Chapter 134: Rescue!
Translator: Daoist6fubtiW
Daxia immortal sect
“Brother Hu, did the Sect Master come up with something new again? Have you seen it?”
“Calm down, calm down. Is it your first day in the sect?” Zhang Hu dismissed it with disdain. Really, couldn’t they be as composed as he was?
Shocked to the point of becoming accustomed, shocked to the point of feeling natural, shocked to the point of considering it inevitable?
Huh… he wasn’t numb from shock.
“Brother Hu, the Sect Master’s methods are too extraordinary.”
“Don’t worry about it. What we need is to focus on improving our strength. No matter how extraordinary these two functions are, it’s all in vain without sect contributions. How many sect contributions do you have?”
“Twelve points…”
In the Tianxia Immortal Sect, their conversation didn’t carry the ethereal air of cultivators, no terms like “daoist friends,” “senior brothers,” or “junior brothers” were used.
They had just been plucked from the Jianghu (mortal world) into this position by Su Yang.
For them, they knew nothing about the rules of the immortal sect, and there were no such rules here either.
To them, this was still the Jianghu, just in a different place.
Even in an immortal sect, closer relationships might not always be addressed with respectful titles; instead, they used more familiar terms.
After the recent changes in the Tianxia Immortal Sect, the demand for sect contributions from disciples became even greater. At the same time, the qualifications of the disciples had greatly improved during this promotion. There would be a wave of skyrocketing strength in the following days.
That was on the disciple’s side.
Then there were the sword holders of the Tianxia Immortal Sect.
It was impossible to elevate all these sword holders to the limits achievable in the current Tianxia world.
To reach the Golden Core Perfection, it required 200 World Origin Essence, and now he only had 30. He couldn’t raise even one of them.
To reach the Nascent Soul stage required 5,000 World Origin Essence…
That’s why even if one world became powerful, it wouldn’t be filled with top-tier experts everywhere.
It was simply unrealistic; stacking resources for every top-tier expert’s appearance was highly impractical.
Once there were enough World Origin Essences, Su Yang would promote some powerful sword holders, but only a fraction of them.
They were classified, and not every matter required the strongest sword holders to handle.
For now, it would be best for the sword holders to stay at the Golden Core Perfection stage. He couldn’t afford to upgrade them.
The sword holders also needed promotion conditions, and rewards for handling matters were also required.
However, those who obtained promotion quotas could skyrocket.
The promotion conditions were determined by the number of times they acted, the difficulty of problem-solving, and their contributions as sword holders.
Publishing the tasks they needed was another way to get them involved and motivated, without having Gu Xiu continuously mobilizing these sword holders for minor issues, which would have made them lazy after acquiring this position.
In addition to these measures, Su Yang also decided to send the disciples of the Tianxia Immortal Sect to help the Red Earth Star.
Saving a human planet could bring benefits and was something they had to do.
According to the memories obtained through soul-searching, the main combatants on the Red Earth Star ranged from the Foundation Establishment stage to the Golden Core stage.
Nascent Soul or higher-level beings were rare to appear in combat; usually, they held their positions and defended large strongholds.
In such circumstances, as long as they were cautious, they would be safe after the Golden Core stage.
There could be exceptions due to bad luck, just like in the Demonic Beast Small Worlds; those who had bad luck would die, even in an instant.
In Su Yang’s setting, killing a Silver Moon clan cultivator without a sin would yield rewards of 1 to 3 times the quality of the spirit objects equivalent to the cultivator’s realm.
For example, handing over a Golden Core level foundational spirit object would earn 100 sect contributions.
Therefore, killing a Silver Moon clan cultivator in the Golden Core Initial stage without any sin would earn 100 sect contributions.
For sins at levels Iv1 to Iv100, 200 sect contributions could be earned.
When the sins of a Silver Moon clan cultivator exceeded Iv100, a reward of 300 sect contributions would be given.
Su Yang also added another function to the disciples’ tokens; by scanning with the tokens, they could see if someone had sins on their heads.
After setting the rewards and requirements, Su Yang issued the first sect task.
[Sect Task: Rescue]
Description: A new crack has appeared in the Demonic Beast Small World, and on the other side of the crack, humanity is under attack by extraterrestrial invaders. While we, as humans, seek peace, we will not hesitate to fight back when other races attack us!
Requirements: Disciples at the Golden Core stage can accept this task, proceed to the Red Earth Star, and defend our human race by killing Silver Moon clan members!
Rewards: Killing any Silver Moon clan member will earn sect contributions equal to 1 to 3 times the quality of the spirit object equivalent to the cultivator’s realm.
After completing this last task in his room, Su Yang was finally able to continue cultivating.
He had two options ahead.
One was to accumulate enough World Origin Essence first, extract the Elemental Core-level ores he needed, and then forge a spirit sword.
The other was to accumulate World Origin Essence and enter the World Origin Region.
Between the two, Su Yang made his choice without hesitation.
He didn’t know what the World Origin Region was like, but the immediate benefits of forging a spirit sword were clear and necessary.
As for spending some World Origin Essence to gamble in the World Origin Region, he didn’t like taking such risks.
What if he ended up in some desperate place where he would die instantly upon entering, with no time to react? Even if he could instantly leave, it wouldn’t help.
In the courtyard, Su Yang continued to wield his sword…
Tianxia Immortal Sect – Hongtian Courtyard
Hongtian was excited to see the appearance of the sect mission.
He knew that the Sect Master would handle such matters!
Those who slaughter humans shall be punished!
Hongtian’s eyes were bright, and he wanted to accept the task and head out immediately.
But he held back.
His talent had just been promoted to the level of Heavenly Spiritual Roots. Now he needed to focus on improving his strength. In the coming days, he would experience a period of rapid strength growth.
When the surge in strength was over and it reached a steady state, he would go to Red Earth Star to offer support.
With stronger power, he could play a bigger role and reap greater rewards.
Hongtian settled down in the courtyard, entering the Spiritual Fluid Pool to cultivate.
With his current talent, entering the Spiritual Fluid Pool for cultivation was a guaranteed win.
If a lower-grade spiritual root absorbed 1 unit of spiritual energy, he would absorb more than a thousand units.
As the mission to save Red Earth Star was issued, many leading disciples of the Tianxia Immortal Sect began preparing.
However, some chose to take a more cautious approach and progress step by step in the Demonic Beast Small World.
The Tianxia Immortal Sect had a hundred thousand disciples, and each person had their own choices.
Among them, Hongtian was undoubtedly the top figure of the present generation, primarily because of his talent.
But Hongtian was also extremely diligent and had never stopped advancing.
In just one day, he had reached the Golden Core Perfection.
To make another breakthrough to the Nascent Soul stage was a bit challenging; it required better preparation or a significant amount of sect contributions.
In the courtyard, Hongtian prepared himself.
Without hesitation, he accepted the rescue mission.
It was time to go; save Red Earth Star and earn enough sect contributions!
He was used to going alone, and he didn’t seek companions.
After getting ready, he headed into the Demonic Beast Small World and then to the crack leading to the Red Earth Star.
While Su Yang was busy wielding his sword, he noticed Hongtian’s request and approved it without delay.
Su Yang naturally paid more attention to Hongtian, who had always been at the forefront among the disciples.
Now, he was the first Tianxia Immortal Sect disciple to enter the Red Earth Star.
With his talent and hard work, how could his strength not soar?
