Reincarnated With A System In A Cultivation World

I already had a glimpse of the entire sect. While the place that I was in was called the outer sect, it actually was just a corner of the sect that occupied the least amount of space. Near the boundary of the outer sect and the inner sect was a chasm.

This path, of sorts, was dotted with buildings. But each building was so much more apart than I had thought. I was heading over to the largest one, but there was nothing else in sight.

"For a missions hall, this place seems a bit too barren, doesn't it?" I thought to myself.

I looked back. I could not see Hi Juntan anywhere, but certainly, he was still on my trail. That much was sure. He wouldn't just quit and let someone like me get away, would he?

I approached the building. Calling it a building would be an understatement. It was a palace, that was for sure.

"Isn't master the sect master? Shouldn't he be in a palace like this? Too bad, all I could see was a dark room. It would have been nice to see what it would be like to be the sect master." I thought.

The entrance of the marble palace was huge, and there was no plaque like for the Pavilion of Dreams. I walked into the palace.

"Stop! Who are you?!" a voice froze me in my tracks.

"I am Liu Feng. I am a new disciple of the outer sect." I said, trying to figure out where this voice was coming from.

"Liu Feng? Interesting. You are the boy that Liu Qian is raising, aren't you?" the voice chuckled.

"You know my father?" I was surprised.

"Many here do. But you are not supposed to be here. It looks like your luck is quite bad. On your first day here, you are going to go to the punishment hal- What? Fine. Nothing. Just do not come here until you are permitted to do so." the voice stopped all of a sudden, and pushed me back three steps, outside the palace.

"What happened there? The voice stopped in the middle and forgave me. This is too suspicious." I wondered.

Looking around, this place was truly too barren. There was not a person in sight. Even Hi Juntan, who I thought would have reached me by now, wasn't anywhere near me.

"I guess I thought wrong. Why would the largest building around be some mysterious palace that has no apparent use?"

I changed my direction and headed to the next building that I knew had to be the missions hall. In five minutes, I finally entered civilization again.

​ There were people all around me, bustling, and not a single one cared about my existence. There was not a single new disciple here, and all the old ones did not care enough look at me.

"Finally. This is how it should be." I smiled as I headed into the missions hall. There was a grand plaque on the hall with the same words, so I knew that I was right where I wanted to be.

While the outside of the building looked small, the missions hall was much, much bigger on the inside. It was certainly a huge hall, that was for certain.

The way that it operated reminded me of the wall street broker hall that they showed on TV. It was just too busy. There were people talking everywhere, and people leaving to go complete their missions.

I went to one of the counters, with a young girl at the helm. She looked like she was my age.

"Identity Token," she asked blandly.

"My identity token? Yes!" I took out the token from my spatial ring and handed it to the young girl. She did not seem to have any cultivation at all. I wondered how sects recruited people so young for jobs like these.

I was under the impression that the only young people who frequented sects were the ones who wanted to become cultivators.

"You are a new disciple. Why are you coming to the mission hall?" the girl disrupted my line of thought.

"Yes, I am a new disciple. But I thought that if I got enough contribution points, then I would be able to use it later. I have nothing to do here anyway." I said, smiling.

"What do you mean, you have nothing to do. You are a new disciple. For the first few months, you will have classes from the elders. Don't tell me you didn't know about that? The elder in charge of your batch must have told you." the girl looked at me with a surprised look.

"Actually, I was not there are the whole introduction. I was... elsewhere." I said.

"And no one told you about these classes? Why did you come here in the first place? This is when you will learn the most important stuff. You will be able to break through your bottlenecks, and even try to comprehend the profound dao. I wonder what is with one or two odd ones in every batch." the girl shook her head.

"Where is this happening then? I need to go there right away. I already missed so much!" I asked, trying to keep my rage contained. No one told me. Not my master, not anyone around me, no one.

"The Dragon Gate. You can ask around. Next!" the girl called, and a tall man walked up. I moved to the side, confounded.

"I was missing way too much. I should have known this much, much before. Now, I need to find out where the dragon gate is." I ran out of the missions hall, and tried asking one of the disciples just standing there.

"Senior brother, do you know where the dragon gate is?" I asked.

"The dragon gate? Why are you asking for that? You are a new disciple, aren't you? I have never seen you around." the person I asked looked at me with interest.
