Yan Xiaobao rendered incredible service to the sect, possessing deep skills in flora and vegetation, capable of unleashing exceptional combat power. The sect naturally recognized this and valued him greatly. Of course, they didn't cater to his every whim like his servants. If people insulted or provoked him, they wouldn't jump out to protect him... No disciple enjoyed such treatnt, not even Shangguan Tianyou nor Yan Xiaobao.
For this reason, Yan Xiaobao believed Shangguan Tianyou was an arrogant, renowned elector, and other Outer Sect disciples even referred to him as the young master, but still, he wasn't worthy of Yan's attention.
After so thought, Hou Yunfei responded, his eyes shining, telling Yan Xiaobao everything he knew: "Shangguan Tianyou has great ambition. He hopes that one day he can enter the legendary Legacy Echelon. Therefore, he constantly maintains his cultivation base, keeping him between the Outer and Inner Sects. When the next chance arises to choose the fire from the banks of the north and south, he wants to be the first to take it and enter the top Inner Sect. This will give him a chance to enter the Legacy Echelon. If that's not the case, he should have already applied through the fire to enter the ordinary trial into the Inner Sect. After all, anyone reaching Qi Condensation Level 8 can do so."
Yan Xiaobao asked in shock: "Why does everyone want to enter the Legacy Echelon? Xu Baocai told Zhou Xinqi, Lu Tianlei, and all the others want it."
"mbers of the Legacy Echelon are similar to the status of Prestige Disciples. However, it is a different branch within the Spirit Stream Sect. See, the Spirit Stream Sect differs from other sects. We have two branches, one focused on protecting the sect, the other on enhancing its glory and power!
"Everyone from servants to Qi Condensation Third Level disciples is concentrated in a lower group. From fourth to eighth Qi condensation levels, they form the Outer Sect. At level eight, you can apply through the fire to enter the Inner Sect.
"If you can enter the Foundation... then you can beco a Foundation mber, and even potentially a Peak King. After two sixty-year cycles, if you break through the Gold Core level, then you can beco an elder, responsible for protecting and managing the sect. That is the first branch.
"The second branch is the Legacy Echelon!
"There's only one way to enter, which is... to break through the Gold Core after two sixty-year cycles have passed. From then on, you beco a tool to ensure our sect gains greater status in the Cultivation World, and gains... more powerful resources and wealth! Anyone who achieves first place in the electoral battle will enter the Legacy Echelon. I'm not sure about the specific details, but I know there are rules regarding the whole thing!
"The only issue is, reaching the Gold Core level before the two sixty-year cycles pass is very, very difficult... In the last generation of mbers, the only one close was Li's master Hou Feng. That's why the sect really likes him!"
Yan Xiaobao took a deep breath. This was the first ti he heard the explanation of the Legacy Echelon, and it also gave him a clearer understanding of the sect itself. Soon, he left, and as he departed, he continued pondering over the matter.
"Legacy Echelon...?" Sighing, Yan Xiaobao left Hou Yunfei's residence and returned to his own yard. He looked up at the sky and then around the scenery, rembering the cultivation families. In his view, his brother, the Sect Leader, was sowhat domineering, but... even though it's currently impossible to gather more gifts, at least there's no need to return the gifts he's already taken.
"Indeed! It's not my fault! It's the Dharmic decree of the 'siblings leader' that's at fault!" Reaching this point in his thoughts, Yan Xiaobao felt a bit better. After organizing all the gifts, he went to the market and purchased a large number of herbal plant ingredients for second-level spiritual dicine. Then, he returned to the dicine Making Hall to continue his cultivation and refining work.
In fact, originally, Zheng Yuandong didn't plan to involve Yan Xiaobao with the cultivation families. However, events unfolded in a shocking manner. After the battle where the forr nine Prestige Disciples were killed, they were posthumously awarded their titles. Also, all were mbers of various other cultivation families. Even though they had no direct descendants, they all had relatives from their respective clans. Thus, no issues arose, and their tribes smoothly transitioned into Prestige Tribes.
Of course, the sect highly valued and protected these tribes.
But now, Yan Xiaobao is a lively Prestige Disciple, a frightful status, to say the least. Initially, it wasn't apparent as ti passed. Zheng Yuandong and many others never imagined what it ant to have a living Prestige successor among them, and how attractive such a person would be to the cultivator tribes.
But then, cultivator tribes began appearing en masse. At first, Zheng Yuandong just watched the event unfold. In his view, the tribe Yan Xiaobao chooses was not important. How could he have foreseen that in all competitions, the tribes would go to great lengths offering their family daughters as maids just to get a descendant with Yan Xiaobao's lineage?
Zheng Yuandong could only imagine what would happen if Yan Xiaobao succumbed to temptation. If that happened... soon thereafter, he could make a living for hundreds of descendants. According to clan rules, all first-generation offspring of a Prestige Disciple are automatically allowed into the Inner Sect, receiving special treatnt and training. Furthermore... when those descendants begin to spread, the Prestige clan will have hundreds of branches. In a few hundred years, the entire Spirit Stream Sect will be filled with the Bai Clan... the final result will be severe.
