Chapter 82: Chapter 75 Assessment Task
The Wuji Dao Sect rewarded excellence and valued genius.
Once one became a legacy disciple, their life would truly experience dramatic transformations like sudden storms, transforming into dragons, or ascending to heaven—such were the peaks of life encounters.
Yang Ji read in a book that within the Wuji Dao Sect, there was a legacy disciple by the name of "Hao Yun."
This person possessed immense fortune; whenever he left his house, he could find Treasure Devices, and casually kicking a stone might reveal Mysterious Jade. Wherever he wandered, he could spot Divine Medicine.
Exploring secret realms and Immortal Mansions, he could even obtain the inheritance left by Mahayana cultivators.
Such characters could truly be described as "profound and formidable," the chosen sons of heaven endowed with great fortune in this era.
With luck like a shadow, it would be difficult for them not to achieve something notable.
Yang Ji also felt quite emotional. Up to now, his only achievement had been inheriting the legacy of the predecessor Fu Dongliu, and he wondered if this counted as having great fortune.
He didn't know, so he continued to read.
He also learned that people of their status didn't even have the qualifications to wear the sect's clothing, nor was there any so-called initiation ceremony.
That's because they were still in the assessment stage, where only by passing the first assessment would they be entitled to the basic rights and resources of the sect.
After glancing through 'Wuji Dao Sect', Yang Ji started browsing 'Cultivation World'.
This book depicted the various aspects of the Cultivation World—from astrology to geography, from social customs to the mysterious and unpredictable.
Secret realms, powers, regions, and races—all were involved.
As he flipped through the pages, Yang Ji discovered that the world he was currently in was called Taichu.
This primal great world was incredibly vast, so vast that even if a Nascent Soul True Monarch flew continuously without stopping, they could not reach the end in a lifetime.
Among the heavens and earth, there were, in fact, two thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine such naturally formed primal Cultivation great worlds.
As for the smaller Cultivation worlds, there were countless others.
Beyond that, in the vast outer space beyond these realms, the stars too housed thriving Cultivation civilizations.
Furthermore, in the void beyond the realm, there were numerous large and small True Cultivation Worlds opened up by powerful beings, truly fantastical and colorful.
Indeed, the pursuit of cultivation was not limited to one corner, and the light of Longevity spread across the universe.
It was only at this moment that Yang Ji realized how narrow his own view had been and that the world was full of such incredible diversity and wonder.
"Outer space? Primal great worlds? Primal small worlds? Worlds created by powerful beings? If given the chance, I would like to visit them," Yang Ji murmured softly to himself.
As he continued reading, he learned more about the various races that existed in this world, not just the Human Race and Demon Race, but also the Hundred Clans.
In this great world, the Human Race was in a dominant position, while other races held a weaker status. In other great worlds, the situation was different.
The void beyond the realm was the domain of the Heavenly Demons, while the leading races of other great worlds were the God Race, Holy Race, Spirit Race, Dragon Race, Battle Race, and so on.
Realizing this, Yang Ji couldn't help but feel enlightened; the Human Race was just a spark in the fiery Cultivation civilization.
The thought of those powerful beings traversing various worlds, being unrestrained and carefree, made his heart surge with excitement.
"With such beauty in the world, how can one comprehend it all without Longevity?" A radiant light flashed in Yang Ji's eyes as everything he had learned opened up his world view.
This made his desire for Longevity even more resolute.
Yang Ji continued to absorb the knowledge from the books, a pursuit that engrossed him for a full month.
It was a month later when his Dao Sect Command Token suddenly vibrated, emitting a ring of Spiritual Light.
"Finally, it has come!" Yang Ji's expression turned solemn, knowing that this was the sect issuing him a trial mission.
Picking up the Talisman Command, he saw rows of small characters displayed inside.
[Name: Yang Ji. Strength: Golden Core peak. Trial task: according to the intelligence, a demon in Baxuan City, a million li away from the Dao Sect, is committing acts of evil, using cultivators as nourishment to breed Evil Holy Medicine. Take this mission to eliminate the leader of the evil. Note: Baxuan City has eight City Lords, all are Golden Core peak cultivators.
Besides you, another seven Golden Core peak cultivators from our sect have taken this task. Only by bringing back the head of one evildoer can the trial be passed.]]
"There are another seven people who received the same task as me? Eight against eight? The first trial should not be difficult," Yang Ji pondered and suddenly stood up. With his perfected Great Divine Power technique, he possessed the formidable strength to slay ordinary Nascent Soul True Monarchs, which was more than enough to deal with the Golden Core True Persons in such a rogue cultivator city.
However, to be absolutely certain of success, he thought it would be best to discuss with the other seven.
But not knowing who the other seven were or how to contact them was indeed a problem.
As he pondered, Yang Ji gave up on the idea of making contact, for the time being. Although they couldn't connect at the moment, everyone had the same destination: Baxuan City.
Armed with the Dao Sect Command Token, they could sense each other's tokens within a certain range. Once he arrived in Baxuan City, things would become clear.
Thinking this way, Yang Ji used his Dao Sect Command Token to leave the room and then flew towards the Teleportation Grand Hall outside.
...
After several days and multiple transfers, Yang Ji finally arrived at Baxuan City, a million li away.
Baxuan City was large, with a resident population of over ten million, making it one of the largest forces in that area.
The main roads in the city were wide, so much so that eighteen chariots could travel side by side and still appear spacious.
The city bustled with activity, with rows of shops on both sides, a constant stream of carriages and a bustling crowd of people.
Yang Ji concealed his aura and walked slowly through the crowds.
While holding the Dao Sect Command Token secretly in one hand to sense its presence, he soon discovered that there were five Dao Sect disciples inside the City Lord's Mansion.
