Liang Chen and the two other men nodded their heads as Mao Zexi's words, allowing her to take the lead. Liang Chen was unable to tell the actual strength of these three, but looking at how they acted, he guessed that Mao Zexi was the strongest of the three, with Kong Heng being the second strongest, and Yao Ming being the weakest.

Mao Zexi quickly led the group away from the palace, going back down into the diagonal valley that split the mountain two and separated the two palaces. Instead of going down the valley, Mao Zexi actually led the group further up the valley, past the two palaces and to the other side of the mountain.

Once they reached the other side of the mountain, the side that had been hidden when Liang Chen first arrived at the foot of the mountain, an arched gate that was made out of cyan colored wood was revealed. The inside of the gate was covered by a silver screen of light, so it seemed like there was a hidden realm located behind the gate.

The four people entered the gate, a silver light flashing in front of Liang Chen's eyes and temporarily blinding him. Once the light vanished, he found that they were now standing on a large plain covered in green grass and blooming flowers, as well as a few weeping willow trees.

Standing a bit in front of the group were six statues, each one depicting a man or a woman that had a grand and heroic bearing, the statues almost seeming lifelike. And spreading out behind these six statues were one-meter high jade rods that were engraved with names. There were so many of these rods that they stretched out as far as the eye could see, vanishing into the distance.

Mao Zexi and the two other top disciples swept the jade rods and the six statues with their eyes, a respectful light flashing past their eyes. After a short moment of silence, Mao Zexi spoke up.

"This is the most important place in the sect, the Hero's Tomb. Any member of the sect that dies, whether it be on a mission or in their sleep, will be buried here so that we will never forget those who fought for our sect."

Liang Chen looked at the endless amount of jade rods, an astonished expression on his face. These were all graves? Just how old was this sect, for so many disciples to have already died? Mao Zexi stretched out her arm, pointing at the six statues, her voice heavy with reverence.

"Those statues depict the greatest heroes of the sect. Storm God Yan Yi, The founder of the sect who died during the first war against the Fiendgod sect, carving a path back to the sect for the disciples. Furious Tornado Yan Zedong, died during the third war against the now destroyed Demon's Fang sect, dragging their sect leader with him to the grave and ending the war. Star Fist Shao Qigang, died protecting the disciples of the sect when the Soaring Cloud continent was facing an invasion from the Dawn's Blade Alliance, singlehandedly holding back three of their Sovereign God realm cultivators. Impervious Duan Yong, died protecting the entire sect when it was besieged by the Moon Dragon sect and the Ghost Soul sect, turning his own body into a protective formation that still defends the sect. Wind Empress Yan Cai, protected the sect when this continent was attacked by three rank 9 Demonic beasts, dying as she brought down one of the beasts and forced the two others to flee. Howling Wind Emperor Yan Huang, died in battle against an unknown race that came from a place only known as the Hidden World, but he managed to slay all the attackers before he fell to his wounds."

Liang Chen almost felt his heart skip a beat when he heard these achievements. Turned his entire body into a massive defensive formation, fought back three Rank 9 Demonic beasts, singlehandedly holding back three people at the Sovereign God realm. Just how mighty were these people when they were alive, just how glorious were they? At the same time, something else also caught Liang Chen's attention.

"The people who have the surname Yan, did they all specialize in the law of wind?"

Of the six people, four had the surname Yan, and each of them had a title that mentioned wind. He also knew that Yan Ling used the law of wind, could it be that it ran in the family? Mao Zexi nodded her head, a wistful sigh escaping her lips as she looked at the statues.

"Indeed. They failed to awaken their bloodline, but even while dormant, their bloodline gave them great control over the law of wind, making it easy for them to cultivate it."

Having a bloodline that would help one cultivate was the dream of most cultivators, as it would make things far easier for them. Hearing that the Yan family had a bloodline, Liang Chen couldn't help but be surprised.

"They have a bloodline, and such a strong one?"

It was only after Liang Chen had his bloodline awakened that it started to actually help him cultivate, completing his two lotuses and creating the third one. His body devouring the poison and lightning elements to transform his body to suit those two elements wasn't thanks to his bloodline, that was just how the body of the Sebettu were. And yet, the bloodline of the Yan family was able to help them cultivate, even when it wasn't awakened. Just how strong was this bloodline? Kong Heng was the one who responded this time, giving a nod of his head.

"They do. The founder of the sect, Yan Yi was the child of a human and a Sky Wolf, a Divine beast of the same rank as a True Dragon, making him a member of the demon race. But his father wasn't just any Sky Wolf, he was a ninth-generation descendant of Star God Sirius. The sect doesn't have much public information about Star God Sirius, but what little information is public states that he was a Demonic beast following someone known as the Nine Star Demon God, and that he is the progenitor of almost all wolf-type Demonic beasts in this universe. None of Yan Yi's descendants have been able to awaken their bloodline, causing it to become more and more diluted, but it still helps them a little."

Kong Heng and the others didn't know the significance of that one title, but the moment Liang Chen heard it, his breath caught in his throat. The Nine Star Demon God? He was someone who ruled over 9 of the 81 major universes in this multiverse, just how strong was the bloodline of a Demonic beast capable of following him?

Mao Zexi and the others didn't notice Liang Chen's utter shock, Mao Zexi giving a light shake of her head and looking at Liang Chen with a solemn expression.

"So, now you know why this is the most important place in the sect, as it holds a large portion of our history. Whenever you come here, make sure to show your due respect to those who are resting here."

Many of the people resting here had fought and died for the sect, none of the disciples would allow anyone to make fun of or disrespect these graves. Liang Chen nodded his head to show his understanding, following Yao Ming and the others as they started to return to the gate that brought them into this hidden realm.

After leaving the graveyard, Mao Zexi led the group back to the large valley, this time heading down the valley. She continued to lead the group down the valley until she reached the spot where the tunnels leading to the various training grounds were located.

The tunnels to the training grounds were carved into the right side of the valley, but Mao Zexi brought the group to a large crimson door carved into the left side of the valley. Pushing open the door and entering it brought the group into another hidden realm, one that was filled with the stench of blood.

Liang Chen once again found himself standing on a large plain, several large holes dug into the ground. Each hole was filled with a bubbling red liquid, several herbs and flowers floating in the liquid. Liang Chen felt his instincts rear their head, telling him that this red liquid was Demonic beast blood that would be very beneficial to him. Mao Zexi didn't bring the group closer, pointing at the holes filled with blood from their position, which was a short distance away from the closest one.

"These are what we simply call the Blood Pits. They are filled with Demonic beast blood and various herbs, and an array at the bottom of the pit helps control the amount of energy that the blood releases. By paying contribution points, you can bathe in these pits and use the energy to cultivate your body."

Liang Chen knew how he could use this blood to cultivate his body, but he was curious how other people did it, so he looked forward to learning more about it the next day. The group quickly left the Blood Pits, Mao Zexi pointing at the tunnels that led to the various training grounds.

"These are the more standard training grounds, each tunnel leads to a spatial formation that will send you to a prepared training ground. Each training ground specializes in one element, you can see where each tunnel leads by reading the engravings on the tunnel walls. These also cost contribution points, so keep that in mind."

Yan Ling had already told Liang Chen a little about these training grounds, but Mao Zexi and the others didn't know about what happened between Liang Chen and Yan Ling after he entered the valley.

After showing him how the wall of the tunnel was engraved with a sign that indicated which training ground it led to, Mao Zexi led the group further down the valley. This time, she stopped at the part of the valley where the entire left side was filled with cyan colored doors, the living quarters, pointing at them with one hand and tapping Liang Chen's chest with the other.

"These are the living quarters, the piece of jade that melted into your chest will point you toward which of the doors leads to your house, so you can just follow it."

Liang Chen followed her advice, connecting his mind with the jade that had fused with his body. A faint stream of energy suddenly left his body, floating over to one of the cyan doors that was located close to the bottom of the valley wall. After making sure that Liang Chen found his house, Kong Heng and the others led Liang Chen up the valley again, quickly arriving by the second palace, the Storm Hall palace.

The palace looked the same as the Wolf Hall palace, deep green in color and square in shape, with a large dome covering the top of the building. Standing amidst the six spires that surrounded the palace was a purple pagoda that had six floors. Mao Zexi was about to explain what it was, but was interrupted by Yao Ming, who spoke up faster than her.

"This is the Myriad Treasures Pagoda, this is where you can spend contribution points to buy various resources or items that you might need. There are people working inside the pagoda, but you can just use the jade given to you earlier to check what the pagoda sells, you can even buy things directly through the jade, only needing to come here to pick up the items after you paid for them. It really is rather convenient when you want to laze around and don't feel like coming here just to look at their inventory."

Mao Zexi jabbed Yao Ming in the side with her fingers, but didn't do anything else as punishment. Liang Chen gazed at the pagoda, curious as to what type of resources and items he could find. His spear had shattered and his bow was in bad shape, so he could use some new weapons soon.

The group then left the area in front of the pagoda, heading back to the Wolf Hall palace. This time, they walked around the palace and headed to the back, revealing that there was actually a rather large building hidden away behind the palace. The building was pitch black in color and looked almost like a gothic castle, a rather pressuring atmosphere radiating from it.

"This is the Mission Castle, this is where you can come to pick up missions if you want to earn contribution points. They have all sorts of missions of varying difficulty, so I highly suggest checking them out after you have spent a bit more time cultivating."

Mao Zexi believed that it was best for Liang Chen to quietly cultivate until he was 18 or 20 years old, the same age that other disciples of the sect were when they were first allowed to leave the sect. At that point, his mind would be sturdier and better prepared for the cruelty of the cultivation world. Of course, Liang Chen had long since learned about the brutality and cruelty of the world, but they didn't know that.

After showing him the Mission Castle, the group returned to the front of the Wolf Hall palace. Mao Zexi stopped the group in front of the palace, introducing the various spires that were standing around the two palaces.

"This is the last stop of the tour, as well as the place where you are to meet us tomorrow. This horn-like spire is also called the Thousand Technique Pavilion, as it holds most of the techniques and skills of the sect. Reading a summary of the techniques cost nothing, but buying them cost contribution points. But all these techniques only take up the lower half of the spire, the upper half is fully dedicated to the Chaotic Flesh technique."

"The eight other spires you can see in the sect are much the same. Their lower halves are dedicated libraries that contain books from not only this planet, but even other planets. Anyone can enter these lower halves, but the upper halves are off-limits, dedicated to one supreme technique."

Liang Chen looked at the nine towers with interest. Books not only from this planet, but also from other planets? Just what sort of information would they contain, what could he learn? It seemed like he would have to spend some time reading a few of the books in the libraries. After finishing the tour, Mao Zexi pat Liang Chen on the shoulder, a charming smile on her face.

"Junior Brother Chen, I look forward to seeing if you have an affinity with any of our supreme techniques. If you do, cultivating them will be a bit easier for you."

Liang Chen didn't know what it meant to have an affinity for one of the supreme techniques, but he was very interested in finding out. All he had to do now was wait for the morning, and then he could properly start cultivating in this Storm Wolf sect.
