Earth School

Qiu Luliu explained the five elemental schools to Bai Yunfei with the following:

"Starting from the Soul Sprite stage, you can control the natural elements. Most soul cultivators are affiliated with one of the five elements, therefore these five schools have been very successful in terms of disciples. Of course, the other five schools have a lot of disciples too. In fact, each individual element school is inferior to the other five schools and is even only slightly stronger than the few schools which are very close to reaching the top ten schools in status."

“However, the five elements reinforce each other and are like birds of a feather. These schools have been in alliance and doing things together since they were created. It’s because of this that they are listed among the ten great schools together. Of course, you could also regard these five schools as a single school, but then it would become ‘top six schools’ instead of ‘top ten schools’."
