Dharma Sect

One of the Sage Orthodoxies of the Azure Dragon Domain.

The Dharma Sect was daring enough to pride itself on its possession of ten thousand techniques. Naturally, the cultivation techniques within that sect were countless and none of the other orthodoxies in the Azure Dragon Domain could ever hope to compete with that.

Some even compared that if all the cultivation techniques under the skies were to be written into a series of books with ten volumes, then the Dharma Sect alone would take up eight out of the ten volumes of books for its techniques. It was obvious that the Dharma Sect had vast amounts of techniques.

## Techniques

The Dharma Sect was known for its variety of techniques since they dabbled in many of them, but only a few were well known.

The 'Four Mystical Arts' was one of them.

* **Four Mystical Arts** - Four people would work together to channel the elements of earth, wind, water, and fire, creating a surge of power which was much greater than the four individually; it was very famous in the Firmament Star.

## Recruitment Test

There were a few stone pillars in the central square. Each of them was engraved with numerous mysterious runes and inlaid with nine pieces of gemstones.

While a long queue was formed in front of the stone pillars, dozens of disciples from the Dharma Sect could be seen managing the crowd and order there.

### Test of the Stone Pillar

"This is a type of treasure item which has been specifically developed by the Dharma Sect to test a cultivator's qualification."

"This item separates the qualifications of all the sky-prides in the world into nine categories. Only the top-tiered cultivators can light up seven or even eight gemstones upon that pillar."

"If that's the case, aren't four stars considered not bad then?"

Chu Kuangren said.

"You're right. People with four-star qualifications can be deemed a young genius within some Honorable Orthodoxies. But too bad that joining the Dharma Sect isn't so easy. The disciples who are recruited into the Dharma Sect must at least be able to light up five gemstones."

"Besides, qualifications are only the first trial in the recruitment process. The later trials focus on different aspects like Daoist understanding, Daoist core, and more. The requirements in this process are very strict."

### Test of the Stele Forest

Within a peculiar stele forest in the Dharma Sect.

Countless stone tablets stood firm atop the ground with a great number of runes carved onto them. Every piece of stone tablet represented a type of cultivation technique inside the stele forest.

Similar to the others, Chu Kuangren was baffled as well.

Using his spiritual thoughts to do a rough scan of the area around him, he found out that there were at least eight thousand stone tablets in the forest, which meant that there were at least eight thousand techniques around them!

Even the Black Heaven Sect could not hope to come up with so many techniques.

Although all the techniques here were below the level of a Supreme Technique, the fact that there were so many was shocking enough. The Dharma Sect truly deserved that name.

"The second trial requires you to gain insights on one of the techniques inscribed on any stone tablet of your choosing. You must complete this task within three days!"

"If you fail to do so, you shall be disqualified."

"The Dharma Sect has a hundred thousand disciples and every single one of them has managed to pass this trial."

"While the more outstanding among them even managed to gain insights on ten techniques within three days, so don't use your own weakness as an excuse. If you want to take the trial, just stay. If not, then leave. No one's forcing you to do this."

## Trivia

* 万法 in 万法宗— Dharma Sect — literally translates to ten thousand techniques.
