“Welcome!
“I’m He Yiming, the Sect Master of the Yan Huang Sect.
“The Yan Huang Sect was once extremely prosperous. Unfortunately, those times have passed. Now, the sect has fallen to these dire straits.
“But today, I, He Yiming, vow to bring the Yan Huang Sect back to prominence!
“Are you all willing to join me and be the disciples of the Yan Huang Sect? Follow me along the path of cultivation! Let us create the most powerful sect together!” He Yiming spoke calmly. He then followed the system’s instructions and tossed them the contract he had prepared prior to his speech.
As a result, a huge screen appeared in front of every player.
【Heaven-defying Devil Immortal: Virtual Online Game contract】
The contract was riddled with a lot of extremely unfair terms.
For example, all the discoveries and gains the players received in the game must be handed over to the sect. In return, they would be rewarded for their contribution to the sect.
They couldn’t betray the Sect Master, go against him, or gift him a green hat[mfn]to cuckold the MC[/mfn]. Otherwise, they would explode.
There were over one hundred articles and clauses, all of which were long and convoluted.
“The f*ck, this clause is so long!”
“Why are there so many explosions?”
“Don’t ask. If you do, then it’s because you haven’t graduated from primary school yet and are still lacking in vocabulary!”
—
Many players simply agreed after skimming over a few lines of the contract.
F*ck, it’s too long!
Ding Hao, whose ID was “Beef Noodle”, didn’t even try finishing the first page. He scrolled to the bottom of the contract and agreed to the terms.
What’s the point of going through it all? Just click OK!
Soon, all the 88 players agreed to the contract!
This meant that all 88 players were now officially He Yiming’s first batch of sect disciples.
【Congratulations on completing the mission. Mission Evaluation: S】
【Mission Reward: Top Grade Ascending Spirit Pills!】
【Top Grade Ascending Spirit Pill: 100% chance rate of entering the Spiritual Vein Realm with stable foundation and firm cultivation base!】
He Yiming was delighted by the system prompt.
No matter what, he finally had disciples, and he even got rewarded with a top-grade Ascension pill!
He Yiming had long since reached the tenth stage of the Body Forging Realm. He could be considered to have the highest level of cultivation among mortals!
However, the price of the Spirit Ascension Pill was too high. He Yiming could not afford it.
The moment since the system activated, it had given him the best of everything!
He Yiming didn’t hesitate. He took a pill and broke through to the Spiritual Vein Realm!
He Yiming had finally stepped into the Spirit Vein Realm!
He Yiming was extremely excited when he sensed the spiritual energy coursing through his body, which was ten times more powerful than when he was in the Body Forging Realm!
The Spirit Vein Realm represented the true path to cultivation!
When he was at the Body Forging Realm, he only had a tiny amount of spiritual energy in his body, and he could only rely on brute force!
Entering the Spirit Vein Realm meant that he had the power to use spiritual tools and techniques!
He could even control flying swords to fly in the air for a short period of time!
As He Yiming was relishing his joy of breaking through, the players were restless and were unwilling to be left alone.
Some of the players tried to run into the distance. There were even a few bold people who wanted to run and touch He Yiming.
There was even a guy with the ID “Beef Noodle”, who wanted to reach out to a place where he should not.
“I wonder if Sect Master He Yiming might squeak if I touch here…”
Beef Noodle was extremely curious!
He Yiming was shocked, then he became furious!
He Yiming’s heart skipped a beat. Because the players had signed the contract, he could restrict their movements whenever he wanted.
“Wow, I can’t move anymore. Is this the beginning of the plot?”
“Shh, don’t speak. Give Brother Ming some face!”
“Brother Ming needs face? Hehe, don’t make me laugh!”
—
Although these players were giggling, they quickly calmed down.
At this moment, He Yiming received the system’s second mission!
Ding!
【A new mission has been issued!】
【Rid all demonic beasts within the sect’s vicinity.】
【Target: Kill 100 War Hunchback Beasts.】
【Time Limit: 3 days】
【Duration of mission completion will affect the mission evaluation. The higher the evaluation, the richer the reward.】
【A friendly reminder: Host can assign the mission to your disciples. In addition, the mission can be subdivided into over 100 minor missions for your disciples to complete. 】
He Yiming was stunned when he heard the system’s mission.
Although the system had released a sect mission, he could split it up and leave it to the players to complete. It was equivalent to letting the players work for him. It was indeed quite good!
But…
“Hunchback? War Hunchback Beasts at the Spirit Vein Realm? This difficulty level was simply impossible!”He Yiming was helpless.
He had just broken through to the early stage of the Spirit Vein Realm and had to kill 100 War Hunchback Beasts of the early stage Spirit Vein Realm?.
As for relying on players, the players were only at the first stage of the Body Forging Realm. Fighting Hunchback Beasts for their first battle? What was the difference between that and sending them to their deaths?
He Yiming was afraid that these players would be beaten to death by the War Hunchback Beast. The defeat might be so devastating that they would probably quit the game!
He Yiming thought for a moment. No matter how difficult it was, he still had to try it out!
“All disciples!
“Today, I will lead you all down the mountain to broaden your horizons!
“Follow me!” He Yiming spoke indifferently and walked towards the sect’s staircase.
“Damn! We are unlocking a new map?”
“Hoo~ Going down the mountain? Does this mean we can fight monsters?”
“Wow, I’ll be able to kill monsters if I go down. Monsters, don’t seek death by fighting me!”
“I wonder if the monsters in the novice village are enough!”
“Wait, I don’t even have a weapon. How can I fight monsters?”
“I don’t know. Let’s follow Brother Ming first!”
—
The players were all extremely excited as they followed behind He Yiming. They walked down the winding mountain stairs and finally arrived at the foot of the mountain.
The foot of the mountain was covered in weeds and many small wood. Many places were even devoid of walking paths. Clearly, this place had been desolate for a long time.
At this moment, a nearby thicket suddenly began to move.
“It’s Coming!” He Yiming’s expression changed as he looked over.
Gaga!
Following a strange cry, a giant figure that was over four meters tall appeared. A pair of large eyes greedily swept across the players.
It had brown skin that looked like scales, four long legs, and a huge mouth covered with sharp teeth.
It looked like a horse, but his four legs were as thick as an elephant.
This was especially true for the sharp teeth. It was enough to devour a living person in a single bite!
It had to be said that this demon beast looked incomparably brutal!
