The eastern border of Qian Yuan is slightly stronger than their western border, but only by a limited margin. Shi Xuan speculates that this may be related to the catastrophe that struck their continent eight hundred years ago.

That catastrophe, whose cause and process are unknown, caused a break in the historical records of the Qian Yuan Western Region, let alone the traditions of magic and Taoist arts.

From this perspective, they are indeed at a complete disadvantage in this arena compared to other continents.

Shi Xuan left the rankings and went to check out the trading area. There, disciples from all over the outer realms would post messages about things they didn't need outside, either selling or exchanging them. It was a very prosperous little market.

After leaving the "market", Shi Xuan went to the mission area.

Most of the tasks displayed in the task area are issued by various sects. There are also some tasks that individuals need but cannot buy in the trading area. They can also choose to post them in the task area, as long as they go to the Outer Domain Central Hall to complete the procedures.

There was also a miscellaneous area, which was a forum where disciples would record what was happening. Shi Xuan had just arrived and didn't know what was going on there, so he only glanced at it before leaving.

After reading through all the contents of the token, Shi Xuan withdrew her divine sense. Elder Jiang was still waiting for them.

"Elder, have all the other disciples from our sect gone out on missions?" Shi Xuan asked.

Elder Jiang nodded and replied, "Our Qian Yuan Western Region is weak, and we can't compete with others for opportunities in this outer realm. It's not very meaningful for cultivation, so some disciples have left the outer realm, and the number of disciples has decreased. The remaining dozen or so disciples went out as a group to hunt demonic beasts, and they haven't returned yet."

So that's how it is. If you can't compete with your rivals, you'll have fewer resources. In that case, it's not as fast as cultivating in the sect as it is in the outer realms. As a result, many disciples go back. The fewer disciples there are, the less they can compete with other continents, creating a vicious cycle.

It is said that the Outer Realms are full of treasures. It seems that there are treasures, but there are a lot of people eyeing them. Whether or not you can find them is the key.

Shi Xuan asked a few more questions, then said, "So starting today, we can move around freely and take on any missions we want?"

“Yes,” Elder Jiang replied, “Be careful out there. If you encounter any problems, you can come back for help. There are also several elders from the sect stationed here.”

That being said, Shi Xuan analyzed their situation. The disciples were weak, and their masters were probably not much stronger either. If they really clashed with a powerful sect, they probably wouldn't be able to do much.

After Shi Xuan and the other two senior sisters finished reading the contents of the token, they said to each other, "Senior sisters, we are not familiar with the situation in the outer realms. It would be inappropriate to act rashly. Shall we act together?"

"That would be perfect!" The petite Chang Qing raised her small face and smiled, "Then thank you very much, Junior Sister, for taking us along."

Chen Danfeng nodded gently beside her, "I'll follow your arrangements, Junior Sister."

Having experienced the Six Sects Grand Competition, they had a blind trust in Shi Xuan. Now that they had just arrived in the outer realm, they were at a loss. Even if Shi Xuan was wrong, they still had to find a way to be with her.

The group reached a consensus and left the Lianfeng Sword Sect's headquarters, heading towards the Langya Sect's headquarters.

Only nineteen people came in this batch. Since we're going to act together, we might as well organize everyone together.

At that moment, the Shen brothers of Langya Sect were also heading towards Lianfeng Sword Sect, and the two groups met on the way.

It seems there's no need to say more; everyone's here to form teams.

Shi Xuan went around and gathered all nineteen people together, forming the prototype of their team in the outer region.

Looking at the nineteen people, most of whom were familiar faces, Shi Xuanyang exclaimed, "How about giving our team a cool name!"

Sun Shaoxing glanced at Chen Qi and said calmly, "Want a strong team?"

Everyone burst into laughter, and the initial nervousness of their arrival vanished.

They all came from the Six Sects Grand Competition, and this competitive spirit always makes me laugh whenever I think about it.

Everyone looked at Chen Qi.

Zhang Yingxin looked him up and down and said, "This is not appropriate. This name is too biased towards Chen Qi. It makes it sound like Chen Qi is the captain. It would be better to call it the Righteous Team than the Strong Team."

Another burst of laughter followed, and Chen Yaoqiang and Shi Dayi rose to fame.

Chen Qi glared angrily at Sun Shaoxing. How come he hadn't realized before that Sun Shaoxing was such a repressed flirt? Ever since the last Six Sects Tournament, it was as if he had flipped a switch. This usually composed person was now constantly finding something to provoke him.

Thanks to him, Chen Qi's nickname, Chen Yaoqiang, is now known throughout the entire Luoyin Sect territory, and almost no one remembers that his name is Chen Qi anymore!

Shi Xuan, however, readily accepted the title "Shi Dayi".

“No problem, no problem,” Shi Xuan laughed. “It’s a good name, but I can’t keep our team all to myself. How about we call ourselves the Messengers of Justice Team!”

Shi Xuan looked at Chen Qi, who was still indignant, and said, "Or perhaps it would be better not to team up with us?"

"Great! That's a powerful name!" Shen Wuyang clapped his hands and cheered.

"Which is better? Should the Justice Team or is it better not to team up with us?"

"Hello, messengers of justice!"

"It would be more interesting if you didn't team up with us!"

...

After some debate, a vote was finally taken by show of hands. It was decided that the team name should not be chosen by us by a narrow margin.

Shi Xuan was speechless. She was just trying to liven things up and made up a joke!

Imagine someone showing up outside shouting, "You'd better not mess with us!" That's a bit odd and sure to attract hatred...

But seeing how happy her friends all seemed, Shi Xuan gritted her teeth and decided it was settled!

"The name is a bit long," Shi Xuan said tactfully, "We can just call it the Best Team when we're outside."

With everything ready, Shi Xuan used his divine sense to communicate with the token and went to the mission area to make his selection.

Their nineteen-person team was arguably the weakest in the entire outer realm, so Shi Xuan decided to start with the lowest-level mission to test the waters.

One of the level 1 tasks involves hunting 300 green rats, and the reward is 300 points.

Shi Xuan had read the introduction to the species of the outer realm. The green-skinned rat was the lowest-level monster in the entire outer realm. It had low attack power and was not fast. A Golden Core cultivator could easily deal with it. The only difficulty was that it was extremely hard to find.

The floating islands on the northeastern outskirts are their habitat. They are very good at concealing their presence and can blend into their surroundings.

Therefore, this lowest-level task is specifically reserved for cultivators with low combat power. They can solve it, but it will take a lot of time to find these three hundred green rats.

Cultivators with slightly higher combat power would find this task too time-consuming and low-points, and would be unwilling to accept it.

The best team members happened to be newcomers, and Shi Xuan made the decision to take them on!
