Has Our Vast Heaven Sect's Outer Sect Gotten This Ridiculous?

Since receiving the news that Ma Liang had been demoted to the outer sect, the outer sect disciples knew that from this day forward, Senior Brother Ma Liang would be the sole king of the outer sect.

Outer disciples are either less talented or have made mistakes; they are not mentally ill.

This time, Ma Liang was said to have been demoted to the outer sect, and even forbidden from ever being promoted to the inner sect.

But every disciple of the Vast Heaven Sect, whether inner or outer, knows that Ma Liang's achievements today are not because he is the disciple of the vice sect leader. To put it bluntly, his position as the vice sect leader's disciple is just a title.

Ma Liang owes everything he has today to the guidance of his Senior Brother Xinghe.

Ma Liang always referred to himself as Senior Brother Xinghe's most trusted confidant when he was out in public.

The Fengdu Grand Formation is a testament to Ma Liang's status. It is no exaggeration to say that if the sect were to take away Ma Liang's Fengdu Grand Formation this time, Ma Liang would be truly doomed.

But they managed to infiltrate the outer gate without taking the Fengdu Token?

Liu Bo wasn't stupid; Liu Bo knew perfectly well that it was all just for show.

After all, Ma Liang had indeed acted rather arrogantly outside this time, and it was said that all the sects in the world were paying attention to this matter.

Although our Vast Heaven Sect is large and powerful and fearless, we are a righteous sect, so we still have to do some face-saving work to maintain our reputation.

The punishment given to Ma Liang was merely a formality to appease the outside world. It seemed particularly severe, but everyone in the Vast Heaven Sect knew it was utterly useless.

Liu Bo considered himself a tyrant in the outer sect, but that was all in the past.

Who is Ma Liang? He is Senior Brother Xinghe's most trusted confidant, not to mention Ma Liang methods.

Don't let Senior Brother Ma Liang's cheerful demeanor fool you; he can be kicked away by Senior Brother Xinghe and told to get lost at the slightest provocation.

But that's Senior Brother Xinghe... As the most outstanding disciple of their generation, Ma Liang now controls the Ghost Emperor with the help of the Fengdu Grand Formation. Such Ma Liang would be wealthy not only in an ordinary sect, but even in one of the other Ten Great Sects, just as an elder.

In this battle against the Great Moon Kingdom, if Elder Ling Su of the Cloud Firmament Sect hadn't arrived in time, even Elder Tian Qingquan of the Cloud Firmament Sect would probably be gone.

Aside from Senior Brother Xinghe, who would dare to kick Ma Liang at will without a second thought? Who else would dare to be arrogant towards him? Not to mention outer Senior Brother Ma Liang, many inner disciples would only be able to call themselves "little brother" in his presence.

Therefore, at this moment, Ma Liang didn't look like a disciple who had been demoted to the outer sect at all; he looked more like a sect bigwig who had come to inspect the outer sect...

"Senior Brother Ma Liang, look, this is the outer sect's training ground. It wasn't like this before. It's only because of Senior Brother Xinghe's efforts over the past two years that the sect has become prosperous and strong, which has given us the resources to rebuild the training ground for the outer sect."

Liu Bo was incredibly shrewd; the moment he opened his mouth, a satisfied smile appeared on Senior Brother Ma Liang's face.

"Xiaobo Bo... Although Senior Brother Xinghe has always been in the inner sect, he cares deeply about both inner and outer sect disciples, treating even the Senior Brother Xinghe same."

"Senior Brother Ma Liang is right! The outer sect will never forget Senior Brother Xinghe's kindness!"

Continue the inspection...

"Senior Brother Ma Liang, please look... this is the disciples' canteen..."

"Senior Brother Ma Liang, please look... This is where we disciples usually cultivate our character and temperament..."

"Senior Brother Ma Liang, please look..."

Ma Liang wasn't unfamiliar with the outer sect; however, Ma Liang didn't know much about it. It was only after Liu Bo gave him a tour recently that Ma Liang realized the outer sect had changed quite a bit in the past two years.

In fact, the conditions for outer disciples in any sect are not very good, since outer disciples have limited talent. However, this is not the case for the Vast Heaven Sect.

Does our sect's outer sect even count as an outer sect?

Looking at the various facilities and resources, Ma Liang thought that the inner sects of the Ten Great Sects were probably just like that.

Just as Ma Liang was lamenting whether the resources and conditions of the outer sect were a bit too outrageous, Liu Bo gave an order, and the outer sect disciples all gathered over.

"Senior Brother Ma Liang, it's time for the outer disciples to showcase their talents..." With a wave of his hand, Liu Bo signaled the outer disciples to begin displaying themselves.

Ma Liang didn't think much of it at first, but when he saw the outer disciples starting to show off their skills one by one, Ma Liang stunned!

Um... was that outer sect disciple who just refined Third Rank pill?

Xiaobo Bo... what the hell are you talking to your Senior Brother Ma Liang about?

Someone capable of refining Third Rank pills must at least be a peak grade Second Rank alchemist, right?

Is this level of alchemist someone who just started learning this year?

Logically speaking, shouldn't an alchemist of this caliber be present at the Spirit Crane Palace? What mistake did he make? Was he demoted to the outer sect?

That shouldn't be the case... This little guy looks quite cute, he doesn't seem like the type to make mistakes and be demoted to the outer sect.

When asked, Liu Bo could only sigh and lament.

"Senior Brother Ma Liang, you must be talking about Fan Xin... He is indeed an outer disciple, not someone who was demoted to the outer sect. Fan Xin has exceptional talent... It's just that he was a bit unlucky; he happened to run into Mu Bai and the others when he entered the sect this year... Although his talent is quite good, in the past, becoming an inner disciple would have been no problem at all..."

"But this year... just being able to enter the outer sect is already extremely good..."

After listening to Xiaobo's words, Ma Liang nodded solemnly.

Xiaobo is right. It's not that Fan Xin isn't good enough; it's just that he ran into Mu Bai and his gang of bastards...

Ma Liang often visited Spirit Crane Palace and often freeloaded at the Medicine King Palace, but Ma Liang always felt unlucky whenever he encountered Mu Bai and the people from the Muyue Kingdom.

Because the people of the Muyue Kingdom don't speak human language at all.

"Senior Brother Ma Liang... aren't we, the Muyue Kingdom, too weak? Besides having better talent... stronger ability to cultivate spiritual herbs... higher quality pills... faster cultivation techniques... what else do we have... we've utterly disappointed Senior Brother Xinghe's expectations..."

"We've made no progress on our research into an automated alchemy system, Senior Brother Ma Liang. I feel like I'm a complete failure!"

Listen to this! Is this something a human being could say?

Ma Liang and Mu Bai grew up together, so Ma Liang knows Mu Bai quite well.

Ma Liang swears on his integrity that Mu Bai absolutely did not intentionally provoke anyone; he genuinely meant it.

The problem is, don't you people in the Muyue Kingdom have any idea what kind of talent you have?

Are you even letting other people live?

So it's not that Fan Xin isn't good enough, it's just that Mu Bai is too beastly...

Ma Liang continued to observe the outer disciples' situation under Xiaobo's guidance, but the more he looked, the more speechless Ma Liang became.

Wait... that guy who was almost at the Fourth Rank was also an outer disciple? He'd only been in the sect for a year! Let alone in other sects, Ma Liang thought if he were in the same year as him, he'd definitely be one of the best. So what's with him only being stuck in the outer sect?

"Senior Brother Ma Liang is talking about Xiao Chong, right? Xiao Chong's talent is quite good, and in theory, he should have a chance to enter the inner sect. However, Xiao Chong's mental state isn't good enough... so he can only enter the outer sect..."

Liu Bo's words made Ma Liang realize once again that the disciples our Vast Heaven Sect is currently recruiting have become ridiculously outrageous?

Many of these outer disciples would be considered geniuses among geniuses in other sects, but why are they relegated to the outer sect in our Vast Heaven Sect?

To reiterate, it's not that they aren't excellent; it's just that their classmates were too beasts.

Ma Liang looked at the various exceptionally talented outer disciples with a face full of admiration.

Luckily, I, Ma Liang, met Senior Brother Xinghe early on. Otherwise, if I had arrived two years later, wouldn't I have been sent directly to Tianyi Spirit Mine to become a miner's disciple?

Liu Bo expressed a different opinion regarding Senior Brother Ma Liang's statement.

"Senior Brother Ma Liang, becoming a miner's disciple isn't easy these days... I've heard the competition is fierce, and many powerful Lineage are going to great lengths to send their disciples to Tianyi Spirit Mine to become miner's disciples."

Ma Liang didn't know what to say... Things were alright when he was in the inner sect, even though there were many beasts among the inner sect disciples.

But those were all recruited by Senior Brother Xinghe; if they weren't good enough, they wouldn't be qualified to enter the inner sect.

Is it really okay for outer sect disciples to be this outrageous these days?

The outer disciples of other sects are all half-dead...

Look at our Vast Heaven Sect's outer disciples... their cultivation speed, their talent, their level of enlightenment... and you call this outer disciples?

I'm Ma Liang I met Senior Brother Xinghe early on, otherwise, if I were still in the outer sect a few years later, I'd probably be bullied by everyone...

Liu Bo, an older outer disciple, pointed at the numerous exceptionally talented outer disciples and said, "You all used to boast about your extraordinary talent and your desire to enter the inner sect. Now look at yourselves, what are you compared to Senior Brother Ma Liang? Even Senior Brother Ma Liang has come to the outer sect, so do you think you have the right to even dream of entering the inner sect?"

"All of you, focus on your cultivation. When you reach the Seventh Rank, you might have a chance to visit the inner sect!"

Many outer disciples bowed their heads and sighed in admiration.

When I heard Senior Brother Liu Bo say this before, I always thought Liu Bo was being arrogant.

But today, the outer disciples were truly convinced.

What level of cultivation has Senior Brother Ma Liang reached?

That's someone who possesses the power of the Ghost Emperor... In many sects, he would easily be at the elder level, but Senior Brother Ma Liang was demoted to the outer sect, and I heard that Senior Brother Xinghe was even stripped of his personal disciple status.

Even someone like Senior Brother Ma Liang can only stay in the outer sect, so what do we have to be dissatisfied with?

What? Leaving the Vast Heaven Sect for another sect?

Although many outer disciples are resentful of not being able to enter the inner sect, leaving is definitely out of the question.

Since our outer disciples now receive just as many resources and treatment as the inner disciples of Martial Emperor City, why should we give up better treatment to go to a worse place?

Is it all for the status of an inner disciple?

Ma Liang was filled with emotion as he looked at the many outer disciples.

I, Ma Liang, am no ordinary fish; upon encountering the Xinghe, I will transform into a dragon!

Ma Liang had never thought of himself as particularly outstanding before, but today Ma Liang realized that, without anyone noticing, he seemed to have reached a height that many people could never achieve. However, Ma Liang knew that this was not his limit.

The position of Grand Elder of the Vast Heaven Sect is my lifelong pursuit, Ma Liang. I am serious about assisting Senior Brother Xinghe Ma Liang!

Just as Ma Liang was reflecting on how he needed to keep working hard, a discordant sound suddenly came from the outer gate.

"My fate is in my own hands, not in the heavens! You treacherous dog Chu Xinghe! I, Chu Cheng, will make you pay a hundredfold one day!"
