Only then did Yang Huang and Lan Jingyi realize that this hill called Jinchao City was the most important gathering place in the Tianwu Underworld.
The entire mountain is divided into twenty-one areas according to status. The top is the residence of the sect leader, which is always empty. At the bottom is the residence of the two chief elders, and below that is the elder with the next highest status.
The disciples of the elders all live in the same area with the elders. Within the area, rooms are also allocated based on rank and status.
"Look, the top one belongs to Master. The two caves below it are only for Class A disciples. The three caves below are for Class B disciples. The four caves below are for Class C disciples.
The next six rooms are for Ding and other disciples. You can choose whatever you want, no one lives in them anyway."
Yang Huang asked curiously: "Must we live according to the level? Can we live higher up?"
"Of course not. You must remember that level determines everything here. What level, what words are said, and what things are done must be strictly implemented, otherwise our Tianwu Sect will be in chaos? For example
I, although there are many rooms, I am only a C-class disciple, so I can only live in C-class ones..."
"How many years have you been with the master, senior brother? Are you only a third-level student?" Lan Jingyi asked in surprise.
Zhang Le couldn't help feeling embarrassed, and then he smiled bitterly and said: "It's been seven or eight years. I blame it on me for being blind and choosing the master, thinking that it would be easy for him to get ahead with his disciples... By the way, you two are still fooled by lard."
Heart, why did you choose him?"
Yang Huang and Lan Jingyi couldn't help but look at each other, with each other's eyes full of surprise.
"I guess I was deceived by his sweet words. Hey, you have to be mentally prepared. In Tianwu Sect, it is not that easy to level up. Who is not an outstanding talent from the Endless Sea? Everyone is half-measured, and others like you are hard-working.
Diligence, it’s too difficult to win against others.” Zhang Le couldn’t help but shook his head and sighed.
"Huh? Most of the people here are from the Endless Sea?" Yang Huang asked curiously.
Zhang Ledao: "Yes, except for a dozen elders, most of them are from the Endless Sea. Otherwise, do you think people from the semi-immortal world will become disciples of the Tianwu Sect?"
"What happened to Tianwu Sect?" Lan Jingyi asked.
Zhang Le seemed to feel that he had said too much, and hurriedly waved his hands and said: "It's nothing, you will know it in the future."
Yang Huang's heart moved: "Then when can we go to the ground to have a look?"
Lan Jingyi nodded: "Yes, you've been here for so long, why are you still wandering underground?"
Zhang Le's expression froze, and he smiled after a while: "Well, I can't say. We will live in this underworld for the time being. When we go up there, only the elders can decide."
Yang Huang was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "I heard that there is a sect in the Half-Immortal Realm called Daozhong Sect. Where do they live?"
"Daozhong Sect? I seem to have heard of it. It should be a very big sect." Zhang Lening frowned and thought for a moment, "You can ask Master if you have a chance. I'm not sure. Okay, you guys should choose a room quickly."
The room where Ding and other disciples lived was the smallest, most humid, and darkest place in Jinchao City. The furnishings inside were also very simple, just a bed, a table, and a chair.
Yang Huang and Lan Jingyi each randomly picked a room. One was on the far left on the ground floor, and the other was on the far right.
"Yang Huang, do you feel something is wrong?" Lan Jingyi whispered while Zhang Le went to the warehouse to get them a bed quilt.
Yang Huang nodded: "It's a little different from what I imagined when I came here."
"It's not just a slight difference, it's just a huge difference. I didn't expect Shi Lao to have such a low status among the elders, and why is Tianwu Sect so active underground? This place is simply worse than our Endless Sea, and it's even more depressing." Lan.
Jingyi looked around and couldn't help but complain.
"Now that it's here, let's make peace with it. Let's learn martial arts well first, and nothing else is important." Yang Huang consoled him.
Deep in his heart, he does not regard Tianwumen as a destination, but as a springboard.
A springboard to the Piaomiao Palace of Daozhongzong.
Just now, Yang Huang couldn't help but want to ask Zhang Le where Dao Zhongzong was, but after thinking about it, he still felt that this matter was not urgent for the time being, and he would first get familiar with Tianwu Sect.
Zhang Le quickly moved in two quilts, both of which were old and thin: "It's very warm here, so I just ordered them casually at night."
Lan Jingyi curled her lips: "It seems that Ding and other disciples are not valuable, their treatment is so poor."
"Let's make do with it. Even if we are a first-class disciple, we are not much better. We come to Tianwu Sect to practice martial arts, not to have fun, right?"
Once these words came out, what else could Yang Huang and Lan Jingyi say?
After preparing the room, Zhang Le took Yang Huang and two others to Hexin Hall to meet Shi Ming.
In Hexin Hall, Shi Ming had already prepared a table of food and was waiting for the two of them.
The food looks very ordinary, not much different from the ordinary food in Endless Sea.
"Wow, there are actually six dishes today, and two of them are meat!" Zhang Le smiled brightly when he saw the food on the table, and said happily: "It seems that I have taken advantage of the two junior brothers and served meat today.
."
"You're a lazy guy, you just know how to eat." Shi Ming seemed helpless towards this apprentice and motioned Yang Huang and Lan Jingyi to sit down: "You must be hungry, sit down and eat quickly. The conditions here will be difficult.
But that will change soon.”
"Soon, does that mean we can go to the ground?" Lan Jingyi's eyes suddenly sparkled.
Shi Ming hesitated for a moment and nodded: "Yes, this is just a temporary stop for our Tianwu Sect. We will go up there soon."
"Master, that's what you told me when I came here. It's been seven or eight years now, why don't you use a more comforting way of saying it?" Zhang Le muttered with his mouth full of meat and vegetables.
Yang Huang and Lan Jingyi couldn't help but be startled and looked at Shi Ming doubtfully.
Shi Ming felt helpless and shook his head: "What do you know? The 'War of Heaven' is about to begin. No matter who is destined by Heaven at that time, he will lead our Tianwu Sect back to glory. What's the point of going back to the top?
?Also, if you eat your food, I won’t treat you like a mute.”
"Okay." Zhang Le buried his head in picking up the rice.
"The battle of heaven and earth?" Yang Huang was stunned. He heard Bai Yong mention these four words twice, but he didn't expect to hear Shi Ming mention them again.
At this time, Shi Ming also looked at Yang Huang and Lan Jingyi: "You guys should eat quickly. I have something to talk to you about later."
Yang Huang and Lan Jingyi both nodded. They also had many questions to ask Shi Ming.
All four of them were hungry, and the food on the table was quickly cleared.
Shi Ming asked Zhang Le to put away the dishes, and he got up and walked out: "You two, come with me, and I will show you how to get familiar with this place."
