"800 Inner Sect Disciples and 3,000 Outer Sect Disciples didn’t immediately join the Sect, the Tao Sect gave them three days to deal with...cough, some miscellaneous matters around them.
Three days later would be the official start of school... the time to join the Sect.
As an Outer Sect elder, mainly dealing with external affairs, during this time Yan Dingtian and several Outer Sect staff lived in Tao City.
A batch of ’temporary workers’ also became official Outer Sect staff.
The 3,800 Heavenly Pride, at this time, also became the center of attention and the objects of flattery. Fortunately, they were all people with good character and didn’t lose themselves in the endless worldly distractions.
After seeing the ’true genius’ Shanggong Ling, not many dared to claim the title of genius for themselves.
However, some busybodies who couldn’t enter the Sect had ranked the top hundred strongest Heavenly Pride, and published a book named ’Top Hundred Heavenly Pride.’
You’d be surprised, but each one of the hundred Heavenly Pride had been analyzed in detail, each accompanied by a rather detailed life story, persuasive and well-founded.
A copy of the ’Top Hundred Heavenly Pride’ sold for 8.8 Source Crystals, and it was said that in just three days, sales exceeded five hundred thousand.
The hidden proprietor behind ’Heavenly Mechanism Tower’ was grinning from ear to ear.
"What exactly is this ’Heavenly Mechanism Tower’?" asked Yan Dingtian, sitting upright.
"’Heavenly Mechanism Tower’ is a top force on the continent, with a mysterious background and a variety of members. They don’t have their own country or city, but have branches in many key cities."
"Can they buy any information?"
"That’s certainly not possible. In reality, ’Heavenly Mechanism Tower’ is also a very shrewd force. They never provoke real powerhouses or top forces, but rather they sell information to ordinary Unity Realm, Stepping Void Realm cultivators, and even though it’s piecemeal, the income is significant."
Yan pondered thoughtfully.
He was interested in ’Heavenly Mechanism Tower,’ mainly because he wanted to obtain more information about ’Tao Sect’ from organizations like it that gathered information.
After all, the Tao Sect was a colossal entity, and forces like ’Heavenly Mechanism Tower’ also preferred not to secretly investigate, hoping to get information from public channels.
It just so happened that the Tao Sect also needed to use these organizations’ channels to continue spreading the Sect’s prestige.
Elder Yan scheduled a meeting with these organizations at once.
Time moved on to the afternoon,
Inside a palace, Elder Yan, looking at the crowd in front of him, armed with various recording devices, felt somewhat uneasy for some reason.
He recalled the fear of being at the mercy of reporters from Green Shadow’s major newspapers and television stations.
Could it be that such a terrifying creature as journalists also existed in Otherworld?
He cleared his throat and sat up straight.
This was a serious, Tao Sect ’external press conference.’ ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ novel⚑fire.net
"Elder Yan, could you reveal the talent assessment of that Sect Master’s disciple? How did she manage to go from an ordinary person to a Unity Realm powerhouse in just three short years?"
Elder Yan: I’d like to know too.
"Elder Yan, may I ask how many Inner Sect elders there are in the Tao Sect, and to what realm has the Sect Master ascended?"
Elder Yan: I’d like to know that too! Haven’t you seen I’m just an Outer Sect odd-jobber?
"Elder Yan, it’s rumored that the Divine Domain Realm Assassin who attempted the sneak attack is the notorious ’Demon Shadow,’ who has successfully assassinated three Divine Domain beings. What countermeasures has the Tao Sect prepared for ’Demon Shadow’?"
Elder Yan: I’d like to know that too! But the Sect Master hasn’t said, and I wouldn’t dare to ask!
"Elder Yan, from your few words, we’ve come to understand that you are a real genius. Could you reveal how long it took you to step into Stepping Void, Unity Realm?"
That, I do know, but can I say it? Wouldn’t that scare you to death!!
Can’t you ask something else?
What kind of trashy organizations are these?!
Don’t they have any professional integrity?!
Wasn’t this supposed to be about understanding our Tao Sect? Where did it go off track!
Yan Dingtian felt the ’press conference’ couldn’t continue!
Three days passed in a flash.
"Inner Sect Disciples can live on Kowloon Mountain, while Outer Sect Disciples can only choose to live around Kowloon Mountain on the surrounding mountains. The difference is, the Cultivation environment for Inner Sect Disciples living area is better, but Outer Sect Disciples need not be discouraged. Periodically, the Sect will assess you, and those who perform excellently and make outstanding contributions can be promoted from Outer Sect Disciple to Inner Sect Disciple, and from Inner Sect Disciple to Core Disciple."
"However, if you do not cherish the opportunity to cultivate within the Tao Sect and perform poorly in the assessments, then Inner Sect Disciples may also be demoted to Outer Sect Disciples, or even expelled from the Sect."
Yan Dingtian had already isolated himself — gone into seclusion.
The one in charge this time was Inner Sect elder Shay, with a cigarette hanging from his lips, looking at the excited young talents in front of him with ill intent, "I do hope some of you get expelled from the Sect. That way, this Law Enforcement Elder wouldn’t be too bored, hehehe—"
The group of young talents were genuinely scared.
An assessment every three months? Did they hear there’s an even harder test? Poor performance leading to expulsion from the Sect? God, that’s too dangerous!
"Now, everyone follow this elder to the Book Collection Pavilion of Kowloon Mountain. Both Inner and Outer Sect Disciples have one free opportunity to enter the Book Collection Pavilion."
"Oh right..." Shay took a few steps to ascend into the air, looking around at the surrounding onlookers, "Those who missed out this time, it’s not that you have no chance forever to become disciples of our Tao Sect. Our Tao City occasionally posts missions, completing these missions will earn some contribution points, and with enough contribution points, you can be exceptionally admitted by the Sect."
