The totem contains yet another world.
This world is similar to the main street that Zero saw in the upper realm. It is a bustling place with shops, crowds of people, and constant shouts and calls of vendors.
If I hadn't seen myself enter the Seven Gods Sect, I would have thought this was a marketplace.
Just as he was taking a closer look, someone nudged his shoulder.
"Are you new here?"
She subconsciously turned her head to look at the man who had spoken to her.
He was a thin man dressed in a merchant's clothes, with patches on his collar, suggesting he wasn't very well-off.
Seeing Ling scrutinize him, Fu Tianming grinned at Ling, then awkwardly withdrew his hand, slipping it into his wide sleeve, looking somewhat embarrassed and at a loss.
"How can I help you?"
Seeing that Ling wasn't angry at his touch, Fu Tianming smiled sheepishly.
The newcomers were all arrogant and looked down on ordinary people like them; they were all domineering and arrogant.
Seeing that Zero was new, but unlike the arrogant ones he had encountered before, Zero exuded a strange and frightening aura, so he thought of going up to talk to him.
"Is this young master new to Danning City?"
"Danning City...?"
Wasn't he at the Seven Gods Sect? He just entered a totem pole, how did it turn into some kind of city...?
Thinking of this, Ling turned to look at Fu Tianming and asked:
Where is this place?
Seeing the puzzled look on Fu Tianming's face, he added:
"I mean, outside of this Danning City, like some upper realm or something..."
Fu Tianming smiled knowingly. After these few exchanges, he realized that Ling wasn't the type to bully others by relying on her power, so he relaxed considerably and began to explain things to Ling in detail—
"This is a world within the Seven Gods Sect. Isn't that strange? A sect can actually have its own small world."
"Actually, this is not surprising. Once one's cultivation reaches a certain level, one can create one's own world."
"In this world, you are the master. And this Danning City is just a corner of the Seven Gods Sect's small world."
"So, you're saying I'm still actually inside the Seven Gods Sect?"
Zero asked.
"Yes and no."
Fu Tianming gave an ambiguous answer.
What do you mean by that?
Zero couldn't help but ask in confusion.
“This is indeed the Seven Gods Sect, but you were also selected by the Seven Gods Sect. At this moment, you do not belong to the Seven Gods Sect. Therefore, our rules here, in a sense, do not apply to you.”
"Moreover, now that you've entered this place, it means your mission has already begun."
"A mission? What mission? I haven't heard of any mission... They just put me into a totem."
Ling frowned slightly.
"It's normal that you don't know since you're new here. It's fate that we met. Here, I'll take you to the mission area so you can accept the mission!"
"Only by completing the mission can one become a disciple of the Seven Gods Sect and formally enter the sect; otherwise, one can only stay here until the mission is completed!"
Fu Tianming said earnestly.
Upon hearing this, Zero could only nod.
...
"This is where you pick up your mission. He'll give you a few options later; you can choose one yourself. The missions are all different in difficulty, and the rewards for completing them will also be different. Good luck! I'm off now."
After taking Ling there, Fu Tianming briefly mentioned it to her and then left.
Zero stood at the mission acceptance point, carefully reading what was written there—
Task 1:
Head to the Phantom Forest to kill ten Level 1 Spirit Emperor magical beasts and obtain their magic cores.
This task must be completed within three months of being accepted.
Task rating: S
Task Rewards:
The Seven Gods Sect outer disciple identity token grants one spot to participate in the inner disciple trial and one thousand sect contribution points.
(Note: This quest is only available to players with a cultivation level below Spirit Saint Level 5.)

Pass the trials of the fifth level of the Phantom Tower within a month.
Task rating: A

Seven Gods Sect Outer Disciple Identity Token, 500 Sect Contribution Points.
(Note: This quest is only available to players with cultivation levels below Spirit Emperor.)
Task 3:
Refine an eighth-grade Azure Water Pill.
Mission Rating: SS

The Seven Gods Sect inner disciple identity token, three days' access to the inner courtyard cultivation tower, and 10,000 sect contribution points.
(Note: This task has no restrictions on cultivation level or time.)
Task Four:
He was promoted nine levels within two months.
Task rating: S
Task Rewards:
The Seven Gods Sect's prospective inner disciple status, inner sect trial qualification, and 5,000 sect contribution points.
(Note: This quest is only available to those with Spirit Saint cultivation level.)
...
After reading through all the instructions, Zero fell into deep thought.
"These tasks don't seem difficult, but they either have cultivation level restrictions or time limits, so none of them seem particularly suitable for me. Task three was pretty good, but I'm not an alchemist at all... Sigh, wait a minute!"
Zero suddenly noticed a task in the corner of the task bread. The task only had a few words, so Zero had initially overlooked it.
Task X:
Gain the approval of the Lord of Danning City.
Task rating: S
Task Rewards:
Seven Gods Sect Inner Disciple Identity Token, 10,000 Sect Contribution Points.
(Note: This task has no level restrictions for accepting it, nor any time limit for completion.)
"'Gaining the approval of the Lord of Danning City'... Although this quest doesn't specify a time limit or required cultivation level, it seems to be the most suitable quest for me right now. And it just so happens to be Danning City, so it's quite a coincidence."
