Chapter 658: The Mission Hall of the Immortal Cloud Sect

"Hmm?"

"Ah..."

"Oh!"

The disciple in charge of the assessment was stunned for quite a while before reacting.

He even suspected the spirit puppet had malfunctioned, so he specifically stepped forward to inspect it, only to find the formation branded inside the spirit puppet was perfectly fine; it was simply that it had no power to resist in front of Ye Lin.

The many disciples who had been watching were also dumbfounded. A handyman disciple at the Great Perfection of Profound Penetration had just twisted off the head of one at the Earth Fiend mid-stage?

Holy crap, how could such a fierce person end up as a handyman disciple? You call this a handyman?

"How did you do that?" the assessment disciple couldn't help but ask.

"Just... reached out and twisted it off," Ye Lin scratched his head.

The assessment disciple's mouth twitched slightly, then he issued Ye Lin an outer sect disciple identity token.

"Since you've passed the assessment, you can now choose any main peak to join and enter to cultivate."

No sooner had he finished speaking than disciples from the various nearby main peaks ran over to win Ye Lin over, all realizing just how terrifying this guy was.

Being able to easily twist off the head of an Earth Fiend mid-stage cultivator while at the Great Perfection of Profound Penetration—this combat power could be called extremely terrifying.

"This junior brother, would you like to join our Spirit Peak? Our Spirit Peak specializes in talisman cultivation!"

"The Dao of talisman cultivation is profound and deep; using talismans as a medium to communicate with heaven and earth and command the forces of nature. Its talismans dance like dragons and snakes, containing endless wisdom and power; every stroke and line reveals unique ingenuity. A talisman cultivator's heart is still as water, their intent moves like the wind, using talismans as swords to slay demons and eliminate devils, protecting the common people. This path cultivates not just techniques, but the heart; it is truly the Great Dao in its simplicity, worthy of admiration!"

"Cut the crap, you talisman cultivators are just selling fakes, spending all day waving around a broken brush! Junior brother, you should join our Martial Peak and become a glorious sword cultivator!"

"Cultivating the gentleman's sword of vast, upright Qi, all things are swords; one sword opens the Heavenly Gate, integrating offense and defense, punishing evil and promoting good, flying on a sword; the chest is naturally straight as a sword, never lowering one's head to look at others' expressions; a sword cultivator's rage leaves corpses for ten thousand miles!"

"A bunch of idiots who raise swords like wives have the nerve to speak? Better come to our Heart Peak and be a Dharma cultivator!"

"Fingertips flow with the laws of heaven and earth, immortal power turns into rainbows to pierce the nine heavens; cultivators use their divine souls as a guide to temper the Great Dao, one thought topples mountains and rivers, all laws return to the source to reveal mysteries, starlight in the palm burns the heavens and earth, green lotuses underfoot form a cave-heaven! Controlling wind and wielding thunder, shaking the universe!"

"You fragile types who die at a touch dare to speak? Junior brother Ye Lin is clearly best suited for our Strength Peak!"

"We body cultivators rely on no external objects, regenerating from a drop of blood, our physical bodies becoming holy, fists shattering the void, immune to all laws, a universe within the body, overpowering all Daos, roaming the long river of time with our own selves; heaven and earth may rot, but I do not, all living things may perish, but I do not."

"You body cultivators have practiced until only muscles are left in your brains, right? Junior brother, you should come and become a glorious Gu cultivator. I don't think I need to explain how awesome Gu cultivation is!"

To win over Ye Lin, the disciples of the several main peaks argued until their faces were red, exposing each other's secrets.

Ye Lin was silent, because he discovered that he seemed to know a little bit about everything these senior brothers and sisters were talking about.

In the end, he chose to join the Artifact Peak, because the Artifact Peak had more various treasures.

After successfully becoming an outer sect disciple, Ye Lin went non-stop to the Immortal Cloud Sect's mission hall.

Although learning things at the nursing home for the past two years and more had been fulfilling, it had also nearly driven him crazy.

It was like being locked in a room without a phone or computer, but being given ten thousand in cash every day, for two and a half years.

After two and a half years, you finally come out of that room with millions in cash on you—aren't you excited?

There were many people in the mission hall, some coming to turn in missions, others coming to accept them.

Unlike brats like Ye Lin who entered the sect with a pile of Immortal Source Stones and had the peak master pull strings for them, the fastest way for ordinary disciples to obtain cultivation resources was to come to the mission hall to accept missions.

The mission hall was mainly divided into two areas: one was the intelligence area, and the other was the mission area.

Ye Lin first looked toward the intelligence area.

Sect Bulletin:

This month, disciples from our sect's Pill Peak successfully destroyed a fake medicine den. This criminal group used special methods to add devil chili powder into pills to create fake "Joyous Union Pills," causing people to experience body heat and facial flushing after taking them.

Recently, there have been reports that a certain Great Emperor is undergoing reincarnation, and some unscrupulous fellow Daoists are using the Great Emperor's name to carry out scams, such as "Send me fifty Immortal Source Stones to help the Great Emperor return to his position; once I recover my Great Emperor cultivation, I will grant you supreme cultivation." Many disciples within the Immortal Cloud Sect have already been deceived; please, disciples going out for training, be on high alert!

Attention to all male disciples of the Immortal Cloud Sect: if any female cultivator from the Joyous Union Sect asks you for dual cultivation, do not easily agree. Beware that she may be cultivating the Heartless Dao and might eventually kill you to prove her Dao. Several male disciples have already died unnatural deaths; the nature of this is extremely vile, and our sect has already opened an investigation!

"This Longevity Continent is chaotic enough..."

Ye Lin clicked his tongue in wonder, then he looked toward the mission area.

The mission area was much more normal than the intelligence area, and the missions on it even thoughtfully indicated the cultivation realm suitable for accepting them.

Ye Lin couldn't hold it together when he saw the first mission, because this mission actually had something to do with him!

【A large number of shapeshifted demonic beasts have recently appeared in Lingquan County of the Nuhai Dynasty. The disciples sent by the sect to investigate returned all stammering and refusing to explain the situation. We hope that fellow disciples with firm Dao hearts and powerful strength will go to ascertain the truth and prevent the demonic beasts from harming people.】

Seeing this mission, Ye Lin felt a bit gratified.

It seems that during the days he was away, the Yihong Zoo was flourishing under the management of Liu Ruyan and the others.

Then Ye Lin continued to look down, wanting to find a mission suitable for himself.

【An unscrupulous pill cultivator sold me laxatives as Inedia Pills. That pill cultivator was masked, and I couldn't see their appearance. I am now offering a reward of three hundred high-grade Immortal Source Stones; I hope someone can help provide clues. As long as I can catch that brat, there will be a generous reward!】

【My great-grandmother was refined into a corpse puppet by the scum of the Corpse Refining Sect. I am now offering three thousand high-grade spirit stones and sincerely invite three fellow disciples above the Heaven Gang realm to help me retrieve my great-grandmother!】

【In the Great Yan Dynasty, an evil cultivator is slaughtering mortals to refine the forbidden artifact, the Ten Thousand Soul Banner. Their cultivation is at the mid-stage of the Heaven Gang realm. Please have three or more disciples above the Five Elements realm go together to slay them. Note: The evil cultivator's methods are strange and they can easily challenge those of higher ranks; do not underestimate the enemy!】

When he saw this mission, Ye Lin's gaze couldn't move away.

Evil cultivators are good; an evil cultivator refining a Ten Thousand Soul Banner must be killed!

From the other party, he should also be able to get the method for refining a Ten Thousand Soul Banner.

Before the Human Emperor Flag was repaired, he would just use the Ten Thousand Soul Banner as a substitute. That way, the souls of the deceased wouldn't be wasted, and once the Human Emperor Flag was repaired, he could just transfer the soul bodies over—wouldn't that be wonderful?

Previously, he had also indirectly inquired from the Artifact Peak Master, Mu Yuan, about how to refine a Ten Thousand Soul Banner, but Mu Yuan said that such evil, heterodox paths were not worth learning, so Ye Lin was too embarrassed to ask further.

He couldn't exactly tell Mu Yuan that he wanted to be an evil, heterodox cultivator, could he?
