Post-Mythical Era: I don't want to die in the third reincarnation

Chu Buqian squeezed to the front of the Li Yin Divine Valley recruitment site with the sect token in hand.

The recruiting elder's face darkened, and before he could react, Chu Buqian handed over the sect token: "Senior, I want to join Li Yin Divine Valley, preferably as an inner sect disciple or higher."

"Sect token?" The elder glanced at the token, and his expression immediately changed.

The sect token of Li Yin Divine Valley is even more effective than the words of the Sect Master; it is a token that can mobilize the entire sect of Li Yin Divine Valley.

In other words, Chu Buqian could use this token to ask Li Yin Divine Valley to help them attack another sect.

Now, he is only asking to become an inner sect disciple, which is hardly a request with this token.

This elder dared not make decisions lightly, so he sent out a message immediately.

In less than half an incense stick's time, an old man with white hair and beard landed in front of Chu Buqian, scrutinized him briefly, and grasped the sect token in his hand.

"Elder Yu, he brought this sect token," the recruiting elder pointed at Chu Buqian.

Elder Yu nodded, examined the token repeatedly, and then said to Chu Buqian:

"This is indeed the sect token of Li Yin Divine Valley. Do you want to become an inner sect disciple of Li Yin Divine Valley?"

Chu Buqian ceremoniously saluted, then carefully said:

"Chu Buqian greets Elder Yu, I come from the Blade-Washing Divine Sect in the Lower God Land; the Blade-Washing Divine Sect was destroyed overnight by enemies.

I have nowhere to go, so I can only bring the sect token passed down by my father to join Li Yin Divine Valley, seeking a sliver of survival."

Chu Buqian was very clear that upon joining Li Yin Divine Sect, it was inevitable they would investigate his background.

Instead of letting Li Yin Divine Sect investigate, he might as well come clean.

Avoid letting them know that Ding Huan and Mo Changcan are joining Li Yin Divine Sect with him.

Elder Yu paid little attention to Chu Buqian's words.

"Is your only request to join the sect and become an inner sect disciple?" Elder Yu put away the sect token.

No matter what Chu Buqian requested, once the sect token returned to the sect, it would not easily reappear.

Chu Buqian's tone was still filled with trepidation: "My only request is to have an independent cultivation peak, protected by the sect."

Elder Yu wasn't too concerned about Chu Buqian's request.

He had heard of the Blade-Washing Divine Sect being annihilated, and for Chu Buqian to present the Li Yin Divine Valley sect token and escape the sect, it was very likely he was a descendant of the Blade-Washing Sect Master.

Since he was the descendant of the Blade-Washing Sect Master, he would surely seek revenge for his sect.

To avenge his sect, joining Li Yin Divine Valley was merely to cultivate and improve his strength.

"Inner sect disciples don't have independent peaks, only true disciples have them. As per your token, you are eligible to join as a true disciple, but you'll have to wait.

A true disciple in Li Yin Divine Valley must have a recognized elder who takes them as a disciple."

Elder Yu's tone was gentle but felt like a bucket of cold water on Chu Buqian's head.

What Chu Buqian actually wanted wasn't the identity of a disciple, but to independently own a cultivation peak.

To be taken as a disciple by a sect elder? That's clearly impossible.

The sect elders of the Upper God Land have their standards high. How could they possibly accept a cultivator from the Lower God Land as a true disciple?

"Actually, it's not without options."

Elder Yu had already discerned Chu Buqian's thoughts.

With Chu Buqian's status coming to pledge allegiance to Li Yin Divine Valley, he surely had his own secrets.

Chu Buqian probably wanted to keep his secrets hidden, hence the desire for an independent peak.

"Please enlighten me, Elder," Chu Buqian quickly replied.

Elder Yu didn't hesitate: "Li Yin Divine Valley has three external branches, the Sect Branch, the Elder Branch, and the Protecting Array Team.

The Sect Branch recruits outer disciples periodically, who rely on sect protection for cultivation and contribute to the sect. Then they try to advance to inner sect disciple or even true disciple.

The Elder Branch consists of outer disciples recommended by various elders. They have their own backing, so their destination upon entering the sect is clear.

The Protecting Array Team is stationed solo on the west side of Li Yin Divine Valley, still within the sect.

The west side of Li Yin Divine Valley is the edge of the Great Star Wild Vein, where Divine Beasts and unexpected attacks on Li Yin Divine Valley's protection often occur.

Because outer disciples of the Sect and Elder branches have tasks to perform, their treatment is lesser than that of inner sect disciples, let alone having independent peaks.

The outer disciples of the Protecting Array Team must constantly guard several array cores of Li Yin Divine Valley, and due to danger, they do have independent peaks.

Their fatality rate is the highest, and they have relatively less time to cultivate."

What's relative lack of cultivation time? It's virtually no time for cultivation.

Elder Yu showed he was a kind elder by explaining these.

Chu Buqian fell into silence.

He naturally knew about the Great Star Wild Vein; Li Yin Divine Valley is one of the few sects in the Upper God Land in contact with the Wild Vein.

The Great Star Arid Vein actually isn't the territory of the Human Tribe, it's the territory of the Gods.

To the Gods, the Great Star Arid Vein is equivalent to the status of the Dao Ruins to the Human Tribe.

This place is a trial ground for the Divine Clan cultivators, filled with countless treasures.

However, the areas bordering the Human Tribe are all locked down by the Gods with top-tier Protecting Arrays.

The Human Tribe cannot secretly enter the true Great Star Arid Vein to search for resources.

Logically speaking, since the Gods have sealed off the connection between the Great Star Arid Vein and the Human Tribe, Li Yin Divine Valley should be relatively safe, with no threat of Arid Beasts, Divine Beasts, or any unknown factors attacking the Protecting Array.

The problem precisely lies here.

To drive away a few sects that have contact with the Great Star Arid Vein, the Gods intentionally create beast hordes to attack these sects from time to time.

These sects naturally cannot defend against the Great Star Arid Vein all the time, so they can only recruit some outer disciples with higher cultivation to guard the Array Cores of these Protecting Arrays.

Thus, the Protecting Array Team was established.

"Buqian, for the outer disciples who have joined the Protecting Array Team, we need an independent peak." Ding Huan's voice appropriately reached Chu Buqian's ears.

Chu Buqian immediately bowed and saluted, "Thank you, Elder Yu, for relieving my worries. I am willing to join Li Yin Divine Valley and become an outer disciple of the Protecting Array Team.

However, I have a few friends who also have nowhere to go and hope to enter the sect with me and cultivate beside me."

Elder Yu glanced at Chu Buqian in surprise; he had spoken very clearly just now, and yet Chu Buqian still chose to join the Protecting Array Team as an outer disciple.

This might be the simplest time for Li Yin Divine Valley to recover the sect token.

"Very well, since this is the case, I will personally take you to handle the admission procedures. As for your friends, they can come with you, as long as they adhere to the rules of the handyman disciples."

Regarding Chu Buqian's request to bring a few people in, Elder Yu did not mind at all.

Even if Chu Buqian didn't ask, an outer disciple would still have the right to bring some handyman disciples into the sect.

...

Chu Buqian's joining of Li Yin Divine Valley did not cause the slightest ripple.

Elder Yu acted quickly, and within just half a day, Chu Buqian brought Ding Huan, Mo Changcan, Chu Tianhua, Qu Yi, and Luo Huaner to Great Star Peak.

Actually, as the conflict between the God and Human Tribe intensified, there were fewer and fewer outer disciples of the Protecting Array Team.

After all, standing at the edge of the Great Star Arid Vein, one could neither cultivate safely nor ensure their life, so why stay here?

According to the statistics of Li Yin Divine Valley.

The Protecting Array near the Great Star Arid Vein has been breached twenty-three times within a thousand years, and each time it is breached, the outer disciples here perish completely.

Every few decades, this place gets breached once.

As for minor attacks, they occur almost every few days.

At this moment, in the main Cultivation Room atop Great Star Peak, six people convened for their first meeting after joining Li Yin Divine Valley.

Ding Huan began to speak, "According to our current understanding, we are guarding an Array Core of Li Yin Divine Valley.

This Array Core is attacked almost every few days, so this is our first problem to solve.

Otherwise, we have no need to cultivate at all; dealing with these things attacking the Protecting Array all day long is exhausting."

"I will arrange the Protecting Array..."

Mo Changcan immediately said.

He is a Level Four Divine Array Master, confident he can solve this issue.

Ding Huan shook his head, "If the Protecting Array could solve it, no one would need to guard it. Moreover, Li Yin Divine Valley's Defense Divine Array is Level Seven, and we can't set up a Level Seven Divine Array yet.

Besides, even if we did, it wouldn't be able to withstand the attack. This place gets breached every few decades.

Regarding this, I do have some experience; I've done similar things before. Back then, I was dealing with the Stealing Immortal Worm. No matter what it is this time, I believe I can hold them off.

Changcan, you are in charge of setting up the Protecting Array and the Gathering Spirit Divine Array on Great Star Peak. Qu Yi, assist Brother Changcan in arranging these arrays. We estimate that we will be cultivating here for a long time.

Buqian, Tianhua, and Huan'er, you three are responsible for reconstructing the Cultivation Cave Mansion here. We not only need to establish a Cultivation Cave Mansion but also organize some fields."

After the meeting, everyone proceeded with their respective responsibilities.

The first thing Ding Huan wanted to do was not to find a way to defend the Protecting Array of Li Yin Divine Valley but to find a way to breach the Protecting Array near Great Star Peak.

His habit is to eliminate problems and troubles before they come to a head.

So, he couldn't possibly sit and wait for the Gods to stir up trouble and attack the Protecting Array of Li Yin Divine Valley.

What he needed to do was break out from the Protecting Array location they were guarding, enter the Great Star Arid Vein, and remove the threats against the Protecting Array of Li Yin Divine Valley in the Great Star Arid Vein.

However, Ding Huan knew very well that with his current Level Four Divine Array Master skills, it was still impossible for him to break out from the Level Seven Protecting Array of Li Yin Divine Valley.

Ding Huan decided to study the Array Dao of the Great Dao among the Three Thousand Great Paths right at the edge of the Protecting Array of Li Yin Divine Valley.

In fact, Ding Huan had long wanted to research the Array Dao of the Great Dao, but the Dao Thought of the Array Dao in Grand Arrays is in a different direction from his own Array Dao Thought.

To research this Array Dao of the Great Dao, he would need to spend a lot of time integrating the Array Dao of the Great Dao with his own Dao Thought of Array, which is a very troublesome thing.
