Sect Training

Back in White Jade Capital, Xiao Yun let out a long breath. He was still very unaccustomed to the situation inside Lingxiao Treasure Hall. He felt that if he sat in that position for too long, he would sooner or later become completely isolated. Besides, he was only a Human Immortal now; sitting there placed far too much pressure on him.

After letting the War Spirits move freely, Xiao Yun adjusted his hand seals and brought up the daily quest panel. He discovered that there were still many tasks to complete, so he immediately followed the quest guidance and headed first to the Arena.

In the Solo Arena, he fought fifteen consecutive matches and raised his Arena ranking into the top 500. At the same time, he received 1,200 Arena Coins from his 35 challenges this week. Combined with the Arena Coins he had obtained earlier, he now had a total of 2,400 Arena Coins.

Next, he went to the sect Barracks, made a Gold Coin donation at the Donation Divine Temple, and then headed to the Guild Trial Ground. He summoned his four strongest War Spirits and challenged Lord of the Clouds, the trial puppet he had fought before. This time, because their strength had increased tremendously, the damage they dealt to Lord of the Clouds rose directly to more than 500,000. They received 60,000 Gold Coins and 120 Honor Coins as rewards. They then continued the challenge five more times, earning a total of 300,000 Gold Coins and 600 Honor Coins.

Even so, they had only dealt a little over 3 million damage to Lord of the Clouds, not even one-tenth of its more than 30 million health.

However, he had obtained quite a few Honor Coins, which could be used to enhance the sect's skill buffs. This time, he chose to buff the support War Spirits' skills, raising all six of their skills by one level.

After challenging the trial puppet, he also adjusted the guild's sacred beast. Although it could still only deal a tiny amount of damage, it still gave quite a few rewards.

After handling the sect affairs, Xiao Yun arrived at the Trial Temple. The first place he went was the Tower of Trials. Previously, because he had not conquered enough regions, he had only reached the fifteenth floor. This time, he had to break past the fortieth floor.

Sure enough, the journey went smoothly, and he easily reached the fifty-fifth floor. He received 600,000 Gold Coins, 300,000 Spiritual Power, and 1,000 Breakthrough Stones. With these resources, Xiao Yun did not save any of them and used them all to increase Empress Nuwa's strength. Her strength rose directly to level 80, and she comprehended the Creation Blessing skill. The team's strength improved noticeably once more.

He continued climbing the tower and finally encountered some resistance upon reaching the sixtieth floor. However, Xiao Yun's team still crushed it.

After clearing the boss stage on the sixtieth floor, they passed the seventieth-floor BOSS stage as well. In the end, they stopped at the level 75 boss stage, receiving another 350,000 Gold Coins, 170,000 Spiritual Power, and more than 800 Breakthrough Stones.

Besides the regular rewards, there were also extra rewards for every ten floors cleared in the Tower of Trials: 220 Breakthrough Stones, 30,000 Gold Coins, 1 Advanced Summoning Contract, 100 Legendary War Spirit Fragments, a purple one-star Void Transformation Set, and 25 Light-Dark Attribute Legendary War Spirit Fragments.

After clearing the Tower of Trials, Xiao Yun immediately led the team to the dungeon area. At this point, the normal difficulties of the five dungeons for Spiritual Power, Gold Coins, War Spirits, magic treasures, and equipment had all been unlocked.

Naturally, Xiao Yun would not miss them. He easily cleared the normal difficulty of every dungeon and ran each one four times, gaining a total of 640,000 Gold Coins, 360,000 Spiritual Power, 24 Epic War Spirit Fragments, 32 units of Magic Treasure Spiritual Power, 8 blue two-star pieces of equipment, and 80 Awakening Evolution Points.

After finishing all the dungeon training, Xiao Yun arrived at a newly opened training area, the Remote Beast Domain. There were three challenge areas here: the Teng Snake Tribe, the Calamity Tribe, and the Qiongqi Tribe. Each tribe had 25 puppets. Up to three challenges could be attempted for free each day, with two more challenges available by spending Spiritual Power. Victory granted many rewards, mainly magic treasure fragments, Expedition Points, and Spiritual Power. There were also special rewards every five stages.

The traits of these three tribes were completely different, and they possessed entirely different abilities. Based on his team's current condition, Xiao Yun chose to challenge the Calamity Clan. This clan's main weakness was Healing Ability. Whenever they took water-element or light-element damage, they lost one layer of defense. Once all five layers of defense vanished, damage from single-target skills doubled.

In his first attempt, he dealt some damage to the Calamity, which had only 1.2 million health, just short of half its health. Xiao Yun immediately used all the rewards he had gained from climbing the tower to increase Nuwa's strength, directly breaking through her level 80 bottleneck and bringing her to the level 100 bottleneck.

When Nuwa reached level 100, Youyou suddenly reminded him:

"Young Master, you have completed the first stage of Human Immortal realm cultivation. You can first undergo a Strength Increase before attacking the Calamity Beast."

Xiao Yun thought that made sense. After giving instructions to Nuwa and the other War Spirits, he sat down cross-legged and silently recited, "Realm increase!"

The moment he gave the command, Youyou immediately submitted all the tasks required for the Human Immortal realm advancement. Xiao Yun felt a strange power appear out of thin air above him, followed by countless streams of energy pouring into his body. At the same time, innumerable insights into the Human Immortal realm flooded in, firmly raising Xiao Yun's realm and allowing him to enter the second stage of the Human Immortal realm.

At the same time, he heard Youyou's notification:

"Congratulations, Young Master. Your cultivation realm has increased. You have received 10 Advanced Summoning Contracts."

After his realm increased, Xiao Yun continued attacking the Calamity. He had thought this time he would smoothly defeat its remaining health, but he was still a little short on damage. The damage he dealt was about the same as during the first attempt, only 10,000 more. In total, just like the first time, he obtained a Favorability Gift Box, 100 Divine Ability Essence, and 25 points of Magic Treasure Spiritual Power.

With less than 50,000 health remaining, Xiao Yun easily finished it off. In addition to the other three guaranteed rewards, defeating the first-stage trial Calamity Beast puppet granted him 60 Expedition Coins, 170,000 Spiritual Power, and 15 Divine Phoenix Pearl magic treasure fragments.

After completing the first stage, there were still two challenges that required Spirit Stones. Xiao Yun used them immediately, since he could obtain some rewards no matter what. However, the second-stage Calamity Beast was far more difficult than the first stage. In the first challenge, he only dealt around that much damage, less than 17% of its total health. He would need another six challenges to defeat it.

After using both chances, he dealt around 800,000 damage in total.

Across the five challenges, he obtained five Favorability Gift Boxes, 500 Divine Ability Essence, and 125 points of Magic Treasure Spiritual Power.
