Chapter 602: Joining the Sky Shifting Sect (2/2)

”And this is a clan member of another branch, Iarlen Rermil.”

Krune and Iem nodded before complimenting them.

”Is that okay for your Clan to let you join another power? Won't the Sky Shifting Sect deny you entry if they find out too?”

Sudilo laughed after hearing that question.

”There is no problem. At the moment, the Sky Shifting Sect doesn't have any other choice other than accepting any help they can. It's a win-win situation. We help them defend and conquer the mountain range area while our cultivation speeds up. After everything is over, we can just leave, or perhaps they will send us away by themselves. Regardless, it will take several years before that happens. That's more than enough time to enjoy that place. As for our Clan, it was our elders who asked us to come. After all, it's an excellent opportunity to both cultivate and gain combat experience.”

Krune and Iem nodded. It seemed like neither side cared too much about it at the moment. The five of them conversed for a while as more and more participants teleported close to them. Obviously, those were the ones who passed the test. At some point, Tulike also appeared there.

”Oh, there you are.”

Krune and Iem smiled at him.

Finally, one hour went by, and everyone who was still inside the battlefields was sent back to Capivari City straight away. Not long after, Galut appeared in front of everyone once more. He then pointed at a particular building in the distance and started to talk.

”It seems like you were the good ones this time around. I'll give you two choices now. If you come just for the Top Quality Godly Energy Veins and Godly Stones, there will be no need to continue this test. You can simply register as a combatant and teleport there straight away. Just go to the registration office there. Once the war is over, you are free to leave if you want. Obviously, those won't have many duties but won't receive any help from the sect either. Well, it shouldn't be a problem for most of you since you definitely believe your own strength.”

Right after elder Galut said those words, around 90% of the cultivators and demon beasts went straight to the place he mentioned before. Sure enough, most of them already have backgrounds and only came here for the chance to cultivate in the mountain range. The Rermil Clan's group also did the same.

Sudilo noticed that Krune and Iem weren't moving and couldn't help but ask.

”Aren't you going to the registration office?”

”No. We want to hear what the second option is. We will decide what to do after that.”

Sudilo nodded and then went away with his group.

Elder Galut wasn't the least bit impressed by those cultivators and demon beasts who left. If anything, he was quite surprised that around 10% of them remained behind. It was more than he expected.

”Very well. The second option is to join the Sky Shifting Sect as a real member. You will be able to use our name to acquire resources as long as you have the merit points for it. You will also be allowed to use our formations and get other advantages. As long as you perform well, your position in the sect will grow too.”

”However, although there are several advantages, there will also be several duties you must take. Since we are in a time of war, most of the missions will be related to it. Of course, your rewards will be much bigger than those who left earlier. You will receive a token that will be bound to your Divine Sense. You can use it to accumulate the merit points necessary for your needs.”

”Also, different from the others earlier, you won't be able to refuse the sect's missions. They will be a lot more dangerous too. Of course, the sect won't simply send you to die. The missions during this wartime will be based on your cultivation level and strength.”

”Is there any question?”

Krune raised his hand.

”I don't have a background as the majority. But I do have my own restaurant since I'm a Spiritual Chef. Will I be allowed to use my free time outside to carry it on, or must I stay in the sect all times? If yes, what is the length of free time between each mission?”

Galut was surprised to hear that. Spiritual Chefs usually don't like combat. However, he saw that Krune far surpassed those at the same level. That was quite a rare combination. But he was more interested in the prospect that Krune might really not have a background.

”Don't worry. The way you use your free time is up to you. As for the intervals between missions, you will have one year after you finish one. You can leave the sect during that time or cultivate here, we don't care. As long as you don't betray the sect, the sect won't hold you down either. Of course, you can take another mission any time after you finish the previous one if you want. That way, you can accumulate merit points faster.”

Krune nodded and didn't talk anymore. That's all he needed to know.

Other cultivators and demon beasts also made a few questions of their own. Galut and the other elders answered each one calmly, not hiding the pros and cons of anything. History showed that, generally, deceiving new members never led to good outcomes in the end. Hence, they made sure everyone understood what they were applying for.

Some cultivators and demon beasts also decided to leave after their doubts were clear, but that had nothing to do with Krune and Iem. By the end of the conversation, they decided to join the Sky Shifting Sect. Of course, they still had to go through a few more tests after that. But with their levels, those tests were easy to pass.
