The Great Sage of Humanity
Chapter 14, Nature

...All the marks showed that, although Lu Ye was not very talented, the result could not be just one leaf. [Does it have anything to do with the Skill Tree? There are some Spiritual Patterns on the tree leaves, but how do they help me in my cultivation?]...

Other than the Skill Tree, he was unable to find any other explanation. In that case, he felt the Skill Tree was not as simple as it seemed.

“Nona Yu, there's something I want to ask you.” He decided to change the subject to stop feeling sad.

“Ask only, Brother Lu.” Yu Xiao Tiea looked at him seriously.

After pondering how he should say it, he said, “The problem is, my first Spiritual Points are full now, and I want to open the second one. However, I can't find where it is. How should I handle this?”

This question has been bothering him for a few days. He thought that after his first Spiritual Point was full, he could easily unlock the second one. However, after several attempts, he was still unable to find the second Spiritual Point. He had even wasted a lot of Spiritual Strength during the process. There was no doubt that Yu Xiao Tiea was more experienced than him, and he was his only friend in this place, which was why he wanted to ask her about it.

“For people like us who are just starting to cultivate, this is indeed a complicated matter. It has nothing to do with talent or talent. The main problem is that our Spiritual Strength is still weak, making it difficult for us to find the Spiritual Point. If you want to solve this problem, you should explore it yourself or look for a strong cultivator to help you. When I opened the second Spiritual Point, it was the cultivator from the Evil Moon Valley who helped direct my Spiritual Strength to the second point. To do that, at the very least a cultivator had to be in the Cloud River Realm.”

After hearing that, Lu Ye smiled bitterly. “Then, I'll explore it myself.” He could not think of anyone who could help him.

“Brother Lu, all Spiritual Point Source cultivators are similar, but due to the fact that we cultivate different techniques, the location of the second Spiritual Point of each individual is different. If you do not have the appropriate technique, I recommend that you do not unblock your second point at will. Otherwise, you will get into trouble.”

“I have a guide of a technique.” The Gold Liberation Technique might not be a good technique, but Lu Ye had no other choice.

“By the way, you just mentioned Cloud River Realm... Is this some kind of realm cultivator?” He recalled that when he was inside the tent, Third Brother mentioned the Real Lake Realm and Divine Ocean Realm, which he had never heard of.

During his one year stay in the mine, he rarely spoke to anyone and he had no friends. All the information he learned about cultivation was hearsay, which was why the information was fragmented.

"Yes." Yeah." Yu Xiao Tiea nodded. “For cultivators, there are four main cultivation realms, namely Spirit Creek Realm, Cloud River Realm, Real Lake Realm, and Divine Sea Realm. There are nine orders in each large region.”

[Rivers, Rivers, Lakes and Oceans. The categorization is interesting and straightforward.]

“Then, are we at Spirit Creek Realm?” Lu Ye asked.

Smiling, Yu Xiao Tiea shook his head and replied, “Not yet. We are just enlightened people. We must unlock more Spiritual Points so that our own Spiritual Strength can pass through these points and form the circulation of the Cosmic Orbit. Only when our Spiritual Strength passes through points like streams in a river can we be considered as Spirit Creek Realm Masters, and at that time we are entitled to be called cultivators.

Lu Ye asked in shock, “You mean we are not yet cultivators? Who are we then?”

“Calon Cultivators?” Yu Xiao Tiea tilted his head, which made him look adorable.

"All right." Lu Ye accepted that he was just a would-be cultivator. He thought that he had already been considered a cultivator ever since he had gained enlightenment. But now he seems to be too naive.

Realizing that he had no basic knowledge of the cultivation world, Yu Xiao Tiea decided to tell him more about it. “There are countless Sects in Jiu Zhou. If we talk about Bing Zhou alone, there are over a thousand Sects and Clans of different sizes. A Sect was considered strong or weak based on the cultivation of their inner disciples. If the inner disciples were in the higher realms, the Sect would be considered strong. In addition, this Sect is also tiered.”

“Each main field of a cultivator is divided into nine orders. The sect was also divided into nine tiers. The Ninth Level was the lowest, and the First Level was the best. I'm not sure how they are actually categorized, but there are definitely top cultivators in the Divine Sea Realm in the First to Third Level Sect. I remember that the number of such cultivators was also considered. For a Fourth Level to Sixth Level Sect, there should be enough Real Lake Realm Masters. For the Seventh to Ninth Level Sect, they only needed a few Cloud River Realm Masters.”

“How about those who only have Spirit Creek Realm Masters?” Lu Ye asked curiously.

Yu Xiao Tiea pursed his lips and smiled. “Master Nature Spirit Creek has no right to establish Sect.”

Lu Ye started to blush because he felt so stupid.

Yu Xiao Tiea continued by saying, “In Bing Zhou, we have ten First Level Sects, and they are collectively called One Palace, Two Shrines, Three Sects, and Four Clans. One Palace refers to the Auspicious Cloud Palace. The two temples are Yama Temple and Pelangi Temple. The three Sects were the True Sect, the Green Jade Sect, and the Rasho Sect. The four Clans were the Infinity Clan, the Red Moon Clan, the Northern Profound Sword Clan, and the Sky Origin Clan. The coalition of Grand Sky and Thousand Demon Ridge each occupied half of it. There are many Divine Sea Realm Masters in every Sect.”

Lu Ye recalled that Third Senior Brother told him that the Green Jade Sect was one of the top five Sects in Bing Zhou in terms of comprehensive strength. At that moment, he thought that the Sect was indeed highly ranked, but he did not expect that the Sect was actually very powerful. There were over a thousand Sects in Bing Zhou, so the Green Jade Sect was truly incredible if it could surpass the others and become one of the top ten Sects.

“This time, in order to launch an attack on the Evil Moon Valley, the Grand Sky Coalition has dispatched the Vice Leader of the Coalition. He is from the True Sect.”

“Is the Vice Leader of the Coalition surnamed Pang?” Lu Ye indifferently asked.

“I'm not sure. How do you know?"

"I just heard it from somewhere." Lu Ye did not explain it in detail. “It seems the Valley of the Evil Moon is quite tough. Two of the ten First Level Sects, the True Sect and the Green Jade Sect, had united to destroy the Evil Moon Valley.”

Yu Xiao Tiea replied with a smile, “That's not how you judge their strength. Although the Evil Moon Valley was quite powerful, it was still not comparable to a First Level Sect. I think it should be around the Fifth or Sixth Level. Although the top two Sects had united, not everyone in the First Level Sect was the best cultivator.”

"You're right." Lu Ye agreed with him.

Yu Xiao Tiea continued by saying, “In addition to the two First Level Sects, we still have a few other Sects. The exam's almost over. Anyone who had a jade tablet had a chance to join one of the Sects. Brother Lu, don't miss this opportunity.”

Talent and talent tests were only to select people who could cultivate. Joining one of the Sects to cultivate and learn new techniques was a real opportunity. It was not because these sects lacked disciples. First Level Sects like the Fair Sect and Green Jade Sect never lacked disciples.

They somewhat agreed on such a way to accept disciples. For people like Lu Ye and Yu Xiao Tiea who had been saved, even though the world was big, they had nowhere else to go. Therefore, the Grand Sky Coalition should help them settle down and help those with talent to cultivate to join one of the Sects. They will not suffer any loss. Maybe they can even find some very talented people.

Lu Ye smiled. “I don't think any Sect will accept someone like me who only has one leaf.”

“You should see the bright side.” Yu Xiao Tiea comforted him. “Your advantage is that you have been enlightened. There were about ten sects that came. I'm sure you can join one of them.”

“Thank you for your kind words.”
