Chapter 236: Alliance Verification and Rising Rank
Meanwhile, the only three Spirit Token holders in the Heaven Origin Realm all noticed the sudden glow of their tokens.
They immediately set aside whatever they were doing and sent their divine sense into them.
Moments later, their consciousness returned and their expressions changed drastically.
Without hesitation, they used the teleportation technique available only to Spirit Transformation cultivators and rushed toward the Sunfall Domain.
Within the desert of the Sunfall Domain, Gou Guangming and the others had just barely completed one round of practicing the Four Symbols Combined Strike Formation.
Suddenly, vast streams of energy surged in from three directions.
Within each stream was a blurred figure moving at a speed too fast for the naked eye to follow.
Almost simultaneously, they landed in front of the group.
As the energy dispersed, three figures appeared, each radiating an immense and restrained pressure.
At their waists hung crystalline tokens.
On each token was the large character for realm along with the emblem of the Alliance.
They were Spirit level Alliance tokens.
One of the three, a cultivator with black hair and beard while holding a sword in his arms stepped forward first and cupped his hands toward them.
"I am San Tu, one of the overseers of the Alliance in the Heaven Origin Realm. I have come to verify your report."
"I am Qing Shuang, also an overseer of the Alliance in the Heaven Origin Realm," said another man among them.
He’s a handsome man dressed like a scholar in his twenties.
The last of the three is a charming and alluring woman.
She’s covered her lips with her sleeve and smiled.
"I am Tao Lin, also one of the Alliance overseers. I have come to verify the report from you young cultivators."
Hearing this, Xiao Shou was startled.
He immediately stepped forward and gave a respectful salute. "I did not expect this matter to trouble all three overseers to come in person. We have been discourteous."
Young cultivators? Why add the word young?
Gou Guangming complained inwardly, but seeing that it was Xiao Shou, the one with the lowest cultivation among them who stepped forward instead of a Spirit Transformation cultivator and that no one present showed any dissatisfaction, it was clear they all acknowledged his position.
The three of them exchanged a glance.
Tao Lin looked at Xiao Shou with gentle eyes as if she understood everything.
"You are too polite. Our presence here only serves to confirm how important your information is, if it proves to be true."
"I understand," Xiao Shou nodded.
The black haired and bearded cultivator with a stern expression spoke next. "Then begin by telling us your identities and the full account of your discovery."
"Yes."
Xiao Shou quickly explained his identity and how the Sunfall Domain was his homeland.
He described how, after returning, he had accidentally discovered the underground formations and everything that followed.
When it came to deducing the formation and speculating on its functions, Fu Young stepped forward to supplement the explanation.
He also took out a pair of the Cycle of Cause and End Relics for the three to examine.
It took quite some time before everything was fully explained.
After listening, the three exchanged another glance.
The handsome overseer Qing Shuang clasped his hands behind his back and said thoughtfully, "To verify the truth of this matter, we have already seen the relics. Next, we must examine this so called grand formation for ourselves."
"That is simple. Leave it to me."
Tao Lin smiled beautifully.
With a light clap of her hands, the sand across the entire desert began to rise into the air.
Layer by layer, the ground was revealed, exposing the deeply buried depleted spirit veins beneath.
They spread out like a vast spider web densely covering the entire desert.
Seeing this scene, the expressions of San Tu, Qing Shuang, and Tao Lin all changed at the same time.
Tao Lin waved her sleeve, dispersing the flying sand.
With another graceful motion, her sleeve wrapped around Xiao Shou, Fu Young, Gou Guangming, and the others, lifting all six of them into the air.
"Fellow Daoist San Tu, Fellow Daoist Qing Shuang, this place matches what these young friends described. Next, let us verify a few other locations."
"Mm."
"Alright."
Thus, for the entire afternoon, the three Alliance overseers led Xiao Shou and the others across the Sunfall Domain, flying from place to place.
They inspected every known location, including areas with depleted spirit vein formations and places where spiritual energy had been sealed.
Any remote region was thoroughly examined.
Every single site matched the information Xiao Shou had reported.
This result caused all three overseers to grow visibly solemn.
As the sun was about to set, they each sent confirmation through the Heaven-Earth Net of Ten Thousand Realm, reporting that the task was complete and the information was verified as true.
After waiting for a short while, the instructions from the higher realm were transmitted back through the Heaven-Earth Net of Ten Thousand Realm.
At the same time, a new Spirit level mission was issued across all small realms and even the Spirit Realm.
Investigate the underground conditions of mortal regions.
Within the Heaven Origin Realm, the two overseers glanced at Tao Lin.
Tao Lin then took out a blank golden token and handed it to Xiao Shou with a smile.
"Little Daoist Xiao, after our verification, your report has been confirmed as true. Your reward has just been finalized. You are granted ten thousand contribution points, your token is upgraded to a gold token, and you are given one opportunity to advance to a jade token without completing missions."
"The reward does not matter," Xiao Shou said as he accepted the token. "Now that the information has been verified, how does the Alliance plan to handle this?"
After he read the original story, he already knew what to do.
He overlapped the gold token with his silver one.
As expected, the gold token naturally absorbed the silver token.
The previously blank surface of the gold token now displayed the character for realm along with the Alliance Of the Myriad Celestia emblem.
