The large Beast Tide that erupted on the outskirts of the Abyss of Ten Thousand Demons nearly shocked the entire Sky Abyss Empire. Fortunately, the Heavenly Mechanism Sect dispatched a large number of experts in time, managing to contain the Beast Tide within the area of the Abyss of Ten Thousand Demons, preventing it from affecting the human activity zones nearby.
Even so, the Heavenly Mechanism Sect faced severe criticism for choosing an inappropriate location as the Trial Ground, which led to the outbreak of the Beast Tide and resulted in countless martial artists falling in the Abyss of Ten Thousand Demons.
Ye Feng and his companions were relatively lucky; they held out until the end. Just before a large number of High-Level Magical Beasts arrived, experts from the Heavenly Mechanism Sect appeared in time to rescue them from the Trial Ground.
As a result, they successfully passed the final survival trial and became official disciples of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect.
Ye Feng, Cheng Ze, and Zong Nan became the greatest contributors in this trial because they successfully held off and killed a Dragonwing Beast, saving many Trial Disciples. The higher-ups of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect awarded them a significant amount of contribution points, allowing them to become Two-Star Disciples without needing to pay any materials.
Ye Feng was unconscious for three days and nights. When he woke up, he found himself in a clean and elegant room. His wounds had been bandaged and had completely healed. Thanks to the Innate Spirit Summoning Technique, his body was extremely resilient, and his recovery ability far exceeded that of ordinary people. During his battle with the Dragonwing Beast, he had not sustained severe injuries; it was mainly due to excessive use of spiritual power that led him to faint.
He smiled wryly; it seemed he had managed to save his life. He was unaware that experts from the Heavenly Mechanism Sect had appeared at the Trial Ground in time. He thought that Cheng Ze and Zong Nan had not abandoned him but had brought him away at the last moment.
Shaking his head, Ye Feng sat cross-legged to check on his physical condition. Soon he discovered that after this period of rest, the spiritual energy in Nirvana Palace had recovered somewhat, and the dizziness in his mind had completely disappeared without leaving any aftereffects.
Recalling the previous battle, Ye Feng still felt a lingering fear. If his Blood Pattern Needle had not achieved its intended anti-magic effect, he would have likely been reduced to ashes by now.
As he pondered these thoughts, there was a knock on the door outside the room. Ye Feng was slightly taken aback; he did not expect someone would know he had just woken up.
"Come in," he said after tidying up briefly and getting out of bed.
The door opened, and standing before him was none other than Bai Jing, his first friend since arriving at the Heavenly Mechanism Sect.
"You really woke up!" Bai Jing, dressed in Outer Sect Disciple attire of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect, appeared exceptionally excited. Upon seeing Ye Feng, she exclaimed immediately, "That elder from the medical path was right; your injuries are not serious at all; you were only unconscious for three days at most."
"Elder from the medical path? Bai Jing, is this really the Heavenly Mechanism Sect?" Ye Feng asked curiously.
"Where else could it be? You are now quite famous among the Outer Sect of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect. Several elders have come to see you; I heard some are Hall Master-level figures. They specifically invited an elder from Divine Healer Sect to provide you with comprehensive treatment and examination."
The Divine Healer Sect is quite special; although it is an Earth-Level Sect with disciples primarily practicing Wood-based Supreme Techniques and possessing low combat power, their medical skills are renowned throughout the world. No sect dares to offend them, and their disciples hold an incredibly high status in Divine Martial Continent.
"Comprehensive treatment and examination?" Ye Feng's heart sank. He did not know much about Divine Healer Sect, but since they were famous for their medical skills, they must have impressive diagnostic methods. This meant that his secret of cultivating Six Elements Supreme Techniques could be discovered.
"It's strange; even those from Divine Healer Sect couldn't figure out your current condition. I heard that your Dantian is protected by a mysterious force, preventing even Divine Consciousness from their elders from penetrating it for examination. So they couldn't determine where you were injured; they only guessed that given your current state, you would wake up after no more than three days," Bai Jing observed Ye Feng with great curiosity as if she were meeting him for the first time.
"I have cultivated a special Supreme Technique that outsiders cannot probe into my Dantian," Ye Feng thought to himself, feeling reassured. At the same time, practicing six types of Supreme Techniques might lead others to see him as a monster. Fortunately, although his spiritual energy was nearly depleted, he still had some key positions within his body that were guarded. Even in his unconscious state, it was easy for him to block external Divine Consciousness from probing.
"I must have missed quite a bit during this period of unconsciousness," Ye Feng deliberately changed the subject.
"Yes, it's such a pity. You missed the entrance ceremony for the Heavenly Mechanism Sect. This ceremony was held with great pomp, and even many reclusive elders attended. It is said that it was due to the Beast Tide, and the Heavenly Mechanism Sect placed great importance on this Outer Sect Disciple entrance ceremony, especially praising our batch of Outer Sect Disciples who experienced the Beast Tide," Bai Jing said proudly.
The survival trials of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect were divided into ten batches, each held in different areas of the Abyss of Ten Thousand Demons. Ye Feng's batch of Trial Disciples happened to be concentrated in the area where the Beast Tide erupted, suffering the most casualties.
"By the way, you and Cheng Ze and Zong Nan also made significant contributions by handling this crisis properly. During this entrance ceremony, your names were specifically mentioned and praised, and you were rewarded with five thousand points, allowing you to directly advance to Two-Star Outer Sect Disciple," Bai Jing suddenly remembered something and walked over to a wardrobe in the room. "I've collected everything you need, including your Identity Token, Sect attire, and room keys."
Opening the wardrobe door, Ye Feng noticed that besides the items distributed by the Sect, all his personal belongings were neatly stored in the wardrobe's storage area. This included his Lingfeng Sword, Storage Ring, and storage bag. This eased his mind a bit; it seemed that the Heavenly Mechanism Sect valued personal belongings. The Lingfeng Sword was not much of an issue, but the Storage Ring and storage bag were enough to astonish most people since not everyone could possess such high-level space Treasure Artifacts.
Bai Jing took out a silver token and a small booklet from the wardrobe and turned around to hand them to Ye Feng. "This is your new Identity Token. Your contribution points and related information have been engraved on it through Spirit Pattern. If you need to accept tasks or exchange points, you can go directly to the Scripture Pavilion or Xuanwu Tower within the Sect. Additionally, specific details about the Sect are recorded in this booklet; you should understand after reading it."
Ye Feng accepted the token and booklet, gratefully patting Bai Jing on the shoulder. "Thank you."
"No need to be polite. After all, if it weren't for you and Zong Nan, we might have lost our lives," Bai Jing shook his head repeatedly.
After a brief chat, Bai Jing took his leave since he had just joined the Heavenly Mechanism Sect and had many chores to attend to.
Ye Feng did not insist on keeping him longer. After seeing Bai Jing out of his room and closing the door behind him, he picked up the handbook issued by the Heavenly Mechanism Sect and carefully flipped through it.
As a Heavenly Level Sect, the Heavenly Mechanism Sect managed its Outer Sect Disciples very loosely; they were almost in a free-range state. Each Outer Sect Disciple could act freely within the Heavenly Mechanism Sect without too many restrictions. However, every so often, some senior experts from the Heavenly Mechanism Sect would appear in the Outer Sect's Martial Arts Hall to explain difficult cultivation issues to Outer Sect Disciples.
However, due to the existence of the Outer Sect Grand Competition held every three years, those at the bottom of the rankings would be expelled from the Sect. Moreover, if they failed to reach a certain martial arts realm within a limited time frame, they would also be forced to leave. Therefore, every Outer Sect Disciple dared not slack off; contribution points were the only currency within the Heavenly Mechanism Sect. To obtain better Martial Techniques or more pills, they had to continuously accept tasks issued by the Sect to earn corresponding points.
"One can directly exchange points for Elemental Crystals!" The handbook listed some items available for exchange at the Scripture Pavilion, including Elemental Crystals that Ye Feng urgently needed. However, just for mixed Elemental Crystals, one needed one hundred points for each exchange; pure single attribute Elemental Crystals cost as much as five hundred points.
Although he received five thousand points as a reward, he could only exchange for ten pure Elemental Crystals.
For Ye Feng, who was eager to advance in Primordial Force Realm and wanted to quickly refine all Six Elemental Forces into True Essence, this was merely a drop in the bucket.
"It seems necessary to visit Martial Halls and see if there are any high-point tasks suitable for me." Since he had already become a Two-Star Disciple, Ye Feng did not plan to directly exchange his Heavenly Demon Flower for contribution points; he felt that it would be very useful for him in the future.
The manual contains a map of the area where the Outer Sect is located. Ye Feng is currently at Ruyun Peak, which is part of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect's Outer Sect. He had been here before during the Talent Assessment and has a deep impression of this area.
The living area for Outer Sect Disciples occupies a vast ground area, nearly a hundred times larger than the Wohu Garden of the Dragon Tiger Sect. After all, it is a Heavenly Level Sect, with nearly one hundred thousand Outer Sect Disciples in total. The Heavenly Mechanism Sect divides their living quarters into three areas based on the disciples' star ratings.
One-star disciples reside in Serenity Courtyard, two-star disciples live in Qingxin Courtyard, while three-star disciples inhabit the Qianlong Courtyard, which has the most concentrated Heaven and Earth Vitality on the entire Ruyun Peak.
In his eagerness to check the contribution points that relevant tasks could provide, Ye Feng had no time to appreciate the beautiful scenery around him and hurried straight to Xuanwu Tower.
Xuanwu Tower is located on the west side of Ruyun Peak. It does not cover a large area, only several dozen zhang in size, and is not far from the three main courtyards where Outer Sect Disciples reside. It didn't take long for Ye Feng to arrive at the courtyard outside Xuanwu Tower.
Before him, mist swirled around, and the entire building seemed to be constructed in the clouds, exuding an ethereal aura that resembled a fairyland.
The similar ethereal flow is naturally formed from the overly concentrated Heaven and Earth Vitality. The Heavenly Mechanism Sect is indeed wealthy; even this building for Outer Sect Disciples to accept tasks is equipped with corresponding Mystical Formations to gather the surrounding Heaven and Earth Vitality.
There were not many disciples inside Xuanwu Tower, and each was busy looking for suitable tasks on the task board, so no one noticed Ye Feng.
The lobby on the first floor appeared extremely spacious, with various tasks hanging on all four walls. Ye Feng was quickly attracted by the content of the tasks displayed on the board.
