## Description

It was a lush, green island. There a large group of buildings standing in the center of the island and distributed in the mountains, which was spectacular. The entire Sect covered several mountains with the strongest Spiritual Qi.

## History

As one of the four sects in Skymoon Country, Gale Island had a long history of 800 years.

## Buildings

There was the medicine palace, the martial arts palace, the contribution palace, the sect affair palace, the mission palace, and Purple Gold Hall in Gale Island. It was divided into different classes, and each performed its own duties, which was very detailed.

### Purple Gold Hall

Purple Gold Hall was a place that took charge of resources in Gale Island. Except for Martial Scrolls, all cultivating resources could be found in the Purple Gold Hall. The Purple Gold Pavilion of each city in Skymoon Country was operated by Purple Gold Hall, which earned resources and money for Gale Island.

### Martial Arts Palace

The martial arts palace was the place to deposit the Martial Scrolls of Gale Island. The martial arts palace was a huge palace with five floors, in which the number of cultivation methods and martial arts techniques were countless.

### Mission Palace

There were three huge palaces in the mission palace. It was divided into the Outer Mission Hall, the Inner Mission Hall, and the Core Mission Hall.

Mission hall was the most active place for the Outer Disciples. In the mission hall, there were over a dozen billboards placed inside. On each billboard, many Sect missions were attached. As for these Sect missions, some were published by the Sect, some were published privately, and some were published by people outside the island that were entrusted by the Sect. Anybody could publish a mission as long as they had a need.

### Decisive Struggle Hall

Decisive Struggle Hall was a place for disciples of Gale Island to solve their resentment. They could fight for life or death by their own free will. The Sect would not have a hand in it.

### Spiritual Pool

The Spiritual Pool is a treasured site. They say it connects the channels underneath Gale Island, so it brims with Spiritual Qi. The stone chamber was big; around 60 square meters. In the middle of the stone gate was a pool that was less than 17 square meters in diameter. The pool water was milky white. It was shrouded by mist and filled with Spiritual Qi. Cultivating in the Spiritual Pool for one day is equivalent to cultivating for a month

### Great Hall

This hall was extremely grand and was also where the board of Gale Island discussed matters of importance. The main seat was placed high above, overlooking the entire area. There were also tens of fine sandalwood chairs placed on each side below.

## Examinations

### Outer Examination

#### **Requirements**

The threshold test of Gale Island was divided into three parts.

* The first part was to test Martial Souls. The level of a Martial Soul was the most important benchmark to measure a martial artist’s talent. In Gale Island, a person with a Martial Soul of the Rank 8 Human Class would be considered a genius.

* The second part was to test comprehension, which was also significant for a martial artist to cultivate his talent. The higher comprehension that he had, the faster that he could practice martial arts.

* The last part was to test stamina. This part was to test a martial artist’s willpower, stamina, and temperament. If a martial artist was not good in other aspects, a strong temperament and tough willpower would complement them.

Overall, the tests of Gale Island were relatively comprehensive, covering the Martial Soul, comprehension, and temperament. Of course, the test of Martial Souls held the key, leaving the last two as a supplement.

However without recommendations or without being in the Spiritual Martial Realm, they could only be handyman disciples—even if they had passed the test. Handyman disciples were the lowest disciples in Gale Island. And what was worse, they had to do daily chores, which was really torture.

#### **Recommendations**

* Recommendations come from Purple Gold Pavilion and are a testament for cultivators with high talents. Thus, unlike the others, they can directly become our island’s outer disciples without being tested.

### Inner Examination

#### **Requirements**

To be promoted from outer to inner disciple, you need to pass the inner examination. Disciples need to attack a stele for ATK test who was specially made for the Inner Examination. No weapon and martial arts techniques should be used. They pass the examination and officially become an Inner Disciple as long as they can light up 10 crystals.

It was new way as previously, as long as the disciples’ cultivation had reached Lv 7 Spiritual Martial Realm, they would enter the inner gate and become Inner Disciples. However, many Outer Disciples, who were at the Peak Lv 6 Spiritual Martial Realm, had used special means or elixir to reach Lv 7 Spiritual Martial Realm in order to enter the inner gate. This was because their talent was mediocre, and they were unable to breakthrough over a long period of time. However, by doing so, they were putting themselves at risk. Although these people had reached Lv 7, their strength was much weaker than the martial artists who had advanced through the proper means.Their cultivation was unstable and could fall below the Realm. When this happened, it would pull down the standard of the Inner Disciples. Gale Island had then come up with this examination. If the disciples had not advanced through the proper means, it would be difficult for them to pass the examination.

### Core Examination

#### **Requirements**

Although there were many disciples on the Gale Island, there were only 48 core disciples. This was because there were age limits for core disciples, that is, only those that reached the True Spirit Realm cultivation and were under 30 could become the core disciples.

## Gates

### Outer Gate

The Outer Area is reserved for the outer disciples of Gale Island. Covering a vast region, she was located on the mountainside with thousands of courtyards situated there. It was very spectacular.

* All the courtyards had visible house numbers, and besides, they were arranged in good order. Each courtyard has three separate rooms, so each courtyard can accommodate three people.

* There were 10 lofts who were located on the top of the outer area, it belonged to the 10 strongest outer disciples. In Gale Island, the more powerful you are, the better treatment you get. If a disciple can defeat one of them, he’ll replace him and live in the loft. They do not only live in better places but also obtain much better resources than the regular outer disciples.

### Inner Gate

The Inner gate of Gale Island was far away from the Outer Gate. It stood on the main peak, which was the core of Gale Island. Unlike the crowded Outer Gate, the Inner Gate was sparsely populated. It was said that there were more than 1,200 Inner Disciples in Gale Island. Compared with the Outer Gate, that number was quite small indeed.

### Core Gate

The core disciples lived in palaces. They enjoyed extraordinary treatment equalled to that of an Elder.

## Contribution Points

* Disciples of the sect could earn sect contribution points by giving the sect Spiritual Herbs, cultivation methods, martial arts techniques, and demonic beast materials, or by completing tasks for the sect.

* They could also simply contribute money to the sect.After all, monetary wealth led to more resources. One contribution point cost 2,000 taels of gold.

## Rules

* Gale Island forbids its disciples from fighting each other in private. If someone breaks the rule, he’ll be confined for one month or expelled from the sect.
* The four sects in Skymoon Country almost had the same rule that if the new disciple could not reach the Spiritual Martial Realm within two years, he would be expelled.

## Trivia

* Among the four big Sects, the relationship between the Scorching Sun Sect and Gale Island was the worst. Not only were the seniors of both sects hostile to one another, but even their disciples were frequently in conflict.
