Modern World's Martial Dao Human Immortal

"Heaven's Chosen?"

Alkaid glanced at Zong Yan.

On the way here, he had already gained some understanding of the organizational structure of the Artifact Sect.

President, Director, and Manager are levels not yet discussed, regarding the members...

They are categorized as Inspection Personnel, Official Personnel, Martial Saint Seed, and also...

As those considered capable of defeating a Red Star Martial Saint and seizing a spot for Martial Saint training from the Artifact Sect, the Heaven's Chosen.

In theory, this is the highest training standard for members of the Artifact Sect, but Alkaid felt that the presidents of the Artifact Sect, if they had any sense, would not place their real trump cards in plain sight.

"All the directors have already reviewed his profile and reported to the president, and after discussions and a suggestion from Director Liao Ming, the president has issued three task benchmarks. If he can complete these three task benchmarks, he will be trained as the next 'Heaven's Chosen,'" Fang Lu said.

"Three task benchmarks?"

Zong Yan's gaze fell on another person in the conference room.

Liao Ming.

He had another identity, the twelfth prince who was cast to the populace.

Due to some reasons, he, unable to obtain the prince's identity, was assigned by the Dayu Royal Family to the Artifact Sect.

He was responsible for the audit of financial and material resources, representing the Dayu Martial Arts World's Fang Lu, and Zong Yan, assigned by the headquarters to maintain the operation of the Artifact Sect's Dayu branch, were the three main leaders of the Dayu branch headquarters.

"With Alkaid's talent, strength, and achievements, his application to be trained as the next 'Heaven's Chosen' should have been directly approved by the president," Zong Yan said.

"I am responsible for the Artifact Sect's material operations, please understand, Director Zong," Liao Ming said. "Moreover, Alkaid also needs some achievements to prove himself, to gain the trust of those Martial Saint Seeds on the competition list, to maintain the fair and just operation of the Artifact Sect system."

"A Grandmaster at nineteen and has slain no less than ten demons. I think these achievements are enough to prove himself," Zong Yan said. "Unless you doubt the capabilities of the intelligence manager."

"The information provided by the intelligence manager does not contain direct evidence; it's not as conclusive as Director Zong stated," Liao Ming said.

"Alkaid becoming 'Heaven's Chosen' will inevitably enter the ranking competition. This list not only affects our Dayu branch's allocation of resources to him but also relates to the generous rewards the headquarters offers to those who rank higher.

Therefore, it is necessary and prudent to set benchmarks for assessment to prove our Dayu branch's commitment and responsibility towards the fairness of the rankings," Liao Ming continued.

Zong Yan thought of the benefits the rankings represented...

Ultimately, he had nothing more to say.

"Alkaid..."

He turned around, intending to say something, but Alkaid spoke first: "Will not becoming 'Heaven's Chosen' affect the Artifact Sect providing me with information to slay demons?"

"Of course not," Zong Yan said. "However, once you become 'Heaven's Chosen', not only will you enjoy no less than ten billion Dayu Currency worth of daily cultivation resources each month at the Grandmaster stage, if you perform well on the leaderboard, your cultivation resources will significantly increase.

Furthermore, some equipment prepared for you to combat Red Star Martial Saints, such as Divine Weapons and Battle Garments, will be issued in advance. Additionally, a Martial Saint will provide one-on-one guidance, and there will be unrestricted access to various Cultivation Techniques and scriptures..."

"Ten billion? Dayu Currency?"

"Yes."

"Forget it,"

Alkaid said.

He found no use for one-on-one guidance and access to Cultivation Techniques.

Ten billion a month...

He had just received one hundred billion Red Star Currency; he couldn't possibly spend it all.

It didn't matter.

In a month or two, upon becoming a Martial Saint, he would receive another three hundred billion Red Star Currency.

With these three hundred billion, using nutrient scheduling, the progression of the branches belonging to the "Martial Path" would quickly be filled, and there was a very high chance of skipping the Seventh Rank, reaching the Eighth Rank.

Moreover, what is known as "Heaven's Intent" among Celestials is refined from "Divine Intent" using an embodiment of "Primordial Chaos Flawless" perfected by essence.

Having "Divine Intent" enables acting on behalf of "Heaven's Intent."

It's just a matter of whether or not it can be achieved.

If he reaches the eighth level of the Divine Demon Body Refining, through high-dimensional perspective, using the skill of "Heaven and Earth Furnace forging the flesh," Blood Replacement and Marrow Cleansing, nurturing Divine Intent, Primordial Chaos Flawless can be synchronously conducted, complementing each other, progressing rapidly each day.

As long as his cultivation advances quickly, what benefits would he lack?

"Forget it?"

Zong Yan was slightly taken aback.

Fang Lu and Liao Ming also exchanged glances, their eyes filled with some surprise.

Liao Ming couldn't help but ask, "Actually, these three benchmarks are not too high; they could even be considered incentives for your cultivation."n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"What exactly are the benchmarks?"

Zong Yan asked somewhat displeased.

"Currently, three individuals have been confirmed as the next 'Heaven's Chosen.' The weakest, Zhou Yunfan, has combat achievements against top Grandmasters. The first task requires him to assassinate the leader of a Feiyu Country anti-government armed group within a month.

The opponent is merely a common Grandmaster in cultivation, at most surrounded by quite a few soldiers which might add some difficulty, but these also fall within the scope of ability testing," Liao Ming said, continuing, "The second is to assess his capability to confront a Martial Saint directly. Prince Liao Zhenguo of the Dayu Royal Family will personally test him.

He will draw a circle with a three-meter diameter, and if Alkaid can force him out of the circle within a minute, he passes. The third benchmark tests his comprehension, to choose any high-level Combat Skill from a designated few and cultivate it to entry level within three months."

Zong Yan listened and nodded.

These requirements...

Were not particularly excessive.

At this point, he turned his gaze towards Alkaid.

"Alkaid, these three task benchmarks..."

"No hurry,"

Alkaid said.

He felt it was superfluous.

Rather than spending a month going to Feiyu Country to assassinate some anti-government armed leader, he'd rather stay at home and meditate in seclusion.

"In two months," Alkaid conservatively said.

With one hundred billion Red Star Currency in his pocket and an unfinished bottle of Snow Ginseng Pill, he would certainly reach Martial Saint in two months.

"You mean... you're not accepting the 'Heaven's Chosen' three task benchmarks right now?"

Fang Lu said.

"I have gained some insight into my cultivation, and I plan to seclude myself for hard training soon, If quick, a month, if slow, two months, regarding the 'Heaven's Chosen' benefits, we can talk about it after my cultivation period ends."

Alkaid said.

Fang Lu and Liao Ming exchanged glances.

They vaguely guessed something.

However, considering Alkaid's age of nineteen and the Grandmaster strength personally verified by Commissioner Zhou...

Neither of them said anything.

They nodded immediately.

"That can be done."

After responding, Fang Lu glanced at Zong Yan and felt he was somewhat reckless.

The ten billion Red Star Currency was given too readily.

It should have been paid in installments.

Who does it like him, settling all the final payments for the Grandmaster stage in one go?

What if it was a scam?

Anything could be falsified.

The implementation of the Tenth Level Martial Arts rating in the Middle East Continent, resulting in many Seventh Rank Martial Artists who do not possess Grandmaster strength, is the best example.

"Two months, huh... well, before that, let's just go along with the treatment for a seedling of Martial Saint."

Seeing Alkaid say this, Zong Yan didn't insist further.

He simply said, "Next, let's enter your identity information."

Alkaid nodded.

According to their arrangement, it took half an hour to complete the identity procedure.

Afterward, Liao Ming personally handed over a chip the size of a fingernail and a communication device that looked no different from a regular smartphone: "This is your identity chip, and a dedicated encrypted communication device, which has software that can only be operated on this device, allowing real-time access to some intelligence in the Organization of World Medical Practice..."

He briefly introduced it, and finally added, "If the communication device is damaged, you can re-collect it at the local branch, but if the chip is lost, it must be reported immediately."

"Alright."

Alkaid took it over.

On the side, Zong Yan said, "I know you plan to use monsters as combat practice targets to enhance your combat experience. Do you see the radar icon on the screen? The red dots on it are suspected monsters, and anyone can go and eliminate them."

Alkaid nodded.

Immediately afterward, he saw an icon for a marketplace.

After clicking into it, he quickly discovered a massive amount of materials for sale.

Divine Weapons, Battle Garments, Elixirs, Cultivation Techniques, everything was available.

There were also other features like Logistics, Intelligence, Hiring, and Justice.

Alkaid also saw an option for requesting fire support in the bottom left corner.

"Can I click this?"

Alkaid was somewhat surprised.

"Of course."

Zong Yan smiled, "Although we are a non-governmental organization, we still cooperate with the military department."

He emphasized the word "cooperate."

Alkaid nodded.

Before long, he had found the Snow Ginseng Pill.

He even found some medicinal materials that were better than the Snow Ginseng Pill.

Many of these materials were not available on the market at all.

"Oh? And Divine Weapons?"

Alkaid said.

"Divine Weapons, which can also be called Magic Artifacts, can bring out the full combat power of a Martial Saint."

Zong Yan introduced, "Like your Chengying Sword, it is actually a damaged Divine Weapon, and severely damaged at that. A complete Chengying Sword is made from an extraordinary material, it is said to be refined into the body, where it resonates with one's Qi, moving the sword at will, truly formless and unsuspected, utterly indefensible."

Alkaid immediately thought of his "Formless" secret technique.

So...

"Is it for sale?"

"A complete Chengying Sword is on the same level as the Wanmo Blood Soul Banner, belonging to the National Guardian Artifact, but..."

Zong Yan helped navigate to a page, "There are replicas of Chengying Sword for sale. Divine Shadow Swords, however, are available, and for a Grandmaster or Martial Saint who hasn't mastered Divine Intent, its effects are indistinguishable from those of Chengying Sword."

Alkaid took a look...

Good heavens, three billion Red Star Currency!

That could buy dozens of fighter jets.

However, Alkaid always believed that only spent money is real money.

He promptly placed an order.

Not only did he order the Divine Shadow Sword, but he also bought various types of Elixirs and a combat module that could be mounted on an S-rank Battle Garment.

A hundred billion, spent in an instant.

Zong Yan didn't even know what to say.

After placing the order, Alkaid asked, "When can I expect the delivery?"

"It's airborne transport, it can arrive tomorrow."

"Then I'll wait a day."

Alkaid nodded.

"Ding Ling Ling!"

At that moment, the phone on him rang.

After glancing at the number, he answered the call, and soon Yue Xingzhou's urgent voice came through, "Alkaid, have you checked the internet? Xia Wuyuan... he has spilled the news about the monsters!"
