Chapter 703: The Divine Dragon Martial Arts Tournament (14)
The Emei Sect —one of the Nine Great Schools, representing the orthodox martial sects of the Nine Heavens.
Situated in Sichuan, it stood apart from other sects in that it was composed exclusively of female martial artists.
Why was that? I wasn’t sure.
Frankly, I didn’t care enough to find out.
From what I did know, it wasn’t always this way.
After the Blood Demon War, the sect began exiling male disciples and restructuring itself with only female practitioners.
People often wondered how such a sect could retain its status among the Nine Great Schools while being exclusively female, but such speculation was meaningless to me.
Once Qi enters the body, gender ceases to matter.
From the perspective of martial artists, the distinction between men and women was irrelevant.
Power was defined by cultivation, not biology.
It’s those idiots who hesitate because she’s a woman that are the real problem.
That kind of thinking might apply to ordinary people, but for martial artists, it was meaningless.
