Lightning Sword Sect

The sect divided its disciples into outer and inner disciples, and only the inner disciples could join the Autumn Valley, which was part of the Four Valleys, to become a disciple of the Four Valleys.

The four valleys were as followed: Spring Valley, Summer Valley, Autumn Valley, and Winter Valley.

Generally speaking, there was only one way for an outer disciple to become an inner disciple is to enter the four valleys: that was to reach the Dharma stage and become a Dharma adept before turning 30.

The other way was to catch the eye of the four Valley leaders and have them accept you personally… And it was precisely because of this that there were a few young disciples in the four valleys that were not yet at the Dharma stage.

These young disciples who had joined the Four Valleys were still considered inner disciples of the Lightning Sword Sect even if they were not at the Dharma stage yet.

The inner disciples were all individuals who were naturally gifted, and even the worst of them could become an elder in the Lightning Sword Sect in the future when they were more experienced.

They were not like the outer disciples who could spend their whole lives training and still become nothing more than an in-charge for matters outside of the sect.

If an outer disciple cannot advance to the Dharma stage before reaching the age of thirty, it will have to leave the Lightning Sword Sect to join the five halls that are outside this sect.

The ‘five halls outside the Lightning Sword Sect’ referred to the Gold Hall, Wood Hall, Water Hall, Fire Hall, and Earth Hall.

Inner disciples who graduate to the Primordial Soul stage before turning 100 are eligible to become core disciples. Then, they can leave the Four Valleys and head to Lightning Peak to train.

### Elders

In the Lightning Sword Sect, if one wanted to become an inner elder, one had to be at the mid Primordial Soul stage at the very least. That was the threshold that the inner elders abided by.

As for those who wanted to enter the Lightning Peak and become an elder of the Lightning Sword Sect, the conditions were even stricter. One had to be at least a late Primordial Soul adept and above.

As for becoming an outer elder, one only had to be at the early Primordial Soul stage to qualify.

In other words, in the Lightning Sword Sect, even the most average and mediocre outer elder was also at the very least within one of the Primordial Soul stages.

### High Sect Rank

n the Lightning Sword Sect, the Chief, who’d reached the Divine Transformation stage, was the most powerful adept.

The guardians and elders were beneath the Chief. There were just three guardians in the Lightning Sword Sect, all Ultimate Primordial Soul adepts.

Although there were many elders, just four had attained the Ultimate Primordial Soul stage. These were the four chiefs of the valleys of the inner sect.

The four chiefs of the valleys of the inner sect were also the four chief elders of the Lightning Sword Sect. Their power was equivalent to the sect’s three guardians.
