surrounding eight sword peak's connection to the first Peak…." Ye Tian Yun's eyes were sharp and noticed the scene when the clouds and mist cleared away.
When the clouds and mist cleared away, it could be seen that above the eight sword peaks surrounding First Peak was indeed a thing that was similar to a black-colored chain that connected to First Peak.
'The First Peak is the main peak of Gracious Sword Sect and has a path to ascend the peak among the nine great sword peaks of Gracious Sword Sect. The other eight sword peaks didn't possess a path to ascend the peak, so unless one is an existence at the Core Formation Stage, they can't climb the other eight sword peaks.'
Ye Tian Yun recalled everything he heard at the Inn, 'So if I want to ascend the other eight sword peaks, then I must pass through the First Peak and use the chain bridges to enter them."
Ye Tian Yun came to a sudden understanding, 'So in this way, there's only one path to ascend to the peak of this Gracious Sword Sect, and that is the path up the First Peak….The defense of this sect can be called really good.'
With only one path, it was completely possible for one man to hold the pass and hold back all the enemy forces!
Coupled with the hidden forces of the Gracious Sword Sect, even if the Xin Kingdom's Royal Army was to personally come here, they might not be able to obtain any benefit.
In next to no time, Ye Tian Yun arrived at the foot of one of the sword peaks.
The part of the sword peak that was immersed in the ground was incomparably precipitous, and one couldn't see the end of it with a glance.
"Such a precipitous cliff; Even a Peak Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator, probably wouldn't be able to ascend it." Ye Tian Yun couldn't help but say his words out loud as he sighed with emotion.
The closer he got to the main peak, the more people he could see.
The young men and women, who included mostly Outer Court Disciples, and few Inner Court Disciples, were moving in and out of the First Peak, the only entrance to the Gracious Sword Sect.
The Gracious Sword Sect's entrance had a height of over ten meters, and on it were three large words carved exquisitely….
Gracious Sword Sect!
"These…." With just a glance, Ye Tian Yun was attracted by these three large words.
Even though he didn't study calligraphy, he was able to discern that these three large words were carved by a sword cultivating expert with a single swing of his sword. They were like words of nature that didn't have any flaws.
Among the sects in the Xin Kingdom, sects that could be called top sects ordinarily had five or more Peak Core Formation Realm cultivators within the sect, and there was no lack of existences at Lower Levels of Core Formation Realm cultivators.
Below the top sects were first-rate sects. There were ordinarily one or two Core Formation Realm cultivators within these sects, and the strongest would ordinarily be at the 3rd Level of the Core Formation Realm.
Below that were the second-rate sects. They didn't have Core Formation Realm, and the difference between them and third-rate sects was the quantity and quality of Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators.
Below the third-rate sects were some unrated sects.
These unrated sects ordinarily only had one or two Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators, and in terms of strength, there was not much difference between them and the various clans of the Xin Kingdom. This did not include the Four Big Clans and the Royal Clan.
Though the First Peak was the entrance to the sect, it was also the most important peak in terms of status. The cultivation locations in the main peak belong to Gracious Sword Sect higher-ups and the inner court disciples.
The Second Peak was the home to the Alchemists. There resided many of the finest alchemists of the Xin Kingdom.
The Third and Fourth peaks were semi attached and this was where the female disciples resided.
The last five Peaks were where the male Outer Court Disciples resided.
...
Fang Chen was an Outer Court Disciple of the Seventh Peak at Gracious Sword Sect.
Outer court disciples. They were the ones that did the hard and thankless tasks. Not only were their positions lowest in the school, but they were also even looked down upon by outsiders.
