(It's time for the fourth watch today!)

Under the lead of Xue Dong King, Jian Wushuang came to the counter in the middle of the hall. A thin old man in a Taoist robe was dozing off.
"Elder Qiu, stop sleeping," Xue Dong King shouted.
The thin old man in a Taoist robe moved his eyelids slightly and then opened his eyes.
After opening his eyes, he glanced at Jian Wushuang and Xue Dong King and said indifferently, "What's the matter?"
"This little brother next to me wants to join the Heaven-cleaving Alliance," Xue Dong King said.
"Where's the Heaven-cleaving token?" The thin old man, who was Elder Qiu, stretched out his hand.
Jian Wushuang did not hesitate and handed over his Heaven-cleaving token.
Elder Qiu glanced at the Heaven-cleaving token and nodded slightly. "What's your name or title?"
"Title?" Jian Wushuang's expression changed.
"Brother Jian, only a few people in the Heaven-cleaving Alliance are willing to show their true faces like me. Most of them wear gray robes and masks to hide their identities. Naturally, they won't use their real names, so most of them will give themselves a title. If you want to hide your identity in the future, you can also give yourself a title," Xue Dong King said.
Jian Wushuang immediately pondered.
Title … he still remembered that when he was young, he had traveled around in the Green Fire World as a swordsman.
Later on, when he came to the Ten Thousand Chaotic World, he also had the reputation of Sword Emperor.
Now that he wanted to give a title, Jian Wushuang thought of Sword Emperor.
But soon, he shook his head. The title Sword Emperor was too common in the Absolute Beginning Divine World.
Many sword experts in the Absolute Beginning Divine World were called Sword Emperor, Sword Emperor, and Sword Saint. Naturally, there were also Sword Emperors.
Jian Wushuang thought of a special one.
After pondering for a moment, Jian Wushuang finally thought of a title. "I'll call myself Heavenly Sword Marquis."
"Heavenly Sword Marquis?" Xue Dong King looked over and nodded. "It's a very domineering title."
Jian Wushuang smiled.
Heavenly Sword Marquis, the first name that came to his mind was Sword Marquis Mansion.
That was the place where he was born. Unfortunately, Sword Marquis Mansion no longer existed after so many years.
Elder Qiu, who was in front of the counter, swiped his hand and left the words' Heavenly Sword Marquis' in the Heaven-Cleaving Token.
"Leave your message token here. I'll inform you when it's time to prepare for the assessment," Elder Qiu said.
Jian Wushuang handed his message token to Elder Qiu and asked at the same time, "How long will it take?"
"The assessment of the Heaven-cleaving Alliance will be held every once in a while. Every time, dozens of experts from hundreds of nests around will gather at the same time to register for the assessment. It has been nine years since the last assessment, and there is less than a year left. During this period of time, you can stay here and wait, or you can leave on your own. When the assessment time is up, you can come back," Elder Qiu said.
"It's only a year. I'll just wait here." Jian Wushuang smiled and then looked at Xue Dong King beside him. "Xue Dong King, thank you very much this time."
"It doesn't matter. It's rare to see a talent that even I admire. Anyway, I have nothing to do during this period of time, so I'll stay here with you. I'll also take a look at some of the missions that have been issued during this period of time." Xue Dong King smiled and looked at Elder Qiu. "Old man, show me some of the new missions that have been issued in the nearby territories during this period of time."
Elder Qiu glanced at Xue Dong King and threw a jade slip over. "The mission list is here. Take a look at it yourself."
Xue Dong King took the jade slip and found a seat beside Jian Wushuang.
"Brother Jian, it won't be long before you become a member of the Heaven-cleaving Alliance. Moreover, your strength is not inferior to mine. You can also take a look at this mission list." Xue Dong King placed the jade slip in front of Jian Wushuang.
Jian Wushuang nodded slightly, and the two of them began to check the jade slip together.
"One-star ordinary mission: kill a Peak Great Divine Master."
"Mission location: Blood Smoke Cave."
"Mission reward: 400,000 sacred elixirs, plus a third-grade offensive holy treasure."
…
"One-star ordinary mission: protect an Earth Divine Master for a hundred years."
"Mission location: Luo Jie? Realm. "
"Mission reward: 600,000 sacred elixirs."
…
"Three-star ordinary mission: kill the three Shadow Saints."
"Mission reward: two million sacred elixirs, two top-grade third-grade offensive holy treasures, and one top-grade defensive armor holy treasure."
…
Jian Wushuang only glanced at it casually, but he was a little shocked when he saw the first three missions.
There were special missions in the jade slip. Each mission only had a simple introduction, but there was no detailed process or background.
However, in general, the rewards of these missions were extremely high, terrifyingly high!
"Just by killing a Peak Great Divine Master, I can get 400,000 sacred elixirs and a third-grade offensive holy treasure. Isn't this reward too high? Or is it that this Peak Great Divine Master is different from ordinary people and is difficult to kill? "Jian Wushuang could not help but ask.
"No, if I'm not wrong, that Peak Great Divine Master's strength is ordinary. With our strength, we can easily kill him. The reason why this mission is still here and the reward is so high should be the location of this mission, which is the Blood Smoke Cave," Xue Dong King said.
"Is there anything special about the Blood Smoke Cave?" Jian Wushuang asked.
"Heavenly Sword Marquis, you don't come from the surrounding territories, so you don't know." Xue Dong King had changed the way he addressed Jian Wushuang.
Previously, he had always called Jian Wushuang brother sword, which made Jian Wushuang feel very strange, so he asked Xue Dong King to call him Heavenly Sword Marquis.
"The Blood Smoke Cave is a famous dangerous place in the surrounding territories. Not to mention Divine Masters, even ordinary Immortal Saints have a certain chance of dying if they enter this dangerous place. Ordinary Invincible Divine Masters have a 70% chance of dying if they enter." Xue Dong King said in a deep voice, "There is a 70% chance of dying. Those Invincible Divine Masters who have already become members of the Heaven-cleaving Alliance will definitely not take the risk."
"Most of those Immortal Saints will not take such a great risk to enter the Blood Smoke Cave for a mere 400,000 sacred elixirs. Therefore, the reward for this mission is not high, but too low. If the person who issued the mission can increase the reward to 600,000 or 700,000 sacred elixirs, then there should be Invincible Divine Masters or Immortal Saints who will take the risk."
"Is that so?" Jian Wushuang understood, but immediately asked, "Since the Blood Smoke Cave is so dangerous, then how did the Peak Great Ultimate God with the bounty get in? Could it be that he's still alive?"
"Who knows? In short, although this mission is only one-star, I'm not interested," Xue Dong King said.
