281 Revenge (1/2)
”Haha... Brother Fang, you're really lucky that Elder Smelter admires you!”
As soon as they walked out of the hall, Feng Xinzi congratulated Fang Yuan. ”From today onwards, we will be an alliance. Remember to look out for each other!”
He felt that Fang Yuan was his lucky star and it was fate that they met each other.
After knowing Fang Yuan, he not only obtained large amounts of rare spiritual plants, he also had the karma flower now.
”Please guide me along with your invaluable experience!”
Fang Yuan knew that although the Realm Alliance was not as strict, there were different factions within the alliance. Elder Smelter and Feng Xinzi were of a faction and now, Fang Yuan was part of it too.
Of course, it was a good thing that someone was there to guide him through as soon as he joined the alliance and therefore, he would not reject the help given.
”Of course!”
Feng Xinzi quickly agreed. ”The requirements to enter the Realm Alliance is the least. The only thing we ask of you is not to betray the alliance and not to fight against our fellow alliance mates. Also, you just have to complete a mission every once in a while. You will sign an agreement with the witness of the Realm Spirit and anyone who breaks the agreement will be hunted down by every dream master alive and will be denied entry into the Dream Realm!”
He explained in detail and Fang Yuan gained more understanding of the organisation structure and the powers in the Realm Alliance.
Since the Realm Alliance was formed from scattered groups of dream masters in the past, there were no sects and physical headquarters; everything was in the Dream Realm.
In the alliance, the ones with the most power were the Elders Association. It was known that the association was formed by a group of 7th Tier Illusionary Divine dream masters. There was an official Alliance Leader who had already entered the Prominent Divine Stage and was the heart of the Realm Alliance.
Below them were cultivators ranked from 1st Leaf to 7th Leaf, and the varying ranks would have different levels of authority and treatment.
A normal dream master who just joined the alliance would have to start as a 1st Leaf Cultivator and complete missions to rise up the ranks.
Fang Yuan had directly entered a faction and was admired by an Elder. Therefore, he was directly conferred the rank of a 2nd Leaf Cultivator without much effort.
”The higher the rank of a cultivator, the greater the chances to accept missions of high rewards and the greater the authority to browse through top-secret documents...”
Feng Xinzi brought Fang Yuan to the square and in front of the rock tablet. ”The top of this tablet is the official binding document of the Realm Alliance. You can simply call for the Realm Spirit to witness your signing!”
Fang Yuan looked towards the top of the tablet. Indeed, there was a row of small golden words. These words described the agreement of the Realm Alliance and they were indeed less uptight and strict than the other alliances. With a nod of his head, he called for the Realm Spirit.
”Ding! You've been verified! Let the Realm Spirit take care of the rest!”
After a mechanic bell rang, the inscription plate around his waist flew up. In a flash, there was a new row of golden inscriptions on it.
”This is the rights to enter this place and use this rock tablet. Congratulations, brother! When you first use the rock tablet of the Realm Alliance, your rank will automatically be updated to a 2nd Leaf Cultivator!”
Feng Xinzi smiled.
'Is it that simple?'
Fang Yuan was shocked. The Realm Alliance was indeed a carefree alliance, judging by how his initiation took place.
”Alright, the disciples of Elder Smelter will look for you for the other matters! I'll be on my way to continue my alchemy!”
Feng Xinzi took out his inscription plate and swiped it on the rock tablet. With a look of joy on his face, he quickly disappeared.
”It must be another mission to bring in a newcomer!”
Fang Yuan rolled his eyes but knew that in order to join the alliance, he had to let Feng Xinzi get the longer end of the stick and therefore didn't mind. After which, he placed his inscription plate on the rock tablet.
”Di! Welcome, Cultivator Fang Yuan!”
Many pieces of information flowed out. They were classified into different sections, namely rewards, missions, techniques and secret news. The first piece of information was a congratulatory message from the Realm Spirit.
”Due to the authority of Elder Smelter, you have directly gained the rank of a 2nd Leaf Cultivator. You can straightaway accept missions of 2nd Tier difficulty and below and can browse through a part of the information bank!”
Fang Yuan nodded his head. ”It is a good idea to classify missions into tiers so that dream masters will not die in the mission just because they are under-skilled...”
His scanned through everything quickly and found the description regarding karma. It was similar to what Feng Xinzi had described to him, just more generic.
However, there were only pieces of information about people dao karma and none about heavenly karma. It seemed that his authority was not enough to view more information.
'Hehe... This is a good way to motivate the dream masters to serve the alliance so as to rise up the ranks to see more classified information...'
'Of course, this is happening everywhere. As long as they don't take too much advantage of the low-tiered dream masters and don't keep them within the low ranks for too long, it would be alright. Instead, as the low-tiered dream masters rise up the ranks, they would proactively respect the confidentiality of these pieces of information and the system would be able to operate smoothly!'
Fang Yuan snickered and found the piece of information which he needed:
”The different tiers in the Illusionary Divine stage are defined based on the things that are actualised. In every 3 Tiers, a huge breakthrough will be required! The 4th Tier of the Illusionary Divine stage would require the dream master to create something from nothing and actualise a spiritual property in objects!”
The spiritual property would be referring to pill spirits and equipment spirits. The objects would have a spirit and a mind but would be unable to replicate on its own.
Feng Xinzi was at the 3rd Tier of the Illusionary Divine stage. If he were to be successful in creating a pill spirit, he would have broken through to the 4th Tier.
Even to Fang Yuan, it would be an extremely arduous task to form the 4th sword.
At this stage, every magical sword would have their own sword spirit and would be able to form the 4 Emblems Sword Array. It would have half the power of the 8 Gates Sword Array and was something to be feared.
”The 7th Tier of Illusionary Divine would allow one to create a race and actualise a small piece of spiritual land!”
A race would refer to a heritage of living things able to take care of themselves and self-populate in the wild.
Reading up to here, Fang Yuan was deep in his own thoughts.
If his guess was right, his master, Master Heartless, should be at this stage.
In Da Qian, this level of cultivation would be comparable to the martial arts Divine Body and spiritual knights in the True Elemental Realm. They would be able to rule over an area with their might.
There was only a line of description for the Prominent Divine Stage. ”Able to create people! Able to create an ecosystem! The creator of all!”
