A Sexagenary Cycle Flew By (33)

With about six months to go before the Four Symbols Alliance Assembly, Yang Tianyou and his wife settled into a small wooden cabin.

Not long after, the Eight Desolations Saber Saint returned from the outside world, accompanied by a woman dressed in feathered robes and adorned with jewels, who was extremely beautiful.

"Junior Brother Great White, let me introduce you. This is Fairy Qingyu, the Grand Elder of Soaring Phoenix Tower, Sage Manifestation powerhouse!"

"Greetings, Senior Qingyu!" Yang Tianyou bowed respectfully. The Eight Desolations Saber Saint treated him as a junior brother, but that didn't mean all the powerful figures of the Four Symbols Legacy respected him. Yang Tianyou was well aware of his own limitations, so he adopted a rather humble posture.

As expected, Fairy Qingyu glanced at Yang Tianyou, gave a soft "hmm," and then said nothing more.

This wasn't because she was targeting Yang Tianyou, but rather because Fairy Qingyu herself had a very aloof personality, and she treated the Eight Desolations Saber Saint with the same indifferent attitude.

Yang Tianyou naturally didn't care about these details. He could handle other people's compliments, so there was no reason for other people's indifference to make him uncomfortable.

As his spiritual realm improved, so did his mental strength. With Yang Tianyou's current State of Mind, even if someone insulted him to his face, he wouldn't get angry. He would just look for an opportunity to beat that person to death!

Around the white jade table sat the Eight Desolations Saber Saint, Fairy Qingyu, and Yang Tianyou. The former took out a Jade Slip and handed it to Yang Tianyou, saying, "Junior Brother, this contains the list of participants for this alliance meeting. Take a look and have a clear understanding."

"Alright!" Yang Tianyou nodded slightly, then scanned the Jade Slip with his Divine Sense, browsing the information within.

The Four Symbols Legacy is an extremely loose yet vast organization with numerous members, but upon closer examination, it can be mainly divided into four categories.

The first type is Rogue Cultivators who pass the Four Symbols Nine Trials test, obtain the Four Symbols Sect's inheritance, and then establish their own power outside the sect. Moreover, these independent Rogue Cultivators who have obtained the inheritance are still alive.

The most representative force is the Eight Desolations Arena.

The second category consists of disciples from forces below the county level who, after passing the Four Symbols Nine Trials assessment, receive the Four Symbols Sect's inheritance, along with the entire force behind them, becoming members of the Four Symbols Legacy.

Representative powers: the Yang Household and the Falling Star Pavilion.

Third, the forces left behind by the deceased founders of the Four Symbols Sect who were Old Ancestor of the sect, or by the fallen members of forces who held the status of disciples of the Four Symbols Sect.

Representative factions include Soaring Phoenix Tower, Azure Flame Alliance, Dark Nether Sect, and Crouching Dragon Monastery.

The founding Old Ancestors of these forces were all disciples of the Four Symbols Sect. However, due to the passage of time, they either perished or Ascension. Their forces were left behind, but their connection with the Four Symbols Sect was almost completely severed, except for the Soaring Phoenix Tower.

Fourth, there are those who pass the Four Symbols Nine Trials assessment but do not establish a faction and remain as Rogue Cultivator Cultivators.

If the Eight Desolations Saber Saint hadn't created the Eight Desolations Arena, he would have been a member of this category.

The most representative figure in this category is Guizhenzi, a powerful cultivator at the Sage Manifestation, a well-known Rogue Cultivator in the Lu Wu Realm, who is unrestrained, carefree, and often travels to various Perilous Land.

These four types of members together form the vast Four Symbols Legacy.

If ranked by loyalty, the order would be: 4, 1, 2, 3.

For Rogue Cultivators, who are content with just themselves and have no family to worry about, and whose Destiny has likely been altered by the Four Symbols Sect's legacy, the fourth type of Rogue Cultivator is clearly the most loyal to the Four Symbols Sect.

Even Guizhenzi, who had cultivated to the Sage Manifestation Realm, was able to turn his life around because he received a great deal of benefits and inheritance in the Four Symbols Secret Realm.

Although this person is unrestrained and free-spirited, he is extremely grateful and has helped many members of the Four Symbols Legacy over the years. He has a very high reputation in the Four Symbols Legacy, second only to the Eight Desolations Saber Saint, and even higher than Fairy Qingyu.

The second most loyal arena is the Eight Desolations Arena.

The founding Old Ancestor was a disciple of the Four Symbols Sect, and the entire sect bears the indelible mark of the Four Symbols Sect.

The third most loyal group is the Yang Household, whose members have become disciples of the Four Symbols Sect.

The loyalty of these factions depends on the disciple's position within that faction.

In a sense, families like the Yang Household should be considered on par with the Eight Desolations Arena.

After all, Yang Tianyou's status in the Lineage was too high, no less than that of the first Old Ancestor Yang Canglang, and perhaps even higher.

Those ranked last in loyalty were the founders of the sects Old Ancestor had perished, or members of the forces who originally held the status of disciples of the Four Symbols Sect.

Such a force naturally has no loyalty to the Four Symbols Sect.

However, there are exceptions, such as Soaring Phoenix Tower.

The inheritance of the Four Symbols Sect's Saint Son is not so easy to obtain. This thing is passed down from generation to generation. Once you have received it, you must pass on the position of Saint Son or Lineage Master, whether you perish or Ascension immortality.

In addition, the same was true for the ten Retainer the Saint Son, who were passed down from generation to generation until the Four Symbols Sect was rebuilt and put on the right track.

This is bound by Heavenly Dao Oath, and no one may violate it.

For example, if the Eight Desolations Saber Saint were to Ascension to the Upper Realm in the future, he would have to hand over his identity as the Master of the Xuanwu Lineage Master to Wuhuang and have her make the same Heavenly Dao Oath that he had made back then. Only in this way could he sever the karmic Karma and Ascension the Upper Realm.

Although Fairy Qingyu did not participate in the Four Symbols Nine Trials, she was actually the Lineage Master the Vermilion Bird Lineage, which was passed down from Fire Phoenix Fairy. She was the fourth generation to inherit this lineage.

Therefore, although Soaring Phoenix Tower belongs to the third category, its loyalty is similar to that of the Eight Desolations Arena and the Yang Household. They are all core members of the Four Symbols Legacy.
