Chapter 646: Chapter 324: Choosing a Cave Mansion
 

Through Xu Zhiyuan’s explanation, Lin Yi had come to understand how rare third-level authority was. Generally speaking, only the Hall Masters of each hall could possess this third-level authority.

The cultivation levels of the Hall Masters were naturally at the Refining Void Realm or above; however, not everyone in the Refining Void Realm could obtain this third-level authority.

Second-level authority was basically something that only the Deputy Masters of various halls in the Dao Palace could possess.

The third-level authority he had acquired allowed him to access certain restricted areas, as well as qualify to view some secret messages, and freely choose the classes he wished to attend, among other things.

In the Tai Xuan Dao Palace, authority represented status and also the treatment one could enjoy; in other words, it was even more important than one’s position.

Some powerful cultivators, not wanting to be entangled in the affairs of the Dao Palace and preferring to roam freely, still made contributions to the Human race by fighting demons and eliminating monsters, and were able to obtain corresponding authority and enjoy related benefits.

For example, the regular distribution of Pills, Spirit Stones, including some heaven and earth treasures, as well as access to special cultivation places and qualifications to enter the Secret Realm, all required certain authority levels.

However, the third-level authority granted to him by Elder Thunder Rhyme was, for the time being, just authority without the corresponding treatment. In other words, he had the authority similar to a Hall Master, but the benefits he would receive were still those of an entry-level disciple of the Dao Palace.

Lin Yi didn’t care much for the benefits. The authority he had received was convenient enough for him to “shear wool,” as long as his strength became powerful, everything he desired would easily be obtained.

As for Secret Realms, he would stay as far away as possible. With the opportunity to “shear wool,” he had no need to risk entering a Secret Realm to obtain items that would increase his cultivation levels.

After finishing the discussion about third-level authority, Xu Zhiyuan said with a smile, “Eastern Daoist Friend, now you understand just how precious third-level authority is. Later, I will give you a Jade Slip, which will detail the privileges you are to enjoy.”

“Thank you, Lord Xu,” Lin Yi said, bowing with his fists. He wanted to delve into some secret information and, given the opportunity, he intended to investigate the identity of the black-armored Fusion cultivator who had Predicted Crisis during his Ascension from the Lower Realm.

Although he had no intention of seeking revenge or anything of the sort, it was still necessary to know their identity in advance and make some preparations.

After all, as a Fusion cultivator, he would need to reach the Refining Void Realm to possibly stand a chance in battle against them, and if he encountered one in the Divinity Transformation Realm, he would have no choice but to flee.

Xu Zhiyuan waved his hand with a laugh, “There’s no need to be polite with me. With the addition of an Ascender like you, the Ascension Hall can also benefit.”

Then, he continued, “Although Elder Thunder Rhyme made it clear that you won’t enjoy the treatments corresponding to third-level authority, you can still have the Cave Mansion that comes with it.”

“However, before you select a Cave Mansion, there are some things that need to be made clear to you.”

“Ascenders are a significant force, capable of rising through the ranks faster than local cultivators, which is why they enjoy special treatments. However, this doesn’t mean that it’s without obligation. Local cultivators entering the Dao Palace need to accumulate a certain amount of merits before they can be exchanged; this is to accumulate merits first, then enjoy benefits.”

“As for Ascenders, who have special privileges, it’s to enjoy first and accumulate merits afterward. Everything you do in the Tai Xuan Dao Palace will consume merits. After reaching the Refining Void Realm, you will have to start repaying your merits, either go to the Border Spirit City to fight demons and eliminate monsters, the quickest way, or stay in the Dao Palace to teach disciples, or complete certain tasks.”

“The Cave Mansion you choose, depending on the location, will consume a different amount of merits. You can now select a Cave Mansion corresponding to third-level authority, or you can choose one that is available to ordinary Ascenders.”

Lin Yi hardly hesitated and spoke, “As a member of the Human race, it is my undeniable duty to slay demons and exterminate monsters. I have come to the Dao Palace precisely to advance my cultivation levels quickly. I will choose the Cave Mansion corresponding to the third-level authority.”

He, Invincible East, was not the type to worry about merits. In the fight against demons and monsters, he would certainly not shrink back.

Xu Zhiyuan laughed heartily. “Hahaha, I knew I wasn’t wrong about you, Daoist Friend. Come, choose a Cave Mansion.”

He ignited his Spiritual Power with a light wave, and several mountains materialized in the air. “These mountains shining with light are the Cave Mansions available for selection with third-level authority. The Spiritual Energy inside them is enough to satisfy the cultivation needs of someone in the later stages of Refining Void. After you choose a mountain, I will show you the available Cave Mansions on that mountain.”

Lin Yi took a look. These mountains were not far from the main peak, and the Transmission Peak, where the Hall of Preaching was located, did not light up. After all, tasks such as preaching and passing on the Dao were presumably carried out on this peak.

Now, as Invincible East, he did not choose a secluded and remote Cave Mansion; instead, he picked Tianyuan Peak, not far from Transmission Peak.

“Lord Xu, I will choose Tianyuan Peak. I am curious about the naming of the mountains in the Tai Xuan Dao Palace,” he said while selecting, along with a hint of curiosity.

Xu Zhiyuan nodded with a smile, opening the detailed map of Tianyuan Peak, and said, “Tianyuan Peak is a good choice and not far from Transmission Peak. The names of the peaks within the Dao Palace are named after cultivators who made significant contributions and perished in the fight against demons and the monster race, both in the Refining Void and Fusion Realms.”

“If their name is a single character, it will start with the character ‘Dao’ as a tribute, to commemorate their heroic deeds, hoping that the disciples of Tai Xuan Dao Palace will strive in their cultivation while remembering them.”
