Recruitment and Disciple Life

Entry

Candidates join through the assessment conducted by the Three Sects and Two Halls. Passing the assessment, completing the sect trial, and reaching the Falan Sect alive qualifies a candidate for admission. 126

• The sect recruits across the Eastern Mu Continent; estimates for one intake range from six hundred to one thousand disciples. 169
• Ye Tong was admitted despite entering at Qi Refining Eighth Level, the lowest cultivation level ever recorded for a Falan Sect recruit. 134
• New disciples receive a disciple token, sect uniform, daily necessities, two Silver Crystals, and one Spirit Gathering Pill. 134
• Sect disciples are warned to remain humble, avoid provoking stronger disciples, and respect elders. 126

Competition and Discipline

Cultivation within the Falan Sect is highly competitive. Disciples face threats from rivals, ferocious beasts, secret-realm expeditions, and external enemies; many are expected to die before becoming elites. 134

• Internal fighting is forbidden within the sect itself. 202
• During a sect-wide beast hunt, even disciples below Xiantian Sixth Level were temporarily permitted to leave the sect and hunt nearby beasts for resources. 160
• The Secret Realm Trial is deadly enough that sect disciples have been killed by fellow disciples for their Spatial Pouches and weapons. 176
• New disciples ordinarily cannot return from the Secret Realm Trial early unless they have a matter of monumental importance. 189

Cultivation Systems

Ascension Tower

The Ascension Tower is the sect's foremost benchmark for disciples, offering cultivation resources for each cleared floor. 134

Milestone	Significance
Floors 1–23	Provide increasingly valuable sect resource rewards. 134
Floor 24	A disciple may become a Steward Elder, receive the Han Hai Skiff, and gain access to Twofold Sea trials. 134
Floor 49	The tower's highest floor. Only three cultivators have cleared it in over five thousand years; all later became Falan Sect Masters and ascended through the Heavenly Gate. 134 167

Ye Tong caused a sect-wide sensation by reaching the third floor while only at Qi Refining Eighth Level, then later attracted further attention through his Ascension Tower achievements. 140 167

Sword Sea

The Sword Sea is considered the foundation of the Falan Sect's long-term strength. It preserves generations of Core Formation experts' sword Dao traces and is inaccessible to ordinary disciples. 167

• Mountain Lords may enter and leave freely. 167
• Peak Masters do not automatically possess unrestricted access. 167
• Even the most gifted disciples receive only limited opportunities to cultivate there. 167

Resources

The Falan Sect faced a serious resource shortage after its two Gold Crystal mines and one Spirit Crystal mine began declining. The Corpse Clan remnants further damaged the sect's position by destroying ten thousand mu of medicinal fields. 189

• Sect reserves were projected to last only about ten years if the crisis continued. 189
• Leadership feared that openly exchanging for external resources would reveal this weakness to rival sects and halls. 189
• The discovery of an underground palace in the Secret Realm later brought the sect substantial cultivation resources and wealth. 297
• This newfound wealth enabled the Falan Sect to spend twenty million Gold Crystals to acquire a demon at the Eastern Mu Auction. 297
