Chapter 767: 761, A New Task One Month Later (Second Update) "Another task."
To be honest, he really doesn’t want to undertake another journey mission now!
Even though the rewards are generous.
But he’s worried that what he fears will happen, so he quickly dispels his thoughts.
[Task—Settle in a New World]
[The Immortal Sect has accumulated enough reputation at the Heaven and Earth Lake, and enough people know of its fame. Hence, the Sect must expand outward, leaving the well’s bottom.]
[Task Objective: Construct the entrance to the Immortal Sect’s mountain gate at Heaven-Gazing Gorge]
[Task Reward: Sect Development Explosion]
[Task Start Countdown: 29 days 23 hours 59 minutes]
[Failure Penalty: Sect Development Regress]
Seeing the new task before him, Wen Ping breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, the system is quite humane.
It gave him a month.
It’s just that he doesn’t quite understand what the Sect Development Explosion reward means.
"What is the Sect Development Explosion reward?"
The system responded, "During a Sect Development Explosion, everyone in the Sect, from the Sect Leader to ordinary disciples, receives a significant boost in comprehension ability, luck, and more. At the same time, there is a high chance to upgrade buildings or create new ones with unlimited consecutive free upgrades. In short, the longer the Sect Development Explosion lasts, the better it is for the Sect. It’s possible that things others can’t achieve in a thousand years, the Immortal Sect might accomplish in just a year during the explosion."
"And what about the Sect Development Regress?"
"Unlike the explosion, the regress results in reduced comprehension, decreased luck, and numerous bottlenecks in cultivation for Sect members. At the same time, upgrading or building new structures becomes highly restricted, with costs potentially doubling or even increasing a hundredfold. During the regress, what other Sects might accomplish in a year, the Immortal Sect might not achieve in a thousand."
Devil!
Definitely a devil!
This task’s failure penalty is truly terrifying.
Wen Ping couldn’t help but ask curiously, "Is it difficult to construct a mountain gate entrance at Heaven-Gazing Gorge?"
"Not difficult. But to secure the mountain gate entrance is not an easy task. According to available data, every piece of land at Heaven-Gazing Gorge belongs to someone, all affiliated with You Country. If the host forcibly occupies it, you will face not only the owner’s attacks but also the onslaught from You Country. With the current overall strength of the Immortal Sect, it cannot withstand You Country’s offensive."
"That’s why it’s challenging. These are minor issues; if I can’t forcibly take it, can’t I buy it?"
"Data shows that any force, big or small, at Heaven-Gazing Gorge must pay tribute to You Country. This is something the system does not permit!"
"So If I establish a mountain gate at Heaven-Gazing Gorge, openly recruit people without paying tribute, it’s equivalent to opposing all of You Country."
Wen Ping finally understood where the difficulty lay.
But fortunately, the task start date is in a month.
During this time, he can still accomplish many things.
"When the car reaches the mountain, there will be a way!"
Wen Ping immediately rode his flying sword towards Tingyu Pavilion.
Since the Heaven and Earth Transformation is complete, it’s time to construct new buildings.
"The Immortal Sect now has a thousand mountains, and special buildings can’t be clustered on one peak anymore."
Wen Ping opened the construction interface and selected the new building he had long prepared to create.
Mage Tower!
When the previous task was called Magic Invasion, Wen Ping had considered creating a magic system.
Now, the Immortal Sect has Vein Technique and Magic, but magic still has to be acquired through films, so a building for learning magic is needed.
[Mage Tower]
[Construction Cost: 15,000 White Crystals]
[Construction Time: 48 hours]
[Construction Limitation: No special buildings within 500 meters]
"Construct!"
With that, Wen Ping also added three dormitory areas and a few more Fierce Beast Trial Grounds to ensure the Sect disciples’ daily accommodation and practical cultivation.
After all this, news also came from the Demon Race.
The system notified that two cloaked experts from the Demon Emperor Lake had encountered the Demon Race.
...
Demon Realm.
In front of the Demon Ancestor Cliff, a huge black Ghost Bat was entangled with Shifeng.
Every attack Shifeng launched was suppressed by the Ghost Bat, making life unbearable.
He hadn’t felt so frustrated since becoming a Ten-tailed Fox.
