Time passed bit by bit, and after a full two hours, the battles on the ten arenas finally concluded.

The ten spots for successfully passing the assessment were officially announced, and Fang Hong, without a doubt, was among them.

It is worth mentioning that, apart from Fang Hong, the other nine were all Cultivators at the Peak Immortal King stage, each possessing a powerful Aura.

Elder Sun Cheng raised his hand, and all the humanoid puppets scattered across the ten arenas instantly transformed into streams of light, flying back into his body.

Subsequently, he waved his hand again, tearing open a spatial rift.

Although the Cultivators who failed the assessment showed reluctance, they could only comply with the rules, stepping into the rift one after another, leaving Qing Yun Pavilion.

"Congratulations to everyone who successfully passed the assessment. From now on, you are officially Elders of my Dao sect."

"Now, follow me to the Dao sect headquarters to handle registration and other related matters."

As soon as his voice fell, Elder Sun Cheng, along with Elder Huang Da beside him, once again opened a wider spatial rift.

The two of them flew in first, and Fang Hong and the other nine newly promoted Elders immediately followed, stepping into that spatial rift together.

The moment they passed through the spatial rift, an Immortal Qi several times denser than that in Qing Yun Pavilion rushed towards them.

The Everyone stabilized themselves and looked intently, realizing they were now at the peak of a majestic and towering mountain.

Not far ahead, a magnificent hall was built against the mountain. Its eaves curved upwards, and it was adorned with carved beams and painted rafters, exuding solemnity and grandeur everywhere.

Around the main hall, continuous mountains rose and fell, with clouds and mist swirling among them—truly a fairyland.

The dense Immortal Qi condensed into white mist in the air. With each breath, they could feel the Immortal power rapidly circulating within their bodies.

Deep within the white mist, various styles of palaces and tall buildings could be vaguely seen scattered among the mountains.

Some floated in the clouds, others were embedded in the mountainside, all exuding extraordinary grandeur. This was the headquarters and main gate of the Dao sect.

Elder Sun Cheng and Elder Huang Da led Fang Hong and the other ten people slowly into the main hall ahead.

The hall was brightly lit, and its furnishings were simple yet grand.

A disciple dressed in Grand Unity Realm attire was on duty in the hall. Seeing the Elders arrive, he immediately stood up, bowed, and greeted them.

Elder Sun Cheng instructed this disciple to process identity tokens for Fang Hong and the others, and to register their names one by one in the Dao sect’s core roster.

Before long, the disciple handed ten identity tokens to the Everyone.

Fang Hong took his identity token. From this moment, he officially became an ordinary Elder in the Dao sect.

Just as everyone were examining their identity tokens, Elder Sun Cheng suddenly looked at Fang Hong and asked, "Fang Hong, why do you want to join the Dao sect?"

Fang Hong was slightly startled by this, not expecting Elder Sun Cheng to suddenly ask this question.

He answered truthfully without any hesitation.

"I want to learn more profound Dao Techniques and Dao Techniques to improve my Cultivation."

"I thought as much." Elder Sun Cheng nodded, a knowing smile appearing on his face.

"The Dao sect’s various Dao Techniques and Dao Techniques are all stored in the Scripture Pavilion. With your Elder identity token, you can freely enter the pavilion to consult them. I believe the classics inside will not disappoint you."

Elder Sun Cheng continued, "You have just joined the Dao sect, and currently, you are all ordinary Elders."

"Above this, there are Core Elders, and Grand Elders. This is the hierarchy of Elders in the Dao sect."

"According to the Dao sect’s rules, ordinary Elders are required to complete a certain number of Dao sect tasks each year to contribute to the Dao sect."

"Here are some tasks suitable for ordinary Elders. Each of you select one, and complete it as required in the future."

After Elder Sun Cheng finished speaking, a gentle smile appeared on his face, and he then took out an ancient token from his sleeve.

He lightly tossed the token, which floated in mid-air, instantly projecting a massive light screen.

The light screen displayed a variety of tasks, clearly presented before the Everyone’ eyes.

The Everyone looked intently, seeing that the tasks listed were diverse, covering all aspects of sect affairs.

Some required refining one hundred thousand basic Immortal Pills for the sect each year.

Some required crafting one hundred basic Immortal Artifacts each year.

There were also tasks such as teaching Dao Techniques to disciples within the sect, traveling to various places to recruit talented disciples, and so on, all of which were responsibilities that ordinary Elders needed to undertake.

"The Dao sect will provide you with excellent Cultivation grounds, as well as various precious Dao Techniques and Dao Techniques classics for your study."

"As Elders of the Dao sect, it is only right to make some contributions within your capabilities."

"You do not need to find these tasks tedious. Once you successfully advance to the Immortal Emperor Realm and become Core Elders, you will be exempt from these daily tasks."

"But before that, tasks that need to be completed must still be done according to the rules," Elder Sun Cheng gently admonished.

Fang Hong’s gaze quickly swept across the task list on the light screen.

He soon locked onto the alchemy task—refining one hundred thousand basic Immortal Pills for the Dao sect each year.

For the current Fang Hong, one hundred thousand basic Immortal Pills were merely a trivial matter.

With his alchemy skills and speed, he could complete it to Perfection in just a few days at most, without delaying his Cultivation time.

Fang Hong had even thought of it already: in the future, he could refine some humanoid puppets specifically for alchemy.

By teaching the alchemy techniques and processes to the puppets, and letting the puppets complete these repetitive tasks on his behalf, he wouldn’t have to bother with these tasks, and could focus on Cultivation, which was the Righteous Path.

After confirming their respective tasks, Elder Sun Cheng and Elder Huang Da did not linger.

Their figures flickered, and they drifted away like free-floating clouds, leaving Fang Hong and the others to move freely in the main hall and familiarize themselves with the Dao sect’s environment.

After the Everyone dispersed, Fang Hong did not delay for a moment, heading straight to the Scripture Pavilion.

The Dao sect’s Scripture Pavilion contained a vast collection of profound Dao Techniques and Dao Techniques, and he had been thinking about this matter all along.

Now that he was an Elder, he finally had the qualification to enter the pavilion and consult the texts, so he was naturally eager to explore it.

The other nine newly promoted Elders, however, all headed towards the core area of the Dao sect.

They aimed to choose a mountain peak with abundant Immortal Qi and superior terrain, to establish their exclusive Cultivation Immortal Cave, so as to better strive for the Immortal Emperor Realm.

Fang Hong looked down at the identity token in his hand. With a thought, a simplified map of the Dao sect appeared on the identity token.

The map clearly marked the locations of various important places, and the whereabouts of the Scripture Pavilion were also clear at a glance.

The Dao sect’s territory was extremely vast, with mountains and rivers crisscrossing, and palaces and towers scattered like stars.

If one were to rely solely on flying to travel from one place to another, it would take an unknown amount of time.

Fortunately, a large number of teleportation arrays were set up within the Dao sect, distributed across all important areas.

Normally, when Dao sect disciples and Elders traveled, they could quickly reach their destinations by using the teleportation arrays, which was very convenient.
