Xuantian Dao Sect/East Branch/36th Supermonastery

Xuantian Dao Sect 36th Xuantian Supermonastery (玄天分院), contains Long Chen's Xuantian monastery. It is one of the 36 supermonasteries of the Xuantian Dao Sect East Branch, located in Eastern Wastelands.
There are 108 monastery under its juridisction. Each year they host a monastery competition which determines the rankings  and the allocation of resources towards the monastery under its jurisdiction.
In truth, the 36th Supermonastery is the weakest among all the supermonastery branch.
==Admission==
To become a disciple of the Supermonastery you have to be an existing disciple of one of its monastery and have reached the Bone Forging realm within 3 years of entering that monastery.
Unlike other sects, entering the Supermonastery is not a life long affair. All disciples have to leave the sect after 30 years or become an elder. Disciples that reached the Xiantian realm within 30 years has the qualification to enter the Xuantian Dao Sect.
== Details ==
There were 108 monasteries below the Xuantian Supermonastery. The competition between individual monasteries was extremely intense. Each year, they would have a Monastery Competition, and resources would be divvied up according to rank.
The monastery's Faction Competition was completely based on it. This was a kind of survival of the fittest method.
In truth, the Xuantian Monasteries were all given their name according to ranking. The first monastery, the second monastery, the third monastery... all the way to Long Chen's Xuantian Monastery (玄天别院).
Because they were last, they decided that telling their disciples would be too awkward, and they just called themselves the Xuantian Monastery.
Otherwise, if they called themselves the 108th monastery, their disciples might wonder what that meant which would be extremely awkward. Absolute last place... that was something they couldn't tell their disciples.Chapter 231
== Jiuli Secret Realm ==
Originally, the monastery had only had four core disciples who had awakened their ancestral marks. But after that huge battle, they had all awakened their ancestral marks.
According to the rules, any core disciples who had awakened their ancestral marks would automatically get a spot to enter the Jiuli secret realm.
In total, the monastery had had seventeen core disciples. Qi Xin had essentially been killed by Long Chen, and Lei Qianshang had died in the battle. That left them with fifteen core disciples.
In addition, there was one ‘free' spot given to the last place monastery as a gift from the supermonastery. The monastery could decide who to give that position to.
Even the supermonastery had been emotionally moved by the 108th monastery. It had to be known that the 108th monastery was always extremely pitiful. They only managed to pass their days with only the ‘free' resources given to them by the monastery, never accomplishing anything big.
In all of history, the 108th monastery had only ever had one or two core disciples who had managed to enter the Jiuli secret realm. There had never been a third.Chapter 286
Now that so many powerful experts had come from the 108th monastery, the supermonastery would naturally send down their support. However, there were limited spots to enter the Jiuli secret realm. That was because each entrance to the Jiuli secret realm could only support so many people. After a certain number of people had entered, it would automatically close.
Having so many experts suddenly appear, the supermonastery had considered it and felt that this was too rare for the 108th monastery, and they hadn't cut down on even one of their spots.
Instead, they had decided to pick a few monasteries who ranked near the top middle who would all just lose out slightly. Those monasteries had had to hand over one of their spots to the 108th monastery.
In theory, it sounded good. But where there were people, there would be conflicts.
Several monasteries had ended up losing out, each one of them having to give one of their spots for the 108th monastery.
Of course, this range was limited. The top ten monasteries couldn't be chosen because of how many people they possessed and their powerful background supporters. They naturally couldn't choose those top ten monasteries.
As for those ranked below fiftieth, there was no need to even think about them. Those people already possessed pitifully few spots to enter. If they deducted their last few spots, that would really be excessive.
And so they had only chosen the monasteries ranking from eleventh to fiftieth. They had chosen the relatively more suitable monasteries to pay the price for the 108th monastery.
The loss of one spot meant that one of their core disciples who had also awakened their ancestral mark would not be able to enter the Jiuli secret realm.
And the 36th monastery had really been unlucky, because the person in charge of this matter was someone who had been sneered at by Luo Bing multiple times before. Now that person finally got their revenge on her. 
The other unlucky monasteries had only lost a single spot, but the thirty-sixth monastery had lost five spots.
When he had heard this news, the thirty-sixth monastery's sect leader almost died from anger. He had immediately gone to find that person in charge of this.
But as soon as he had seen the person in charge, he had realized everything.
That person had righteously told him that his thirty-sixth monastery had been enjoying slightly too many spots for the Jiuli secret realm for over two thousand years, and so these five spots were to balance out all of those years.
No matter how the thirty-sixth monastery's sect leader complained, that person had just replied with that righteous and fair argument, refusing all counter-arguments and bribes. In the end, that manager had left him with a single line: even if you have to squeeze yourself to death, you still have to hand over five spots.
The thirty-sixth monastery's sect leader had immediately flown into a rage the minute he returned to his monastery. He furiously cursed Luo Bing over and over, and Luo Bing didn't dare retort.
This matter was because of someone intentionally making their life hard, so they naturally couldn't let this go just like that. The sect leader had immediately gone to the first monastery to beg for a favor, seeing if they could help them haggle.
The thirty-sixth monastery had a slight relationship with the first monastery, but that relationship wasn't very close. After all, the first monastery was miles ahead of the thirty-sixth monastery.
If a monastery didn't even rank in the top ten, then the first monastery didn't even deign to look at them. But the thirty-sixth monastery's sect leader had still hoped to use their slight relationship to fight against this.
The first monastery's sect leader was disinclined to even meet him once he arrived. He had instead sent a random Elder to deal with him.
Luo Bing's brother had immediately felt let down. And as he had expected, that Elder had merely listened to him for a moment before leaving, saying he would ask around for him.
Just as the thirty-sixth monastery's sect leader had been about to leave dejectedly, that Elder had suddenly called out to him, saying the sect leader cared deeply about this matter and would help him handle it.
And as it turned out, the first monastery really lived up to its name. With its power, even that manager had to give them face.
Two days later, the thirty-sixth monastery received the news that they only had to hand over three spots.
Two more spots for them was a huge favor. The thirty-sixth monastery's sect leader had been completely delighted, praising himself for having made the right decision and going to beg the first monastery.
But just three days after that, an Elder from the first monastery had paid them a visit. During that visit, he had ‘coincidentally' brought up the 108th monastery.
According to what he said, the 108th monastery had recently acted in a manner that extremely displeased his sect leader.
Now Luo Bing and her brother understood why the first monastery would help them. Their real target had been the 108th monastery.
Luo Bing had immediately said that she would go embarrass the 108th monastery, and that Elder had simply smiled, not saying any more.
Although acting in this manner wasn't too appropriate, they definitely had to repay the first monastery.
Furthermore, if they managed to handle this matter properly, that would strengthen their relationship with the first monastery. It was definitely extremely worth it for them.
And the thirty-sixth monastery's sect leader had immediately agreed to Luo Bing's movements. But he secretly told her not to let the matter blow out of proportion.
Luo Bing's specialty was finding trouble for others. And as expected of her, she had barged into the 108th monastery with her disciples.
"You're clearly just causing trouble for nothing. This is just you bullying us." Tu Fang was completely infuriated. He had seen bullies, but he had never seen such an overbearing bully.
"Hmph, the cultivation world is survival of the fittest. There's no need to waste resources on the weak. Are we supposed to rely on you trash to fight against the Corrupt path? How laughable. After just one battle, you don't even have a thousand disciples left. As I thought, you really are just pigs waiting to be slaughtered," sneered Luo Bing.
In comparison to the 108th monastery, the thirty-sixth monastery would always get over thirty thousand new disciples for each of their disciple selections. That was because they covered a larger area and also possessed the resources to raise them.
However, Ling Yunzi was unable to do the same. This monastery had been ranked last for thousands of years now. The lower ranking they were, the fewer resources they got. Under that vicious cycle, they were never able to stand out.
Back then, Ling Yunzi had been filled with a drive to reverse the situation. But a person's ability was limited. He had been unable to change this reality.
It was said that the first monastery was even more terrifying and that they always selected over a million new disciples each time. Furthermore, those million disciples were the best of the best.
The first monastery and the 108th monastery were worlds apart. And so Luo Bing had immediately known to take the first monastery's side, barging into the 108th monastery and disdainfully looking down on them all.
It was like she was an empress looking down on a group of beggars. She naturally gave off a kind of high and aloof feeling.
As for those disciples behind her, they were also looking down on them; their eyes filled with contempt.
