Chapter 481: Assignment Hall

Without any hesitation, Shun Long walked directly towards the Assignment Hall's entrance where hundreds of other outer disciples were also coming and going from with every passing moment.

After walking through the enormous hall's 5-meter tall gates, a bustling scene appeared in front of Shun Long's and Liu Mei's eyes.

With just a glance, more than 1000 outer disciples all dressed in yellow robes, were followed by their own followers as they filled the interior of the Assignment Hall.

Unlike the Administration Hall, the Assignment Hall didn't have too many counters, but each one of them was operated by an outer disciple.

The busiest one seemed to be the huge 'Exchange counter' in the center of the hall, that had 3 outer disciples working behind it at the same time. A huge row of disciples or their followers were queued up in front of this counter, as they all handed in their missions and obtained their rewards.

It was obvious that this Exchange counter was the place where one could hand in the missions that they had already completed in exchange for sect points.

In sharp contrast to the Exchange counter was the Registration counter that was erected right next to it.  There was only a single outer disciple working behind this counter, while only a handful of outer disciples were queued up in front of it.

Shun Long had originally thought that he and Liu Mei would have to register themselves in the Registration counter, but a few moments later he realized that that was not the case.

The registration counter accepted the missions that a disciple wanted to list, and listed them along with the sect's missions, on the huge Mission board behind the Exchange counter.

At that moment, Shun Long's and Liu Mei's eyes were both focused on the enormous Mission board that had hundreds of outer disciples in front of it, before Shun Long walked closer towards it.

The moment that his eyes landed on the Mission board, Shun Long immediately noticed the first words written on it causing a wave of realization to fill his heart

''Rules: Missions are split into 3 types, personal missions, faction missions, and disciple missions.

Every disciple must complete at least one D-rank personal mission every 3 months, or 4 D-rank missions every year, otherwise, there will be a punishment meted out from the Enforcement Hall.

Every disciple can freely accept any mission regardless of its level without any limitations.

After completing a mission, it must be handed in at the Exchange Hall to receive the corresponding rewards.

During personal missions, you are not allowed to receive the help of anyone else, including other members of your faction.

During faction missions, you are not allowed to receive the help of anyone else, aside from members of your own faction.''

''So personal missions are the ones that Elder Zhuan mentioned that we need to complete every month, but we are not allowed to receive any help while completing them. I guess this is also a test from the sect, trying to hone its disciples.''

As this thought flashed through his mind, Shun Long continued reading what was written on the Mission board, causing his eyes to slowly widen in astonishment at the same time

''Mission Rankings: Missions are split into 5 different colors corresponding to their own ranks, each of them representing the difficulty of each mission. The colors are split into yellow, orange, red, blue, and purple.

Yellow D-rank --> A cultivation level at the middle stages of the Nascent Soul is required to complete these missions.

Orange C-rank--> A cultivation level at the late stages of the Nascent Soul is required to complete these missions.

Red B-rank -----> A cultivation level at the peak of the Nascent Soul or at the early stages of the Dao King realm is required to complete these missions.

Blue A-rank ----> A cultivation level at the middle stages of the Dao King realm is required to complete these missions.

Purple S-rank --> A cultivation level at the late stages of the Dao King realm is the minimum requirement to complete these missions.''

Shun Long was stunned when he noticed that even the weakest D-rank missions needed a cultivation level at the middle stages of the Nascent Soul, while at the same time, he also noticed that the description of the S-rank missions was somewhat different from the previous mission ranks descriptions.

Unlike the A-rank missions, the S-rank missions stated that the 'minimum requirement' to complete an S-rank mission was a cultivation level at the late stages of the Dao King realm, which Shun Long assumed that meant, that even a late-stage Dao King may not necessarily be able to complete an S-rank mission successfully.

This caused a wave of shock to fill Shun Long's heart as he clearly remembered that even the outer court Elder that had guided them through the sect a week ago, Elder Zhuan, was still at the peak of the Dao King realm!

''Did this mean that even Elders can accept sect missions, or that there are actually disciples at the late stages of the Dao King within the sect?''

Shun Long found himself shocked when he reached the second possibility.

Although he wasn't afraid of a late-stage Dao King even if he couldn't fight one just yet, he was certain that his cultivation in the future would easily reach the level of a Dao Emperor and it would even exceed that.

However, having disciples at the late stages of the Dao King within the sect was still something shocking, as even the strongest cultivators within the Night star continent were only at the peak of the Dao King realm as well.

This caused Shun Long to reevaluate the strength of the Holy sect in his heart.

''I suppose that this is why every single peak power of the Night star continent, and even from the surrounding continents around it, did everything they can to send their descendants or their disciples to become disciples of the Holy sect! The strength of the central region is simply incomparable to the surrounding continents in the end.''

As Shun Long had this thought, he continued to read further below and decide which mission he was going to choose for himself, as well as take a look at the faction missions that he needed to complete and their rewards.
