Chapter 1883 - 1873: You Want Me to Raise Livestock?
These peaks rise higher one after another, each taller than the last, stretching into a sky with no end in sight.It’s said the Divine Sky Sect is made up of seventy-two peaks, plus the Divine Sect Hall. The Divine Sect Hall is where some of the Supreme Elders, the Sect Master, and the Sect Leader live, while the seventy-two peaks are managed by the seventy-two Inner Sect Direct Disciples of the Divine Sky Sect. And the cultivation of every Peak Master is pretty much on par with sky‑piercing powerhouses.
Take the Cloud Finger Peak Master Lin Zifeng killed—Shen Kong—as an example. He was a Peak Stage Sub-Saint Fourth Layer Heaven expert. Just from that, you can imagine how fierce a Peak Master of the Tenth Peak already is.
Then what about the Peak Master of the First Peak? The Peak Master of the Second Peak?
Wouldn’t they be even more terrifying?
First of all, the two people who had brought them here led them to the foot of the seventy-two peaks, onto a mountain called Fengce Mountain. Then, each Peak Master would send someone over to take these folk cultivators, who’d come up the mountain seeking an opportunity, away to the various Main Peaks.
Once the handsome hound broke free of its restraints, those human‑like eyes of its were filled with nothing but gloom and hate; if it could, it really wanted to tear those two turtle‑spawn brats to pieces alive.
All the way, they’d been riding on its back, ordering it around nonstop. If it had been someone else suffering that, it might still be understandable—but the key point was, it wasn’t just "someone else."
"Kid, the moment we get a chance later, we tear those two bastards apart! Motherfucker. In my whole damn life, Grandpa Mastiff has only ever been ridden by three people. Never thought that after I finally managed to keep my chastity pure for so many years, I’d get broken in like this today. Damn it! Damn it! I’m pissed! I’m furious! If I get the chance, I swear I’ll rip them to shreds."
The handsome hound was mad, properly mad.
In this life it had only been ridden by three people, and yet today, in one go, two living beasts had ridden on its back.
Did they really take it for a mule?
"Don’t worry. The debt of them riding you—you’ll get your chance to make them pay it back." Lin Zifeng narrowed his eyes, staring toward the cultivators slowly making their way over in the distance.
These people were all internal staff from the various peaks of the Divine Sky Sect’s seventy-two peaks. Basically every month, the Divine Sky Sect would recruit from the outside, pick up some folk experts, and drag them back to work for the Divine Sky Sect. No different from slaves, really. If anyone couldn’t take it anymore, they could submit a resignation report a month in advance, and then they’d be allowed to leave the following month.
After a simple handover, Lin Zifeng and the handsome hound were taken away by people from the Fourth Peak. Apparently, the Peak Master of the Fourth Peak was a top‑notch beauty.
Maybe on the Fourth Peak he could dig up some answers. So Lin Zifeng didn’t find it inappropriate; he brought the handsome hound and followed the Fourth Peak’s people along a winding little path toward the Nine Domain Peak.
The Nine Domain Peak ranked as the Fourth Peak among the Divine Sky Sect’s seventy-two peaks. It’s said that the Nine Domain Peak’s Peak Master, Shen Bingxue, has world‑shaking Divine Skills and a heaven‑defying cultivation; in her thirties she had already stepped into Sub-Saint Seventh Layer Heaven!
Before coming, Lin Zifeng had gone through all the information on the seventy-two peaks. This Shen Bingxue was an oddity in the Divine Sky Sect—deeply favored by the Supreme Elders, and her cultivation was extremely high.
Rumor had it she was a good person, just a bit on the flirtatious side.
Right now, Lin Zifeng couldn’t care less whether she was flirtatious or not.
Since the Divine Sky Sect had acted against his South Heavenly Gate, and moreover was holding onto a top‑grade Holy Artifact—that was the thing Lin Zifeng coveted the most.
Not long after, the ones who had brought them led the two of them to the foot of a mountain gate. In front of them stood a massive Stone Gate, mountains encircling them on all sides; only by passing through this Stone Gate could one reach the Nine Domains Palace.
"All right. I think you all understand the purpose of your coming here this time. Before you enter the Nine Domains Palace, I have to first tell you some rules. In the Divine Sky Sect, you are not allowed to pry into this or that. You’re here to work. To put it bluntly, you’re no different from slaves. Also, in a while each of you will be given a Divine Token—that’s the area you’ll be in charge of. I hope all of you can do your utmost for the Divine Sky Sect. You are slaves of the Nine Domain Peak, so you must be absolutely loyal to the Nine Domain Peak’s Peak Master, Shen Bingxue. If you betray that, you will be killed without mercy!"
Five men in blue long robes stood before the Stone Gate, shouting loudly. Ling Li’s gaze swept across every face present.
The timid ones were directly stared into trembling knees.
"All right. In a moment, when you hear your name, come up and get your Divine Token. Once you have your token, someone will come to take you away. If you have questions, you can ask your overseer."
As he spoke, he didn’t wait for anyone to pipe up.
The distribution of Divine Tokens began.
"Zhou Yide!"
"Here!" someone raised his hand and answered.
"Good. Come and get your Divine Token—Tian Lin Divine Token." The one in charge tossed over a large golden iron token carved with dragon and phoenix Totems. The burly man called Zhou Yide simply stretched out his hand and grabbed; a shadow streaked across the air, and that Divine Token fell solidly into his grasp!
This scene immediately drew exclamations of shock from the crowd!
"Expert! Definitely an expert. Never thought we’d get this caliber of expert in this recruitment!"
Someone cried out in surprise.
"Good! Impressive skills. But let me warn you all: no matter how capable you are, you are not allowed to make trouble in the Divine Sky Sect. If I find anyone causing trouble here, don’t blame us people of the Nine Domains Palace for being Heartless." The man in charge snapped coldly twice, and the crowd below instantly fell silent again.
"Zhang Zilong!"
"Here!"
"Livestock Divine Token."
"Huh? Livestock Divine Token?" The man froze. He’d thought he would get some kind of beneficial Divine Token, and instead he got a Livestock Divine Token—wasn’t that basically telling him to go manage the animals? Damn! What a rip‑off.
"What? You don’t want to manage the Livestock Divine Token?" A Nine Domain Peak cultivator glared, and the guy shrank his neck in fright, forced to swallow his anger and take the Livestock Divine Token.
Even though he had ten thousand grievances in his heart, at this moment he could only dare to be angry without daring to speak.
"Zhang Ziwen!"
"Here!"
"Immortal Bird Divine Token."
"Huh? Immortal Birds? That strong? Don’t tell me I’ll be in charge of the Sect’s immortal birds? Good! Good! Good! I love this job; being responsible for immortal birds is honestly great."
"No." The Nine Domain Peak cultivator shook his head and said coolly, "You’re just responsible for raising some poultry. Calling them ’Immortal Birds’ just sounds nicer, that’s all."
"Huh???"
The man stared, dumbfounded. His older brother raised livestock, he raised poultry? What the hell was this?
"What, you don’t want to do it?"
The cultivator’s eyes bulged as he snarled.
"Uh... I’ll do it. I’ll do it. I’m willing..." Helpless, the man could only nod and accept the Divine Token with great reluctance.
"Lin Tianfeng!"
"Here!"
When Lin Zifeng’s name was called, he raised his hand to respond. To avoid arousing suspicion in the Divine Sky Sect, he’d taken the alias Lin Tianfeng.
"Weapon Divine Token," the cultivator called out.
"Thank you, honored sir!" Lin Zifeng shouted loudly, his voice especially clear, obviously trying to curry favor. But when the people behind him heard that he’d gotten a Weapon Divine Token, the crowd instantly grew restless. Why did he get a Weapon Divine Token?
"All right, the Divine Tokens have been handed out. Rest here for a bit. In a while, someone will come to lead you down and assign you to your various posts."
