Chapter 423

"Yes, I am the disciple of my master, named 'Brother Brother Heilong'!"

Fang Xing bowed.

The giant ape spoke, its voice like thunder: "My Boundless Mountain has always been all-encompassing... wanting to join is very simple; being able to enter the 'Great Void Illusory Realm' means you have already joined, and you can go to the 'Ten Thousand Stars Hall' to accept missions and earn merit points. Merit points of this mountain can be exchanged for Primordial Spirit Pills, various inheritances, and even personal guidance from powerful figures."

'Sounds like a large mission platform, seems not bad?'

Fang Xing's heart moved, feeling that even if he were not a core member, having this platform would be very beneficial for his growth.

"But you are Azure Flower's disciple, so naturally you are different from those ordinary members!"

The Hun Tian Great Sage, whose hair seemed to be burning, continued: "Your 'Boundless Token' is specially made; entering makes you a 'formal member,' allowing you to accept more missions and obtain more detailed information... but formal members are still not 'core members' of my 'Boundless Mountain'... 'Core members,' even if they do not do missions, will be cultivated by my Boundless Mountain, and every quota is very precious. Do you understand?"

"Brother Brother Heilong understands."

Fang Xing naturally knew that core members of any major power are reserve Celestial Immortals and Heavenly Yao. Besides having extraordinary talent and consuming terrifying resources, the most important thing is actually "loyalty"!

If they are not their own people cultivated from childhood, and they are cultivated to the Celestial Immortal or Heavenly Yao level, the loss would be even greater if they rebel in the future!

Someone like him without background or foundation... even if he went to the Azure Emperor Palace, it would be unlikely for him to become a Yao prince.

Talent is something that, as long as the base is large enough, one can always select geniuses.

Unless... it is the kind that is so stunning that even Celestial Immortals and Heavenly Yao would be dumbfounded.

For example, Fang Xing's talent in the Time Dao principle is currently only known to the Boundless Spirit Snake Lady.

"According to the rules of 'Boundless Mountain,' all members can go to challenge the 'Star Tower'... if one can climb to the seventh floor, one can directly become a 'core member'!"

The Hun Tian Great Sage smiled: "When challenging the 'Star Tower,' your mana and physique will be restricted to the ninth level of the Mortal Realm, and you cannot carry any treasures. What you can rely on is only your own law comprehension, secret techniques, moves... and most importantly, combat experience and talent! Generally speaking, those who can pass the seventh floor of the 'Star Tower' must have law comprehension reaching at least the fourth level!"

The fourth level of law comprehension is the "Master level" proficiency of law comprehension, which can be condensed into a "Law Body" using the power of rules.

The previous Yao prince Fu Shan was at this realm!

"Does the Great Sage mean for me to go and challenge the 'Star Tower'?"

Fang Xing's heart moved.

Although none of his law comprehensions have reached the "Master level" proficiency yet, his Space and Time laws are quite powerful.

If he coordinates them and uses the "Coiled Snake secret technique," I am afraid that ordinary Yao princes might not be his match.

To join a power and become a core disciple, this little virtual test is already very simple.

"Hehe... if a Yao recommended by me, Hun Tian Great Sage, still needs to challenge the 'Star Tower,' it would be a joke! I still have one core quota in my hand, so I will give it directly to you."

The giant ape waved its hand gently, and a stream of light entered Fang Xing's body.

After accepting the mission, Song Zhong held his spear and hung his saber, carrying a black dragon on his shoulder, and flew out of the Seven Kill Demon Palace.

"This... thank you, Great Sage."

He thanked him hurriedly, not expecting that even an assessment was not needed.

"You go..."

Above the chaotic ocean, the Hun Tian Great Sage waved his hand.

Fang Xing could not help himself and walked out of the palace.

After his figure disappeared, the giant ape that had guided him earlier appeared above the chaotic sea: "Master... although you can directly recommend core members, doing so without assessment easily invites exclusion from other formal and core members... is this not very good for Brother Brother Heilong? Should I go and remind it?"

"No need..."

The Hun Tian Great Sage sat cross-legged, his voice cold: "Azure Flower is Azure Flower, and her disciple is just a disciple... I owe Azure Flower a small favor, and now giving him a core member quota is considered settling it... After becoming a Heavenly Yao, if one wants to merge with the Dao, it is best to cut off all karma on one's body, otherwise, when you merge with the Dao, these will only become obstacles..."

"So that's how it is."

The giant ape nodded, knowing that his master did not value that black dragon much.

After all, Lady Azure Flower has already fallen for countless years. After a powerful figure falls, although there is a glimmer of hope for resurrection, it is too slim.

A dead powerful figure is, after all, not as good as a living one.

If he let the other party start as a formal member and cultivate slowly, that would be truly caring about Brother Brother Heilong.

Now it is a direct promotion, giving everything that should be given, cutting off karma, so there is no need to pay too much attention in the future.

"Azure Flower's karma is very heavy, and because she cultivated the Life Dao principle, she was too kind and compassionate, with too many lines of karma on her body, eventually sinking... Her lesson, if you ascend to Heavenly Yao in the future, you must take it as a warning."

The Hun Tian Great Sage began to educate his disciple: "The 'Hun Tian Forty-Nine Sticks' I passed to you before, to what extent have you comprehended it now?"

"Disciple is dull, in the seventeenth stick, there are still parts of the Dao principles not yet comprehended..."

Mentioning this, the giant ape immediately threw Brother Brother Heilong to the back of its mind and began to ask for advice sincerely.

"Hmm... I will only demonstrate it once."

The Hun Tian Great Sage stood up immediately, and the entire chaotic ocean stirred up monstrous waves.

"Virtue not matching position will surely lead to disaster!"

After walking out of the palace, Fang Xing looked at the benefits and treatment of core members and found them to be quite good.

Not only are there special resources supplied every year, but one can also have priority in choosing missions with very generous rewards.

Even some special mission locations contain supreme opportunities, which are simply not open to formal and ordinary members.

"Becoming a core member, there is a quota of ten thousand merit points every year, which can be exchanged for many rare items..."

Fang Xing opened the exchange list slightly and took a few glances, finding that an ordinary Primordial Spirit treasure only costs about one hundred merit points.

"I don't need Primordial Spirit Pills, but Primordial Spirit Liquid is very good..."

This Primordial Spirit Liquid is a strange liquid that must be refined by a Celestial Immortal Realm powerful figure using Primordial Stones as the main material; it can rapidly strengthen the Primordial Spirit and is of great benefit to the cultivation of the Primordial Spirit Realm.

If there is enough "Primordial Spirit Liquid," one can rapidly cultivate to the ninth level of the Primordial Spirit Realm.

"Such great benefits, given to me directly, are they trying to stuff me to death?" Fang Xing was speechless: "It seems that Great Sage does not necessarily care much about me... after all, the friendship has passed for so long."

"But for me, I can hold onto it!"

He immediately flew to the cave dwelling assigned to his core member status, preparing to take a good look at the exchange list and exchange for items he urgently needed.

Although the Hun Tian Great Sage does not care much about him, objectively speaking, the other party has already done quite well.

No one is born to be good to you, except your parents.

Some powerful figures might not even value their own direct disciples very much.

In one part of Boundless Mountain, there are towering peaks, and every core member has a mountain peak as their territory.

When Fang Xing flew over, another peak rose abruptly; it was his "Brother Brother Heilong Shanfeng"!

"Hmm? Boundless Mountain has another true disciple?"

"Congratulations to this brother."

"Let's drink together another day."

From the adjacent mountain peaks, several congratulatory voices came, including both humans and Yao.

Suddenly, another surprised voice sounded: "I checked the Star Tower ranking, there is no record of a newcomer on the seventh floor recently..."

"So it was directly recommended by a powerful figure? I am afraid that person must have some extraordinary qualities..."

Fang Xing turned a deaf ear to these and returned to Brother Brother Heilong Shanfeng to go into seclusion.

On top of a flame mountain peak.

Several human cultivators were drinking and eating meat.

In this Great Void Illusory Realm, all delicacies of the outside world can be simulated, and many enjoyments are difficult for even Celestial Immortal and Heavenly Yao powerful figures to eat often.

"I checked, the newcomer is named 'Brother Brother Heilong,' and was directly recommended by the Hun Tian Great Sage."

A green-skirted woman with a charming smile sipped a cup of wine.

"Hun Tian Great Sage, so that is from the Yao side?"

A young man wearing a red robe with long, fiery red hair snorted coldly.

Although Boundless Mountain claims to be all-encompassing, there are definitely factions within the mountain, especially the two major camps of humans and Yao, whose relationship is usually not good.

"Why? Brother Huo Lingzi, what are you planning to do?"

A green-robed, sword-carrying Daoist asked with a smile.

"Naturally, it is to weigh the worth of that Brother Brother Heilong..." Huo Lingzi, with his fiery red hair, bit fiercely into the huge meat stick in his hand: "Direct recommendation by the Great Sage, it could be a peerless genius, or it could just be a connection hire... don't forget that 'Kun Yuanzi,' who also became a core member directly, but died in the Peach Valley Secret Realm, losing face for our Boundless Mountain!"

Mentioning this, the sword-carrying Daoist and the green-skirted woman also twitched their faces.

"So, isn't it normal for me to go and weigh Brother Brother Heilong's worth?"

Huo Lingzi smiled slightly: "Now Brother Brother Heilong's strength is unknown, and those Yao core members might not necessarily be very close to it..."

The logic is very simple; everyone walked through the Star Tower and fought their way up step by step, all having the arrogance of geniuses.

If Brother Brother Heilong's strength is insufficient, then it is not worthy of being with them; this is the consensus of human and Yao core members.

Even among the Yao, this concept is even more deeply rooted!

"I have already sent a challenge letter..."

Huo Lingzi said: "Even if I lose, I will just treat it as making a friend..."

It is just a pity that one day passed, two days passed...

Fang Xing did not respond at all.

Instead, the news of Huo Lingzi's challenge spread, allowing many core members to watch the fun.

"This Brother Brother Heilong..."

Huo Lingzi could not help but feel a bit annoyed.

Inside Brother Brother Heilong Shanfeng.

Fang Xing was too lazy to pay attention to the information from some random person, instead carefully looking at the rules of Boundless Mountain.

When he cannot overturn the entire chessboard, but is instead a beneficiary of the rules, he is the most stubborn conservative.

"Hmm... Boundless Mountain has many inheritances, I happen to choose one related to time to study alongside the 'Three Volumes of Azure Flowers'... after all, the 'Azure Flower Volumes' mainly talk about the Life Dao principle, and besides the 'Candle Dragon Primordial Spirit Method,' there is not much involvement with the Time Dao principle..."

"Secret realms, treasures..."

"Famous teachers... tsk tsk, the ninth level of the Primordial Spirit Realm is so expensive, and Primordial Spirit Hegemons, Celestial Immortals, and Heavenly Yao are even more terrifying... these merit points are not enough... can't afford it..."

"As for missions, no need to rush... let's filter them carefully first."

"Hmm? Core members are not immutable, it is still possible to fall? Every ten years there is a core disciple ranking, and the bottom three will be eliminated to become formal members, and even forbidden from challenging the Star Tower for a hundred years, unable to be promoted to core members..."

"At the same time, if the age exceeds five hundred years, one will also lose the qualification of a core member..."

Update later.
