Chapter 669: Chapter 669: Sect Leader’s Sixth Stage Task, Prototype of the Demon-locking Tower
The annual meeting of the Misty Sect was not complicated.
Hanging lanterns, posting Spring Festival couplets, New Year’s Eve dinner, poetry reading, sparring on the spot, cutting fruit, handing out red envelopes.
Ye Feng was very generous.
With a single gesture, he gave a middle-grade Spiritual Artifact to each person.
The Elders were not stingy either.
Some put Spirit Stones in the red envelopes, some secret techniques, some Spiritual Medicines, and some inserted cultivation insights.
The disciples blindly unwrapped gift boxes, filled with surprise.
Inside the Misty Sect, laughter and joyful voices were endless.
When everyone had their fill of fun, Ye Feng and Hu Feifei walked side by side to the summit of Misty Peak, looking at the Elders, disciples, Spiritual Beasts, and Stewards in the sect who were chatting idly, the corners of his mouth lifting slightly.
“The atmosphere in the sect has always been good, which is really nice!”
Ye Feng smiled.
He looked up at the moonlit sky.
It was time.
“Ding, it has been detected that the sect has entered the third year of its development stage, meeting the conditions for activating the Sect Leader’s sixth-stage mission, officially starting the new mission. Please check the details, Sect Leader.”
The system notification arrived on time.
[Sect Leader’s Sixth-Stage Mission]
[Mission Description: Lead the Misty Sect to ascend to Four Star-Level Force; disciple reputation to exceed one hundred million; Elder reputation to exceed three hundred million; recruit ten thousand Third Generation disciples]
[Mission Deadline: Three years]
[Mission Reward: Fragment of the Heart of Wisdom ×1, Special Origin ×3, Fragment of the Time Codex ×1, Fragment of the Spatial Codex ×1, Supreme Grade Spiritual Treasure ×3, Sect’s Marketplace (physical construction), Random Reward Lucky Bag ×10]
Upon seeing the mission content, Ye Feng thought to himself that it was as expected.
He had already guessed that the sixth stage mission for the Sect Leader would be to promote the Misty Sect to Four Star-Level, but he hadn’t expected the subsequent three smaller tasks.
Ye Feng quickly opened the system panel.
[Disciple Reputation: 2.76 million]
[Elder Reputation: 19.78 million]
[Third Generation Disciple Count: 0/10000]
Seeing these three pieces of data, Ye Feng was slightly surprised.
“When the fifth stage Sect Leader mission was taking place, the disciples had just broken through one million in reputation. Now, in not much time, it’s nearly three million, which is not bad. But, the distance to one hundred million is still vast.”
“As for the Elders’ reputation, nearly twenty million? How did this come about? System, do you know?”
The system fell silent for a while.
It seemed to be processing calculations with its 2G network.
A moment later.
“Ding! The current reputation acquired by the sect Elders is as follows.”
“Spirit Consolidating Ancestral Tree: 11.07 million.”
“Sect Master of Shadow Demon Sect: 1.87 million.”
“Ancestor of Green-garbed Sword: 0.92 million.”
…
The system listed detailed data.
“The Spirit Consolidating Ancestral Tree alone garnered millions in reputation?”
This fact was unexpected to Ye Feng, his face filled with surprise.
He thought about it and felt that it must be because the Spirit Consolidating Ancestral Tree had caused a significant commotion when it appeared earlier.
Moreover, the Spirit Consolidating Ancestral Tree was the source of the Spirit Consolidating Fruit.
It was a treasure tree that could bless generations. As long as it produced more spores and created more Spirit Consolidating Fruits to help an increasing number of cultivators advance to the Divine Origin Realm, its reputation would inevitably soar.
“However, this mission only requires disciple and Elder reputation, without counting that of the Spiritual Beasts. Otherwise, the difficulty would be much higher.”
Ye Feng muttered.
He looked at the last requirement.
“Now, the sect has entered the third year of development. Within this year, the disciples to be recruited are the Third Generation disciples, meaning I must recruit ten thousand within a year.”
“Otherwise, the mission cannot be completed.”
“However, there are only about three to four thousand young individuals from the Eighteen Ancient Clans in the Cave Heaven World tested by the Fate Purple Gold Bell, far from enough.”
“So, external recruitment is necessary.”
Ye Feng stroked his chin, analyzing silently to himself.
Then, Ye Feng saw the subsequent rewards.
His eyes locked onto the words “Sect’s Marketplace,” and his brows were filled with a look of astonishment.
“This thing actually exists?”
Ye Feng was taken aback and lost color in his face.
Before, he had complained that the System didn’t have a marketplace, but after he completed the Sect Leader’s sixth-stage task, he could actually open a physical building form of the Sect’s Marketplace.
This point was quite marvelous!
“It seems that I need to complain about the System more often; if I don’t push it, it won’t realize how capable it is.”
Ye Feng muttered softly to himself.
Boom boom boom…
Just then, deep in the firmament, thunderous tribulations gathered, their mighty sound carrying across tens of thousands of miles.
“Awoo!”
With a sense of something approaching, Ye Feng looked behind him and saw Hu Feifei had completed her transformation, standing on the ground with clenched fists, looking up, and making a strange howl towards the sky.
The next moment, two pink tails emerged behind her.
Now, she had nine fox tails!
Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox!
Apart from having nine tails, Hu Feifei’s changes were not small… mainly her physique had changed significantly.
In terms of temperament, she also appeared even more noble.
“Sect Leader, I finally woke up, I want a hug!”
Hu Feifei opened her arms and lunged toward Ye Feng.
Ye Feng was quick to react, pressing his hand against Hu Feifei’s forehead, “Forget it, you’re about to face the Heavenly Tribulation, try not to stand too close to me, I’m afraid of being struck by lightning.”
“Sect Leader, you’re mean!”
Hu Feifei pouted, kicked her legs, and soared up to ten thousand feet in the sky, opening her mouth to devour the lightning.
[Hu Feifei’s Upgrade Energy: 20%]
…
[Hu Feifei’s Upgrade Energy: 25%]
Once Hu Feifei had devoured the Heavenly Tribulation, the accumulated energy reached only 25%, which was much less than before.
“System, Feifei has now ascended to a Supreme Grade Spiritual Treasure, so after her energy accumulation is full, will she advance to a Sacred Arms?”
The System did not answer.
Seeing this, Ye Feng pursed his lips.
Whoosh!
Hu Feifei instantaneously appeared beside Ye Feng, wrapping her arms around him, and asked affectionately, “Sect Leader, are my arms soft and warm?”
Ye Feng’s mouth twitched, “Why don’t you ask ‘am I saucy enough’ as well?”
Hu Feifei’s eyes curved into a smile, “Sure! Sect Leader, do you think I’m saucy enough?”
Ye Feng: “…”
He had no words and quickly sent Hu Feifei away, then found the Ancestor of Green-garbed Sword who was having a merry time drinking with the various Great Elders.
“It’s the third year now, starting from tomorrow, we will officially recruit Third Generation Disciples. Everyone from all the Cave Heaven Worlds who meets the criteria will be sent to Misty Peak in succession to be registered.”
Ye Feng instructed.
Only by being registered in the Sect Name Register and stamped with the Sect Leader’s Seal would it take effect and bring him an increase in Flesh Body Strength.
“Understood.”
The Ancestor of Green-garbed Sword nodded, “Sect Leader, it seems you haven’t entered the Cave Heaven World of the Eighteen Ancient Clans yet, would you like to take a look now?”
“Sure.” Ye Feng did not object.
Soon, a group of people rose into the air and entered the Cave Heaven World where the Qing Shu Sword Sect was located.
Past the Holy Temple Gate, what came into view was a valley filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers.
The Holy Temple Gate was located above a central pond in the valley, surrounded by countless sword flowers, quite distinctive.
The group ascended into the sky.
Ye Feng released his Divine Sense, sweeping over the entire Cave Heaven World, noting that it covered an area of tens of thousands of miles, vast in size, mostly consisting of oceans, with a central landmass of more than twenty thousand miles in circumference.
As for the valley at the entrance, it was actually a Floating Island suspended above the sea, secluded from the world.
“Sect Leader, this is the Green Mountain Realm.”
“This land has six Mortal Realm Kingdoms with a total population of around twenty million. The disciples of our Qing Shu Sword Sect are painstakingly selected from these six kingdoms.”
The Ancestor of Green-garbed Sword introduced.
In the Green Mountain Realm, the Qing Shu Sword Sect was the only Cultivation Sect and also the supreme ruler of the entire realm.
However, they disdained participating in mortal conflicts.
“Huh, why is there also a Demon-locking Tower here?”
As Ye Feng was observing the entire Green Mountain Realm, he suddenly noticed that on a solitary island ten thousand miles away from the central landmass stood a Nine-Layered Demon-Sealing Tower, which was a damaged Supreme Grade Spiritual Artifact!
“Sect Leader, that is the original form of the Demon-locking Tower.” The Ancestor of Green-garbed Sword pointed at the tower and explained.
“The original form of the Demon-locking Tower?” Ye Feng’s gaze sharpened.
