"What is happening?"
"The disciple quarters have changed again."
"It must be that Sect Master did something earth-shattering once more."
Everyone was curious, but no one moved from their spot. They were all waiting for Yun Jin's instructions. From their position, they could only see a high mountain rising abruptly, and then countless houses arranged meticulously along the slopes.
The higher they looked, the fewer houses there were.
At the very top, they saw a palace.
Yun Jin glanced at the system description and offered a brief explanation.
"The disciple quarters have been completely upgraded and renovated. Now, the closer a house is to the mountain peak, the better its cultivation efficiency. The living spaces are larger, and rooms have more functions. The details… you will have to explore yourselves.
The top two floors are reserved for Elders, while the nine floors below are for disciples.
You often have internal rankings, right? The palace at the top functions as a Martial Arena. Based on your current performance in the Trial Tower, it will provide a rough ranking of strength. If someone disagrees with their ranking, they can challenge someone ranked higher. Success in these challenges will grant rewards based on the difficulty. Your position on the mountain is also determined by your ranking.
So, if you want a higher-level room, you must strive to improve your rank.
After the upgrade, 'disciple quarters' no longer seems appropriate. Now it has a new name: Dianfeng Mountain. To always charge towards the summit—this is what you must do from now on."
(Dianfeng (巅峰) means "peak" or "summit.")
Yun Jin's introduction left all the disciples stirred.
Compared to disciples from other sects, they had long lost interest. But within Wushuang Sect, their fellow brothers and sisters were all their competitors. As they looked at each other, flames of battle ignited in their eyes.
Yun Jin merely smiled. Healthy competition was something she always encouraged. A sect without competition was lifeless. What Yun Jin wanted was not a group of complacent followers.
She also took a moment to inspect the upgraded Sect Master's Residence. With the upgrade, the sect's strength contributed even more to her own. The stronger the disciples, the more energy she could draw upon. At crucial moments, she could borrow up to eighty percent of everyone's spiritual power. If she ever ventured into some outer-realm demonic territory, it might appear she was alone. In truth, Yun Jin could draw upon the boundless power of her entire sect.
The disciples' understanding of the Laws would also feed back to her completely.
The phrase "all the Dao of the Wan Dao Saint" might be exaggerated.
But if this continued, Yun Jin controlling all Law might become a reality. As long as Wushuang Sect kept growing stronger, countless geniuses would help her comprehend more Laws. In the long run, the power gained from the Sect Master's Residence might even surpass that of the Trial Tower.
Of course, the top priority this time was the Mission Hall.
Yun Jin waved her hand.
The doors of the Mission Hall opened to both sides. She turned to the Wushuang Sect disciples. "Study the changes to the disciple quarters later. Today, follow me and observe the Mission Hall first."
Everyone responded with excitement.
Yun Jin led the way inside.
The interior of the Mission Hall was far larger than it appeared from outside.
Upon entering, a giant screen came into view. On the screen, countless missions flickered continuously. Because Yun Jin had activated the small-world map, these tasks originated from every corner of the world.
Mission ranks ranged from F to SSS.
Naturally, rewards varied according to difficulty.
[F-rank task (single-player): In the Sword Sect area, a pitiful disciple secretly harbors feelings for his capable Senior Sister but does not dare confess. The Mission Hall, sensing his strong desire, issues this task.
Help the disciple deliver a love letter he wrote to his Senior Sister to complete the mission.
Reward: a tiny amount of faith power.]
[C-rank task (up to two participants): In the Spirit Beast Forest, a pitiful Bì Shuǐ Turtle suffers from childhood trauma and cannot control its innate water-controlling skill.
Help Bì Shuǐ Turtle overcome its block and master the water skill.
Reward: a tiny amount of faith power, plus one Bì Shuǐ Pearl.]
[A-rank task (three-person team): In the Boundless Sea, a Red-Plume Fish carrying a rare treasure is being chased by a group of Big-Mouth Sharks.
Rescue the Red-Plume Fish and protect her for one month.
Reward: some faith power. Choose between spiritual power or soul force. Precious material: Ocean Coral.]
[SSS-rank task (multi-player, unlimited participants): The Demon Sovereigns are plotting to attack humanity.
Lead the human forces to victory.
Rewards vary based on contribution.]
The array of missions dazzled everyone.
The disciples felt overwhelmed.
They had received sect missions before, but most were near the sect.
Now, the Mission Hall offered tasks stretching as far as the Arctic Icefields in the Boundless Sea. For instance, would they really travel to the Sword Sect area just to deliver a love letter?
The journey itself could consume countless hours.
After letting the disciples discuss, Yun Jin calmly explained,
"All tasks accepted from the Mission Hall can use the teleport function to instantly reach the target. After completion, you can click again to teleport back to Wushuang Sect. Be aware, clicking teleport again before finishing a task counts as abandoning it.
You can try accepting a task to experience it firsthand."
Yun Jin spoke casually, but the disciples' eyes widened.
Instant teleportation to the task location?
These missions spanned the entire small world. Through the Mission Hall, they could appear anywhere instantly. Not to mention the rewards. The teleportation function alone was astonishing.
Several quick disciples immediately accepted F-rank missions and vanished from the hall in an instant.
Others watched curiously.
F-rank missions were the easiest. Soon, some returned to the hall.
"Click the screen to submit your task," Yun Jin instructed.
The disciple excitedly followed the command. In his hand appeared a ten-year-old Yellow Leaf Herb—the reward for his task. Ordinary disciples would find it insignificant, but this was only an F-rank mission. The rewards for higher-level missions were truly desirable.
"The Mission Hall is brand new. When completing tasks, proceed gradually and teleport back if you encounter danger," Yun Jin advised.
The disciples responded eagerly, their excitement palpable.
