Reverend Insanitys Biography of Qitiab

Ten days later, Qi Tian left the Misty Valley.

At this point, he was riding a thousand-beast level Iron Feather Flying Crane, dressed in a dark blue robe that billowed behind him. His gaze was sharp.

The number of Iron Feather Flying Cranes under his command had increased to over a thousand. Among them were more than ten Hundred Beast Kings, and only one Thousand Beast King.

With this army, plus Qi Tian's combat strength at the peak of the third transformation, defeating most fourth-tier beginner Gu Masters would be a piece of cake.

Back in Shangjia City, Qi Tian had managed to defeat the fourth-tier beginner Gu Master Yan Tu when he was at the peak of the third transformation, but the battle had been hard. Now, fighting someone of Yan Tu's caliber would be much easier.

What truly pleased Qi Tian was the legacy he had obtained during his exploration.

It was the legacy of a fifth-tier Gu Master, and Qi Tian wasn't focused on the legacy itself, but rather the identity of the Gu Master who left it behind.

The Gu Master was called Iron Feather Daoist, an elder of the Xianhe Sect, known for his profound aptitude.

After passing through several trials, Qi Tian obtained the legacy and learned why Iron Feather Daoist had left it behind.

Iron Feather Daoist had undertaken an important gathering mission for the sect and had ventured deep into the Misty Valley to complete it. After successfully completing the mission, he encountered danger and was fatally wounded. His Thousand Crane Swarm, once led by the Thousand Beast King, had produced a new Thousand Beast King after the old one died.

Iron Feather Daoist left behind a trial for others to inherit his legacy, and after considerable effort, Qi Tian passed the trial and inherited the legacy.

Regarding the battle in Misty Valley, Qi Tian had a further speculation.

Since the flock of flying cranes was a wild beast group, it was clear that the forceful Gu Master who had investigated them may have had decent tracking skills but wasn't particularly outstanding. It was likely that, like Qi Tian, he had also used the results from the Gu Immortal's exploration to enter the deeper regions of the Misty Valley.

"If that's the case, there might be more to it, but for now, it doesn't concern me. I'll pay attention next time I explore."

Within the legacy, there were five or six fourth-tier Gu insects, all of them fine specimens. Iron Feather Daoist had originally possessed two fifth-tier Gu insects, but unfortunately, they had been destroyed and not left behind.

"Having obtained this legacy, I can now join the Xianhe Sect with full justification."

Middle Continent is vast, stretching across millions of miles, filled with abundant spiritual energy and numerous sects. Heroes and figures of all kinds, both righteous and demonic, are hidden within, making it a land of opportunity.

The rulers of the Middle Continent are the ten ancient sects, which, before the Five Domains War, held a firm grip over the region.

For Qi Tian to establish himself in Middle Continent, he would inevitably need to interact with the ten ancient sects.

Misty Valley is located in the southern part of Middle Continent, within the influence of the Xianhe Sect. The Xianhe Sect is one of the ten ancient sects in Middle Continent, with deep roots and many Gu Immortals.

Obtaining the identity of a disciple of the Xianhe Sect would greatly aid Qi Tian in his future plans to claim the Fox Immortal's Blessed Land. Even after ascending to immortality, holding the status of a disciple of the Xianhe Sect would be beneficial.

The most important aspect of Middle Continent is that its sects operate differently from the family-based systems of the other four regions.

In families, kinship is the main bond, with the family members being the nurtured ones. However, in sects, the master-disciple relationship replaces blood ties. Sects recruit disciples widely; as long as someone has the necessary aptitude and character, they can be accepted into the sect.

This is why Qi Tian was confident he could join the Xianhe Sect.

Of course, Qi Tian wouldn't directly go to the Xianhe Sect to participate in the lengthy selection process, as that would take too much time. It would take years or even decades to become an elite disciple.

Within the Xianhe Sect, there are several tiers, from outer disciples to inner disciples, elite disciples, true disciples, elders, and the sect leader. The higher the tier, the stricter the competition for spots, with only a few available. To rise through the ranks, one needs not only strength but also the completion of numerous sect tasks to prove loyalty to the sect.

Unlike families, where loyalty is often unquestioned, sects require disciples to demonstrate their dedication.

If Qi Tian were an ordinary disciple, that would be one thing, but as an elite disciple, the competition is fierce.
