Chapter 521: Chapter 277 True Disciple (Request for Monthly Votes and Recommendations)

The waiting process seemed somewhat long.

Li Yunjing stood at the door, idly looking around at the beautiful scenery among the clouds.

He and Xu Wuyi ascended from the mountainside. According to Li Yunjing’s estimation, the height he climbed was at least ten thousand zhang.

And below the mountainside, it was shrouded in layers of mist, making it impossible to see how deep it went.

Li Yunjing roughly estimated that ’Shenxiao Peak’ might be as high as twenty to thirty thousand zhang.

Thinking of such a tall mountain, Li Yunjing felt a little dizzy.

This ’Shenxiao Peak’ was practically like an Ancient Divine Mountain.

On this Divine Mountain, everywhere there were great halls, each layer higher than the previous one, soaring into the Ninth Layer of the clouds.

Treading on the clouds beneath his feet, surrounded by such a Grotto Heaven Blessed Land, Li Yunjing faintly felt as if he had become an immortal, arriving at the heavenly palace to worship the gods.

Seeing this country bumpkin look on Li Yunjing’s face, Xu Wuyi stroked his beard and laughed silently.

In his heart, he thought, "This little brat, seeing the sect’s power, that arrogant demeanor certainly could use some restraining."

In fact, this was truly the case.

Li Yunjing originally thought that becoming a True Disciple wouldn’t be much different from before.

But since arriving at ’Shenxiao Peak,’ Li Yunjing’s mind was constantly being impacted, even feeling the fear and nervousness of a country bumpkin entering the city.

Every grass and tree, every tier and step, everything deeply shocked Li Yunjing.

"Alright! Li Yunjing, you can go in now! As for Steward Xu, please wait here for a moment!"

After quite a while, the guard who had gone in to report came back and shouted.

"This is the ’Assessment Hall,’ the place where True Disciples are tested. Li Yunjing, you may enter!"

Seeing Li Yunjing looking his way, Xu Wuyi thought for a moment and still gave a few instructions, "Earlier, the Elder of the ’Assessment Hall’ has agreed to see you. They will check how well you have completed your tasks. As long as there are no problems, the Elder will immediately teach you the second Chapter of the ’Shenxiao Jade Scroll,’ issue a new Identity Token, and distribute benefits, thus officially becoming a True Disciple."

"I understand! Thank you, Steward Xu, for the reminder!"

At this crucial moment, Xu Wuyi was still reliable, and Li Yunjing gratefully nodded. Then, under the guidance of the guard, he walked towards the main hall.

Passing through the gate, he entered a vast plaza. The guard led Li Yunjing to a palace, and Li Yunjing looked over, seeing the plaque above the palace with the three characters "True Inheritance Palace."

The ’Assessment Hall’ was actually a massive complex of buildings.

Within the ’Assessment Hall,’ there were many subdivided institutions, including the ’Miscellaneous Palace,’ ’Outer Sect Palace,’ ’Inner Sect Palace,’ ’True Inheritance Palace,’ and many others.

All these institutions are headquarters.

For example, the ’Miscellaneous Hall’ that Li Yunjing once went to in the western mountain area was managed vertically by the ’Miscellaneous Palace’ under the ’Assessment Hall.’

The ’True Inheritance Palace’ was the place managing True Disciples. Having completed the assessment for becoming a True Disciple, Li Yunjing naturally had to come here for inspection.

As long as it was confirmed that Li Yunjing had indeed completed his task and had no issues with his identity, his new identity would be issued.

On ’Shenxiao Peak,’ there were numerous similar institutions, all of which were headquarters, managing all matters of the Shenxiao Dao Sect’s various peaks, including the Great Ming Dynasty and border areas.

This was the true power center of the Shenxiao Dao Sect.

For instance, the ’Seven Star Palace’ also had its headquarters here, where a notable figure like Palace Master Qin had his Dao Field, although such a figure had many places to conduct his work.

Palace Master Qin did not proactively manage the ’Seven Star Palace,’ and almost no one could find him to handle official business.

Li Yunjing understood these principles as well!

For example, Li Yunjing’s current Dao Field was at ’Qiuwu Manor,’ but he had close relationships with Yu Yunyi and Lv Ruoxi and could also stay at their Dao Fields, which could be considered half his territory.

Moreover, in the ’Red Sun Market’ and ’Myriad Swords City,’ there also existed Li Yunjing’s ’Star Moon Trading Company,’ which was also considered his territory.

He could reside in various places.

It’s all the same principle.

Finally witnessing the headquarters of an institution, Li Yunjing felt a sense of awe and, under the guard’s guidance, stepped inside.

Entering the ’True Inheritance Palace,’ Li Yunjing curiously observed the surroundings. The main hall of the ’True Inheritance Palace’ was very bright, with eternal light.

The entire hall was at least a hundred zhang in size, inside which more than a dozen Foundation Establishment Realm Cultivators and Golden Core Realm Cultivators were busy.

Li Yunjing was a bit dumbfounded seeing so many people. Who should he approach?

"Are you Li Yunjing?"

However, much to Li Yunjing’s relief, someone called out to him.

Li Yunjing followed the voice and saw an elder in a white Daoist robe.

He slightly sensed the other’s aura and felt a vast power, deep and immeasurable, with the presence of a Golden Core Realm.

These days, Li Yunjing frequently interacted with people or demons of this level, so he wouldn’t mistake it.

"Disciple Li Yunjing, greets the Elder!"

Li Yunjing quickly stepped forward and respectfully saluted.

"Hmm! Hand your Identity Token to me for inspection!"

The elder scrutinized Li Yunjing for a moment, nodded, and instructed indifferently.

"Yes! This is my Token and the task evidence!"
