Great Dao City was a city under the jurisdiction of the Great Dao Sect.
Great Sect Leader Tang was also the City Lord. There was no City Lord's Mansion built in the city. Instead, it was replaced by the City Hall. It was the center of the city and managed all the matters of the Great Path City.
Although Old Yan was autistic, the operation of the entire Dao City was still stable and efficient. It could be seen that Old Yan's absence made little difference.
The excitement of the sect disciple assessment had gradually died down. Many humans and foreign races who had settled in Dao City had turned their attention to the upcoming missions.
There were several places in the city where missions could be issued. The core area, the second phase of the project, and even the third phase of the project that was currently under construction all had grand halls dedicated to issuing missions.
At this time, the door of the "Mission Issuance Office" was still closed, but there were already many people waiting around the hall.
These people.
Almost all of them were young people who had been eliminated in the previous assessment, as well as their friends and relatives.
Completing the mission and exchanging contribution points for a spot was the only way for them to become disciples of the sect.
They were nervous about the number of missions.
As the strongest faction of the human race, the Great Dao Sect had mercilessly eliminated many consummate geniuses during the assessment. There were probably not many places that could be exchanged for through contribution points.
Many Void Treading experts were staring at the door of the Mission Office, wanting to snatch the mission with their advantage in strength.
Huo De was also a human Void Treading expert, but he was not interested in the mission that the Big Dao Sect was about to issue.
He was a rogue cultivator.
After cultivating for hundreds of years, Huo De had no companions, no descendants, and no clan.
Without young juniors, even if he had enough contribution points to exchange for a spot to enter the sect, it would be useless.
At the very least, he had never heard that the quota could be transferred.
Huo De felt a little envious when he saw those Void Treading Realm experts waiting in front of the Mission Office with their talented juniors.
In this lifetime, the Void Treading Stage would be his limit. However, if a direct descendant of a genius could enter the Da Dao Sect and become strong in the future, he might be able to provide some precious cultivation aptitude to this' ancestor '.
Powerful clans could provide cultivation resources to the experts in the clan, and the experts in the clan could lead the clan to prosperity … Generation after generation, it was a virtuous cycle. As long as they did not provoke a strong enemy, they would become stronger and stronger.
Huo De … he had also thought of forming a clan.
However, he did not even have a dao companion. It was not because he was ugly, but because … he was poor.
There was no way to talk about it.
He didn't have a mansion in a well-known city like White Town. Instead, he had a manor cave that he had carved himself in a secluded mountain, but it was useless.
Which Lady Void Treading Lady would be willing to stay with him?
Secondly, he did not have a fixed income.
As long as the Void Treading Realm experts of the big clans were stationed at certain resource points, they would be able to obtain a steady stream of resources by cultivating in seclusion.
Huo De was just a rogue cultivator, and did not know how to forge, refine pills, inscribe runes, plant medicinal herbs or any other means to earn Source Crystals.
He could only work for some big families in exchange for some cultivation resources. After so many years, he had almost not saved many Source Crystals.
If he couldn't even afford to raise himself, how could he have a Dao companion? Not to mention starting a branch and establishing a clan.
Sometimes, Huo De's luck was good, and he discovered the birth of some heavenly treasures, but he was no match for other Void Treading Realm experts, and could only flee in a sorry state.
Without a Divine Weapon, without any high-level offensive spells or battle skills, Huo De's battle prowess was at the bottom of the Void Treading realm.
The strong stay strong, and the weak get weaker. In the eyes of outsiders, he was a Void Treading expert, but in reality, he was just a high-level fighter.
"If I could have a Divine Weapon …"
With a Divine Weapon, he would be able to set foot in some areas that he had never dared to set foot in before, and he would have more confidence in competing with other Void Treading Stage cultivators for heavenly materials and earthly treasures. The speed at which he earned Origin Crystals would at least increase several times, and it might not be long before he would be able to buy a second Divine Weapon...
But the premise was that he had to have a Divine Weapon.
"Some time ago, White City's" Treasure Gathering Pavilion "had a Divine Weapon for sale. It was almost the only way for me to obtain a Divine Weapon …"
But he still couldn't afford it.
Huo De clenched his right hand into a fist and slapped his left palm, "I'll go all out. I didn't have a chance before, but now at least I have something to look forward to. The Great Dao City has just been built, and there are still many opportunities. I have to take advantage of this time to earn more Origin Crystals, and maybe I can buy a Divine Weapon …"
Huo De no longer hesitated, striding forward. Just as he passed by the main hall of the "Mission Issuance Office", the hall door suddenly opened.
Whoosh —
Many people who had stopped in front of the main hall suddenly rushed into the hall, and the street outside the hall suddenly became somewhat empty.
Huo De blinked, "How about, I go and take a look?"
He was not interested in the quota to enter the sect, but he thought that among those young people who competed for missions, there might be some who could snatch a mission but could not complete it … then wouldn't he have business!
Huo De walked in.
The inside of the hall was even more vast, like a starry sky. The crowd outside the street all rushed in, but the inside of the hall did not seem crowded.
The moment he entered, he felt a weak but continuous mental wave that spread throughout the entire hall.
After a moment of hesitation, he accepted this mental wave.
It contained some simple information about the "Mission Issuance Office".
"Just a main hall for mission issuance uses spatial technology and some kind of mental communication technology. The Great Dao Sect's methods are so brilliant."
He looked around. Within the hall that looked like a starry sky, there were countless bright stars, and each star represented a mission.
When he walked in, he could see the specific description of the mission.
He could also use his mental power to directly explore.
Huo De's mental power spread out and connected to a few of the stars.
[Collected Black Gold Fire Lotus. Reward: 150 contribution points per flower.]
[Set up any kind of factory in the Great Dao City, recruit 10,000 workers, and operate well. Reward: 100 contribution points.]
[Obtained any kind of medal issued by the Great Dao City's City Hall. Reward: 200 contribution points.]
[Cleared the beasts within a thousand kilometers of the Great Dao City. Reward: Calculated according to the number of contribution points.]
[Investigated the killer 'Demon Shadow'. Reward: 100 ~ 1000 contribution points.]
…
These missions were all in the middle and upper levels. Huo De used his mental power to explore the lower levels of the starry sky.
[Huaihe District – Third Construction Team recruiting two Earth-element awakeners.
Requirements: Cultivation above the Fifth Awakening Stage, mastering one type of Earth Solidifying and Earth Shaping spells.
Reward: 0.5 contribution points per day.]
[Capture a hundred flying-type beasts.
Requirements: Beast cultivation above the Fifth Awakening Stage, and the hundred beasts must be of equal gender and belong to the same beast group.
Reward: 20 contribution points.]
…
Huo De now knew the difficulty of the mission and the corresponding rewards.
He looked around, but there was no scene of people fighting for missions like he had imagined.
"That's true. There are so many stars in the hall, and the number of missions is much more than I expected. There are also all kinds of strange missions. There's even a brick carrying mission."
Huo De thought for a while. He could handle most of the middle and lower level missions, such as the mission to capture the beasts. There was no lack of good species of flying beasts in the Azure Mountains, so it was almost no danger to him.
He looked at the side of the hall. There was a long galaxy, and according to the instructions, it was a list of items that could be exchanged.
Huo De used his mental power to explore it, and the next moment, he saw a list that could not be finished even if he used the mouse for ten minutes.
Oh, the mouse was something he had learned about in the Dao City in recent months.
The most eye-catching thing on the 'exchange list' was [Outer Sect Disciple Entry Quota * 1], worth 1,000 contribution points.
"That's not cheap!"
Huo De did some calculations and knew that even with his Void Treading realm, it would not be easy to accumulate 1,000 contribution points, not to mention those young people who were only at the Form Shaping realm.
Not all young people had the help of a Void Treading elder. Although contribution points could not be traded, it could be done by a Void Treading expert after a young person accepted a mission.
This was not against the rules.
"My chance is here. Those young people should be willing to go bankrupt in order to enter the Dao Sect, right?"
Huo De felt that this was his opportunity, but when he saw the next line, he threw all the bullshit training and dungeons to the back of his mind!
A Void Treading Divine Weapon only cost 998 contribution points!
Not 9w8, not 9800, just 998!
Why would he need the entry quota?!
Only an idiot would help others complete missions!
"Wait a minute …"
Huo De suddenly realized that the rewards that could be exchanged from the 'Mission Announcement Office' were not only the entry quota?
Behind the Void Treading Divine Weapon was written 'unlimited'!
There was also the Unity Divine Weapon!
Deity Domain Divine Weapon!
There were even legendary treasures that could rapidly recover one's origin, such as the 'Miraculous Fruit'.
"Wait a minute …"
Huo De fell into deep thought again. He felt that the divine weapons, rare treasures, mystical items, puppets, spells, combat skills … all of the names on the exchange list were somewhat familiar.
"Aren't these the hottest items in the Jubao Pavilion?! No wonder there was a strange sense of familiarity! "
"Could it be …"
Not only Huo De, but many Void Treading realm and Unity realm experts also came to a realization.
Treasure Gathering Pavilion had only appeared for a few short months, but it could be seen in almost all the forces in the continent.
In just a few short months, it had squeezed out the local overlords of the same industry.
One of the most important reasons was that Treasure Gathering Pavilion's divine weapons were almost unlimited! The quality was also the highest among the same category!
However, quality alone was not enough. A dragon that crossed the river was able to suppress a local snake. Many people had guessed which peak power was standing behind the Jubao Pavilion.
"That's right. With the strength of the elders of the Big Dao Sect, it is enough to intimidate those forces with ill intentions. And in terms of open competition, Treasure Gathering Pavilion is even more overwhelming."
Some of the Void Treading Divine Weapons in the hall were originally doubtful whether the Big Dao Sect could take out so many divine weapons and treasures as rewards. But when they saw that the Big Dao Sect and Treasure Gathering Pavilion were the same family, they immediately had no more doubts.
Treasure Gathering Pavilion sold dozens of divine weapons every day and they were not out of stock!
Dong ~ Dong ~ Dong ~
The stars in the sky dimmed. Huo De was startled and quickly took out the identity card that he had obtained from the 'Registration Office'. He originally thought it was just an ordinary identity card, so he casually threw it in the corner of the storage ring. He did not expect it to be so intelligent.
It seemed to be called … called 'One Card'!
Huo De approached the stars and looked carefully. Every star was embedded in the wall. He took out his identity card and inserted it into the card slot on the star.
"Beep, Void Treading Card."
After accepting a few missions in a row, the stars immediately dimmed.
"Five missions is the limit of my current Void Treading Stage cultivation base. But if the mission completion rate is high, the limit of the number of missions I can accept can be increased …"
Huo De did not waste any more time. He turned and walked out of the hall. He stopped a shared hover car on the street and in a few minutes, he drove to the edge of the city.
It was also the operating limit of the shared hover car.
Huo De paid the Origin crystal for the ride and got off the car. He took a few steps forward and stepped out of the range of the Forbidden Space Formation.
Genesis Qi gathered around his body and in the next second, he disappeared into the horizon.
…
At the mission issuance office, many humans and aliens who had accepted the missions left one after another.
Some were here for the divine weapons, some for the quota to enter the sect.
Two hours after the mission issuance office opened, more and more Void Treading Stage experts rushed over after hearing the news. The young people who were here for the quota to enter the sect saw that there were many missions and were not in a hurry. They just chose the most suitable mission for themselves.
However, when a group of Void Treading Stage experts poured in, the stars representing the missions dimmed one by one. The young people who dreamed of becoming a sect disciple couldn't sit still.
"Big brother, I took the mission to clear the ant nest. Let's go. I can only take the next mission after I finish this one."
The young man with the ninth awakening stage urged his elder brother who was already in the Void Treading Stage.
The big brother with thick eyebrows and big eyes pondered for a while. His gaze swept across the mission stars. Finally, he took out his identity card and waved it. "Actually, I've already accepted five missions. So, I'm going to settle my own mission first."
The young man: "???"
Who was the one who vowed to help him get the quota to enter the sect?
How could a thick-browed, big-eyed man like you betray your cute little brother!
The elder brother patted his little brother on the shoulder, "My stupid little brother, see that? The Void Treading Divine Weapon is only 998, which is cheaper than your quota, so …"
The elder brother took advantage of his little brother's dazed eyes and slipped out of the mission hall.
The same thing happened to many elders in the Void Treading Stage.
Originally, most Void Treading Stage experts were very leisurely, as though they had no hope of breaking through, so they enjoyed their old age. Occasionally, they would bring along outstanding juniors as contributions to the family.
But now …
Mission contribution points could be exchanged for many high-grade cultivation resources, many of which were things that they couldn't obtain normally.
As long as they had enough high-grade cultivation resources, as well as some medicine to break through and condense the source core, it wasn't impossible to break through to the Unity realm before the end of their lifespan!
They couldn't afford the goods from the 'Jubao Pavilion', but they still had their lives. Even if they couldn't afford to spend crystals, they could still afford it!
Take a gamble, Void Treading Transformation into Unity, liver for liver, and from then on, skyrocketed.
Under such circumstances, who would care about the juniors in the family? In the end, they were just juniors who were eliminated by the Big Dao Sect. Even if they could become outer sect disciples in the future, they might not be able to achieve much.
As for them, even if there was only a 1% or 1/1000 chance of breaking through to the Unity realm, there was still a chance of becoming a Unity ancestor.
As for the Big Dao Sect, even if it was the sacred land of the human race, how many of the 800 inner sect disciples and 3000 outer sect disciples could break through to the Unity realm in the future?
Probably not many.
