The secret hall is the most mysterious and feared entrance of Xiyue Sect.

In the Xiyue Sect, the secret hall is mainly responsible for Wenxin's domestic security supervision, including finding spies, guarding against foreign enemies, and even collecting intelligence. They are also responsible for inserting their own people outside. To a certain extent, this is the modern secret service, but with greater powers and responsibilities and a wider scope of jurisdiction.

The secret hall and the Tantang together constitute Wenxin's security in the era of great rule. It's just that the visiting hall is mostly external, focusing on spying on news, while the secret hall is mostly internal, and there are more actions besides news. Since the two churches are similar in nature, they often cooperate with each other.

This is a church that accepts both inside and outside, and it is also a church that everyone fears. It is also the least popular church in the Xiyue Sect, because although it has great authority, it has little oil and water.

Except for visiting the hall, no one likes to be visited by someone from the secret hall.

No one expected that Tang Jie would choose the secret hall. Even the governor of the secret hall who had not spoken much was stunned.

This man's name is Zhao Zheng, and he looks like an honest farmer. At this moment, when he heard Tang Jie's choice, his eyes flashed a little.

He took a few steps forward and said: "Tang Jie is willing to enter the secret hall. It is really a blessing for our secret hall. Zhao Zheng welcomes you on behalf of the whole secret hall!"

As soon as these words came out, the selection matter was settled.

The old man from the medicine hall stamped his feet and sighed: "But Xu Baibing took advantage of this."

Xu Baibing is the leader of the secret hall, and among so many people, he is the only one who dares to call him by his first name.

Seeing that what had happened, the rest stepped forward to congratulate Zhao Zheng.

After choosing the entrance of the hall, it is time to choose the cave.

There are more than 300 peaks in the main peak group of Izumo Mountain, among which 18 are the hall peaks, where the 18 branch halls are located, and no mansions are allowed to be built; there are 64 true peaks, which are the main peaks of the Xiyue Sect except for the 19th Tiankui. More than 400 Tianxin masters live there, and the rest are not allowed to build mansions; there are six special duty peaks, and they are not allowed to build mansions.

Therefore, Xiyue disciple caves are mainly concentrated on the tops of more than 200 other peaks.

A disciple of the Ministry of Rites took out a six-sided crystal, and when it was projected onto the tops of more than 200 mountains, there were irregular spots of red and white light on it. Red dots are occupied, white dots represent vacant.

Each cave entrance is marked with numbers, indicating the level of the cave and the price payable.

In addition to the intensity of spiritual energy, the grade of a cave is determined by many factors such as geographical environment and area size. Tang Jie saw a cave, located at the highest point of the mountain, where he was returning to his homeland. It was at a high point and could see far away. It was in an important position to protect the palace, and it was at the point where spiritual energy gathered to facilitate cultivation. The courtyard was deep and the area was large. It is ten times bigger than Tao Ranju, and it can really be called a good place for cultivation.

Unfortunately, everyone knows this place well, so it is marked as Level 1, and 500 contribution points will be deducted every month. As a result, it remains vacant and unoccupied.

The students of Xiyue are new here. After joining the sect, each one will be given ten points of contribution, and the elite disciples will receive twenty points, which is enough to rent a low-level cave.

However, this batch of students is different. Wei Tianchong, Qi Shaoming and several others did not have as much contribution as Tang Jie because of their participation in the Shimen Sect operation, but they still received a hundred points each, so they can choose from them. The better caves made Li Yunfan, Yu Hengwei and others envious.

While watching at this moment, Zhao Zheng suddenly came over and said to Tang Jie: "Lotus Peak, Xiuping Peak, Qianqiu Peak, Fairy Spring Peak...the nine peaks here belong to the secret hall."

Tang Jie was a little curious: "Didn't you say that you chose randomly? Why is there another territorial division?"

Zhao Zheng smiled: "There are indeed no explicit rules regarding the cave, but there are no explicit rules, but there are hidden rules."

Tang Jie understood.

It is almost human nature to exclude dissidents. From the moment the disciples choose the entrance to the church, they undoubtedly choose power. Even if the top does not care, the people below will not accept that you are among me, and you are among me. Instead of your chaotic situation, you spontaneously form an organization and divide the territory so that your own people can stick together.

Sure enough, looking back at this moment, the governors of each hall were reminding their disciples to choose carefully, and don’t really think that there are more than 200 peaks at their disposal. People from Rulutang and Diantang have always been difficult to deal with. If a disciple from Lutang chose the top of Diantang, he would be very happy.

Not only that, there are also differences between disciples and disciples. Above the halfway point, you are not an option, even if you can make enough contributions. Of course, if your strength has reached enlightenment, or if you have accumulated great achievements, you can open up the door and be promoted from a disciple to a disciple, that is also possible.

A dynamic sect will not stop its bottom-up approach. Therefore, in addition to Xiyue Academy, Xiyue Sect also retains some channels for entry and advancement. However, if you want to ascend through these channels, you are destined to pay a much higher price than taking the academy route, and it is difficult to ascend.

At this moment, the elders reminded everyone that no one had made any mistakes. Tang Jie chose for a while and finally settled on a cave in Xianquan Peak. This place is located at the top of Immortal Spring Peak. It has quiet springs, lush trees, beautiful scenery, and abundant spiritual energy. It is a third-level cave mansion that requires a monthly contribution of 100 points.

Zhao Zheng came over and saw him choosing this place, and praised: "A good place."

Tang Jie felt a little embarrassed: "I didn't want to choose such a good choice, but seeing the wide view here, I couldn't hold it back for a while."

The cave he chose has a good angle and can basically cover most of the surrounding areas. It is suitable for his observation with the eyes of the sky. Therefore, even if Tang Jie wanted to keep a low profile, he would not want to miss such a good observation point.

At this time, the other disciples had almost made their selections. After everyone exchanged the locations of the caves, they followed the governors of each hall to various places. The disciples said goodbye to each other.

Tang Jie patted Wei Tianchong on the shoulder: "Take care of yourself."

Wei Tianchong grinned and said: "Don't worry, I'm more familiar with you here. If you need anything, come to me at Guanri Peak. Alas, the master won't let me enter the memorial hall, but he insists on living in Guanri Peak." Feng, what a bad luck."

Tang Jie also smiled: "I will."

After saying goodbye to Wei Tianchong and the others, Tang Jie followed Zhao Zheng and left Zhike Peak towards Tianji Peak.

Tianji Peak is the headquarters of the Secret Hall, and it is also where the disciples under the Secret Hall handle official business.

While flying, Zhao Zheng explained the internal structure of the secret hall to Tang Jie.

First of all, Xu Baibing, the master of the main hall, is at the peak of Tianxin and has lived in the Nineteen Stars Peak. Like Feng Hongluan, he also has very few directors. In fact, most of the heads of various halls are just airs and rarely care about practical matters. The meaning of their existence is the Dinghai Shenzhen, as long as long-term practice can shock all directions.

Then came the two deputy hall masters.

The first deputy hall master Chang Tianshui, the second deputy hall master Zhu Rongcheng.

Both of these two people are also at the peak of Tianxin, but their strength is somewhat inferior to that of Nineteen Tiankui. Even so, everyone who goes out is a figure who can pacify a small sect with one person's power.

Except for the chief and deputy hall masters, the person with the highest status is the chief minister of each hall.

All the Changqings are Tianxin Zhenren, and they have all passed the inner demon stage, that is, they have passed the Tianxin level before they are qualified to serve.

Below the Changqing is the governor, who serves as a real person below the inner demon stage. Some older people who are at the peak of transcendence can also serve as governors.

Zhao Zheng is in the early stage of Tianxin, and Yao Lao'er is at the peak of transcendence, but they are old enough and are the kind of guys who have no hope of entering Tianxin in this life and can only wait for death and return to heaven.

Below the governor are the executive officers and Cong chiefs.

The executive is the most basic executive disciple, and the Cong leader is equivalent to the captain, and is usually held by the top of the world.

In fact, the structures of each hall are similar. The most different one is probably the Third Hall of the War Department. They have the most people and have more levels than each hall.

Tang Jie is here now because he wants to start with the lowest serving disciple.

Fortunately, the main focus of cultivators is on cultivation, and status does not actually mean much. At most, it is related to the amount of monthly salary and the determination of leadership during collective actions. If it's a one-man operation, then identity doesn't matter at all.

At this moment, Zhao Zheng led Tang Jie to Tianji Peak and first got him a jade identity card. This ID badge is just like the original student badge. It is their proof of identity, their entry and exit voucher, and it also records their contribution points. Tang Jie has now made a thousand contributions. Unlike other disciples, he has to find tasks to complete in the first month of joining the sect to ensure his future life.

"From now on, you are a serving disciple of my secret hall, and you can withdraw three thousand spiritual coins every month." Looking at Tang Jie, Zhao Zheng smiled and said: "Originally, it should be I will take you to see some hall masters, sir. But we cultivators are all accustomed to being undisciplined. We all practice every day. We are afraid that others will disturb us and make mistakes in our cultivation, so we don’t want to see them easily. People. So it is common for us to live in the same hall and not see our hall master for many years. If there is no organization and no discipline, you don’t have to be surprised."

Tang Jie was so frightened by his words about being organized and undisciplined that he almost thought that he had also traveled through time. However, thinking that although these words were novel, they were also in line with the current situation. Is the same true for Tang?"

Zhao Zheng touched his chin: "Oh, with the exception of the three halls of the war department, the people there are more demanding. They have battle formations that need training, and they have to act together frequently. In addition, the people in the inner hall are on fixed rotation. If there are more, we can get to know each other better. Unlike us, there are only a few people with fixed duties. There are only a few people in the secret hall, and there are more than 3,000 disciples. No matter how much we take turns, we can’t get through, so we just put them on tasks. Who loves it? Whoever does it will do it."

Tang Jie also smiled: "So that's how it is, then I'm so happy."

Zhao Zheng laughed: "Of course there are times when there is trouble. If there is a shortage of manpower, there will be forced arrangements. At that time, you are not allowed to recommend people in the name of cultivation."

Tang Jie replied seriously: "Disciple understands!"

"Then just take a look around here. If you have any questions, you can ask me." Zhao Zheng said.

Tang Jie took the order and wandered around Tianji Peak.

The core of Tianji Peak is the central hall, which is mainly used for assigning tasks. There is a small hall at the back of the hall, called Xuanji Hall, which is where news is processed and where tasks are released. All tasks come out from here.

There are halls on both sides, namely the Alchemy Room, the Weapon Refining Room, the Formation Room, and the Talisman Making Hall. These places have nothing to do with the Xiyue Sect’s Medicine Hall and Formation Hall. They are all set up separately by each hall. On the one hand, it can give some disciples with talents in this area the opportunity to practice. On the other hand, some basic medicines can also be produced by oneself, which also saves the need to ask the people of the Fourth Inner Hall for everything.

There is also a small attic behind the Xuanji Hall, which is where the practice books are stored and where the secret hall is set up.

In short, this secret hall is like a small sect. Everything that other sects can have is actually available here, and even its own blessed land - there is a four-hundred-year-old small blessed land under Tianji Peak. It is said that two A deputy hall master lives there.

Tang Jie turned around and roughly understood the situation in the secret hall, then returned to Zhao Zheng. Zhao Zheng said some words to him again, made some explanations, and then told him that he could go back now. He finished leading the disciples here, handed in tasks and received contributions, and went directly back to the cave to practice. He didn't know when he would come out next.

This is how the communication between practitioners is. Most of the time, everyone practices silently and performs tasks silently. Because of this, you never know when someone will suddenly leave. Maybe a long time later, you will find out that the other person has been dead for hundreds of years when you ask about him or her in casual chat.

This is the life of a cultivator.

When he thought of this, Tang Jie also felt inexplicably emotional.

Farewell to Zhao Zheng, Tang Jie flew towards Xianquan Peak.

Arrived in front of the selected cave, Tang Jie saw three big words in the letter:

"Spiritual Cave."

"Spiritual Realm Cave... I have no doubt that the spiritual realm is hard to smell and see, and I miss my hometown before the earthly world is over... When spring comes, there are peach blossoms everywhere, and I don't know where to find the source of immortality." Tang Jie couldn't help but murmured a piece of Wang Wei's poem Taoyuanxing, nodded and said: "Not bad!"

The front of the Spirit Realm Cave is protected by a white light shield, which is blocked by the formation.

Tang Jie handed the identity jade token to the light mask. The light mask disappeared after sweeping the jade token. At the same time, the contribution on the jade token was also reduced by a hundred points.

Entering the cave, Tang Jie found that the environment here was really good. The entire cave was spotless because of the dust-cleansing array. The place is also spacious and filled with aura, much better than Xiyue Academy.

The most rare thing is that there is a cave inside, and there is a small spiritual field. The sun shines from above, and there is gurgling water in the distance, passing along the spiritual field. This spiritual field comes with the cave, so there is no need to pay any fees. However, if you want more spiritual fields, you need to buy them from the farm and ask someone to cultivate them.

But for Tang Jie, this small piece of spiritual land was enough.

Then he took out something, but it was the blade-like plant.

The plant, which grew from beans, has now grown to half a meter tall. It is shaped like a saw and is full of sharp teeth. It took Tang Jie a lot of effort to dig it out of the ground. This thing actually had a strong sense of self-preservation. It kept extending thorn-like sharp teeth from its roots to prevent Tang Jie from digging it out. Of course, it eventually Still couldn't escape Tang Jie's clutches.

Planting this plant at this moment, Tang Jie said: "We have arrived at a new home. If I plant it for you, I won't lose my temper anymore."

As expected, the plant obediently let Tang Jie plant it.

After planting other spiritual plants, Tang Jie took out the things he brought one by one and arranged them. The cave was quickly decorated.

There is a magic circle guarding the outside of this spiritual realm cave. Inside, there is a deep courtyard with a cave sky. There is a large stone in the deepest part. It is as warm as jade, but it is a rare magic stone. It is suitable for cultivation, and it is indeed a good place.

After doing this, Tang Jie went to the outside of the mountain and brought Yiyi and Shi Jingzhai who were waiting outside the mountain into the cave. With this identity jade token, he could lead people freely.

From this day on, Tang Jie returned to his old life. Since he had contributed when he started, he was not as eager to earn contribution points as others. He practiced in the mountains every day.

During this period, Wei Tianchong and Shi Meng and others visited several times. Shi Meng entered the treasury hall and took charge of the treasury. This was a good thing for him. He was not good at fighting, so it was safe and worry-free to go into the inner hall and do some rotating duties. Although I lack some ambition, it is difficult to have opportunities and have a great future, but I can get stability. In fact, many people in the Xiyue Sect, after reaching this point, feel that their future is hopeless, so they will choose such a path to ensure their health for the rest of their lives. On the contrary, those promising disciples who worked hard and vigorously often died on the way.

Peng Yaolong and Bei Canghan also came here. On the one hand, they congratulated Tang Jie and others on graduating and joining the sect, and on the other hand, they also left their addresses for easy contact. Although there are conflicts in the court, they can't compete with each other in personal friendship.

Life suddenly became comfortable and simple.

However, within the Nine Jue Immortal Killing Formation, things are exactly the opposite.

————————————

"Roar!!!"

Tang Jie let out an earth-shattering roar and punched the sky.

The fist wind surges, and the fierceness creates majesty in the world.

A majestic giant hand shot down the Iron Fist from the air.

In the sudden impact, Tang Jie's nearly ten-meter-tall body was shot up like a doll, rolled in the air and fell, creating a huge crater.

"Tang Jie, it's useless, you are no match for me!"

In the sky, He Chong shouted loudly.

His whole body was shining with golden light, like the reincarnation of the golden armored god. His right hand slowly retracted, and the giant palm that existed because of it gradually disappeared.

Tang Jie turned over and stood up, wiped the blood on the corner of his mouth and said with a smile, "Really? Then why do I look like you are scared?"

He Chong hesitated, but his body couldn't help but tremble.

Tang Jie was right, he was indeed afraid.

I have been trapped in the Nine Ultimate Immortal Killing Formation with Tang Jie for six years.

In the past six years, he has watched Tang Jie's strength grow rapidly. From the beginning, he was not qualified to fight with him, then he fled in a hurry when he was chasing him, and later he continued to provoke him with his copying skills. , until now he dares to confront himself head-on!

Although he was still no match for him, it was no longer easy for He Chong to kill him. The giant palm attack just now had used all his strength, but it only severely damaged Tang Jie, but he could not even hope to kill him.

All these changes have only taken six years!

In six years, although Tang Jie was still no match for him, the gap between him and himself was shortening rapidly, and the speed was terrifying!

No one has ever improved so quickly in such a short period of time.

If this continues, maybe in ten years at most, I will no longer be Tang Jie’s opponent!

How could He Chong not be afraid when he thought of this?

Tang Jie looked at his increasingly ugly expression, but burst out laughing: "Wait, He Chong, every time I fight with you, I make progress. You can't kill me, so you can only watch. Let me grow! Now that I'm leaving, I said, can you save some energy? Save me from having to use the copying technique again?"

As he spoke, he pushed out with both hands: "Get out of my way!"

With two bangs and bangs, Deng Yuqing and Duan Laosi flew out at the same time. These two people wanted to make a sneak attack in the dark, but they were discovered by Tang Jie long ago.

Looking at He Chong for the last time, Tang Jie sneered and turned away.

He Chong really didn't chase him again.

When he was far away, Tang Jie looked back at the deserted place, his expression suddenly changed, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Damn, the old guy is really cruel, I almost got slapped flat by him." Tang Jie cursed in a low voice.

With his current body, he is still far from being able to compete with a real person like He Chong. Even if he wants to have a formal fight, there is still a gap.

Improve yourself further!

To do this, you must obtain another Giant God Blood Fruit.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at the magma lake in the distance.

"Maybe it's time to challenge again." Tang Jie murmured.

While thinking, Tang Jie had returned to his secret residence.

This is a secret cave, hidden by the formation.

Stepping into the cave, a wailing sound could be heard.

"Let me go!!!"

Looking around, deep inside the cave wall, a man was being nailed to the mountain wall by seven jade animal-head nails.

Seven Evil Soul-Calming Nails!

Plum painted screen!
