My Informative Cultivation Life

"The power of the true disciples of the Dao Sect is beyond your imagination. They are the geniuses among geniuses, the seeds of the Mahayana. Such individuals, both in mind and strength, far surpass the ordinary. They reign supreme in their own Heavenly Domains, establishing forces and alliances. Within these domains, they are as the heavens themselves, with immense authority."

Steward Qin looked up wistfully, clearly envious.

"If the true disciples hold such great power, then what about the Dao Child?" someone inhaled deeply and asked.

"The Dao Child? They are seeds of a True Immortal, possessing their own small worlds with enormous fortune, willpower, and wisdom. They are the favored children of the heavens, with authority only second to the Sect Master."

As people inquired about these topics, Steward Qin showed no sign of impatience, but answered with enthusiasm, seemingly harboring similar aspirations in his heart.

"Are the Dao Children really that formidable?" everyone was astonished.

"Of course, they are formidable! Both the Dao Children and true disciples are currently beyond your reach; even the Inner Sect Disciples who own Immortal Mountains are beyond your grasp for now."

"Right now, you can't even consider yourselves disciples. Only after passing the first assessment can you barely qualify as disciples, and there's always the risk of failing the next assessment. You must calm your minds and focus," Steward Qin said.

The crowd nodded, their restless hearts gradually settling down.

At the moment, they needed to focus on passing the three assessments to remain in the Dao Sect forever; this was the top priority.

The group flew forward along the Immortal Mountain for ten-some miles until the terrain gradually opened up into a vast plain dotted with many buildings.

Steward Qin pointed and said,

"Do you see the continuous palaces down there? That's where you'll be staying for the time being. Those rooms emitting Spiritual Light are unoccupied. The Dao Sect Command Token in your hands is the key to one of those rooms, which you may choose and enter on your own."

Steward Qin added, "After you enter the rooms, there will be a Detection Array on the floor. It will assess your level of strength. Accordingly, your first assessment tasks will be assigned based on your strength."

"Golden Core Realm corresponds to Golden Core tasks, Nascent Soul Realm corresponds to Nascent Soul tasks."

"Don't think about using treasures or other means to conceal your cultivation level. Even if you fool the Detection Array, the Elders will personally verify in the end. If we find anyone hiding their true cultivation, they will be executed on the spot."

Hearing this, the crowd's faces turned solemn, and they abandoned any schemes they might have had in mind.

The Wuji Dao Sect had strict rules, and this place was no ordinary sect where they could act recklessly.

"The Detection Array inside the palace rooms is activated by the Dao Sect Command Token. Before you activate it, input your identity information into the Talisman Command. Then, you will receive your assigned tasks through the Talisman Command. During this period, all you need to do is wait patiently," Steward Qin said seriously.

"Thank you for informing us, brother. We understand," the crowd nodded and said.

"Hmm, good. Now go and find a room for yourselves. I have to go and guide the next batch of disciples coming to the Dao Sect," Steward Qin said and then turned to fly back.

The crowd watched Steward Qin's retreating figure, and then they turned their gaze toward the continuous palaces below.

At first glance, the end was not in sight. The buildings were constructed magnificently and bathed in radiance, draped in the distinguished color of yellow, resembling an Imperial Palace.

Yang Ji saw, at first glance, numerous fine materials used in those palaces—Crimson Yellow Stone, Vajra Wood, Spirit Fragrant Wood...

Embedded within were various Formations—the Spirit Gathering Array, Spatial Restriction, and the Detection Array.

What slightly surprised Yang Ji, however, was that each palace was in fact a Lower-grade Spiritual Artifact.

Sure enough, it was the Dao Sect. Even before becoming an official disciple, to have such palaces to live in was truly a grand and magnificent gesture.

Just these endless palaces alone were worth who knows how many Spirit Stones. At that moment, Yang Ji truly felt the strength of the Dao Sect.

Only such a sect with a foundation strong enough to foster Tribulation Immortals could truly nurture Immortals, he thought.

Yang Ji couldn't help but feel excited, his desire to stay at the Dao Sect growing even stronger.

After reining in his drifting thoughts, Yang Ji looked around and flew toward a palace situated at the edge.

The girl in sturdy attire watched his back, furrowing her brows thoughtfully, then took to the air and landed at a palace beside his.

Yang Ji smiled at her, chose an unoccupied room, and then pressed the Command Token in his hand against the stone door glowing with Spiritual Light. A suction force emerged, drawing him inside.

"This hot-house flower couldn't possibly have a will stronger than mine!"

The girl's brows were still furrowed as she glanced at the place where Yang Ji disappeared, unable to shake her doubts and unwilling to believe it.

She paused for a moment, then took out her Command Token like Yang Ji and entered the palace.

...

As soon as Yang Ji entered, he saw on the ground made of white jade stone a circular formation pattern with a diameter of about ten feet.

At the moment it was dark, which was precisely the "Detection Array."

He glanced at it, then began to survey the room.

The room wasn't large, presumably one of the enclosed meditation chambers, amply spacious for a single occupant.

Besides a cushion for sitting in meditation, there were no other furnishings, the simplicity was striking.

However, Yang Ji did notice a sphere of Spiritual Light floating inside the room that astonishingly contained two books.

He reached out to grab them, and the books fell into his hands.

These two turned out to be books that introduced the common knowledge of Infinity Dao Sect and the Cultivation World.

One was named 'Wuji Dao Sect,' the other 'Cultivation World.'

These books were presumably intentionally placed in the room by the Dao Sect, and other rooms should have them too.

Yang Ji's interest was piqued immediately; he took the cushion and sat down in the Detection Array.

While opening the books, he pressed the Dao Sect Command Token into the groove of the Detection Array.

Before coming to the Dao Sect, his personal information had already been input into the talisman command, so now he could just press it directly.

As soon as the command token fit into the formation, the Detection Array lit up.

At the same time, the Spirit Gathering Array was also activated – Spiritual Energy gathered in an instant, turning the room into a prime treasure land suitable for cultivation.

Yang Ji allowed the array's Spiritual Light to scan back and forth to detect his strength and realm, while he calmly read the books.

After a short while, he understood the general structure of the Infinity Dao Sect.

Foundation Establishment represented the Servant Disciples, Golden Core indicated the Outer Sect Disciples, and Nascent Soul True Monarchs were the Inner Sect Disciples.

As for True Disciples, it wasn't just about one's realm, but also potential; only those talents in the Divinity Transformation Realm could become True Disciples.

Those whose talents weren't particularly outstanding, but who had reached the Divinity Transformation Realm in strength and realm, would become Stewards.

Having read this far, Yang Ji somewhat understood that the purple-robed man and Brother Qin he had encountered before must be of this Steward rank.

These disciples, lacking the potential to become true inheritors, can still become Outer Sect Elders once they exert effort in cultivation and reach the Void Refining stage, or become Inner Sect Elders if they are fortunate enough to break through to the Fushion Realm.

This is the path to promotion for disciples of their type.

As for the talented disciples who are also in the Divinity Transformation Realm, as long as they pass the Sect's loyalty assessment, they can become True Disciples.

Such individuals are qualified to cultivate the Sect's most profound Cultivation Techniques and Divine Skills, further enhancing their foundations.

If they show sufficiently miraculous performance during this period, after breaking through Void Refining, they might become Dao Children.

Dao Children are fully nurtured by the Sect; these disciples are qualified to cultivate ninety percent of the Sect's Cultivation Techniques and Arts.

Once they break through Fushion, they gain the right to cultivate all the Sect's Techniques and Arts except Immortal Techniques and enjoy the rights second only to the Sect Master.

If they reach Mahayana, they're eligible to compete for the Sect Master position and can cultivate all Immortal Techniques.

It could be said that from an Outer Sect Disciple to a Dao Child, each promotion is extremely difficult, but each one represents an opportunity. If one can seize it, they may soar high on the path of immortality.

As for Yang Ji now, he didn't even count as an Outer Sect Disciple.

But based on his current strength, as long as he passes one assessment, he would become an Outer Sect Disciple.

However, it wasn't completely safe yet; only after truly passing three assessments could he become a true Disciple of the Dao Sect, stay forever within the Sect, and enjoy its benefits.

The Dao Sect sifts out the unqualified disciples through assessments, and those who can truly remain are the elite of the elite, the geniuses among geniuses.

The Dao Sect has over a million disciples, truly brimming with talent, but there are only one thousand True Disciples.

Yang Ji knew the path ahead was difficult.

But, it was filled with hope!
