“It’s fine; we have a lot of free time, so you don’t need to think about it.” The woman then introduced herself and her husband. “My name is Fei Hong, and my husband is Bu Tianbeng.”

“Kid, you are an anomaly, so you should be very careful every time you break through to the next stage, and it’s better if you do it in a secluded place.” Bu Tianbeng said as he patted Ling Yun’s shoulder. “Otherwise, your breakthrough will attract the jealousy of those strong cultivators, and they will consider you a threat and kill you before you become strong.”

Fei Hong nodded in agreement. “My husband is right, Mo Chen. Previously, you were lucky that Tang Chen was by your side, or else Huang Xiaoxian and Fu Bai would have killed you straight away, especially since they were members of the Valley of Doom, and the cultivators belonging to that organization are truly abominable.”

“Thank you for your advice, seniors.” Ling Yun sincerely said as he cupped his hands towards them.

Fei Hong pulled her husband to sit beside her, as she said to Ling Yun. “Sit down first.”

“Yes.” Ling Yun and Zhou Yun immediately sat in front of them.

Bu Tianbeng immediately took out a black token and gave it to Ling Yun. “Liangxin already told us that you only arrived in the upper realms a few days ago, and you still don’t know much about these realms, so you can use it to access all the information in this tower.”

“Thank you, Senior.” Ling Yun happily kept the token, and he then asked them. “Seniors, can you explain to me the sects?”

“Do you really want to join one of the sects?” Fei Hong asked him.

“Yes.” Ling Yun nodded to her. “I have a serious matter waiting for me, so I need to improve my cultivation quickly, and I think it would be better if I joined a sect.”

“I don’t think that’s a bad idea.” Bu Tianbeng then glanced at Zhou Yu. “Even though you have many spirit women beside you, and Yanyan’s little sister is also your wife, I think it would be better if you joined a sect. As long as you can show them your unlimited potential, I’m sure that the people in the sect will be willing to protect you.”

“But you must choose the right sect.” Fei Hong added to her husband’s words. “Some sects will be happy to protect you, but some of them want to exploit your potential for their benefit, and many others will probably kill you out of jealousy and envy.”

Even though he had never joined a sect before, Ling Yun could understand their advice clearly. “For now, I only know about the Eternal Spring Palace, so I want to know more details about the others before I make a decision.”

They nodded in understanding, and Fei Hong said. “Since you are a dual cultivator, the Eternal Spring Palace is the most suitable sect for you, but you might want to consider other sects first.”

“Yes.”

“All clans and sects in the upper realms are divided into several grades.” Ling Yun was not too surprised to hear that, and Bu Tianbeng continued. “They are divided into first grade, second grade, and third grade. Although my Bu Clan owns this tower, and we also have a lot of information about upper realms, my clan is in second grade.”

“My Fei Clan is also a second grade clan.” Fei Hong added. “All the clans that Tang Chen told you about before are all first grade, and they have many privileges in their respective realms.”

Ling Yun nodded in understanding. “In fact, it’s not that different from the lower realms, and all the clans on my planet are also divided into four categories. However, there are only a few clans and sects there, especially since that place isn’t as large as the upper realms.”

“Yes.” Bu Tianbeng spoke to Ling Yun again. “Tang Chen once told us about your planet, and his Tang Clan is one of the ancient clans there.”

“That’s true.” Ling Yun replied with a nod. “According to history, they are indeed one of the ancient clans, but the current Tang Clan is no different from a lower clan, especially after senior Tang Chen brought most of his clan members to the Star Cloud Realm.”

After that, Bu Tianbeng told Ling Yun about the sects. “Anyway, there are seven first-grade sects in these three realms: three in the Sky Cloud Realm, three in the Sky Cloud Realm, and one in the Earth Cloud Realm.”

“Hmm?” Ling Yun looked at him in surprise, especially since there weren’t that many.

“The three first-grade sects in this realm are Tianyi Immortal Sect, which is located in the Central Region. Heaven Secrets Sect is located in the Western Region, and Buddha Sect is located in the Eastern Region.”

Ling Yun raised his eyebrows after he heard that. “Are there no First Grade Sects in the Southern Region?”

“No.” They answered by shaking their heads, and Fei Hong told him. “Actually, there is a sect that is equivalent to a first-grade sect in the Southwest Region, but they are closed to the public, especially since the people of that sect come from different races.”

“Oh?” Ling Yun then curiously asked her. “What kind of race are they? Why do they close themselves off from the public?”

“Haha.” Fei Hong giggled before telling him. “They are a race of demi-humans, so-”

“What?” Ling Yun exclaimed in surprise, but the excitement in his expression could not be hidden from them, for he had long been looking forward to meeting the demi-human race, and the opportunity was now in front of him.

“Pft!” Zhou Yu laughed out loud at Ling Yun’s expression, and she immediately teased him. “Are you that impatient to meet the women from the demi-human race? There are some of your women who are no different from them, remember? Yu’er and Mingyue can turn into half-foxes, Yao can turn into a half-cat, and Zoe can turn into a half-snake. Moreover, there are still Philia the gryphon and Fay the golden bear.”

“Hahaha.” Ling Yun laughed and shamelessly answered Zhao Yu. “Demi-human women are really interesting, you know? So it’s natural if I want to meet them, right?”

“Tch!” Zhou Yu gritted her teeth and cursed at him. “You are truly a lascivious creature!”

Fei Hong laughed in amusement at seeing them. “You’re right, demi-human women are interesting, and they can’t be compared to human women, especially with their special traits. However, they’re not friendly with us, so you’ll definitely find it difficult to meet them.”

Ling Yun only smiled after hearing that, and he was sure that it wouldn’t be difficult for him to establish a relationship with them, especially with his Primordial Chaos Dragon Bloodline, but he also didn’t want to rush to meet them because his cultivation was still too weak.

“Anyway, their sect is the Hidden Valley Sect, which is located on the border of the Southern and Western Regions.” Fei Hong told him.

However, Ling Yun realized something. “Doesn’t that mean the Eternal Spring Palace is second or third grade, right?” ．𝒄𝙤𝙢

“You’re right.” Bu Tianbeng nodded to him. “The Eternal Spring Palace is a second-grade sect, but their overall strength is almost on par with that of a first-grade sect. Beside them, there are three other second-grade sects in this realm: Sky Sect, Mountain Sect, and Firecloud Manor.”

“Sky Sect, Mountain Sect, and Firecloud Manor?” Ling Yun muttered to himself before asking them. “What are the specialties of all those sects?”

Bu Tianheng sighed softly before explaining it to him. “Tianyi Immortal Sect is completely focused on pursuing higher cultivation, and people from the sect rarely leave their sect, except on certain occasions.”

“Isn’t that kind of life too boring? What’s the point of having high cultivation if they can’t enjoy their lives?” Even though Ling Yun also wanted to become strong, he certainly didn’t want to spend his life just focusing on achieving higher cultivation, especially since he had so many women by his side.

“You’re right about that, but everyone has their own choices, so we can’t judge them from our perspective.” Bu Tianbeng then continued. “The Buddha Sect is more focused on reaching the highest levels in the cultivation of mind and soul, but they are also skilled fighters. As for the Heaven Secret Sect, they are more similar to a cultivator academy, and they focus more on shaping the character and attitude of the younger generation. Usually, all clans in this realm and the Star Cloud Realm will send their youngest generation to the sect, but they will not accept disciples from clans in the Earth Cloud Realm.”

Ling Yun wasn’t too surprised to hear Bu Tianbeng’s last sentence, especially since he had heard from Tang Chen that cultivators in the Earth Cloud Realm tended to have evil natures, so he was unsurprised if the Heaven Secrets Sect were not willing to accept them.

Fei Hong then spoke to him again. “Since you already know about the Eternal Spring Palace, I won’t talk about that sect. However, the Sky Sect is more focused on the sword path, and they have produced many great swordsmen. The Mountain Sect is more focused on their physical strength, and they are the most skilled hunters in the three realms. As for the Firecloud Manor, they focus on alchemy and blacksmithing, but their abilities are far below those of the Tian Clan.”
