Severin and Sofia began entering the forest as they chatted.

"His attainment must be very high then, and he could even give you so many valuable items. If he has set up a sect, then I'm pretty sure his sect is very strong too." After some thought, Sofia could not help her curiosity. "Do you know the name of the sect that your uncle set up?"

Severin shook his head. "I didn't ask in detail, but he told me to look for him on Mount Ermonie when the time comes. I'll just

have to tell them his name."

Sofia inhaled sharply when she heard that. She immediately exclaimed, "Mount Ermonie? Are you sure that was the mountain he mentioned?"

Severin frowned and asked, "Yes. It's called Mount Ermonie. Have you heard of it before?"

Sofia gulped. "Tsk, tsk, tsk. Are you aware that there are different rankings among sects?"

"I am not aware of that," Severin replied frankly. "This is the first time I've heard of it."

"Sects are divided into unestablished sects and established sects," Sofia began, "A sect that is unestablished would have no saints in it. They merely consist of a group of practitioners who have level seven or level eight warrior emperors. These people. set up their small sects with only a few hundred members. Some of the bigger unestablished sects can have thousands of members. A sect can only call themselves established i saints are in the ranks, and it is these sects that can call themselves" true sects'. Such sects are acknowledged as true sects by the other sects too

Severin nodded. "And are there any further rankings in this established sect?"

Sofia smiled and said, "Of course! Established sects are divided into third-tier, second-tier, and first-tier..."

Severin listened attentively, and he soon came to understand that sects with a saint are known as third-tier sects, while sects with a level eighth or level nine saint can be considered a second-tier sect. Meanwhile, first-tier sects must have a royal saint

-individuals who are more powerful than a normal saint. Sects with a royal saint can be taken to have fulfilled the requirements to becoming a first-tier sect.

There was yet another layer of subdivisions among the first-tier sects. They were ranked as lower-class first-tier sects, middle -class first-tier sects, and upper-class first-tier sects.

After digesting that information, Severin said, "There are subdivisions for first-tier sects too? How are they categorized then? Is it based on the number of disciples?"

"No," Sofia answered with a smile. "I'm sure you know that the number of people isn't always the most important factor. Aside from having a sizeable number of disciples, it mainly depends on the attainment of the higher-ups in the sect, such as their leader and some of the elders." After thinking briefly, Sofia continued, "At least that's what my father told me. He said that first-tier sects would be considered lower-class if they had only three or four level one and level two royal saints. Becoming a middle-class first-tier sect requires there be at least three or four level four royal saints. For upper-class first- tier sects, their leader must be at a level seven royal saint, and there needs to be at least three such level seven royal saints before it can be considered an upper-class first-tier sect."

"I see. It depends a lot on the number and attainment level of the strongest higher-ups," Severin remarked.
