Chapter 266: Qingyun Sect Opens, Li Yin Returns Home

Today is the day the Qingyun Sect opens; the sect's various branches are unusually bustling.

The disciples preparing to leave the sect for training streamed out of the training chambers, the Time-Space Tower, and other cultivation sites.

Either they headed in groups to the Mission Hall, or they went alone toward the sect's gate.

The menial disciples' area.

"Three months have passed; the Time-Space Tower has been around for over two hundred years—time really flies, it's gone in the blink of an eye."

Li Yin, with a head of white hair, entered the menial disciples' area, sighing as he walked.

"Cultivation knows no years—this saying is truly the truth!"

"After over two hundred years of arduous cultivation, my cultivation has broken through from Foundation Establishment all the way to Transformation Spirit!"

Li Yin felt the surging power within him and said with a smile,

He inwardly exclaimed that the sect's immortal arts were indeed formidable, but his comprehension was too poor; so far he had only grasped the first layer of the technique.

Still, he felt content; having joined the sect not long ago, his whole being had undergone a complete transformation.

Afterward, Li Yin entered his room and packed his belongings.

This time he planned to return home for a while, then go back to the sect to continue cultivating.

Before leaving, he took one last look at his antiquated room; Li Yin reluctantly closed the door and turned away.

Because this round trip would consume a considerable amount of time.

By the time he returns to the sect, he estimates he will break through into the True Person Realm and enter the Outer Sect.

Just then, a solemn voice echoed from the Sect's Main Hall, resounding throughout the entire sect.

"The three-month period has arrived; today our Qingyun Immortal Sect grandly opens its gates. Qingyun disciples may choose to leave the sect for training or remain within the sect to cultivate."

"Disciples heading out for training, be careful in all matters; the sect looks forward to your growth."

"Furthermore, today we announce new disciple regulations: reaching the Saint Realm qualifies for the Outer Sect, the Great Saint Realm for the Inner Sect; core disciples and sequential disciples are to be determined, and the various sect rankings will now be set every three months."

Upon these words, the entire sect erupted in an uproar.

"It's the Sect Master!"

"We're going out for training; the Sect Master worries about our safety—I'm so moved!"

"I will obey the Sect Master's order; disciples guarantee to return safely and will strive to serve the sect in the future."

"Glory to our great Qingyun! In this life I have no regrets joining Qingyun; in the next life I will still be a Qingyun disciple!"

For a moment, whether disciples of the various branches or of the various immortal peaks, everyone's hearts were stirred, and they involuntarily shouted out their innermost feelings.

Here, within the menial disciples' area, Li Yin's steps halted, his heart filled with immense warmth.

With such a sect, let alone fighting for it—even dying ten thousand times for the sect would be no problem.

But…… reaching the Saint Realm makes one an Outer Sect disciple!

Alright! This works out fine—even if he returns to the sect, he'll still be a menial disciple.

No need to linger over his room……

Thereafter, without further thought, Li Yin shouldered his pack, left the menial disciples' area, and headed toward the Mission Hall.

He intended to see if there were any tasks within his capability that he could complete.

Along the way, he encountered many senior brothers from the Inner and Outer Sects.

Soon, Li Yin arrived before the grand Mission Hall.

At this time, many disciples had already gathered here.

"Senior Brother, where do you plan to go for training?"

"I don't know either; I'll just train in the Six Great Immortal Continents—Qinggu is already big enough."

"Alright, why don't we team up? I, Xuan'er, and the three of us will also have safety guarantees."

"Good, let's first see if there are any suitable missions."

Just then, two men and one woman approached from behind, walking and chatting.

The two men's attire was especially eye-catching, causing a stir.

"Core senior brothers!"

"That's…… Senior Brother Qin Han and Senior Brother Ning Yan!"

"Exactly! I didn't expect these two senior brothers to also be going out for training."

"Hey, is that female senior sister over there Ning Yan's dao companion?"

Hearing this, Li Yin stopped his steps and curiously looked back.

"The sect's core senior brothers?"

"Indeed, their aura is extraordinary! They are dragons and phoenixes among people!"

"No! If I want to go farther and receive the sect's nurturing, I must cultivate even harder!"

Li Yin made up his mind, was about to enter the hall, when someone tapped him on the back from behind, causing him to stop again.

Turning his head, he saw a man dressed in Inner Sect attire.

"Senior Brother, is there something you need?"

Li Yin asked, puzzled.

"Are you Junior Brother Li Yin?"

"Junior Brother! I've finally found you; let me cut to the chase—your foundation is extraordinary, your talent outstanding."

"Junior Brother, you have fate with my Blasting Heaven Sect; I've come to invite you to join my Blasting Heaven Sect."

The Inner Sect disciple behind him said.

This Junior Brother Li Yin, when he entered the sect, was personally brought in by Elder Han Yue, who noted he possessed exceptional qualities.

They had extended the invitation long ago, but unfortunately, these past few months they've been frantically cultivating and had no time.

I came to the Mission Hall just to try my luck, never expecting to actually run into him! Mainly because his head of silver-white hair is too conspicuous.

"Blasting Heaven Sect?"

"Senior Brother, you've mistaken the person, right?"

Hearing this, Li Yin grew even more confused; he had also heard of the Blasting Heaven Sect, the largest faction among the sect's disciples.

But to say he has extraordinary foundations and outstanding talent? That's pure nonsense!

"No mistake, it's you!"

"Our Blasting Heaven Sect's Senior Brother Qingyan is a core disciple of the sect; the inner and outer disciples are too many to count."

"How about it, Junior Brother Li Yin, give it some thought?"

"Join my Blasting Heaven Sect, and when you go out for training, the senior brothers will look after you; of course, not joining is fine too, since we're all Azure Cloud disciples and will help each other."

Just like that, Li Yin muddled his way into joining the Blasting Heaven Sect.

At this moment, in the Mission Hall, disciples were orderly receiving missions; although many, it was not crowded at all.

Find a medium-grade immortal vein, 500 contribution points.

Any senior sister to pair up for training? 250 contribution points.

Find an immortal iron mine for the sect, turn in 20,000 contribution points to the sect; provide accurate information, 5,000 contribution points.

On the mission board, there are missions posted by disciples as well as those posted by the sect.

The myriad of tasks left the disciples dazzled.

Meanwhile, in the Azure Cloud Immortal Palace.

Today the sect opens; most disciples should go out for training.

This is good; a sword's edge comes from sharpening, without experiencing the world's perils, how can one soar the skies?

Feng Qingyang sat in the chief seat, muttering.

Immediately he opened the system panel to check.

【Sect: Azure Cloud Sect, Rank 3 (500,000/1,000,000) Prestige: 30,000,000】

Hmm, the sect's value and prestige have increased a lot; reaching Rank 4 sect is halfway done, and prestige has doubled.

Immediately he opened the prestige store to look; 30 million prestige can already exchange for many good things.

Even a Heavenly Immortal realm maid and a Heavenly Immortal realm guard dog cost only 20 million prestige.

As he browsed, Feng Qingyang's eyes lit up.

True Immortal realm maid ~ 40 million prestige.

True Immortal realm guard dog ~ 40 million prestige.

Cough cough! Save up, save up.

There are still many main and side missions; we need to speed up progress.

Main mission: Claim supremacy over the Qinggu Heavenly Realm; upon completion, obtain reward.

Side mission: In the Three Academies Palace grand competition nine months later, Azure Cloud disciples take first place.

Side mission: Overthrow the Celestial Void Immortal Sect.

「Dong! Dong! ×9」

Just then, the Nine Cauldrons Bell on the great road behind the Azure Cloud Sect's rear mountain emitted nine deep, resonant bell tolls.

The deep, reverberating sound echoed through the clouds and spread throughout the Azure Cloud Immortal Sect.

The disciples' hearts stirred; the time had come, the Nine Cauldrons open the sect!

The disciples who had been waiting long quickly headed toward the sect gate.

Vast immortal energy gathered, myriad paths sent forth, a magnificent illusory heavenly ladder unfurled from the sect gate.

The concealed sect grand formation was shut, and the sect's magnificent gate automatically opened.

In the Azure Cloud Immortal Palace, Feng Qingyang also exited the system interface and looked over with his divine sense.

Azure Cloud Sect opens!

Our sect has one wish: may all of our Azure Cloud people be like dragons!
