"Please remember this: the Sect Tokens not only prove your identities, but can also store sect contribution points!"
"Contribution points can be exchanged for all kinds of sect cultivation techniques, combat skills, pills, and more."
"As for contribution points, you can earn them from the sect's mission board. Once you have enough contribution points, you may also freely post missions!"
"However, since Ye Emperor Hall has only just entered the world, there are not many missions available yet."
"So for now, your main task is to cultivate diligently."
"Now, a copy of the Sect Rules will be distributed to everyone. You must memorize them and never violate them, or severe punishment will follow."
After ten days of discussion and revision, the Sect Rules had finally been completed.
When they opened the rules, the very first one made the disciples present boil with excitement!
Those who offend Ye Emperor Hall shall be executed, no matter how far away they are!
Second: Betrayal of the sect is forbidden. Violators shall be executed!
Third: Fellow disciples must not slaughter one another. Violators shall be executed!
Fourth: Sect techniques must not be passed on to outsiders. Violators and all those implicated shall be executed!
Fifth: Harming the people of the world is forbidden. Violators shall be pursued by the Law Enforcement Hall of Ye Emperor Hall to the ends of heaven and earth, and hunted for the rest of their lives!
The five great Sect Rules had been inscribed upon the document by Ye Changge with his profound Dou Qi cultivation.
"Alright, the Sect Rules and Sect Tokens have all been handed out to you!"
"Now, I will impart the foundational cultivation technique and combat skill of Ye Emperor Hall to you disciples."
"Now, all of you, open your divine senses."
Hearing the elder's words, everyone obediently did as they were told.
Only Bi Bidong and Tang San hesitated instinctively for a second before opening their divine senses as well.
With a sweep of Ye Bai's sleeve, the Ye Emperor Scripture and Ye Emperor Thunderclap Palm turned into balls of light and flew into everyone's sea of consciousness.
"What the hell do you mean, these are foundational techniques and combat skills?!"
"This is way too lavish! I love it!"
Once the techniques and combat skills appeared in their minds, they only needed to sense them briefly to discover that they were far stronger than the techniques and combat skills they had cultivated before!
It could be said that they were tens of thousands of times more powerful than anything they had cultivated previously.
They were simply worlds apart!
An elder's words really could not be trusted so easily!
"Easy, simple, Heavenly Stairway." "Not difficult, not bad, just a test." "Foundational cultivation technique, foundational combat skill."
One scene after another, one statement after another from the sect elders resurfaced in their minds.
They wanted to say that if these counted as foundational cultivation techniques, then the stuff they had cultivated before was nothing but crap!
Being unable to recognize such treasures, they did not even know how to describe them.
"E-Elder, what grade are these cultivation techniques and combat skills?"
"I've never even seen anything like them... Why are they so powerful?!"
There was no need to cultivate them. They could feel it just by sensing them.
"These are the exclusive cultivation technique and combat skill of Ye Emperor Hall."
"They are naturally Emperor-tier!"
"Of course, with your current strength, you can at most use techniques from Profound-tier High-grade to around Earth-tier Low-grade, correct?"
"You must remember this: those who cultivate the exclusive techniques and combat skills of Ye Emperor Hall shall forge a mighty reputation for all ages!"
Those who achieved success in cultivation would not fall into reincarnation, would transcend the mortal world, and would spread their mighty names far and wide, revered for all ages.
Another ten days passed after the Sect Recruitment.
Everything in Ye Emperor Hall was running in an orderly fashion.
The disciples were all cultivating desperately, hoping to charge into the top ten after the rankings were finalized in two months so they could advance further within the sect.
When Ye Changge noticed this, he could only exclaim that the competitive atmosphere within his sect was far too intense!
Unlike him, who could only fish and stroll around with birds...
Cultivate...?
Cultivate my ass!
Even if I die of laziness, even if I jump off Ye Emperor Hall, I will never cultivate!
"Come on, hurry up."
"The elders have permitted us to enter the Trial Tower for training."
"Really?!"
"You go ahead. I'll call Junior Brother Kininase."
At the foot of the Disciple Trial Tower, quite a few disciples had already gathered.
The hundred-story Trial Tower soared straight into the sky.
Standing before it, they could only feel an immense pressure rushing toward them.
"Great! We can finally enter the Trial Tower to cultivate!"
After cultivating nonstop day and night for more than ten days, they could finally test their results.
On their first day here, they had been drawn to this iconic sect building. They had all curiously guessed what this towering structure was for.
Later, after the elders explained it to them,
they learned that this tower was specially meant for disciples to undergo trials, and that they would not truly die within it.
So this was an excellent place to improve their strength!
Only through life-and-death battles could one endlessly improve their strength and combat experience.
However, the elders had told them at the time that they could not yet use the tower. They first had to become familiar with their cultivation techniques and combat skills in order to put them into practice more effectively.
After ten days of arduous cultivation, they could finally enter and give it a try.
Everyone became impatient with anticipation.
They just did not know which brave soul would enter first to scout things out.
With someone else's first-hand experience, they would be able to perform better.
They just did not know whether they should enter through the back door or the front door.
"I'll go scout it out for everyone first!"
A man dressed in outer sect robes stepped forward. After shouting those words, he walked into the Trial Tower.
"It's Senior Brother Kininase!"
"Good luck, Senior Brother!"
The two disciples who had come with him saw their senior brother rush in first and immediately cheered him on.
Two and a half minutes later, Kininase was teleported back down in a sorry state.
His name also appeared on the ranking board outside the Trial Tower.
Trial Rankings, First Place: Kininase, cleared ten floors.
This was his moment in the spotlight!
He was so excited he could practically jump up. Although he had only cleared ten floors, he was first!
Though he knew he would soon be knocked off the rankings, so what?
He had still been first before. He would have something to brag about when he went out!
"How was it inside, Senior Brother Kininase?"
The disciples gathered around and asked.
"Hehe, it's incredibly thrilling in there!"
"Those without strong willpower might come right back out after one shudder."
Kininase was still keeping the other senior and junior disciples in suspense.
After he spoke, the disciples began entering one after another.
Not long after.
"Damn!"
"It really is just like Senior Brother Kininase said! If your willpower isn't strong enough, you'll come right out after one shudder!"
"I only messed around once?"
"And I didn't even pass the second stage?"
A disciple who had been teleported out complained.
"Haha, that's what makes it challenging."
"If you could clear it casually, then what kind of trial would that be?"
"Look!"
"Senior Sister Bi Bidong and Senior Brother Tang San are here."
Although the outer sect rankings had not yet been opened, everyone recognized the status of these two within the outer sect.
One was a Dou Zong, while the other possessed the talent of a Dou Zun. Were they joking?
Bi Bidong and Tang San walked over.
Neither of them lingered for long before entering the Trial Tower directly.
On the first floor of the Trial Tower, another version of herself appeared before Bi Bidong's eyes.
Another illusion.
Bi Bidong thought to herself, then kicked the other version of herself to death with one leg!
Tang San on the other side was no slower.
The two progressed at incredible speed, charging all the way to the eighteenth floor in one go.
They basically defeated every enemy with a single punch.
Outside the tower, as the light of the eighteenth floor lit up, all the disciples were shocked by the two's rapid progress through the stages.
