"Welcome everyone!"
"I'm the Sect Master of the Golden Flame Sect, He Yi Ming!"
"The Golden Flame Sect was once a prosperous Sect, but unfortunately, even the most prosperous of sects will one day fall from grace!"
"But starting today, as the successor of the Golden Flame Sect, I, He Yi Ming will one day bring our sect back to its former glory!"
"So, are you-all willing to join me, becoming the disciple of the Golden Flame Sect, and follow after me on the road of cultivation! Together we will create the most powerful sect in history!"
After finishing his speech, He Yi Ming prompted the system to send all of the player's the terms of service that was already prepared beforehand, or in other words the contract.
As a result, in front of every player, a huge screen appeared.
<Defying Heaven: Terms Of Services>
There were a bunch of one-sided terms laying within this terms of services, for example:
All major discoveries and treasures acquired must be given to the Sect, but in exchange, the players will receive compensation given by the Sect!
The players can't betray the Sect Master, can't do anything that is a detriment to the Sect, and definitely no cuckolding the Sect Master!!!
Etc...
Otherwise, the offender will explode on the spot.
There are hundreds of more clauses like these, it's long, it's boring, and it's painful to read through all of them!
Of course, as an extra precaution, none of these players have any reproduction organ on their character.
"F***, why is it so long!"
"Why are there so many clauses that end with exploding on the spot?"
"Don't ask so many questions, just click on the agree to box!"
....
Most players end up clicking on the agree to box after just a glance.
Shit, does anyone actually read the terms of services?
Ding Hao, ID Beef Noodles couldn't even finish reading the first line before scrolling down to the bottom and clicking the agree to box.
Who cares about the terms of services, he didn't come here to read a ten pages legal document, he came here to play!
Soon, all 88 players agreed to the terms of services and the contract was established!
This also means that all 88 players have officially become He Yi Ming's first batch of disciples.
"Congratulations to the host for completing the mission, Rating: S!"
"Mission Reward: Supreme Grade Spirit Ascension Pill!"
Supreme Grade Spirit Ascension Pill: The consumer has a 100% chance of entering the Spirit Realm! P.S. There is no side effect of taking this pill!
Hearing the system notification He Yi Ming was overjoyed.
Not only did he gain 88 disciples!
But the system also rewarded him with a Supreme Grade Spirit Ascension Pill!"
He Yi Ming was already at the Peak of Body Refinement Realm Rank 10, the level regarded as the highest an average human can train too!
The only thing keeping him in the Body Refinement Realm was the price of the Spirit Ascension Pill, which was way out of He Yi Ming's budget, even the Low-Grade Spirit Ascension Pill was not something he can afford.
However, the first reward given by the system was a Supreme Grade Spirit Ascension Pill!
Without a single hesitation, He Yi Ming swallow the pill and broke through to the Spirit Realm!
He Yi Ming has finally stepped into the Spirit Realm after staying at the Peak of Body Refinement Realm Rank 10 for over a year!
Feeling the explosion of power and spirit energy he gain from entering the Spirit Realm, the power gained far exceeds the Peak of Body Refinement Realm Rank 10 ten times over, He Yi Ming was extremely moved!
Entering the Spirit Realm represents the start of one's road of cultivation!
When he was in the Body Refinement Realm, He Yi Ming possessed only brute strength, however, after entering the Spirit Realm everything changes!
Entering the Spirit Realm grant He Yi Ming control over spirit energy, allowing him access to wield flying swords, float in mid-air, and cast far more advanced spells!
While He Yi Ming was delighted with his breakthrough, the players, not wanting to miss out, started to run all around the square, and a few bold ones even ran over to touch He Yi Ming.
There was even one guy among them ID Beef Noodle, who tried to reach toward He Yi Ming's private part.
"Does Sect Master He Yi Ming even have a wiener, hehe!"
Beef Noodle was extreme intrigue!
He Yi Ming was first startled and then he exploded in rage!
How can he tolerate such actions?
Due to the players signing the contract, He Yi Ming was able to use his authority to immobilize all of them within an instant.
"What, I can't move, is this the start of a cut scene?"
"Shh, don't talk, give Master some respect!"
"Give NPC some respect? Haha, don't make me laugh!"
....
Although the players were still laughing and joking around, they soon quiet down.
At this moment, He Yi Ming received the next mission from the system!
"Posting Sect Mission! Clean up the surrounding area of the Sect."
"Objective: Kill one hundred Graphorns."
"Time Limit: Three days!"
"The faster the mission is completed, the higher the completion rate of the mission and the final rating of the mission will increase the final reward of the mission!"
"Friendly reminder, the host can entrust bit and piece of the mission over to your disciple, your disciple can accept the same mission over and over again when your disciple completes a mission, the mission completed will be added onto the host mission progress."
After listening to the system notification, He Yi Ming was stunned.
Although the sect mission posted by the system can be split up and be handed over to the players, which is equivalent to having the players work for him, this in of itself is really nice!
However...
"Graphorn? The Spirit Realm monsters graphorn? What sort of impossible mission is this!" He Yi Ming was apprehended.
He has just broken into the Spirit Realm and now the system wants him to kill 100 graphorn who are known as some of the toughest beasts to kill in the entire Spirit Realm?
What about relying on the players?
The players are only at Body Refinement Realm Rank 1! Trying to fight a Spirit Realm graphorn head-on? What the difference between that and suicide!
At least you got an intact corpse when you suicide but if you fight a graphorn there will be no corpse!
He Yi Ming is more afraid of these players being utterly wrecked by the graphorn to such degrees that they rage quit the game!
After some thought, He Yi Ming was willing to take his chance, no matter how difficult the mission is he at least needed to give it a try!
"Listen up everyone!"
"Today, I will lead you guys down to the mountain base with the goal of broadening your experience and expanding your horizons!"
"Follow after me!"
He Yi Ming softly spoke and walked down the Sect stair.
"What, a new area of the map is opening up?"
"We can go down the mountain? Does this mean we can start fighting monsters already?"
"Nice, we can start farming monsters this early, don't you guys dare steal my kill later!"
"Is there even enough monsters in the starter town for us to farm?"
"Wait, what do I do, I don't even have a weapon, are we going in bare-fisted?"
"Who knows? All I know is following after Master come first!"
....
The players excitedly followed after He Yi Ming and walked down the long stone stairs before finally reaching the base of the mountain.
The base of the mountain was filled with patches of trees and much of the roads were overtaken by weeds. All signs that this place was deserted for many years.
It was then when a bush suddenly rustle.
"Something coming!" He Yi Ming's expression changed and his gaze shifted over.
"Gagaga!" Accompanying the weird cry was a huge figure that was more than four meters tall leaping out, the figure eyes greedily lock on to the players.
Graphorn: A low intelligence beast covered in dark brown hide walking on all four pillar-like legs, with a mouth filled with huge incisors and an extremely aggressive nature! Their appearance resembles a hippo with the legs of an elephant, their jaw can open up to swallow a human whole!
Just the appearance can scare the living daylight out of someone not to mention the intimidating aura given off by the beast!
