Because of the special geographical customs of the Southern Wilderness, the Demon Sword Sect is slightly different from the Heavenly Sword Sect, Xuanwu Palace and other sects, its inner and outer doors are all in the secret realm, unlike the Heavenly Sword Sect, Xuanwu Palace and other sects, the outer doors are all in the secular world.

Of course, this has something to do with the fact that the Demon Sword Sect Secret Realm is a big secret realm to a certain extent. Like the Inner Gate Secret Realm of the Heavenly Sword Sect, it is just a middle secret realm.

However, in a small town not far from the entrance of the Demon Sword Sect's secret realm, there was an outer hall dedicated to receiving those who came to the Demon Sword Sect to apprentice. But if it was brought by someone from the outer hall, there would inevitably be an accompanying disciple, which was why Ye Xuan was surprised when he opened the entrance to the secret realm before.

The outer gate of the Demon Sword Sect was about four thousand miles away from the main peak of the Nine Swords Peak.

If Xie Simin hadn't asked people to bring Ye Xuan over, he might not have been able to reach the outer gate even if he walked for a month or two.

Because in the secret realm of the Demon Sword Sect, there are lush woods and jungles everywhere, and this place is not suitable for horses' biological actions. And if you don't use the Flying Crane Talisman, the Imperial Sword Flight, or the flying spirit beast to carry it, even if you don't stop traveling all night, it will take at least a few days to get from the outer gate to the main peak of the Nine Swords Peak.

However, along the way, it was not safe, because in order to hone the disciples in the Demon Sword Sect, there were a lot of beasts in the secret realm, even demon beasts and demonic beasts. Of course, in order to avoid some unnecessary accidents, there are also some prohibitions in the area near the outer gate, the purpose is to prevent some too strong demon beasts and demonic beasts from harming the outer gate disciples.

At this moment, Ye Xuan stood in front of a stone staircase and looked up at the top of the stone steps.

There, a huge square stone gate can be vaguely seen, and the stone tablet on the stone gate is engraved with the words "Demon Sword Sect".

Although it is a well-established fact that the inner gate and the outer gate are spoken, they are not said in any sect. Even externally, they will not talk nonsense, which is why the world is not very clear that there are internal and external sects of each sect.

There are a total of 999 stone steps, each of which is paved with a strip of stone 5 meters long and 20 centimeters high.

Countless years have passed, and the stone steps have not been damaged in any way, but are as smooth as ever. This has always been regarded as a strange thing in the Demon Sword Sect, but only a few people know that in fact, the nine hundred and ninety-nine stone steps themselves are a magic weapon from the Dragon Elephant Temple, but in a battle, the holy monk holding this magic weapon was killed by Xie Simin, and this magic weapon became the trophy of the Demon Sword Sect.

Later, after the sacrifice and refining of several Supreme Elders of the Demon Sword Sect, this magic weapon was completely refined into a special set of sword formations. Each stone step is sealed with a flying sword of the fifth grade of the human rank, although the grade is not high, but when the nine hundred and ninety-nine are out, it can be automatically arranged into a sword array that can be attacked and defended, this is the mountain protection array here at the outer gate of the Demon Sword Sect.

Of course, in terms of power, there is no way to compare with the Tianfeng Nine Sword Array.

Because these two are not a conceptual existence at all.

It's just that this magic weapon can be moved at will, and its effect is somewhat similar to that of a flag.

Ye Xuan glanced at Yuzao who was following him, its eyes were full of curiosity, but it could be seen that it should be happier now.

Yuzao raised his head, shouted at Ye Xuan a few times, and then ran up the steps, and after running more than ten steps in a row, it stopped, looked back at Ye Xuan, called a few times, and then ran up several steps, looked back at Ye Xuan again, and seemed to see that Ye Xuan did not follow, Yuzao ran down quickly. However, this time, when it ran to the steps of the same height as Ye Xuan, it suddenly jumped hard, and then threw itself into Ye Xuan's arms, put it on Ye Xuan's body, stretched out its tongue and licked Ye Xuan's neck.

Holding Yuzao in his arms, Ye Xuan rubbed Yuzao's head lightly and smiled: "We will live here for a while." ”

Tamamo tilted her head and blinked very humanly, and it could be seen from its eyes that it was a little confused.

For Yuzao, it doesn't make a difference where she lives, and before following Ye Xuan, it has always lived alone. If it weren't for that accident, it would still be living alone on that hill now, and it wouldn't have followed Ye Xuan around. It's just that although this period is a bit dangerous, it is full of novelty for Tamamo, and it has seen a completely different world from before.

In Tamamo's little head, it felt that this was the real world.

Ye Xuan didn't have any luggage in his hands, and after taking back the Sumeru Ring, it meant that he could travel lightly wherever he went from now on.

Stepping on the stairs, Ye Xuan walked towards the top of the stone steps. He knew that he would spend the next year or two here, at least until his strength had reached a certain level, and he would not leave here, because there was no place safer and more convenient than here in the Demon Sword Sect.

Not to mention anything else, here in the secret realm of the Demon Sword Sect, his safety was at least guaranteed to a certain extent.

Moreover, a secret realm is so big, it is impossible to have only one dragon vein, after all, it will take three days for Xie Simin to fly from one end of the secret realm to the other. Therefore, Ye Xuan felt that if he could find a leyline that had not been suppressed, then his "Mountains and Rivers Jue" could also be cultivated.

At present, in the secret realm of the Demon Sword Sect, a dragon vein and an earth vein have been discovered.

The dragon vein was naturally suppressed at the Nine Sword Peak, while the earth vein was suppressed here at the outer gate.

The outer gate of the Demon Sword Sect where Ye Xuan was at the moment was a place opened up by the first generation of the Demon Sword Sect with his divine powers. He leveled a large area, and built houses, martial arts training grounds, lecture halls, and even vegetable gardens, orchards and other areas in this area, completely realizing the self-sufficiency of the entire outer gate.

Therefore, any outer disciple who entered the Demon Sword Sect had only two ways to leave the secret realm: become an inner disciple and then get the opportunity to go abroad for training, or be hired by some outer families as a guardian. And any disciple of the Demon Sword Sect who leaves the secret realm at will will be regarded as a mutiny, and such a person will either be cleared by the Demon Sword Sect, or hide in the Southern Wilderness Paradise.

Of course, although the Demon Sword Sect did not clearly state it, in fact, there was another way, or rather, an unspoken rule that existed in any sect: a family that existed by its own sect. Of course, this kind of family will not be too good at the beginning, and it is not even a peripheral family, but because it is from a sect, it will still receive a certain degree of funding.

And if the person who founded the family behaves well, he can be recognized by the sect and officially become a peripheral family. The obligation of the outer families is like that of those dynasties that depend on the sect, and regularly send some well-qualified seedlings to the sect every year, and the sect must also ensure the safety of the outer family.

If a peripheral family can be promoted again, it can become a core family. The advantage of the core family over the outer family is that the seedlings they select can directly enter the inner gate to cultivate, unlike the outer family, which must also start from the outer gate. It's just that in any sect, his core family will not have too many, after all, not all families can serve as the "core".

After stepping through the last stone step, Ye Xuan stood in front of the gate of the outer gate of the Demon Sword Sect.

In front of him was a five-meter-high boulder with some words engraved on it. After Ye Xuan read it carefully, he speculated that it should be a fragment of a certain sword technique, because many of these words were completely incoherent, as if they were pieced together.

"This is the Enlightenment Monument. Take the meaning of 'comprehending the sword intent'. Seeing that Ye Xuan looked at this stone tablet a little deeply, an old man who was over fifty years old walked out of nowhere and stood beside Ye Xuan, "You are the Lu Li that Elder Xie Taishang said, right? The old man's surname is Shi, he is the master of the door here, if you don't dislike it, you can call me Senior Brother Shi. ”

"Senior Brother Shi, you are too polite, it should be me to visit you. Ye Xuan said with some flattery, but he still understood the point of beating snakes with sticks.

"It doesn't matter. The stone gate master smiled, and then said, "After sitting for a long time, you also need to come out and walk around." Shall I take you to your courtyard?"

Ye Xuan nodded, and did not object, he knew why this Shimen master was so polite to himself.

In the Demon Sword Sect, the authority of the Supreme Elder is even greater than that of the Sect Master, because they were all promoted by the Sect Masters of the past dynasties who abdicated or the Sect Elders.

The second highest status after the sect master is the sect elders, who are the elders who assist the sect master in managing the affairs of the sect. After the elders of the sect, there are the eight peak masters, who manage their respective side peaks, and the position of the sect master is to run from among the peak masters, and the elders of the sect, the elders of the sect, and the elders cannot participate in the election of the sect master.

The lords of each peak have the authority to appoint elders, and of course these elders can only be the elders of each peak. The status of the elders is only one level higher than that of the deacons of each peak, but they can compete for the position of peak master after the peak master abdicates, or they can be promoted to the elder of the sect because of their excellent performance and being appreciated by the sect master and the supreme elder.

And it is precisely because of this strict class system that the Demon Sword Sect has ensured unity and stability for thousands of years. After all, the Demon Sword Sect is not like some other sects, where the division of generations is so clear. Here in the Demon Sword Sect, the person with strong strength is the senior brother or senior sister, and it doesn't matter whether the other party enters sooner or later.

And the position of the master of the outer gate is only equal to the elders of each peak in terms of status. And some inner disciples with deep backgrounds, even the outer door masters, have to deal with them politely, because once there is any conflict, it is the outer door master who suffers.

"Here, there is a lecturer in the lecture hall on the 10th of every month, so if you are interested, you can also go and listen to it. Walking on the road, the master of the stone gate told Ye Xuan with a smile about the situation of the outer gate, and also told Ye Xuan some places that should be paid attention to, "And from the 21st to the 28th of each month, actual combat training will be conducted, after all, if a martial artist has no combat experience, even if the cultivation is high, it is useless, and this ranking determines what kind of treatment you will be able to get next month." ”

"Is the current actual combat training still for survival in the wild?" Ye Xuan asked with a smile.

The stone gate master nodded, but looking at Ye Xuan's gaze, it was obvious that there had been some changes: "By the way, I almost forgot an important thing." Elder Taishang Xie asked me to remind you that you had better go to the lecture hall tomorrow. ”

[Yesterday Kavin...... So there's only one change. Fantasy or something.,It's really hard to write.,I'm a little dissatisfied with the current progress.,But a lot of the content isn't explained clearly.,There's no way to expand it later.。 It's so distressing...... Especially after seeing the collection, I was even more distressed. 】
