This Sword Cultivator is Somewhat Dependable

Chapter 6 Discourse on the Dao in the Seven Domains (Part 2)

The booming voice that previously erupted in Qing State's Fufeng City and the floating proclamation that appeared there, did not only manifest in Fufeng City but also echoed and materialized in all of Great Xia's cities, including State Cities, Prefectural Cities, and Prefecture Cities.

This news spread across the entire Human Race territory like a plague sweeping through.

Whether it was the remote islands across the sea or the numerous sects and noble families nestled within the wilderness mountain ranges, all received this heart-shaking news.

Half a year was enough time for this message to reach every corner of the Human Race, leaving no talent unnoticed.

...

Moments later, in a place beyond mortal knowledge, an elder stood before a pool of lava, and before him stood a dozen young cultivators.

"You should all be aware by now, the trials of the 'Seven Domains Discourse' will begin with the preliminary tests in half a year!"

In front of these young cultivators, the elder slowly spoke, his voice full of vigor and ringing with a resonant force. Stay connected with My Virtual Library Empire

They were from the reclusive Yan Family, and the elder was none other than the Yan Family's Supreme Elder, a being at the Divinity Transformation Stage of the Sixth Realm of Cultivation.

"We know." The young cultivators nodded in unison, their breaths becoming fervent. How could they not be excited about the 'Seven Domains Discourse' that was stirring up the entire Human Race, an event they actually had a chance to partake in?

"Good, I won't say much. My requirement for you is to perform well. If you can gain the recognition of a top-tier sect, that would naturally be for the best.

Among you, if someone can break into the top ten thousand, then the position of the Yan Family heir will be yours, and no one can snatch it away from you!"

"The top ten thousand to gain the position of Family Heir?" Several young cultivators exchanged glances, hardly believing what they heard.

"Don't believe it? Think it's easy? Hmph, so naive. Do you know how vast the Human Race is?" The Supreme Elder snorted coldly when he saw their reaction.

"The Human Race has Seven Domains, each Domain containing dozens of States; each State has at the very least dozens of Prefectural Cities and at the most hundreds.

In them are countless sects, families, and secret powers. Have you thought about how many geniuses there might be among them?

And that is without even considering the Loose Cultivators.

Although most Loose Cultivators are very weak in combat, you know as well as I do how numerous they are. It's inevitable that geniuses will emerge from among them.

You may be considered exceptional within our Yan Family, but if you look at the entire young generation of the Human Race, you're practically nothing."

After pausing, the Supreme Elder continued, "What you should be grateful for is that the disciples of the Seven Great Taoist Sects and the One Hundred Top-Tier Sects aren't participating in this 'Seven Domains Discourse.'

They are the true leaders of the young generation of the Human Race. If they were to participate, it's almost certain that the top thousand ranks of the 'Seven Domains Discourse' would be completely dominated by them."

The dozen or so young cultivators present couldn't help but swallow hard, feeling an unspeakable shock.

The 'Seven Domains Discourse' sweeping across the Human Race was even more terrifying than they had imagined!

....

Atop a vast mountain peak, on an empty plaza, stood a burly cultivator clad in a black robe. Imposing like the mountain itself, he stood at the center of the plaza, his gaze cutting across the neatly arranged thousand-plus young cultivators in front of him like a knife.

"The names of the Seven Great Taoist Sects would also be familiar to you, I assume," the burly cultivator asked slowly.

The more than a thousand young cultivators nodded in unison.

The name of the Seven Great Taoist Sects is as resounding as thunder; how could they not know of it?

The Human Race has Seven Domains, and within each domain, there exists a dominant Sect that can be described as having the power to overshadow all.

These seven mega Sects are the so-called Seven Great Taoist Sects, and each excels in different areas.

Central State encompasses Three Domains, starting with Heavenly Secret Pavillion in Central Heavenly Realm, which is a Spirit Cultivation Holy Land.

The cultivators of Heavenly Secret Pavillion specialize in the Heavenly Divination Technique, capable of probing the divine will, seeking fortune and avoiding calamity, and holding an encyclopedic knowledge of the world's information and intelligence. Even the Netherfire Ranking and the rankings of the Four Symbols of Heaven and Earth are determined and issued by the Heavenly Secret Pavillion.

Moreover, the Heavenly Secret Pavillion, as the Sect with the closest ties to the Great Xia Imperial Clan, is also the most mysterious and untouchable supreme Sect among the Seven Great Taoist Sects.

In Central Martial Domain, there is Martial Debate Hall, also known as a Taoist Sect with an almost divine Nether Cultivator heritage, which is the oldest ancient Sect of the Human Race. The Sect has been in existence for at least a hundred thousand years, holding countless Ancient Spells and Divine Skills.

In Central Spirit Domain, there is Rinsing Spirit Sect, known as the Holy Land for Beast Cultivators. It is the only one among the Seven Great Taoist Sects that rose rapidly during the Chang'an Years and achieved the status of a Taoist Sect.

Rinsing Spirit Sect excels in nurturing Demon Beasts, and the business of selling these creatures is immensely widespread, covering all Seven Domains of the Human Race.

It is said that forty percent of the Human Cultivators' Beast Pets originated from Rinsing Spirit Sect, which speaks volumes about the magnitude of their business.

Therefore, Rinsing Spirit Sect has been able to develop rapidly during the Chang'an Years and is already showing signs of becoming the strongest among the Seven Great Taoist Sects.

Then there is the Southern Territory, whose towering Sect is named Great Pure Palace, a sacred land for Dharma Cultivation known for its Thunder Spells among the Human Race.

Out of the seven attributes of Dharma Cultivation, Thunder Technique is considered the most domineering and powerful. Therefore, among the seven Dharma Cultivating Sects that each specialize in one attribute, only Great Pure Palace has become a Taoist Sect.

Additionally, since Dharma Cultivators make up the largest proportion and the highest number of cultivators among the Human Race, Great Pure Palace has always been the Sect with the greatest number of cultivators since ancient times.

In the Western Domain, there is Dragon Elephant Temple, a pilgrimage site for Body Cultivators, aspiring to reach the state of Buddhas and Dragon Elephants, one must first endure as the common beast of burden, a powerful Sect known for its austere practitioners.

In the Northern Domain, there is a Taoist Sect named Armor Pavilion, the wealthiest Sect among the Human Race.

The cultivators of Armor Pavilion are skilled in a variety of true practices, presenting endlessly diverse methods, with each disciple protected by numerous Spiritual Artifacts and Spirit Pills.

The disciples of Armor Pavilion, known for their lavishness, are often referred to as walking treasure troves.

Lastly, there is the Sword Sect from the Eastern Domain, the Taoist Sect of Sword Cultivation.

"You all have heard of the news concerning the Seven Domains Conference on Dao; I'm sure I needn't explain it further.

According to the rewards of this Conference, the top hundred will gain an opportunity to enter the Source Realm. You all understand the significance of this," the muscular cultivator said in a slowly and heavily enunciated tone.

"Great Xia established the Ninth Grade system for Sects. There are a hundred Sects honored as Ninth Grade, referred to as the hundred top Sects.

Above Ninth Grade are the Seven Great Taoist Sects, which stand on equal footing with Great Xia.

In this Seven Domains Conference on Dao, the disciples of the Seven Great Taoist Sects and the hundred top Sects act as the organizers and will not participate in the competition.

Our White Bone Peak is an Eighth Grade Sect, just a step below them. As the most outstanding disciples of our White Bone Peak, I have only one requirement for you: out of the top hundred, you must secure at least five spots, so as not to tarnish the reputation of our White Bone Peak!"

"As for you," the muscular cultivator turned his gaze to a handsome young man in white robes standing at the front of the young cultivators, "as the current Dao Child of White Bone Peak, my requirement is that you enter the top ten. Do you have any objections?"

The Dao Child of White Bone Peak replied with a faint smile: "Peak Master, in my eyes, there is only first place!"
