War of the Beast Valley with the Bloodlight Sect

"I have been observing You with the help of formation. I have to admit that i didnt expect much from a lowly kid but in the end You managed to suprise me. Even after intial 5 years passed You still completed Your daily schedule while not failing Your old man once, not bad" While flying on the cloud many by Sima Long, Ren Li was sweating a lot. He thought many times about breaking the rules, pulling a prank on his Master or simply rest. Yes he was tired mentally, its been 7 years Goddamit! But it turned out to be a test! Only powerful cultivators can be this profund...

While in the truth Sima Long went into drinking spree with his brothers, managed to swindle and bed supreme beauty while losing most of his wealth gambling against Sect Master he actually forgot! In reality he left one formation that was supposed to inform him if something happened to his trees and one to observe what was happening inside, he just didnt! After all he had more important stuff to do, the only reason his 7 years long party ended was because while gambling he gambled even his was disciple! While he didnt lose his life away, he was supposed to be send outside as a cannon fodder while he never ever trained any battle art or even simple form of Qi useful in battle! Hell he didnt even know how to throw a punch! His disciple was doomed, his plan got screwed and his debt wont be paid!!

While Sima was upset about it all, there was still a low chance that his disciple actually wont die!

"I suppose since You never left my Garden, You dont know the truth about the wars against the Evil Sects and stuff like this?" This was actually common knowledge, while Sects fought a lot for the resources or a reasons as random as trying to kindap a beauty - most wars was between Orthodox and Unorthodox also called Evil Sects. As it was not really proper to fight unless there was a reason between their own 'faction' as there were many opponents of the opposing one!

"Bloodlight Sect is the great enemy of Sky Fall Sect or at least thats how it is on the surface. I wont go into details, but there is actually a lot of shabby and hidden deals between our Sects under the table. War of the Beast Valley is actually one of them" Listening to his master monologue Ren felt his blood boil! Who didnt want to be a hero who slaughered the Evil? Claimed the beauty and fortune. His Mother used to tell him many stories like this, while thinking about his Mother and how much he missed her his expression once again took gloomy turn.

Thinking that his disciple was actually scared of the Bloodlight Sect Sima Long made a soft sigh 'What a tender kid, my debt is gone. He wont survive!!!!!'

"And War of the Beast Valley will start soon. 10000 cultivators from each side will take part in it. Which in turn will further be 1000 teams with 10 members for both of our Sects. Whats more there is a age limit. Only those younger than 20 can take part in it, as its supposed to be a battle of the younger generation" In truth it was just a game between the Sects, throwing minimum benefit, training their core members and throwing away the trash they dont need. Yes 1000 teams refers to 1000 inners and core disciples while the other 9 in their team were meant to be cannon fooder combined from those with low potential! If they survived it was good, but if they didnt no one cared! It was mostly those of the Outer Sect who were meant to become the victims, but there were also a small number of Inner disciples like Ren who somewhat made it on that list of death! There was one battle like this every 10 years and the number of dead reached as much as 6000 on average! Sometimes it was as tragic as even 9500, while once only few core members survived!

"Master but how can there be that many cultivators below 20 in our Sect?" Cultivators refered to the ones who entered the Fundation realm as those below didnt even have the right to be deemed as cannon fooder!

"Kid every year our Sect absorb few thousands of new blood, which it gives us like 100 or more Outer disciples per year. If You count only those it is indeed not enough, however out sects has countless members. Whatever disciples, cultivators, elders, menial disciples or servants. Most of them formed families or even whole clans! Each descendand of theirs no matter the status had the right to enter the sect as well. Then tell me how many new Outer disciples our Sect had per year?" Just by trying to imagine the sheer amout of people living on these Mountains... It was actually a terryfing number!

"We have over milion members in the Sect each year! Yes, many of them fails anyway to become Outer disciples but many of them does! Not to mention many shady deals made to help some of them, their number is actually high. I wont say how many but propably 5% can make it. Then tell me is 10000 per 10 years many?" Hearing his Master made Ren go silent. Those recruited from outside had 2% chance to enter, but those from inside with way higher numbers as high as 5%? Why the treatment was that much diffrent? What about all these people who cant even try to enter even if they want!
