Number One Under Heaven

Chapter 43: Spirit Gate

After another 2 hours, Meng Xiang finally wakes up. Last night she fell asleep outside, with Tian Yi carrying her back to her room.

She walks out of the room, straight to Tian Yis room and knocks, Big Brother, are you in there? She calls for him.

I am in the living room. She hears his voice calling for her downstairs.

Coming! She runs downstairs with excitement, thinking, Another day with Big Brother!

She arrives at the living room to see a beautiful Big Sister, sitting next to her Big Brother. She was the Big Sister yesterday who was making weird sounds in her sleep.

Good Morning Big Brother and Senior! She did not know how to address her.

You can call me Big Sister for now. She was just a little girl, so Xuan Wanshan did not mind. When she grows up, she can start calling her something else.

Okay, Big Sister! She nods.

Meng Xiang, go wash your face and eat breakfast, well be going to the Sect Mission Hall today. Tian Yi reminds her like a Big Brother. Xuan Wanshan giggles in her heart seeing a new aside from her disciple.

Yes, Big Brother! She runs off to wash her face.

A few minutes later, she comes back with a clean face and neatly tied hair. She sits down in front of these two and eats her breakfast.

Xuan Wanshan continues to teach Tian Yi about the Mortals Realm. She taught him about the dangerous places to the best food in town.

After Meng Xiang finishes, they finally head out to the Mission Hall.

* * * * *

Hey, its been many hours already, are they not done yet?

I dont believe they can play for this long! Ill go back to challenge him again! The one who dared to challenge him knowing Xuan Wanshan was there steps up again!

Good! Good Luck! The disciples cheers for him.

The brave challenger once again goes out and knocks on the door.

Look, hes challenging him again!

The other disciples notices and begins watching with expectation.

*Knock* *Knock*

He knocks on the door loudly, then waits silently.

..

Many minutes passed, and no one opened the door!

*Knock* *Knock*

He knocks on the door even louder.

.

Even after a few more minutes, they still did not open the door!

Fuck you! Are you two making so many noises that you cant even hear my door knocks?!?! He curses in his heart.

*Bang* *Bang* *Bang*

This time, instead of knocking, he bangs on the door almost making three holes!

..

A few moments later, Fuck! They definitely made a formation, keeping out all sounds from bothering them! He curses and walks back to the house.

Oi, what happened? The door didnt even open. Someone asks him.

They made a sound silencing formation, making sure we cant bother them anymore! He gnashes his teeth in anger.

What! So we are back to square one, waiting?!

Goddamit! I want to rush in, but I am too young to die!

No choice, well knock on their door every hour until they finish!

They all continue waiting, unaware that Tian Yi and Xuan Wanshan had already left through the backyard, flying to the Sect Mission Hall!

* * * * *

Outside the Sect Mission Hall, Three figures come down from the sky, landing in front of the entrance. They walk into this building with a large hall, and colored boards are hanging everywhere. Sticking on these boards are many white papers with words on them.

Tian Yi, the Sect Mission Hall have six different levels of Mission, each having their own difficulty. Level one is generally for new disciples or anyone who just wants to fulfill their monthly requirements. They dont give out much reward.

Level two are for these who wants to earn some money; its usually helping the town by killing nearby beasts or guarding some merchants from bandits.

Level three are only for the Inner Court disciples and above because it mostly involves Magic Beasts subjugation. Magic Beasts are Beasts that Cultivate, making them more dangerous.

Level four can only be accepted by Core disciples, mostly involves killing very dangerous criminals.

Level 5 and 6 are only for Elders because they involve Devil Cultivators and Evil Sects. Even Elders are required to do Missions, but only once a Year. Xuan Wanshan explains the main point of the Sect Mission Halls missions, skipping the pointless things.

Then the colors are based on the levels? Tian Yi asks.

Yes, gray colors are level 1-2 Missions, green is 3-4 and red are 5-6. She answers.

Devil Cultivators and Evil Sects. Tian Yi thinks to himself.

Devil Cultivators, Cultivating Evil Techniques by killing innocents. Evil Sects, even more, evil and operates as a Sect. There have been many Evil Sects recorded in History, many of them involving Cultivators enslaving Mortals and toying with them. The most well-known one is the Mortals Nightmare Sect, kidnapping and enslaving more than 1 million Mortals! Not only are they a big Sect, they even have many other branches! Even to this day, they are still operating, with many Cultivators hunting them down. Since the beginning of their terrorizing, only three branches has ever been cleared out, with the Main Sect location still unknown to this day!

Tian Yi and Xuan Wanshan walked around, followed by Meng Xiang. Xuan Wanshan was following Tian Yi silently, letting him choose his first Mission.

Tian Yi walked around, reading many of the Missions. Some were stupid, but many were kind of interesting.

[Level 1, help someone clean their backyard, leaving no weeds. 60 Copper and 5 Honor Point.] Honor Points can be used to trade for Medicine and Cultivation Techniques in the Sect.

[Level 2, help clean out the remains in Mothers Desire. 3 Silver and 31 Honor Point. Extra Free one hour service for one time.] It was a prostitution business, filled with mature woman.

[Level 3, Someone needs a Fire True Breast Core. 1 Gold and 329 Honor Points.] A strong enough Magic Beast can grow a Beast Core in their Dantain. Not only Cultivators have Dantian, but even Magic Beasts also have them, which is how they Cultivate. And if that Magic Beast have an Attribute in their Spirit Power, it will mutate their Beast Core, making it have an Element to it. Killing a True Qi Magic Beast might have a True Beast Core.

[Level 4, Find and Kill the Blood Drinking Madman, last seen two days ago in the Paradise Garden. Spirit Realm Expert recommended. 365 Gold, 2,430 Honor Points, and 300 Ranking points] Ranking points are for Core Disciples ranking board.

[Level 5, Find and Kill the Devil Cultivator Jeng Jai, last seen six days ago in the Phoenixs Continents largest city, Phoenixs City. A group of 6 is recommended. 15,000 Gold and 150,000 Honor Points will be shared amongst the group.] Some Missions can be cleared by in groups.

[Level 6, Find and wipe out the Mortals Nightmare Sect! Only go if you are at least a Spirit Lord, in a group of more than 100. New rumors were saying it is near the Phoenixs Continent, not confirmed, go at your own risk. Rewards not determined.] Every other Sect will also have similar missions.

.. Xuan Wanshan looks at Tian Yi, who has been staring at the Level 6 Mission for a few minutes now.

Are you interested in the Mortals Nightmare Sect? She can tell that he was interested in why this Sect was being hunted down by everybody.

Yes, what have they done to be called Mortals Nightmare? Is it that bad? He has never heard of them before.

Theyre more than just bad; theyre inhuman beings. Are you sure you want to know? It might leave many bad tastes in your mouth. She did not want him to hear such an ugly story

Yes. Meng Xiang, you dont have to listen to this, so Ill take away your hearing for a bit, okay? He did not want her to hear it.

Un. She nods.

Sorry. He seals her hearing, making her deaf.

Fine, tell me when you want me to stop. She sighs.

This is what one of my Senior had told me before, who was there to participate in their first branch raid. Mortals Nightmare Sect, one of the largest Evil Sect in the Mortals Realm. The number of innocent people theyve killed are countless, just the corpses weve found so far was already enough to build many mountains. The moment we stepped inside their branch, was also the moment we stepped into hell. The walls were painted in blood, leaving no part bloodless. Decapitated heads were hanged on the ceiling, still dripping blood. The floor was littered with headless bodies, none of them uninjured. Most of them did not even have all four limbs, some even had chunks of their flesh gone, with human bite marks. And that was just the first floor; the second floor was where true hell begins. People impaled top to bottom by spears, innocent humans chained in cages eaten alive by beasts, and a room filled with naked females, chained to the wall. Their bodies covered with bloody cuts and holes, some of them did not even have their heads or limbs attached. The third floor, also the last, had a handmade pool filled with blood and human organs. Before weve even reached the third floor, most of us had already thrown up more than once. After seeing the Devil Cultivators bathing in the pool of blood, drinking human blood, and even eating the organs around, weve finally gone mad and slaughtered every single Devil Cultivator, leaving no room for discussion. Ever since that day, Cultivators everywhere began searching for their Main Sect like mad, hoping to wipe them out for good! Xuan Wanshan finally stops talking, taking in deep breaths. Just her telling the story has already made her feel sick.

. Tian Yi stands there with his eyes closed, thinking silently.

He finally opens his eyes and unseals Meng Xiangs hearing.

Do you regret it now? Xuan Wanshan asks him.

No, thank you, Master, for telling me. He said.

Okay, then what kind of missions do you want?

Then Ill take this one.

He takes a paper from one of the gray board and hands it to Xuan Wanshan.

She reads in and becomes surprised, This is Are you sure? Its in the Phoenixs Continent. You just got here, why go so far for your first mission? And this kind of mission is

[Level 2, help set up a banquet for the Feng Family in the Phoenixs Continent, you will be screened by the Family before you actually start. 5 Gold and 150 Honor Points.] The Feng Family, the Imperial Family of Phoenixs Continent, the ranked 2nd strongest amongst the five big Continent.

Because my plans for coming down here is to explore. Now that I have a chance to go to the Phoenixs Continent, why wont I go? Not to mention the Mortals Nightmare Sect might be there He says with a calm voice.

Mortals Nightmare Sect? What are you talking about?! She looks at him with a frown.

I will not lie to you Master, I plan on cleaning them out. He had no reason to keep this from her.

You! What are you thinking! How are you going to wipe them out? Are you trying to suicide? I will not let you do something so dangerous! She refuses to let him do something so stupid and arrogant!

Master, I told you that I came from a higher Realm, correct? Still calm, he asks her.

Yes, so what about it? How will that change anything? Or are you going to make your entire family come down here?

Master, remember my other Servant named Lao Bai? Hes an Immortal, and he can single-handedly deal with them. He mentions Lao Bai, but he will not be bringing him into this. It was only to make her agree. When the time comes, he will personally handle it and show her his power.

An Immortal?!? A Heaven Realm Expert? She was shocked! An Immortal as a Servant?! What family did he come from?!

Hes a Golden Immortal. He tells her his real Cultivation.

Golden Immortal? What is that? She does not know about any Cultivation Realms above the Heaven Realm!

. Lets just say he can kill a Spirit King just by sneezing. He tries to explain how powerful he is.

What?! Kill a Spirit King by sneezing?! She is now shocked speechless! Spirit Kings are at the Apex in Mortals Realm, but he can kill them by sneezing?! What kind of Cultivation is that?!? But if his servant is really that powerful, then maybe he can really clean out this Evil Sect!

Are you sure that nothing will go wrong? Is your servant really that reliable? You promise me? She makes him promise her, knowing that he will not break it.

Master, do you really have so little trust in me? Yes, I promise you that we will not be in danger, and my servant is really that strong! He promises her, but also playing around with the words! He can not be sure that everything will go as planned, but he is confident that they will not be in danger!

Fine! We will go to the Phoenixs Continent, and after we finish setting up the banquet, we will decide from there! When Tian Yi questioned her trust in him, her heart felt heavier, so she decided to trust him.

Thank you, Master, for trusting me! He smiles.

Dont be so happy yet; we still have to get approval from the Sect Master. Traveling between Continents is a big deal.

She reminds him. Not only will this be a long journey, but they will also be doing some dangerous things. Luckily she is a Spirit King, or she wouldve never agreed to go there. She had confidence that she will be able to keep her disciple safe, making her feel more reassured.

Ah, then you do not have to worry, hell definitely agree. He smiles.

We will see! She does not know why he had so much confidence. Does he know the Sect Master?

They took the Level 2 Mission and went to the front desk, where you register your names, recording that youve accepted the mission.

The Elder at the front desk watches them register, Name and Mission?

Tian Yi He hands him the mission paper.

Tian Yi? The Elders eyes lit up.

He looks at the mission paper and nods, Accepted, you can start your mission whenever you are ready.

What?! Dont we have to get the Sect Masters approval if we wanted to travel between Continents? Xuan Wanshan can not believe her ears, since when did an Elder have this much authority?

Yes, and the Sect Master has already approved it. He hands her a Jade Slip, filled with information inside it.

She takes it and scans it with her Divine Sense, The Disciple named Tian Yi will be treated with the utmost respect! If you dare to disrespect him, be ready to get slapped by the Ancestor himself! Everything he asks will be approved, no questions asked, but dont make it too obvious! After that, come report to me! She was shocked at the contents inside the Jade Slip! So the Sect Master and her disciple had a connection already! She looks at her disciple, wanting to know what else he has hidden away from her.

Tian Yi notices her look and smiles, See? I told you he would agree. He did not peek inside the Jade Slip, but her shocked face told him that he has agreed.

.. Fine, when do you want to head out? She gives up.

Right now!

Now? What about preparations? Is he ready to leave already?

Already done.

. Youve only been in this Sect for at most a few days, yet you want to leave already? What about your life as a disciple? She asks him.

Its not like were leaving forever. When I come back, Ill live here peacefully for a while. When he gets back, he will definitely live a quiet live as a disciple

"Then we need to rent a flying Treasure from the Sect... The distance from here to the Phoenixs Continent is millions of miles, making flying, not an option.

Flying Treasure? We dont need one, lets go outside. He walks outside, followed by Meng Xiang and Xuan Wanshan.

Once he reaches outside, he extends his hand, Spirit Gate, Open! He whispers in a soft voice.

The space in front of him cracks and shatters, revealing a Grand Gate within it!

The moment this Gate appears, the Spirit Power in the entire Jin Long Continent turns to chaos, waking up all the Cultivators from their Cultivation!

The Gate is 20 meters tall, with extremely complex looking engravings on it.

*Bang*

The Gate opens, and a shadow flies out, stopping right in front of Tian Yi.

A-a-a-a P-p-phoenix! Xuan Wanshan screams in shock, pointing at the 10 meters tall Phoenix sitting in front of Tian Yi, with its head bowing, almost touching the floor.

The Phoenixs entire body was engulfed in an Azure Colored Flame, with sharp Crystal Blue eyes!

Master, how can I serve you today? It talks to him with Divine Sense, with a females voice that sounded like melodies to the ears.
