Global Games: Reporting the Great Ascension Stage at the Start

"Young man, you've certainly made a name for yourself!"

Looking at the surging crowd outside the mountain gate, the Foundation Establishment cultivator in yellow robes at the head of the group raised his hand and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Judging from this scene, Xia Ye's popularity among this group of extraterrestrials is surprisingly high.

"It's nothing to brag about, it just brings trouble." Shen Hua said with a wry smile.

This is the trouble of being number one on both lists.

In the future, when you're out in public, try not to reveal your name too easily, otherwise it's too much trouble to cause such a commotion every time.

The Foundation Establishment cultivator glanced again at the noisy crowd outside the door, then turned to his four disciples and gave them instructions:

"You four guard the mountain gate and conduct the usual selection process. Those with the aptitude of Heavenly Spiritual Root will be recruited into the sect."

After saying that, he looked at Shen Hua and said in a gentle tone, "As for young friend Xia Ye, I will personally guide you into the field."

"Master Uncle is actually going to lead the way personally?" The other four Qi Refining disciples all looked surprised.

When the sect first recruited new members, the welcoming team at the mountain gate consisted of dozens of people, with Foundation Establishment cultivators merely sitting in charge of overseeing the procession. Miscellaneous tasks such as welcoming newcomers, introducing the sect, and assigning cave dwellings were always the responsibility of Qi Refining disciples.

Now that recruitment is nearing its end, fewer and fewer disciples are needed, and the team has gradually shrunk to only five people.

According to the rules, any Qi Refining disciple could have been sent to guide Shen Hua into the sect. No one expected that the Foundation Establishment senior would personally lead the way.

"It's alright, I'll come myself." The yellow-robed cultivator smiled slightly. "Only someone with talent like young friend Xia Ye is worthy of my personal guidance."

"I am unworthy of such a great honor as to trouble you, senior, to make such a special trip to see me off," Shen Hua said humbly, bowing with his hands clasped.

"No need for formalities, come with me." The yellow-robed monk raised his hand to interrupt, unwilling to offer any more politeness.

As soon as he finished speaking, he casually summoned a boat-shaped magical artifact.

The magical artifact flew out into the air, its spiritual light surging as it faced the wind, growing to a size of ten feet in a short time.

The boat's hull was a warm yellow, like the sun, and its surface was engraved with spiritual patterns that aided acceleration and wind protection, shimmering with a faint spiritual light.

The cultivators of Taiping Sect have always favored yellow and orange colors, and most of their robes and magical artifacts are in this hue.

With a flick of his wide sleeves, the spirit boat came to a steady stop in front of Shen Hua.

"Come on up."

"Thank you, senior." Shen Hua did not hesitate and stepped onto the spirit boat.

The yellow-robed cultivator flashed to the bow of the ship, his fingertips lightly forming a hand seal.

With a low hum, the spirit boat soared into the air, transforming into a streak of light and rapidly flying towards the depths of the sect.

……

The small boat flew in the sky, and Shen Hua looked down at the entire sect.

Although the Taiping Sect is located in the city, its territory is surprisingly large.

The high walls surrounding the sect stretched out like a giant dragon, encompassing a vast area of ​​the city within the sect's walls.

Shen Hua had researched data in his previous life and found that the Taiping Gate in Tan County covered an area of ​​about 3,000 mu, which was twice the size of the Forbidden City in reality.

A barrier was set up on the high wall, separating the inside of the gate from the bustling city outside. As a result, the inside of the gate was very quiet, and the concentration of spiritual energy was hundreds of times higher than that outside.

Not only does it occupy a large area, but the buildings inside are also majestic and towering, inspiring awe in people at first glance.

Only top-tier sects could construct such a magnificent architectural complex.

……

On the small boat-shaped magical artifact, the senior in yellow robes, while maneuvering the boat, said to Shen Hua, "Let me give you a brief introduction to the situation inside the sect."

Although the senior's tone was calm, it carried a hint of pride stemming from the sect's profound heritage.

"This open space beneath our feet is our sect's [Huangtian Square], which can accommodate ten thousand people."

"The sect's grand ceremony, disciples' gatherings, elders' lectures, and debates and martial arts competitions are all held here."

The entire plaza is paved with bluestone slabs, and the surface is covered with a layer of spiritual energy barrier that never dissipates.

With this layer of protection, ordinary magical artifacts will not be damaged in the slightest when they hit it.

The spirit boat continued to glide forward, and ahead stood a majestic main hall, imposing and dark yellow in color.

Taipingmen believes in "Yellow Heaven and Later Heaven", so the buildings within the sect are all in this dark yellow tone.

"This is the [Huangtian Hall]. The sect leader and elders hold meetings and handle important sect affairs in this hall."

The Huangtian Hall faces south, with a cluster of pavilions and buildings extending to its east and west sides.

"The cluster of pavilions on the west side are the [Hall of Transmission of Skills] and the [Scripture Repository]. Disciples come here to receive cultivation techniques and borrow ancient books."

"There are also sect elders and senior teachers in the building who can provide one-on-one guidance to disciples on their cultivation questions."

He paused briefly and added, "However, teachers expend a lot of effort to teach and answer questions, and it is not without reward."

Disciples need to expend a certain amount of sect contribution points; this is the essence of respecting one's teacher and valuing the Way.

At this point, the senior in yellow robes took the opportunity to explain the rules for sect contributions in detail.

Sect contribution points are the core hard currency of the sect. You can earn contribution points by completing sect tasks and performing sect duties.

Contribution points are roughly equivalent to low-grade spirit stones, with a nearly one-to-one ratio.

Disciples can exchange items privately; one contribution point can be exchanged for one low-grade spirit stone, but spirit stones cannot be directly exchanged for contribution points in the Hall of Affairs.

The rare spiritual materials, unparalleled cultivation techniques, top-tier magic weapons, and rare treasures within the sect can all only be exchanged using contribution points.

Shen Hua wanted to join Taipingmen precisely because of this.

Many of the treasures and spiritual materials stored in the sect are rare items that money cannot buy in the outside market.

After recounting the sect's contributions, the senior in yellow robes pointed to the east side of the [Huangtian Hall]: "These buildings on the east side are the [Hall of Affairs] and the [Treasure Pavilion]. Disciples accept missions and exchange treasures here."

As they spoke, the spirit boat had already passed the west side of the Yellow Heaven Hall and was heading deeper into the sect.

Behind the main hall, rows of well-organized courtyards stretch from the foundation of the hall to the horizon, creating an incredibly grand scene.

"This area comprises the Sixteen Divisions of Taiping, with each courtyard corresponding to a division. The sixteen divisions are: [Gathering Yuan Division], [Mystic Gang Division], [Myriad Beasts Division], [Array Manifestation Division], and so on..."

The senior in yellow shirt introduced the functions of each department one by one.

Shen Hua knew all of this in his previous life.

The Taiping Sixteen Divisions may sound numerous, but they are actually clearly divided into three main categories:

The first category is departments that align with the four major professions.

【Juyuan Division】corresponds to Qi cultivators;

[Xuangang Division] corresponds to Body Refiner;

【Beastmaster】corresponds to Beast Tamer;

【Array Master】corresponds to array master.

The above four are also the four largest departments within the gate.

The second category corresponds to various side jobs:

The [Danzao Division] and [Tianzhu Division] that he had previously mentioned to Xu Lan were in charge of alchemy and weapon crafting, respectively.

In addition, there are specialized departments for talisman making, elixir cultivation, and spirit beast taming.

The third category belongs to the special functional departments of the sects:

Huang Tiansi was a specialist in the doctrines and lineage of the Taiping Dao (Taiping Dao).

The Xuanmou Division specializes in training military strategists and battlefield commanders.

The General Affairs Department is in charge of the entire sect's logistics, managing all disciples' food, clothing, housing, transportation, and daily chores.

……

The three main halls and sixteen offices, each with its own duties and in an orderly manner, constitute the core of the Taiping Gate in Tanxian County.

The Taiping Gate branches in all the prefectures and counties of the country also follow this layout and regulations, only differing in size.
