System's Super Sect Chapter 912 - 856: Is the Immortal Sect Deceiving Everyone?

Newly joined disciples bustled in and out of the Sect Task Hall, hurrying to finish their tasks the moment they grabbed them.

Some tasks could be handled right inside the Sect.

Of course, others demanded heading out beyond the Sect.

On her way out of the Sect, Ye Wumei ran into a few fresh recruits and Yang Lele.

Yang Lele thought well of this hardworking junior sister tackling Sect tasks with such zeal, so spotting Ye Wumei, he paused and inquired, "Junior Sister Ye, how many points have you racked up?"

"Senior Brother Yang!"

Ye Wumei quickly offered her greeting.

She then replied, "More than eighty points already; today I picked up a task worth 20 points. Finishing it will get me there."

"Impressive!" Yang Lele commended, exuding senior brother vibes.

Ye Wumei meant to say goodbye right away, yet she couldn’t resist asking, "Senior Brother Yang, once I hit 100 Sect Task Points, what’s the next step?"

Ye Wumei posed the question cautiously.

Yang Lele grinned and answered, "Junior Sister Ye, savor these days while you can, for a brand new chapter awaits after finishing the task!"

At the same time, Yang Lele shot a knowing glance at the nearby new disciples, aiming his words at them too.

The disciples nodded, half-grasping it, their faces lit with subtle joy.

Even without cultivating lately, they’d picked up some knowledge about the Immortal Sect.

Sword Control Skill!

Fire Control!

Maneuvering Cold Ice!

Driving Storm!

These arts came easy in the Immortal Sect, yet remained unseen in the wider world.

Merely imagining amassing enough Sect Task Points to dive into these techniques sparked a secret thrill in their hearts.

After light banter, Ye Wumei departed the Sect via the Teleportation Array.

She landed at the Azure Abyss Pool!

Sect Task: Hunt down the Celestial Materials Elder Zi Ran needs from the Azure Abyss Pool - Colorless Stone.

Colorless Stone, exclusive to the Azure Abyss Pool!

Lurking deep in the Azure Abyss Pool!

Spotting them proved no easy feat, since they held zero color.

Nearby items mirrored their hues, rendering them tough to pick out by eye alone.

Perception might pinpoint the Colorless Stone sharp and clear, but deploying it would alert the Demons lurking under the Azure Abyss Pool.

Demons swarmed below the Azure Abyss Pool!

Some among them were even Demon Gods!

Right as Ye Wumei geared up to dive in, a voice suddenly hailed her from nearby.

"Ye Wumei!"

Ye Wumei whipped around at once.

The group burst out, "It’s really her!"

"Didn’t the Ye Family claim you cleared the Master’s Dao Maze and became an Immortal Sect disciple? What brings you back here?"

Ye Wumei beamed brightly at her old companions, holding nothing back, and openly shared, "I grabbed a Sect task, so I’m heading down to snag a few Colorless Stones."

"Why bother with Sect tasks right now? The Seven Domains Celestial Ascension Ranking kicks off in just over two months. You’ve got too much free time."

"Ye, you’ve got better luck than us, making it into the Immortal Sect. Treasure that chance—the Seven Domains Celestial Ascension Ranking looms close. We’re rooting for you to crack the top hundred!"

A couple of friends gave Ye Wumei sincere counsel.

Ye Wumei offered a wry smile, aware they’d misread her task motives, then clarified, "Well, here’s the thing: every disciple entering the Sect faces the same drill; we dive into tasks post-admission to build up points, since loads of Sect Cultivation Lands demand those task points for entry. Hehe, I’ve grinded tasks non-stop for seven or eight days now, nearly hitting the mark on Sect Task Points. Grab the Colorless Stone, and I can kick off cultivation. Then watch me shine on the Seven Domains Celestial Ascension Ranking!"

Ye Wumei grinned at her pals, swapped more chit-chat, bid them adieu, and plunged solo into the Azure Abyss Pool.

To steer clear of rousing the Demon Race, Ye Wumei limited her perception to a ten-zhang radius, letting her hunt Colorless Stones in the Azure Abyss Pool sans bothering the Demons.

Naturally, nothing ever sailed so smoothly.

The moment she sensed her first Colorless Stone, Ye Wumei crossed paths with a Mountain Suppression Realm Demon—luckily wounded. Snatching the Colorless Stone proved a heart-pounding chase, but Ye Wumei slipped out of the Azure Abyss Pool unscathed.

Clutching the Colorless Stone, Ye Wumei rushed straight back to the Sect.

Unbeknownst to her, right then, wild rumors about Ye Wumei started blazing through.

"Listen up, getting into the Immortal Sect doesn’t let you cultivate on day one. Figured cultivation there was gratis? Nope, Sect Task Points rule everything. No points, no cultivation. Take my pal Ye Wumei—she made Immortal Sect, big deal? Seven or eight days in, still slaving on Sect tasks. Seven Domains Celestial Ascension Ranking’s breathing down necks, and she ain’t got enough points for cultivation yet. Immortal Sect’s all smoke, boasting they’ll mold Red Domain’s top hundred in three months—sounds epic. But nah, they’re just burning time on chores."

"I reckon Immortal Sect’s just padding numbers to grow big. Red Domain top hundred? Total baloney."

Spurred by Ye Wumei’s two friends’ chat, this tale exploded everywhere.

Like wildfire.

Affiliates of Red Leaf Sect caught wind and fanned the flames, shipping the news up to Red Leaf Sect.

...

Red Leaf Sect.

In merely seven days, Red Leaf Sect scooped up one or two thousand promising talents, counting four or fifty Mountain Suppression Realm powerhouses.

Thanks to the perks of enlisting with Red Leaf Sect, droves of gifted folks kept flocking in, even elite prodigies from Mountain Suppression’s Lower Realm.
