Challenger

Thus, that disciple suppressed his cultivation to the ninth level of the Bone Forging Realm and launched the first attack at Gu Changge.

"Tianyuan Wind Method!"

He gathered wind spiritual power and unleashed an Emperor Grade Daoist Method—Tianyuan Wind Method!

At once, wild winds rose on all sides, forming a fierce gale that swept toward Gu Changge.

"Tianyuan Imperial Hand!"

Gu Changge used a defensive move he had only just learned, blocking his opponent's attack.

Then, seizing the initiative, he condensed lightning spiritual power and unleashed an Emperor Grade Daoist Method—"Purple Firmament Lightning Technique!"

Endless lightning gathered in Gu Changge's hand before surging toward his opponent.

One had to know that Gu Changge possessed the Primordial Supreme Body, ranked first among the Three Thousand Physiques. Even when crossing a major realm, he could win with ease, much less in a battle between those of the same realm.

"So strong! Is this really power that someone in the Bone Forging Realm can unleash?"

The disciples watching from the side could not help saying so.

The disciple facing Gu Changge was unable to withstand his Daoist Method attack and was swiftly defeated.

"Hmph, Senior Brother Yuzhe will avenge us."

The defeated disciple said with a dark expression.

"Senior Brother Yuzhe?"

Gu Changge had never heard of this person.

"To tell you the truth, don't get smug. We were merely sent by Senior Brother Huo Yuzhe to test your depth. Senior Brother Yuzhe is a core disciple of Qianyuan Academy and the heir of the Longevity Huo Family."

"Not only is Senior Brother Yuzhe a core disciple, he is also one of the candidates for Dao Child. He is determined to claim the position. Now that you have stolen his place, Senior Brother Yuzhe will definitely make you pay."

After saying that, the disciples of Hidden Peak left.

"Heh, he does not even have this much magnanimity. It seems he is nothing more than an arrogant, high-minded man."

Gu Changge shook his head.

Afterward, Gu Changge returned to First Peak, entered his cave dwelling, and began cultivating in peace.

"System, display my personal information."

Gu Changge silently said in his heart.

System Points: 4020

The system backpack, like a storage pouch, contained the Law of Time and the Law of Space, forming a small world of its own.

Within the system backpack, Gu Changge stored all the Emperor Artifacts and other Emperor Grade items he had obtained. In the storage pouch, meanwhile, he kept Spirit Beasts, spiritual medicines, spiritual materials, and Spirit Stones.

"The system backpack is nearly full. Looks like I need to expand it by a few more slots."

Gu Changge said as he looked at the nearly filled system backpack.

Thus, he tapped the "+" sign on the system backpack.

"Ding! Expand the system backpack by one slot? (Yes/No)"

The system's prompt sounded.

Gu Changge selected "Yes."

Then Gu Changge tapped it several more times in succession, expanding it by ten slots and increasing the system backpack to thirty slots.

Then, Gu Changge retrieved the Nine Heavens Profound Spirit Array from the system backpack and set it up in his cave dwelling. He also took out two thousand Spirit Stones to strengthen the spiritual array's power before beginning cultivation.

Three days later.

Gu Changge completed the final circulation of the Qianyuan Emperor Scripture and slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air.

Gu Changge successfully broke through from the ninth level of the Bone Forging Realm to the first level of the Tendon Lengthening Realm.

For cultivators, cultivation methods were divided into primary and secondary methods. A cultivator could practice multiple cultivation methods, but only one could be treated as their primary method. The others served as auxiliary cultivation methods or were paired with other Combat Methods and Daoist Methods.

As for Gu Changge, he took the Qianyuan Emperor Scripture as his primary cultivation method, while the other Emperor Scriptures were secondary cultivation methods.

"Now that cultivation is complete, it is time to go out and take a look."

Gu Changge put away the Nine Heavens Profound Spirit Array and thought to himself.

At this moment, Gu Changge opened the system panel and checked today's daily missions.

Daily Missions:

(1): Consume one Emperor Grade Pill (0/1)

(2): Complete one Tianyuan Academy mission (0/1)

(3): Kill three Demonic Beasts of the same realm (0/3)

In forces such as academies, Dao palaces, and holy lands, there was generally a place for issuing missions. Disciples or deacons could choose to issue missions and provide rewards for their completion, or choose to complete missions and obtain rewards.

Ordinary disciples who wished to become deacons, or veteran deacons who wished to become elders, had to complete enough missions and contribute to their faction before they could possibly succeed.

If menial disciples failed to enter the outer sect within three years, they would be expelled. Outer sect disciples who failed to enter the inner sect within five years, and inner sect disciples who failed to become core disciples within ten years, would likewise be expelled.

Generally speaking, outer sect disciples held a higher status than menial disciples, outer sect deacons ranked above outer sect disciples, and outer sect elders ranked above outer sect deacons.

Yet even an inner sect disciple ranked above an outer sect elder. By the same logic, an official one rank higher could crush those below them to death.

Expelled outer sect or inner sect disciples could choose to remain in their original place as deacons, then begin again as deacons and rise to become elders.

Outer sect deacons could choose to remain in the outer sect and become outer sect elders, or they could undergo assessment like disciples, enter the inner sect as inner sect deacons, and then advance to become core deacons on the core inner peaks.

Likewise, elders could choose to continue undergoing assessments, advancing from outer sect elders to inner sect elders, then to core Supreme Elders.
