Han Ye had cultivated Mountain Shaking Five Elements Gang to perfection, and he had practiced Supreme Ultimate Skill to the ninth layer. He had comprehensively cultivated numerous Divine Powers like Three Thousand Thunder Seals and Observing Water and Gazing at the Moon, and had initially grasped the first three steps in the Heavenly Puppet Technique.
Refining, melting, and shaping.
Refining Spiritual Qi, melting the core, shaping the puppet body, he had already manufactured a crude form of puppet. Although it was extremely rudimentary and made from common iron, it looked like an iron lump.
Han Ye couldn’t help but ponder in his heart, “Even if I master all the puppet techniques now, the gains wouldn’t be significant. Because the puppet that I have refined can only deal with disciples in the Qi Cultivation Realm. It can only confront Foundation Establishment cultivators with the help of Talisman Inscriptions and Formation Techniques, unless I can find a sufficient amount of high-quality materials to modify puppets. Otherwise, my current puppet is just a burdensome cost.”
Besides, why should I use the precious materials and treasures I obtained to improvise puppets? This point seems very contradictory.”
Han Ye now understood why there are so few puppet masters in the cultivation world. As it turns out, it really is unprofitable.
“After half a month of seclusion, it’s time for me to come out. Seven thousand examination points, neither many nor few.”
To obtain the token of a Direct Disciple and officially become a Direct Disciple of the Dragon Sparrow Sect, one must reach a sufficient number of examination points.
To become a Direct Disciple naturally comes with many privileges.
For instance, you can exchange examination points for cultivation resources, or bring your family to live in the Dragon Sparrow Sect. Within Qingyun Immortal Mountain, the Dragon Sparrow Sect guarantees the safety of the disciple’s family.
Only Direct Disciples receive such treatment.
If Inner Sect Disciples are the elites of the sect, and True Inheritance disciples are the young faces of the sect, then Direct Disciples are the pillars of the sect, determining the sect’s future development.
In addition, as a Direct Disciple, you can receive a drop of Dragon Saliva True Liquid every month to temper the body. At the same time, you can exchange examination points for many treasures in Duo Bao Pavilion. Spirit Stones are not necessarily the only currency.
With ten thousand examination points, one can receive a Spirit Treasure.
Currently, Han Ye is in dire need of a handy Spirit Treasure weapon.
Of course, becoming a Direct Disciple also means you must serve the sect. Every quarter, you have to perform a task for the sect to help deal with various matters.
As long as the task is completed, you can receive examination points as a reward from the sect.
After leaving Tongyou Treasure Mountain, Han Ye headed towards the Task
Hall to choose a task.
A Golden Core-level task generally gives about one thousand examination points; just complete seven tasks, and you can advance to a Direct Disciple. However, Han Ye noticed a problem: there aren’t many Golden Core level tasks available on the task column; the number is limited to only two or three, with Foundation Establishment levels tasks being more common.
Tasks with high difficulty are scarce, such as a high-difficulty task of a Nascent Soul level, there is only one.
“It seems I can only substitute with some low-difficulty tasks and fill up the quantity.”
“Head to Dan Province within the Great Zhou and hunt the Earth-grade Barbarian Beasts ‘Golden Eyed Eagle Spirit Beast’. As long as you excavate the eyes of the ‘Golden Eyed Eagle Spirit Beast’ and bring it back to the Dragon Sparrow Sect, you can exchange it for a thousand examination points. Golden Core Cultivators are suggested for this task.”
Han Ye read the task description and silently considered it.
The eyes of the Golden Eyed Eagle Spirit Beast have high medicinal value, which can be used to refine Earth-grade Soul Shaping Pills, which are very beneficial for nurturing Nascent Souls.
“Is there no limit to the number of times this task can be completed?
Han Ye suddenly noticed a special task.
“Two years ago, the Demonic Sects and the Bai Tian Demon Sect joined forces to destroy many arrangements the Celestial Sects had in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, killing many humans inhabiting them…I was in seclusion at that time, wasn’t I?”
Han Ye thought for a moment, then continued reading.
“At the same time, the Demonic Sect and Bai Tian Demon Sect have been expanding on a large scale in the territory of the Great Zhou, establishing subordinates, and secretly controlling the great families.”
He didn’t expect that, during his three years of seclusion, there had been so many changes in the cultivation world, and the situation is even more severe than years ago.
Under the lead of Wuliang Tian, the Immortal Sects immediately issued a strategy to respond, releasing tasks.
All disciples of the sects in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths who kill a Demon Path Cultivator or a Foundation Establishment-level cultivator from the Bai Tian Demon Sect can earn a hundred examination points.
Depending on the enemy’s strength, the stronger the enemy killed, the higher the examination points received. If a base of the Demonic Path or a subordinate base of the Bai Tian Demon Sect can be destroyed, and key members are killed, you can directly get three thousand examination points…
For those strong bases or branches, even higher examination points are gained. For example, the Demonic Sect’s branch in Qingyun State is guarded by a Nascent Soul level strongman without trace, hence the examination points are as high as ten thousand points.
■’If you can eradicate the main base of the Demonic Sect and Demonic Sects, the examination points will be even higher.”
Han Ye’s eyes lit up and said, “Does it mean that the Immortal Sects of all sizes want to engage in a full-scale war with the Demonic Path and the Bai Tian Demon Sect?”
On second thought, it wasn’t so.
This couldn’t be considered as a full-scale war, though both the Immortal and Demon Path are targeting each other, only disciples below True Inheritance, or cultivators below Deity Transformation are involved in this. Elders of such level cannot participate in the war.
Han Ye could understand this.
If elders of their level get involved, it might trigger a full-scale war in the entire cultivation world. At that time, even the Immortal Sect might not be able to control the situation.
Once a war starts, it can’t be stopped. By then, both the mortal world and the cultivation world will turn into purgatory..
