Realm-Hopping Martial Master-Chapter 347 - 226: One Man’s Success Uplifts His Whole Clan! Join the Sect! Join the Sect!_2
Within the Light Shield.
Countless waterfalls cascaded down the peaks that reached into the clouds, slanting like celestial jade dragons.
Atop the peaks, ancient and majestic Great Halls stood, their grand aura seeming to breathe day and night. Countless pine trees with twisted roots and sprawling branches grew; even a random one was a Heaven and Earth Treasure Medicine of the Fifth or Sixth Rank or higher.
The rich Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi washed over every pore of the geniuses.
"Martial Arts lead to the Immortal path! Only here can one pursue the ultimate height!"
"The Six Martial Arts Realms are merely the foundation for the path of immortality."
Although the matter of Master Ming Lei is crucial, once I’m in the Sect, I should keep a low profile. After all, Master Ming Lei’s enemy is an Inner Sect Disciple, True Master Yuan Dan! Whether it’s Thunder Prison Peak or his followers, they are not something I can deal with yet.
What I need to do is to establish myself firmly in the Sect, stabilize my Cultivation, condense True Fire, and step into the Furnace Fire Realm.
It was as if endless surges were striking Jiang Shu’s heart. He and a thousand geniuses stood on a giant ship, sailing through the sea of clouds, watching the approaching True Martial Sect, their emotions undulating uncontrollably.
The cranes, larger and stronger than oxen, circled outside the True Martial Sect. With every flap of their wings, storms howled; their seemingly soft feathers were actually capable of piercing metal. Their claws underneath were sharper than any ordinary-rank Treasure!
"These are the cranes raised by our True Martial Sect. Compared to Demon Beasts, they are gentle in nature, each of them at the Condensing Seed Realm. Of course, being at this Realm, they naturally possess the pride of the Condensing Seed Realm. You may be geniuses in your mundane Dynasties, but in their eyes, you are mere ants. Thus, you must be extremely careful in handling them later, and not foolishly think that you are smarter because humans and beasts differ."
"Even Jiang Shu, Ye Huang, and Yue Baxian, though you have fought against the phantom of a Condensing Seed Realm Demon Beast, a phantom is negligible in front of a true Demon Beast, so do not be arrogant."
The white-garbed attendant kindly explained, "Soon, I will assign you all to Chores Peak. Though it’s called a peak, it’s actually just the outer mountainsides. The points you earned in the Hundred Dynasties War can be exchanged for Contribution Points. Every hundred points can be exchanged for one Contribution Point."
"The uses of Contribution Points will naturally be explained to you in time. Generally speaking, three to five Contribution Points can exempt you from a month of chores."
"Of course, being a servant disciple is just a temporary status for you. Once you condense True Fire and step into the Furnace Fire Realm, you’ll all be eligible to take the Outer Disciple’s test. If you pass, you’ll not only receive treasure garments but also various practical talismans."
"Like the Protective Vajra Talisman obtained by Yue Baxian, that’s one of them. Only as an Outer Disciple will you have the qualifications to undertake various Sect missions in the mission hall, experience trials in dangerous environments, and increase your Cultivation. Here we are."
The giant ship descended slowly. It was surrounded by sprawling mountains; though called Chores Peak, the area showed no signs of hardship.
Rising tall buildings were more numerous than those of the Luo Family. Although not as vast as an imperial palace, they everywhere manifested a simplicity that approached the Great Dao.
After delivering these geniuses of the Hundred Dynasties War, the Outer Disciple left gracefully.
In his place came the manager of Chores Peak.
"I don’t care what statuses you once held, Prince or Princely Heir, in our True Martial Sect, there are only True Inheritors, Inner Sect, Outer Disciples, and servant disciples! Each rank is worlds apart! Within the True Martial Sect, Realm is your identity, identity is your Realm!"
"As servant disciples, you are to serve everyone in the Sect! Soon, I will issue your exclusive Identity Jade; it will record your Contribution Points. Each month, the Identity Jade will update with new tasks, and you will have the opportunity to choose one out of three."
"Of course, opting for all of them is not forbidden. As long as you can complete them, the more you do, the more Contribution Points you will earn. But once a task is accepted, it must be completed. Failure will not only cost Contribution Points but also require you to compensate for any losses incurred from the task!"
If the Outer Disciple earlier played the good cop, now the Chores Peak manager undoubtedly played the bad cop.
"Alright, now, you can choose a room. A single room costs three Contribution Points per month. A double room, two Contribution Points per month. A three-person room, one Contribution Point per month."
"Those who do not pay with Contribution Points will all share a six-person room."
"Here are your Identity Jades. When your name is called, come forward to receive your token."
True Fire burned. Those who became managers at Chores Peak were naturally also in the Furnace Fire Realm; the manager’s mighty voice echoed in the ears of the thousand geniuses.
A powerful spiritual pressure came down as he leisurely registered them one by one; one genius after another stepped forward to collect their Identity Jade.
「As time passed, dusk had unknowingly arrived.」
After the last genius had collected their Identity Jade, everyone else also chose their rooms. Some, wishing to accumulate Contribution Points, had no choice but to move into six-person rooms.
Others, for the sake of Cultivation, spent three Contribution Points to enter a single room.
Jiang Shu was one of them.
"Brother Jiang, Luo Yu and I have decided to live together in Block B. If there is anything, feel free to call us through the Identity Jade."
After the crowd dispersed, Xue Xuan approached Jiang Shu, cupped his fists, and spoke.
Being a Prince, he naturally wasn’t accustomed to living in a room with many others.
But the three Contribution Points for a single room were indeed too expensive. He had no choice but to settle for living with Luo Yu, saving some Contribution Points in the process. Firstly, it saved a Contribution Point, and secondly, since Luo Yu was Jiang Shu’s good friend, he felt integrated into this group.
"Brother Jiang, I didn’t expect you to be the first in the great battle this time..."
Even now, Luo Yu still felt as if he was in a dream, not yet awakened.
"Now that we are in the Sect, let’s not dwell on past glories. In the Sect, the hierarchy is clear: there are only True Inheritors, Inner Sect Disciples, Outer Disciples, and servant disciples. As a servant disciple, even if one was first in the Hundred Dynasties War, one is still a servant disciple and must act humbly before an Outer Disciple."
"The Sect is not a utopian world. It is even more ruthless than the Dynasties we came from!"
"Contribution Points are the gold and silver here!"
He shook his head, cutting off Luo Yu’s congratulations. His over two thousand points had been entirely converted into Contribution Points.
After deducting the cost for one month’s room, only twenty Contribution Points remained.
After exchanging pleasantries with Xue Xuan and Luo Yu, Jiang Shu returned to his small room and channeled his spiritual power into the Identity Jade.
The Identity Jade was not only a symbol of their identity but also enabled them to access some publicly disclosed information from the True Martial Sect. It was similar to a smartphone on Xuanxing.
He first briefly reviewed the rules of the True Martial Sect, getting a rough idea, and then immediately started to look up various Martial Arts compendiums.
Rules have always been set by the strong for the weak!
One only needs to have a rough understanding; there’s no need to know every detail.
When I become an Inner Sect Disciple, some Sect rules can be disregarded!
Unfortunately, although he had joined the True Martial Sect, to obtain a Spirit Rank Cultivation Technique, he would need to accumulate at least one hundred Contribution Points.
This showed that Chores Peak wouldn’t be peaceful. After all, considering that one task might yield only three to five Contribution Points, accumulating a hundred could take a long time.
Chores Peak was not only home to these newcomers.
The older disciples, those here before us, would definitely take this opportunity to come and extort Contribution Points.
And this was entirely within the rules of the True Martial Sect.
Because it’s survival of the fittest!
However, as long as they don’t trouble me for now, that should be fine.
With that thought in mind, Jiang Shu narrowed his eyes, looking at the detailed introductions within the Martial Arts compendiums.
Although he had practiced four types of Cultivation Techniques in the Da Jing Dynasty, they weren’t systematic and couldn’t compare to the solid foundation laid by these Martial Arts compendiums.
More importantly, an excellent Martial Arts compendium is derived from Divine Skills.
Not only can I further solidify the foundation of my Six Martial Arts Realms, but I can also use the panel, Break Limit them, and thereby cultivate Divine Skills!
