Immortal-Abandoned Continent, the Struggle for Dao-Grade

Just as the moon shone brightly in the Dongfang Yueming, and I was restless because all traces of my old friend had vanished.

The Nine Nether Secret Realm, a secluded space long isolated from the outside world.

But it was a completely different scene.

There was no trace of gloom or eeriness here.

Instead, there was birdsong and fragrant flowers, an ethereal atmosphere, like a secluded paradise.

On an ancient yet magnificent altar.

A stunningly beautiful figure, dressed in a simple white dress and exuding a cool and ethereal aura, sat quietly cross-legged.

It was Shi Qing!

At this moment, she had lost all trace of her former "masculinity."

With the further removal of the bloodline curse and the rapid advancement of her cultivation, her figure had long since returned to the slender and delicate form befitting a young woman. Her skin was like the finest white jade, flawless and radiating a faint, precious glow.

That already beautiful face had shed all its youthful naiveté, becoming breathtakingly beautiful, enough to make the world pale in comparison!

Below her, countless men and women, dressed in ancient attire yet possessing equally powerful auras, prostrated themselves on the ground, gazing at her with eyes filled with fervor and adoration.

"Welcome... the Goddess of Creation!"

The unified shouts echoed through the sky!

Looking at the scene before him, Shi Qing's clear, cold eyes flashed with a deep sense of confusion and... helplessness.

She slowly rose and, facing the hazy figure who had stood silently by her side the entire time, softly said, "Senior, this..."

Accept it calmly.

A melodious female voice, ethereal yet filled with boundless majesty, slowly emanated from that figure.

It was a mysterious woman dressed in a plain white palace gown, with a veil covering her face.

She simply stood there quietly, as if she had completely merged with the world around her, making it impossible for anyone to perceive her true depth!

Upon hearing this, Shi Qing could only nod helplessly.

Below, a deafening roar of cheers erupted once again!

Looking at those fanatical believers, Shi Qing couldn't help but think of that calm yet domineering figure.

[I wonder how Dongfang Yueming is doing now?]

Is he still in the Great Xia Dynasty?

With his talent, he should already be... at the Innate, right?

[I've now reached the Grandmaster Perfection. If we meet again, will he be... greatly surprised to see the changes in me?]

But... when will I be able to see him again...?

She recalled the scene after Shi Hao tricked her into this secret place.

She thought she was doomed.

Unexpectedly, this place was not the "Nine Nether Secret Realm" at all, but an ancient ruin called the "Heaven-Opening Divine Hall"!

What puzzled her even more was that everyone here, upon first seeing her, revered her as a deity!

The mysterious woman before her, whose strength far surpassed that of Foundation Establishment, showed her utmost care and imparted all her knowledge to her.

Are you thinking about him?

Just then, the veiled woman's voice rang out again.

She seemed to be able to see through all of Shi Qing's thoughts.

"Senior..."

"Now is not the time," the veiled woman said slowly. "If you want to leave this place and see the light of day again, your cultivation must at least reach the Golden Core realm."

"What?! Golden Core?!" Shi Qing was completely stunned upon hearing this!

"That's right." The veiled woman nodded. "And your first step is to forge a ' Saint-Grade Innate '!"

"Then, use all your strength to attempt the legendary... ' Dao-Grade Foundation Establishment '!"

"Saint-Grade Innate?!"

"Dao-Grade Foundation Establishment?!"

Shi Qing felt like his brain wasn't working properly!

All she knew was that "Spirit-Grade Innate" was already a mark of a prodigy! "Treasure Grade" was something only legends existed!

What exactly is this "Saint Grade"?!

"You don't need to know too much." The veiled woman's voice became extremely solemn. "You only need to know that ' Dao-Grade ' is... unique!"

But in her heart, she sighed inwardly.

[Since the first ' Dao-Grade Innate Innate' appeared on this Immortal-Abandoned Continent...]

The destiny of heaven and earth has been completely activated!

From this day forward, all cultivators outside the Immortal-Abandoned Continent will have the qualification to compete for ' Dao-Grade '!

[One person achieved the Dao-Grade.]

All the others could only take a backseat!
