191 The Strange Disciples of the Divine Gate
After leaving the clinic, Zhou Yun headed west. Along the way, he noticed a few people who were dressed the same as him, but their attire was slightly different from the disciples in the 105th outer gate section.
Zhou Yun thought about it and realized they were the disciples of the five upright sects. After all, it had been seven days. Only the most severely unconscious disciples were in a coma. By the looks of it, quite a few of the five sects’ disciples should have awakened as well.
Because Zhou Yun had not intentionally restored his appearance, the disciples of the five sects did not notice the drastically changed Zhou Yun and walked past him.
Zhou Yun looked at them. He did not choose to acknowledge them but continued to walk toward the West.
!!
“There seems to be more people. Is there some kind of activity here?” Zhou Yun realized that the further west he went, the more cultivators he encountered. Furthermore, more and more golden core cultivators began to appear in the place where foundation establishment cultivators had gathered!
These cultivators didn’t choose to fly or ride on demonic beasts like in other places. Everyone here was walking forward and blocking the entrance of the street ahead.
It was only one street, but the number of cultivators was so great that they were packed shoulder to shoulder, almost blocking the intersection. And more than half of them were in the golden core stage!
“So many people! And they didn’t choose to fly, but instead squeezed at this intersection? Could it be that something is really going to happen?” If Zhou Yun wasn’t paying attention, he would be squeezed by more and more people behind him. He couldn’t advance or retreat!
No one around them made a sound. They all stared at the huge plaque in front of them and waited quietly. Zhou Yun looked over and saw that it was a gilded plaque. However, there was not a single word on it!
“Let’s wait and see. Maybe we can find out what problems there are in the Divine Gate.” On his way here, other than the cultivators who were hurrying along, Zhou Yun did not see them stop to talk, nor did he see any cultivators stop in their tracks. It seemed that they all had
They had the same goal, and they could not delay.
Outside the outer gate section, there were restaurants and entertainment facilities. Almost all of them were courtyards. All the courtyards formed the landscape of the outer gate section.
Every courtyard had a concealment array, so cultivators could fly over the eaves, walk on the walls, step on the air, or ride on relatively tall mounts.
It was a very suitable place for cultivators to gather. Zhou Yun looked over and clicked his tongue in wonder.
However, Zhou Yun felt that the strangest thing was that in every courtyard along the way, other than the restaurants, there was not a single bit of city air in this outer array. All the courtyards had their doors closed, and none of them had attendants welcoming guests.
“It’s strange. Everyone I saw was so hospitable and kind, but they are in such a hurry, and their behavior is exactly the same as what I saw. In this outer gate section, it’s as if everyone has been divided into small individuals, and there’s no interaction at all!” A strange feeling seemed to be spreading in Zhou Yun’s heart.
On his way to such a crowded place, he didn’t see a single cultivator greeting him. It was as if these cultivators didn’t know each other and had nothing to do with each other.
“Buzz!” Suddenly, the gilded plaque hanging on a slightly larger building suddenly made a sound.
“Buzz!” The moment the sound was heard, all the cultivators raised the tokens in their hands to the sky in unison!
Zhou Yun was stunned. He realized that everyone’s actions were in unison! Even though his hands were moving quickly, his eyes were still fixed on the gilded plaque!
Zhou Yun hesitated for a moment. Then, like the others, he raised the token that he had just obtained.
“Buzz!” The gilded plaque made a second sound, and this time, Zhou Yun could see the words slowly appearing on it!
“Level 1 mission: explore ancient ruins. The minimum cultivation level requirement is the golden core stage. 5 points a day.
“Level 1 mission: find yellow-grade herbs. The minimum cultivation level requirement is the foundation establishment stage. 2 points per day. For every yellow-grade herb found, you will gain 1 point.”
Two lines of text appeared on the gilded plaque at the same time.
Immediately after, Zhou Yun discovered that the sky had suddenly changed.
The sky that was originally colorless was now dyed with a faint golden color!
To Zhou Yun’s surprise, the faint golden light seemed to have changed the entire outer gate section. Dozens of outer gate sections were completely covered by the five-sided pillar!
“It has enveloped the entire five-sided pillar. It turns out that the five-sided pillar is the same as the shard on the Divine Gate cone, it has always been shrouded in golden light! But why did this golden light suddenly appear?” Just as Zhou Yun was feeling puzzled, he had found the answer!
The golden light curtain in the sky extended into thin golden lines. Almost a thousand golden lines instantly descended from the sky and connected to the tokens that were held high in the hands!
Zhou Yun discovered that the token in his hand had also been connected to the golden light!
“Buzz!” The plaque shook. Below the two lines of words, hundreds of names appeared. At the same time, Zhou Yun noticed that many of the people around him had their tokens marked with a dot by the golden light.
Zhou Yun’s name did not appear on the gilded plaque, and his token did not have a dot.
“I see.” Zhou Yun seemed to have understood the use of the golden light. The token was like a mobile terminal. The golden light was the internet. Through the golden light, the disciples could quickly complete the task handover!
“So, I didn’t receive a mission?” Zhou Yun was stunned. He realized that the cultivators who had received the mission were starting to leave the street.
“Buzz!” Suddenly, the plaque made another sound, and another word appeared on it. It was a golden core stage and a foundation establishment stage task.
“Level 2 mission: kill and protect the demonic beasts outside the sect. The minimum cultivation level requirement is the foundation establishment stage. One point per day. Killing a demonic beast will give you an additional point.
This time, there were hundreds of names on the line of words. Zhou Yun found his name among them!
“As expected, a dot also appeared on my token!” Zhou Yun retracted his raised hand. He realized that a dot had appeared on the token, but the color of the dot was different from the first mission.
“Is the mission complete now? How do I complete the mission?” Zhou Yun looked around and saw a cultivator who had just put down his hand and had a kind face. After some thought, he walked over.
Perhaps he could find the reason for the strange behavior of the Divine Gate by completing the mission.
Furthermore, he really wanted to know how difficult it would be to obtain the 1,000 points that Yi Wuyin had mentioned and how much was the 2,000 points awarded by City Lord Gu worth.
