Chapter 1002: Chapter 1002: Understanding Kunlun

As Vice Sect Master Zhuang Peng continued his narration, Ning Fan gradually came to understand the situation within the Kunlun.

Kunlun’s existence had not left Earth; it was an independent small world forcibly separated from Earth by a great power.

However, Vice Sect Master Zhuang Peng also didn’t know who the great power was that had accomplished all this initially.

Within Kunlun, there were five major sects, which dominated the entire Kunlun world.

On normal days, the sect masters of the five major sects seldom showed themselves in public, and it was mostly the disciples of the sects who walked outside, maintaining the dignity of their sects.

Below the five sects were several tens of medium-sized sects.

Finally, there were hundreds of scattered, unnamed small sects.

"So, your sect is a medium-sized sect?" Ning Fan asked, puzzled.

Vice Sect Master Zhuang Peng scratched his head awkwardly, "Well... Feiyu Sect is actually a small sect."

Ning Fan: "..."

Seeing how arrogant Zuo Yunhua had previously been, he had thought that at the very least Feiyu Sect would be a medium-sized sect.

"How are the sects within Kunlun classified?" Ning Fan paused, "In other words, what is the cultivation level of the strongest individuals in the five major sects, the medium-sized sects, and the small sects?"

Vice Sect Master Zhuang Peng carefully began, "You have already seen the strongest among our small sects; the Late Foundation Establishment Stage is already our limit, of course there are no requirements for the lower limit of a small sect."

"The strongest of the medium-sized sects must be at the Foundation Establishment Peak; otherwise, the sect cannot be evaluated as such."

"Previously, Zuo Yunhua led us in cultivation, also attempting to break through to the Foundation Establishment Peak so that our entire Feiyu Sect could be promoted to a medium-sized sect."

Ning Fan frowned and said, "So, the strongest in the five great sects are in the Golden Core Stage?"

He was currently only at the Late Foundation Establishment Stage, and although he relied on special cultivation techniques, as well as a more refined Spiritual Power than others, he could take on multiple opponents at once.

But if he encountered someone at the Foundation Establishment Peak, with his current strength, he could probably only manage one-on-one at most.

If it were the Golden Core Stage, not to mention one-on-one, even escaping would be questionable.

However, Vice Sect Master Zhuang Peng shook his head and said, "As far as I know, the sect masters of the five major sects have not broken through to the Golden Core Stage."

"Not broken through to the Golden Core Stage?" Ning Fan was now thoroughly confused, "Then on what basis do they become the five great sects? Merely because they have a multitude of disciples?"

He had noticed before that the concentration of Spiritual Energy in Kunlun was extremely high, far exceeding the outside world and was hundreds of times greater than the outside world.

Apart from those ordinary disciples, starting from the elder level, everyone was a cultivator, it was just that their strength was not as good as his own.

Therefore, in such an environment, it was an incredible fact that the sect masters of the five major sects had not broken through to the Golden Core Stage.

Vice Sect Master Zhuang Peng sternly explained, "Actually, this is also a well-known rule in our Kunlun, an unnamed power that restricts the highest cultivation level in Kunlun to only reach Foundation Establishment Peak."

"Should anyone break through to the Golden Core Stage, they would immediately attract powerful Heavenly Lightning, which is far beyond the endurance of cultivators like us."

Ning Fan grew more puzzled, "Then why are you willing to submit to the five great sects?"

"This leads to another issue," Vice Sect Master Zhuang Peng explained with a bitter smile, "Although the sect masters of the five great sects have not broken through to the Golden Core Stage, they have created another unique realm, which we call the Pseudo-Dan."

"The realm of Pseudo-Dan is not as high as the Golden Core Stage, but it can exert power beyond the Foundation Establishment Stage, and that’s the reason they can suppress our other sects."

"The method to break through to the Pseudo-Dan Stage is only known to the five great sects."

This time Ning Fan gained a sudden realization; the five great sects were essentially controlling the pathway upwards.

Anyone who wanted to advance further had to join one of the five great sects.

As time went on, the geniuses of Kunlun all became disciples of the five great sects, and the other sects, lacking the means to break through, naturally couldn’t compare to the five great sects.

Besides, Ning Fan also learned a lot more about Kunlun.

Due to the extraordinarily rich Spiritual Energy, there were many Spiritual Medicines in Kunlun that couldn’t be found in the Secular World.

Vice Sect Master Zhuang Peng even took Ning Fan to the Feiyu Sect’s medicinal herb storehouse, and as soon as Ning Fan walked in, he was stunned by the amount of Spiritual Medicine stored here.

Many Spiritual Medicines that were almost impossible to find in the secular world were readily available within Feiyu Sect.

"Thousand-Year Jade Ganoderma, Extreme Ice Jade Marrow... So many treasures!"

Shuang’er, looking at the spiritual medicines in the storehouse, was so astonished she could hardly close her mouth.

She had learned quite a bit about Spiritual Medicines while following Ning Fan, and she recognized those medicines at a glance.

Ning Fan was also somewhat surprised; just the reserves of Spiritual Medicines in Feiyu Sect far exceeded anything he had seen in the Secular World.

This was just a small sect, and if it were one of the five great sects, wouldn’t there be even more Spiritual Medicine within?

"Wait, if there are so many Spiritual Medicines, then can’t I use elixirs to cultivate?" Ning Fan suddenly realized.

Previously in the Secular World, the main reason he only absorbed Spiritual Energy for cultivation was that the Spiritual Medicines required for concocting elixirs were too hard to find.

The last time, it took him a great deal of effort to concoct just five Foundation Establishment Pills.

But now that he was in Kunlun, with Feiyu Sect’s medicinal reserves, he could refine elixirs while absorbing Spiritual Energy for cultivation.

With a two-pronged approach, the progress of his cultivation would be faster!

"Sort out all the elixirs, I want to use these materials to concoct elixirs."

No sooner said than done, Ning Fan immediately instructed Vice Sect Master Zhuang Peng to have people move these materials out.
