There was a winding bluestone path ahead. Xu Yang looked down and couldn't help but be amazed.

It turned out that this ordinary stone path was paved with black stones, with runes engraved on it, and subtle mysterious energy kept emitting to clean up the dust on the road. Looking around, the entire path was spotless.

At the opening of the gateway of the Imperial Sect's Secret Realm, a mysterious man soon discovered the Lord of the Imperial Sect. Several streams of light flew in the sky. On the bluestone path, some people rushed forward and all came to greet the Lord of the Imperial Sect.

"The sect leader is back!" A shout echoed throughout the mountains.

The Lord of the Emperor Sect nodded slightly and greeted the elders of Xuanhuang who flew in the sky and the inner disciples who came up on the path. He was humble and did not have the slightest airs of the Buddha.

Those elders of Xuanhuang and inner disciples all looked sincerely admiring the lord of the Emperor Sect.

After everyone greeted him, an elder of the Emperor Sect said, "You are all dispersed, don't disturb the sect leader's meditation."

Not only the disciples, but the elders also dispersed together, and the comments came:

"Yes, don't disturb the sect leader's cultivation, he is the foundation of the Imperial Sect."

"As long as the sect leader enters the realm of a saint, he doesn't have to be afraid of the other nine sects. My imperial sect will truly have confidence."

The leader of the Emperor Sect smiled and said, "It's okay." He signaled Xu Yang to come forward and introduced to everyone, "This is Xu Yang, the number one hero in this year's Xiaotianlu, comes from Yingzhou. From then on, he will be your junior brother."

The three or five inner disciples on the bluestone path looked at Xu Yang and then smiled.

"Listening to the first place, choosing our Emperor Sect is a good sign."

"Yes, it seems that my Emperor Sect's glory is still there."

Xu Yang looked around for a while, and from these people, he saw Lan Jiansan.

"Sword Three," the Lord of the Emperor Sect was very familiar with the inner disciples and called out, "You have been familiar with your junior brother Xu Yang since Yingzhou. Now I will take your junior brother to visit the secret realm of my Emperor Sect, and get the monthly offerings of the inner disciples and integrate into the Emperor Sect."

"Please rest assured that Jian San will complete the task." Lan Jian San smiled with teeth, a little excited.

Immediately, the shadow of the lord of the Emperor Sect slowly faded and disappeared here. The one who presided over the Xiaotianlu trial was originally just a clone.

"Xu Yang, we have known all your achievements on Xiaotianlu, and it is indeed good," said a tall elder of the Emperor Sect. "My surname is Sect, you can call me Sect elder. I am good at refining mechanical puppets. If you are interested in this, you can come to Modao to find me."

Xu Yang was flattered and quickly bowed, "Yes, thank you to the elder of the Sect."

After saying that, Elder Zong flew away directly. Another slightly thin old man behind him smiled and said, "Old Zong is so anxious. Xu Yang, just call me Elder Mu. I have some experience in refining weapons. If you have any questions about refining weapons, you can come to Chonglou Peak to find me."

Xu Yang thanked him, and Elder Mu also turned into light and flew away.

Next, several elders had a brief conversation with Xu Yang and explained the areas they were good at.

After these elders left, Xu Yang finally breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at Lan Jiansan and asked in a low voice: "Are these elders so enthusiastic about every disciple?"

"Of course," Lan Jiansan said naturally, "Our Emperor Sect does not restrict his master and disciple, but only focuses on seniority. Moreover, the most important thing for the Emperor Sect is to unite and defend the glory of the Emperor Sect for tens of thousands of years. These elders take good care of every inner disciple and treat them almost as their parents and children."

"How many outer disciples and inner disciples are there in the secret realm of the Imperial Sect?" Xu Yang asked.

"The Emperor Sect is in Zhongzhou, and there are outer disciples in various branches. The total total should be no less than 100,000," said Lan Jiansan. "As for inner disciples, there are about hundreds of people."

"If hundreds of inner disciples have problems with cultivation, they will bother the elders. Wouldn't it... disturb them to practice?" Xu Yang said.

"In fact, when the inner disciples have difficulties in cultivation, the first thing they think of is not to seek help from the elders, but to go to the sect's Sutra Collection Pavilion, check the classics, and find the answers by themselves," Lan Jiansan replied, "The Emperor Sect stipulates that every time they ask for help from the elders to answer questions, it will take ten to one hundred points to 100 points to the sect's meritorious deeds to be calculated according to the time of the Q&A, this is not a small number."

"What if the merits are spent?" Xu Yang followed Lan Jiansan and asked while walking forward.

"The merits have been spent. If there are important questions, the elders will still answer you," Lan Jian Sanyi mentioned the elders with a look of respect. "However, this kind of thing should not happen too many times. If a disciple often has a shameless face and asks for help from the elders, even if the elders don't say anything, everyone will look down on him. Just like... Fan Tong was like this before."

Xu Yang nodded slightly. He understood that the Emperor Sect is a sect that talks about human feelings, but it also needs merit points to support the operation of the inner sect. It is estimated that those elders can also obtain certain merit points after answering questions and solving problems, and use them to exchange for the resources of the Emperor Sect to support their cultivation.

Listening to Lan Jiansan's explanation, "You can earn merits when going out to perform sect tasks. You can break through the realm, or win some competitions between sects, bring glory to the sects, and you can also gain merits."

"What are the realm of inner disciples?" Xu Yang asked.

"Most are at the realm of Xuan King, and there are also some young geniuses under the age of forty. They are at the peak of Xuan Jun and are about to enter Xuan King," said Lan Jiansan. "The disciples who were recruited into the inner sect outside the realm of Xuan King are all geniuses in thousands. Although their realm is not high for the time being, no one will underestimate their potential. Junior Brother Xu, you are such a potential disciple."

Xu Yang laughed and said a few humility. The two of them had arrived at the foot of a mountain, where there was a large building of the Emperor Sect.

"This is the 'Wenxin Hall', it is the front yard of the Emperor Sect," said Lan Jiansan. "Junior Brother Xu, every disciple of the Emperor Sect, before entering the inner sect, must take a look in front of the spiritual treasure mirror of the Wenxin Hall. This is the rule, please follow me."

"Psychological Treasure Mirror?" Xu Yang was a little curious. The Emperor Sect in later generations did not have this thing.

Ten thousand years later, the secret realm of the Imperial Sect is just a legend. The mysterious energy is exhausted and the secret realm that requires a large amount of mysterious energy to support cannot be opened.

In other words, Xu Yang knew nothing about the secret realm of the imperial sect in the Golden Age.

In front of the screen wall of Wenxin Hall, a huge treasure mirror as high as ten feet high is inlaid. This should be the spiritual treasure mirror. (To be continued.)
