426: A mission that no one dares to take on!

The Immortal Cave was cold and damp, and the stone bed exuded a chill that could penetrate one's bones.

Su Ming sat down cross-legged, feeling the hard, cold touch beneath him, yet his face showed no trace of complaint or discouragement.

Instead, he chuckled softly.

"That's good too."

"Starting from the very bottom of the Nine Heavens Immortal Sect, it's quite interesting."

"Only by climbing from the bottom can the Elders of the Nine Heavens Immortal Sect see my talent; otherwise, I won't be able to enter the Heavenly Emperor Secret Realm."

Su Ming's gaze swept over the Immortal Cave, which was practically bare, and his thoughts became clear.

"Alas!"

"The most important thing right now is to earn points."

Without a moment's hesitation.

Su Ming got up and left the Immortal Cave, heading straight for the Mission Hall.

Along the way, Inner Sect Disciples passed by from time to time.

These Inner Sect Celestial Lord Disciples were all dressed in flowing robes, brimming with Immortal Qi.

Their gazes at him held a hint of undisguised indifference.

Su Ming paid no heed to this.

Soon, a magnificent hall appeared before his eyes.

Above the hall's entrance, the four characters “Mission Hall,” written in a vigorous, sweeping style, exuded an ancient pressure.

Inside the hall, it was bustling with noise and activity.

A massive water mirror floated in mid-air.

The water mirror displayed densely packed mission information, and below it, Disciples crowded, coming to accept or deliver missions.

"Black Wind Mountain Range hunting team, still short one Fellow Daoist skilled in Formations, Earth Immortal Realm Cultivation preferred!"

"Mission to gather Blazing Flame Fruits, a five-person team, guaranteed thirty points per person, anyone interested?"

Shouts rose and fell.

Su Ming squeezed into the crowd, his gaze falling upon the water mirror.

The missions displayed were varied, but ultimately fell into two categories.

One: Go out and search for Heaven And Earth Treasure!

Two: Hunt Eerie Creatures.

Most missions explicitly required teams, clearly indicating that the Nine Heavens Immortal Sect did not encourage Disciples to act alone.

His gaze slowly moved downward, settling on the rules for acquiring points.

[Hunt an Immortal Realm Eerie Creature, gain one point.]

[Hunt an Earth Immortal Realm Eerie Creature, gain five points.]

[Hunt a Heavenly Immortal Realm Eerie Creature, gain ten points.]

...The rules were simple and direct: just use the recording crystal issued by the Sect to record the image of the Eerie Creature you killed, and you can exchange it for corresponding points.

"Heh, only ten points?"

Just as Su Ming was pondering, an impolite sneer came from beside him.

A young man in luxurious clothes was pointing at a mission on the water mirror, his face full of disdain.

"Hunting a Heavenly Immortal Realm Eerie Creature only gives a mere ten points? Is this meant to appease beggars?"

"How could a Heavenly Immortal Realm Eerie Creature be killed without the encirclement of three people?"

Upon hearing this, Su Ming had an idea.

From the man's words, it could be inferred that he, like Su Ming, was a newcomer who had recently joined the Nine Heavens Immortal Sect.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be unaware of even the most basic reward rules.

Moreover, if three people killed one Heavenly Immortal Eerie Creature, how would the points be calculated?

Ten points per person?

Or would the ten points be evenly distributed among the three?

Although Su Ming didn't yet know the exact ratio between points and Cultivation resources, he could basically infer from the current mission rewards that the point exchange ratio should be decent.

Subsequently, Su Ming's gaze quickly swept across the water mirror, bypassing the popular missions that required multiple people, and directly went to the very bottom.

There, a solitary mission message glowed with a faint red light, seemingly having been posted for a long time with no one taking interest.

[Mission Type: Reconnaissance]

[Mission Location: Gods Fall Abyss]

[Mission Content: Delve deep into Gods Fall Abyss, investigate the source of the eerie aura, and map the area.]

[Note: The Rank of Eerie Creatures in this area is unknown, the quantity is unknown, and the danger Rank is extremely high.]

[Mission Reward: Points will be settled individually based on reconnaissance value and the number of Eerie Creatures hunted, with no upper limit.]

Gods Fall Abyss?

Su Ming's eyebrow twitched slightly.

Although he didn't know this place, the mission's reward deeply attracted him.

Especially the four words "no upper limit," which made his eyes light up.

This is it!

Su Ming's gaze fixed on that mission information, his eyes deep, as if they could penetrate the water mirror and reach the depths of Gods Fall Abyss.

For him, this mission was perfect.

Danger?

He never feared it.

Uncertainty?

This was exactly what he needed.

Although he didn't know how dangerous Gods Fall Abyss was, or what Realm of Eerie Creatures it specifically harbored.

However, he possessed the Origin space Divine Ability of the Tai Xu Ancient Dragon Clan—Void Concealment.

With the help of Void Concealment, he was confident he could successfully infiltrate.

And he could avoid most dangers and not be easily discovered by those Eerie Creatures.

This was not arrogance, but an accurate assessment of his own space Divine Ability.

What he wanted was not conventional points, but an opportunity to make a name for himself, to force those high-and-mighty Elders to take him seriously.

What Su Ming wanted to do was to become the most dazzling Disciple of the Nine Heavens Immortal Sect, and then deliver a heavy blow to the corrupt high-ranking officials of the Sect.

Thinking of this, Su Ming no longer hesitated and walked straight to the mission desk.

The one responsible for registering missions was an Immortal King Elder with white hair and beard.

At this moment, he was half-closing his eyes, seemingly oblivious to the Disciples coming and going before him.

"Elder!"

Su Ming's voice was not loud, but it carried an undeniable firmness, clearly reaching the old man's ears.

The old man's eyelids lifted slightly, and without waiting for Su Ming to speak, he slowly picked up a Jade Slip, preparing to record.

"What mission are you taking? Report the number."

"Gods Fall Abyss, reconnaissance mission."

As soon as these words were spoken, the originally noisy Mission Hall instantly quieted down a bit.

Many Disciples around, who were about to take missions or had already taken them, simultaneously cast surprised glances at Su Ming.

The Gods Fall Abyss mission had been hanging there for at least several decades.

Its danger Rank was extremely high, yet the reward was uncertain; in their eyes, it was simply thankless and no different from courting death.

The old man's hand, which had been flipping through the Jade Slip, suddenly paused.

He had thought it was a Disciple like usual, casually reporting an ordinary mission, but unexpectedly, it was this reconnaissance mission to Gods Fall Abyss.

The old man instantly raised his head, his cloudy eyes showing a trace of disbelief, staring intently at Su Ming.

"Gods Fall Abyss?"

He repeated, his tone full of doubt.

As if confirming whether Su Ming had misspoken.

"You want to take this mission?"

Su Ming heard this and nodded again.

"That's right, Elder!"

The old man was now completely awake.

He scrutinized Su Ming from head to toe, his eyes filled with examination, as if trying to discern something from this young man.

He couldn't recall when the Sect had such a daring Outer Sect Disciple who would dare to take on such a mission.

Su Ming felt very unfamiliar to him, and his Cultivation aura was only at the Heavenly Immortal Realm Middle Stage...
