Chapter 131 Family
The process of promotion to the Inner Sect was not complicated.
After all, the promotion of Li Muyang and his two companions to the Inner Sect was personally appointed by Elder Yan, and no one dared to hinder them.
After returning to the Refinement Demon Sect, Li Muyang and the others simply packed their luggage, handed over their duties in the External Sect, and the next day someone came to escort them up the mountain.
"Brother Li, what is the Inner Sect like?"
Guan Xiaoshun looked around nervously.
At that moment, the three of them stood on a huge leaf emitting a faint green light, soaring into the sky towards the mountain.
The winding mountain ranges undulated beneath their feet. The white-robed disciple controlling the leaf smiled and said,
"The Inner Sect is different from the External Sect; there aren't many chores to do on a daily basis."
"Although there are individual duties, the main focus is still on cultivation."
"You three needn't be nervous; after entering the Inner Sect, life will become much more relaxed."
The guide, an Inner Sect Disciple, had a warm smile and a friendly attitude.
He appeared to be in his thirties yet still lingered in the Foundation Establishment Realm, his talent and attainment were considered ordinary within the Inner Sect.
For these three young newcomers who were just promoted to the Inner Sect, the guide's attitude was very congenial.
Li Muyang and his companions did not experience the treatment of old members suppressing newcomers; stepping on the faintly glowing leaf, they flew high into the sky, crossed the sea of clouds, and finally saw several floating islands above the cloud sea.
Scattered waterfalls splashed above the cloud sea while flocks of pristine cranes cried out as they flew past.
Palaces, pavilions, stone steps, and courtyards were interspersed among these suspended islands.
Even for Li Muyang, a transmigrator who had seen numerous CGI scenes, the spectacular sight before him was astonishing, not to mention for Guan Xiaoshun and his adopted sister Li Yuechan.
"Is this the Demon Sect's headquarters?"
Li Yuechan muttered softly.
The magnificent view deeply impressed the three of them.
Afterward, under the guidance of their escort, Li Muyang and his companions arrived at one of the remote floating islands, where they followed the rules and received their identity badges and white robes.
The Inner Sect's white robes were made from heavenly silkworm silk, barely qualifying as lower-grade Spiritual Artifact-level Magic Artifacts, impervious to water and fire.
Everything went smoothly.
Until the trio was to receive their identity badges, and the Inner Sect Disciple responsible for registration tested their cultivation, a surprise occurred.
"Li Muyang, cultivation… Foundation Establishment Realm?!"
After testing, the Inner Sect Disciple responsible for registration exclaimed in surprise,
instantaneously drawing the attention of several others.
Li Yuechan and Guan Xiaoshun were both filled with astonishment.
"Ah? Brother, you've reached Foundation Establishment?"
"Brother Li, weren't you at the fourth level of the Qi Refining Realm before...?"
The few people in the room all wore shocked expressions, as if they had seen a ghost.
Li Muyang coughed once and said, "Elder Yan rewarded me with some cultivation Spiritual Objects, and I have been rigorously cultivating, so I had a breakthrough in my cultivation."
Li Muyang's explanation was somewhat equivocal, but it sufficed.
Your journey continues on empire
Cultivation is most importantly about resources, and then about aptitude.
As long as one invests enough resources, even a pig could be pushed to the Core Formation Realm.
Only beyond the Core Formation Realm does one need to rely on aptitude and insight.
Li Muyang's reasoning was perfect, because no one knew what Yan Xiaoru had rewarded him with.
Upon hearing his explanation, the faces of both the guide and the disciple responsible for testing blossomed into even broader smiles.
They all knew what cultivation level these three newly promoted members had; Li Muyang, who was once at the fourth level of the Qi Refining Realm, had reached Foundation Establishment so quickly... Elder Yan must have rewarded him with many wonderful things!
The few people inside the house became even more enthusiastic toward Li Muyang.
The Inner Sect Disciple who was responsible for guiding the way, after taking Li Muyang and the other two through the procedures, even specially took them to the residence arranged by the Sect.
"The three of you belong to the Enforcement Hall overseen by Elder Yan. This is the small island where the disciples of the Enforcement Hall live."
"The Enforcement Hall holds an exceptional status within the Sect, it is a good place to be."
With a smile on his face, the guiding disciple said, "Joining the Enforcement Hall, you three will surely have boundless prospects."
"Haha… Thank you for your auspicious words, senior brother," Li Muyang said with a laugh, bowing his hands in thanks to this enthusiastic senior brother.
Although this disciple was enthusiastic, he did not linger. After leaving his name, surname and bowing his hands, he said his goodbyes, even when Li Muyang politely tried to detain him, he did not persist.
"There are indeed more clever people in the Inner Sect..."
Li Muyang felt somewhat emotional.
Just any Inner Sect Disciple could be considered an old hand in worldly wisdom.
But this was not surprising, as the Demon Sect like the Refinement Demon Sect, which ruled over millions of miles of land, highly valued order.
It is a classic lawful evil.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Throughout the Demon Sect, everyone held a mysterious commitment to rules and order. None of the disciples who could mix into the Inner Sect were fools.
Though within such confined rules and regulations, the entire Sect seemed somewhat lifeless.
But Li Muyang liked it.
More rules and greater order meant fewer lunatics.
Dealing with the Demon Path, the scariest part was the lunatics. As long as everyone followed the rules, Li Muyang could peacefully hide and sneakily cultivate.
After receiving the identity badge and keys and opening his own quarters, Li Muyang began cleaning.
The room he was assigned to was a bamboo house located behind a bamboo forest, with a border of a floating island nearby. A clear stream flowed out from the mountains, meandering through the bamboo forest behind Li Muyang's door, eventually cascading down the edge of the bamboo forest at the floating island's end.
Being an Inner Sect Disciple, both the living environment and treatment had improved a lot.
The room seemed like it hadn't been lived in for a while, as it was full of dust, and the yard was also overgrown with weeds.
Li Muyang spent the entire afternoon cleaning up.
It was dusk by the time he finished cleaning.
His dear sister Li Yuechan came over grinning, holding a food box in the sunset.
"Tonight's an extra meal to celebrate our promotion to the Inner Sect."
Guan Xiaoshun also came running over happily to join the meal, and the three of them enjoyed a lively and sumptuous dinner under the sunset.
Laughter continued nonstop at the dinner table.
Joining the Inner Sect of the Demon Sect was a joyous occasion for everyone.
Guan Xiaoshun cried and laughed, finally standing out and able to make his grandparents back home enjoy their lives.
The young man from a border town had never imagined he could truly join the Inner Sect and become an Inner Sect Disciple.
Li Yuechan sat at the table, resting her chin in one hand, quietly watching Li Muyang under the candlelight with a gentle, shallow smile curving her lips.
"Brother, let's find time to go home. Once the news gets back, aunt and uncle will definitely be too excited to sleep," she said.
Laughter erupted from time to time at the dinner table.
Even Li Muyang, who was accustomed to being alone, couldn't help but smile as he watched the lively scene at the table, feeling a warm sensation rising in his heart.
Humans are, after all, social animals.
Though it was comfortable living alone, this relaxed atmosphere also made Li Muyang feel warm.
Before he knew it, he had been in this world for almost a year.
From the initial loneliness and cautiousness to the current warm scene.
The solitary transmigrator Li Muyang finally had his friends and family…
