Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

Lin Mao continued, ”Indeed, the tasks for disciples are divided into four levels: A, B, C, and D, and your disciple status is also categorized into four levels: A, B, C, and D. Every month, you must complete at least one task of your corresponding level.

There’s a reward if you complete them, but if you can’t, your contribution points to the sect will be deducted. If the points go negative, you’ll be sent back to the Laborer Court.”

Listening to Lin Mao’s words, Ling Xiao suddenly recalled his earlier life at the Moon Hua Sect.

The tasks he did then were very similar to now, except back then, the steward’s cultivation level was only at the Transcendent Realm, whereas now it’s at the Cave Heaven Realm and Yin-Yang Realm.

The enemies faced would be much stronger, and the various challenges would be more troublesome.

Once Lin Mao finished speaking, seeing that Ling Xiao, Chen He, and Lin Yang showed no signs of backing out, he then rose and said, ”Let’s go, you three follow me.”

He knew young people always have a drive and arrogance, probably not that easily discouraged.

So let these three try, and see how hard it is to attain the Lower Eight Immortals disciple status.

He led the three deeper into the Eight Immortals Mountain Range, arriving at another courtyard.

”This is the place where laborer disciples are promoted to Lower Eight Immortals disciples. Originally, a month later, you could compete against other laborer disciples, and if selected by the Mountain Master of the Lower Eight Immortals, you could join.

But now it’s a special situation; that kind of competition is no longer held.

The entry conditions have become extremely simple.

The red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple, and black mountains will each send a martial artist here to guard.

If you can defeat them, you can join the respective mountains.”

Lin Mao reminded them, ”Among the eight mountain ranges of red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple, and black, the weakest is the Black Immortal Mountain because it once had a traitor, leading to a decline in talent.

Nowadays, it can essentially be considered deserted; getting into this mountain is the easiest, but future development might be unfavorable.

The red, orange, and yellow mountains are the strongest.

The green, cyan, blue, and purple are equally matched.

As for who to challenge, decide for yourselves.”

Saying this, Lin Mao had a subtle smile, as if his words held another meaning.

When the three truly saw who they needed to challenge within the eight mountains, they understood what Lin Mao meant.

The strongest red, orange, and yellow mountain ranges had challengers whose cultivation level was Yin-Yang Realm, First Layer Hell, intermediate stage martial artists.

The next four mountain ranges had slightly weaker challengers with cultivation at Yin-Yang Realm, First Layer Hell, early stage martial artists.

Then came the Black Immortal Mountain, where the challenger had a half-step Yin-Yang Realm, Ten Layer Power cultivation level.

It’s the easiest mountain range to enter, but not actually that easy.

”Doesn’t this mean we can only enter the Black Immortal Mountain?”

Lin Yang frowned and said, ”I’m giving up.”

”It’s okay to give up; actually, entering a month later would be easier.”

Lin Mao said with a smile.

”Other than low numbers, does the Black Immortal Mountain have other disadvantages?”

Ling Xiao suddenly asked.

”Well, indeed, the Black Immortal Mountain’s disadvantage is mainly the number of people, leading to falling behind in many sect trials, resulting in fewer rewards. Additionally, finding suitable companions for tasks is challenging.

After all, many tasks can’t be completed alone.”

Lin Mao explained, ”As for other issues, none really, though I’ve heard the Mountain Master of the Black Immortal Mountain has a rather odd temperament.”

”If that’s the case, then I’ll choose the Black Immortal Mountain.”

Ling Xiao joined the Eight Immortals Mountain primarily to obtain its cultivation resources and environment.

The Black Immortal Mountain might be weak in momentum, but in reality, its conditions aren’t lacking; many martial artists simply follow the crowd.

He doesn’t care, what’s wrong with fewer people? He’s here to cultivate, not make friends.

”He’s chosen the Black Immortal Mountain, I’ll choose the Black Immortal Mountain too.”

Chen He said.

”Alright, Lin Yang, you head back then, you two come with me.”

Lin Mao led Ling Xiao and Chen He to the martial artist guarding the Black Immortal Mountain.

It turned out to be a girl, dressed in black, appearing very striking.

At the Eight Immortals Mountain, once you become an official disciple, even the color of clothing has strict regulations; disciples of the Black Immortal Mountain can only wear black.

At least within the sect, it is this way, once outside, it’s more casual.

”Hello, I’m Feng Ru.”

”Feng Ru?”

Ling Xiao paused, suddenly recalling the task entrusted to him by the nameless young man during the assessment earlier.

Wasn’t the nameless young man’s sister named Feng Ru? Moreover, the likeness from the portrait resembles this girl about seventy to eighty percent.

It probably wasn’t wrong.

”What’s up?”

Feng Ru asked with a smile, this girl had a neighborly charm, making people feel close.

Though not stunningly beautiful, she was just very pleasant.

”Nothing.”

Ling Xiao shook his head, there was no need to mention it. He’d just take care of Feng Ru during his time at Eight Immortals Mountain.

”Alright, if there’s nothing else, then you can each come and attack me, as long as you can touch me, you’ve passed the assessment.”

Feng Ru said with a laugh.

”No way, Junior Sister Feng, I recall that one has to defeat you, when did the Black Immortal Mountain’s assessment become so simple?”

Lin Mao said with a bitter smile.

”There’s no other way, Senior Brother Lin, right now the Black Immortal Mountain only has four disciples altogether. If we include these two, it’ll make six in total.

Other mountains have at least two thousand people at their lowest, so I have to relax the assessment conditions.”

Feng Ru shook her head, sighed, and said, ”But speaking of it, didn’t Senior Brother Lin know I’m best at body movement technique? If they can touch me, they could defeat me, it’s the most direct and straightforward method.”

”That’s true. You two can start then.”

Lin Mao stood to the side and didn’t leave.

Since if these two can’t pass the assessment, they would have to follow him back.

”I’ll go first!”

Chen He volunteered to go up first.

Once the battle began, Ling Xiao realized that the assessment wasn’t simple.

At least for someone like Chen He, whose cultivation level was only the Ten Layer Power, it wasn’t simple.

Feng Ru’s body movement technique was indeed incredible; once initiated, her body turned into dozens of residual shadows, making it impossible to determine which was her true form and thus unclear which one to touch.

Chen He, exhausted at the end, almost gave up, but just then, a leaf flew past behind him, landing on one of the residual shadows.

Chen He was overjoyed, feigned attacking other shadows, but suddenly lunged at the one with the leaf, passing the assessment smoothly.

”Thank you.”

When Chen He came down, he lowered his voice to say two words to Ling Xiao.

Indeed, the leaf naturally came from Ling Xiao.

”You don’t need to participate in the assessment, come with me directly.”

Feng Ru paused for a moment, then suddenly said. Clearly, she also realized the leaf originated from Ling Xiao.

For Ling Xiao to identify her true form meant he had unraveled her greatest advantage, no need for further confrontation this time.
