Secrets of the Ancient Realm

Tie Xiaochuan fell into deep silence, as if recalling something. After a while, he smiled and said:

"Wasn't it because wielding blades and swords felt satisfying? Before the Prenatal Realm, I focused on body refinement. After reaching the Heavenly Human Realm and joining the Inner Sect, I entered Xuan Gang Peak!"

The Tianli Sect's Outer Sect had eight pulses, divided according to different cultivation focuses: Heavenly Flame Pulse, Earth Rock Pulse, Gold Blade Pulse, Azure Wood Pulse, Mystic Water Pulse, Xunfeng, Thunder Sky Pulse, and Illusory Moon. Each pulse had its own specialized cultivation arts.

The Inner Sect, meanwhile, had five peaks, divided according to the Tianli Sect's Five Classics.

They were Taichu Peak, Imperial Sky Peak, Cloud Palace Peak, Xuan Gang Peak, and Qingyan Peak.

Taichu Peak cultivated the Taichu Myriad Manifestations Art, focusing on comprehending heaven and earth to cultivate primordial energy. At its height, Taichu Peak had once led the Tianli Sect for tens of thousands of years.

Imperial Sky Peak took the Nine Heavens Dragon-Commanding Art as its peak-defending art and specialized in sword control. They believed flying swords were the foundation, so they mainly nurtured flying swords and entered the Dao through the sword. The stronger the flying sword, the stronger their combat power.

Cloud Palace Peak cultivated the Cloud Palace Heart Sutra and likewise specialized in sword control. However, they cultivated the art of multiple swords. Bai Wuchen, for example, cultivated nine swords. Combined as one, or divided into nine, their power was still formidable.

Xuan Gang Peak, where Tie Xiaochuan belonged, cultivated the Heavenly Dipper Sky-Shattering Art. They favored swords or sabers and close-quarters combat, so they mainly focused on body refinement.

The fifth peak was Qingyan Peak, where Ji Mingfeng belonged. They cultivated the Heavenly Mystery Qingyan Record, specializing in spell arts
