Chapter 212: Becoming The Acting Sect Master, Gaining A Class 9 Lackey
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Lin Ye touched the token.
“You have obtained the personal disciple token of the Mechanical Beast Sect!”
100xReward.
1. 100 personal disciple tokens
2. An acting Sect Master’s Token
3. Random Rank Token
“Acting Sect Master’s Token?!!”
Lin Ye narrowed his eyes. This name sounded way more awesome than just being a personal disciple.
He just did not know what authority this position had. This lousy system did not even give him an explanation. There was no way he could compare the first two options.
If he asked Little White, he felt that he would be exposed.
However, it was still difficult to explain how he got his hands on the acting Sect Master’s token…
Use the Inheritance Pagoda as an excuse?
Mm, this seems possible!
Lin Ye’s eyes lit up. He narrowed his eyes at Little White and asked, “Little White, what is the acting Sect Master’s token?”
“Acting Sect Master?”
Little White shook its head and laughed. “Rascal, although I’ve acknowledged you, I don’t dare to give you this thing without permission. Half a year later, after you defeat all the personal disciples, you can directly advance to become the Sect Master. Why would you still need to be the acting Sect Master?”
“No, I’m just curious. Tell me about it. If I become the acting Sect Master, what benefits and authority would I get?” Lin Ye smiled.
“You’re a strange kid.”
Little White looked at him in confusion. On account of him being a peerless genius, it explained, “As the name suggests, the acting Sect Master has partial authority when the Sect Master is not around. As long as he doesn’t violate the sect rules, his authority is the highest in the sect.”
“An identity token of any level needs to be approved by the acting Sect Master before being given out.”
“As for the benefits, he can obtain 1 top-grade spirit stone a day. There are no restrictions on him within the Level 10 of the Technique Pavilion, but he will only be allowed to browse through it and is not allowed to take it away. Also, he will need to control all the mechanical beasts in the Beast Pagoda and check all the treasures within the Treasure Pavilion… Lastly, and most importantly.”
“As long as there are enough spirit stones, the teleportation passageway to the ruin can be opened at any time.”
“In other words, even if I stand in the territory, I can enter the ruin at any time?” Lin Ye’s heart thumped.
The Beast Pagoda in the ruin could isolate the law of the outside world and allow one to break through to Class 5 in advance. This way, the next twenty hours would be enough for him to create a group of Class 5 core members.
Damn it, just the thought of it was exciting.
In the first zombie wave, all the factions were stuck below Level 5. Only he and his people could break through in advance.
At that time, he would truly be invincible.
“In theory, that’s the case, but there’s a condition.” Little White flicked its finger and a mystic light mirror appeared.
The image reflected in the mirror was the ten thousand wooden stakes before everyone arrived.
It pointed at the tree stump and said, “The prerequisite is that you have to move all these 10,000 Wood Dragon Stakes back. The order cannot be messed up at all. The 10,000 Wood Dragon Stakes are the spatial points used by the ruin to transport one here.”
“Only by bringing the complete spatial passageway entrance can you enter from anywhere anytime.”
“This is easy to handle. After we get out, I’ll get someone to move it.” Lin Ye was overjoyed.
Although there were a lot of them, his territory did not lack people the most. Once the large group of people arrived, everything was basically done.
“What’s the meaning of this? Are you crazy? I only gave you a personal disciple token,” Little White said unhappily.
“That might not be true.”
Lin Ye shook his finger, a mysterious smile on his face. At the same time, he muttered in his heart, “I choose option 2!”
Whoosh—
In an instant, the golden color of the token turned dark red.
“F*ck, an acting Sect Master’s token?!!”
Little White’s pupils constricted and its mouth gaped open. The shock it felt was even more exaggerated than before.
“How is this possible!!!”
Be it him or Lord Zi Yang, neither of them had the right to issue the acting Sect Master token.
If there was anyone in the entire Mechanical Beast Sect who had the authority to do so, it would be the artifact spirit of the tower.
It was a pity that in the tragic battle back then, the Inheritance Pagoda was injured. After so many years, it and Lord Zi Yang had never seen the artifact spirit appear again.
“Could it be that the artifact spirit has awakened? That can’t be right. If the artifact spirit has awakened, as the guardian, Lord Zi Yang shouldn’t be unable to sense it…”
“Strange…”
It glared at Lin Ye and asked sternly, “Lin Ye, tell me the truth. What is going on with this token!?”
“Just now, an ethereal voice rang in my ear.”
Lin Ye frowned as he pondered. “It asked me what year it was already and whether humans have won or lost?”
“What happened after that?” Little White asked anxiously.
“Then, before I could say anything, the personal disciple token in my hand became the acting Sect Master’s token. I don’t know what happened either!” Lin Ye said innocently.
“Well…” Little White hesitated. From the look on Lin Ye’s face, he didn’t seem to understand either.
After some thought, its figure tore through the air. When it reappeared, Lord Zi Yang had also appeared.
“Little friend, hand me the token quickly.” Lord Zi Yang was clearly agitated as well. He took the token from Lin Ye and looked at it. He nodded and said, “I can’t be wrong. This is the acting Sect Master token of our sect. Its spirit pattern and pressure match.”
“Old Zi, it might be that the artifact spirit has awakened. Did you sense it?” Little White asked with a serious expression.
“I don’t think so. I’m the guardian spirit of the tower. If the artifact spirit awakens, it can’t possibly fool me…” Zi Yang shook his head.
“Then this acting Sect Master’s token…” Little White hinted.
“This… I don’t know the exact situation either, but from what you’re saying, Lin Ye is indeed the most suitable successor to the ruin so far. I personally don’t object to him controlling the Mechanical Beast Sect.”
Lord Zi Yang looked at Lin Ye and probed, “Why don’t we let him try?”
“Don’t ask me. I don’t know either. I only recognize the rules.” Little White shook its head.
“Then the rule is that meeting the acting Sect Master is equivalent to meeting the Sect Master himself.” Lord Zi Yang rubbed his nose.
“Sigh, there’s no other way. You saw it too. I followed the rules and definitely didn’t cross them.” Little White smiled.
There were actually benefits to having fewer disciples. Now that it and Lord Zi Yang were the only ones left, there were no disagreements and it was extremely comfortable.
“Then it’s decided. Little friend Lin Ye… cough cough, no, no, I should address you as the acting Sect Master. From today onwards, if the Sect Master doesn’t come out, you will be the acting Sect Master of my Mechanical Beast Sect.”
As they spoke, the man and the mechanical beast bowed to show their respect to the new Sect Master.
“You’re welcome. We’re family, don’t stand on ceremony.”
Lin Ye smiled and stood up.
Whoosh—
At the same time, the skin of the top lord outside his body moved without wind, transforming into a black and dignified dragon robe. He wore a goose feather cape on his back, a crown on his head, a longsword at his waist, and boots. Combined with his handsome face, he looked like a peerless emperor.
“Tsk tsk, clothes make the man. Acting… cough cough, the Sect Master’s outfit makes you stand out like you are a dragon among men!”
Little White praised.
“Good taste.” Lin Ye bared his teeth and gave a thumbs up. He flicked his cloak and said majestically, “Let’s go. Bring me to the Beast Pagoda. I am breaking through to Class 6. At the same time, I’ll lead all my people to break through to Class 5.”
“Sect Master is wise. Although our Mechanical Beast Sect is in ruins, our heritage is still there. It’s easy for one to break through to Class 5 in here.”
“Come, I’ll bring you there.”
With that, Lord Zi Yang waved his hand.
Whoosh—
A cloud ladder made of fog appeared.
In an instant, the man, spirit, and mechanical beast arrived at the entrance of the Beast Pagoda.
“Sect Master, your citizens are all on the third floor,” Zi Yang said.
“Then let’s go straight to the third floor.”
“Sect Master, to go straight to the third level, I need your Sect Master token’s permission!” Lord Zi Yang clasped his fists.
Lin Ye nodded and casually handed over the command token.
Swish!
A moment later, a mysterious beam of light landed and scanned the sect leader’s token.
With a cracking sound, the door leading to the third level of the Beast Pagoda opened.
When the light shone in, one could see that the space was huge, similar to a folded space. From the outside, it looked like it was only about a hundred square meters.
But once one entered, one would realize that the space inside was completely different from the outside world.
When one came alone, one would feel as if he was an ant. The next level above his head felt like it was thousands of meters away.
Opposite them, the sound of fighting rose and fell. Tru and the others took turns fighting. When they were tired, they rested and absorbed the spiritual energy in the spirit stones.
The cultivation atmosphere here was good. There was also a vast number of mechanical beasts as opponents. It could rapidly increase their combat strength in the short term.
At this moment, Luo Feng came down from the fourth floor.
Everyone heard the commotion on Lin Ye’s side and was shocked when they saw Lin Ye appear wearing such an exaggerated dragon robe.
“My lord, what’s with your outfit?” Tru asked carefully.
He felt that his lord’s aura had become lofty and unattainable. Just his gaze and thoughts were enough to cause waves in one’s heart.
This feeling was like seeing those invincible city lords giving speeches in major cities.
Perhaps this was the so-called domineeringness of a king!
“How dare you! This is the leader of my Mechanical Beast Sect!” Little White stared.
A terrifying wave of air exploded, and the air in the surroundings surged violently, causing everyone on the other side to be unable to open their eyes.
It was the same for Little Zombie Yang Fusheng. However, strangely, when he saw that Little White was angry, the little zombie did not dare to make a sound.
“Don’t be rash. We’re all on the same side.” Lin Ye pulled Little White.
“Okay!” Upon hearing that, Little White immediately removed its pressure and the wind died down.
“I couldn’t tell that you were very strong! To be honest, what level of battle prowess are you at?” Lin Ye narrowed his eyes.
He felt that even he might not be able to withstand the anger just now.
“To be honest, I’m only at Class 9. Because I’m too useless, I was left behind by the Sect Master to guard the Inheritance Pagoda back then,” Little White said slowly.
“…”
Everyone present was speechless. A Class 9 trash?
They felt offended!
“Class 9?!!!”
On the other hand, Lin Ye had no other thoughts but was overjoyed.
Good lord, he was definitely a super thug!
If there were any difficult bosses in the future, he could get Little White to kill them with a slap.
How exciting!
As if reading Lin Ye’s thoughts, Little White said bluntly, “Sect Master, don’t think about it. I can’t go out.. The rules outside have restricted me from doing so. For living beings like me and Zi Yang, before the Class 9 level limit is lifted, there’s basically no hope of us getting out into the main world unless we go to the Underworld or Hell…”
