Visitors from the Academy and an Inspection of the Demon Cave

at the same time.

It is 3,000 miles away from the border town.

The Falling Rosy Clouds Sect, a cultivation sect ranked at the eighth rank, is built upon a vast spiritual vein. Surrounded by verdant peaks, with cranes circling overhead, its protective array exudes a chilling aura.

Today, the Falling Rosy Clouds Sect is brightly decorated and filled with joy. This is not only because they are recruiting new disciples, but also because the sect has welcomed a distinguished guest!

The main peak of the Falling Rosy Clouds Sect, the welcoming hall.

The sect leader of the Falling Rosy Clouds Sect, a powerful figure who had reached the Late Golden Core Realm, sat with a beaming smile, even somewhat apprehensive, at the lower seat.

And in the main seat of the main hall.

Sitting upright was a young man who looked extremely young and was dressed in a magnificent moon-white robe.

This young man had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and an arrogant expression. He just sat there casually, without deliberately releasing any pressure, but the pure, vast aura emanating from him, which faintly resonated with the laws of heaven and earth, actually made the Falling Rosy Clouds Sect feel a strange sense of oppression.

Early Golden Core Realm!

This young man was actually a Golden Core Realm expert!

But what truly commanded such awe from the entire Falling Rosy Clouds Sect was not merely his cultivation level, but rather the dazzling silver crescent moon emblem embroidered on the chest of his robe!

[Shangyin Academy]!

This young man was none other than a disciple of the Shangyin Academy, the undisputed behemoth of the Crimson Profound World!

Even though he was just an outer disciple, the powerful backer behind him was enough to make an eighth-rank Falling Rosy Clouds Sect look up to him and even tremble with fear!

"Senior Brother Zhao's visit from afar truly brings honor to our Falling Rosy Clouds Sect!"

The sect leader of the Falling Rosy Clouds Sect personally poured a cup of precious Enlightenment Tea for the young man, his tone full of flattery, "I wonder what task Senior Brother Zhao has undertaken on his inspection of the Southern Wasteland on the orders of the academy? Our Falling Rosy Clouds Sect will certainly go through fire and water for you!"

The young man, addressed as Senior Brother Zhao, picked up his teacup, took a small sip, and frowned slightly, seemingly not particularly impressed with this precious spiritual tea.

"Sect Master, you're too kind."

Senior Brother Zhao put down his teacup, his tone casual, even showing a hint of impatience.

"I came out this time mainly on a routine assignment from the Academy's Internal Affairs Hall to inspect the sealing status of the ' Gate of the Demon Cave No. 73 ' in the Southern Wasteland area."

"The Gate of the Demon Cave?" The Sect Master of the Falling Rosy Clouds Sect felt a chill run down his spine.

He naturally knew that place; it was one of the most dangerous forbidden areas in the Crimson Profound World. Although countless years had passed since the great battle that sealed the demons, terrifying demonic energy still lingered on that door, and even ordinary Golden Core Realm dared not approach it easily.

"Senior Brother Zhao, you've worked hard. That seal was a two-way locking formation set up by several powerful figures back then, and it has remained as solid as a mountain for thousands of years. This kind of routine inspection is just a formality." The sect leader flattered him with a smile.

"That's natural."

Senior Brother Zhao gave a haughty sneer.

"Even if you gave them ten thousand more years, those lowly demons and human trash exiled behind the gate, they wouldn't be able to budge that seal in the slightest!"

"I just happened to be passing by and wanted to take a look. After resting for a couple of days, I'll just wander around and make a quick appearance, and that'll be my mission accomplished."

Senior Brother Zhao stretched and yawned, his gaze sweeping boldly over the female disciples of the Falling Rosy Clouds Sect who were queuing up for the test outside the hall. A subtle, wicked thought flashed deep in his eyes.

"However, I heard that the Falling Rosy Clouds Sect is recruiting new disciples recently? I wonder if there are any promising young women with good aptitude and beautiful appearances that I could bring back to the academy to work as maids or something?"

The sect leader of the Falling Rosy Clouds Sect immediately understood the implied meaning behind the song.

"Don't worry, Senior Brother Zhao! If there are any disciples who can truly catch your eye, that would be an incredible stroke of luck for them! Tonight, I will arrange for a few of my most outstanding female disciples to go to your room... to exchange Martial Dao insights."

"Hahaha, the sect leader is a wise man." Senior Brother Zhao laughed with satisfaction.

The atmosphere inside the main hall became both harmonious and foul.

However.

Whether it was this high-ranking Shangyin Academy or the sect leader of the Falling Rosy Clouds Sect.

They never dreamed of this.

That "Gate of the Demon Cave No. 73," which they described as "as solid as a mountain" and absolutely unbreakable.

Just half a day ago.

Not only was a crack forcibly torn open from the inside!

Moreover, the man who emerged from the "Demon Cave" is now leading two stunningly beautiful women, steadily approaching the direction of the Falling Rosy Clouds Sect!

In a cultivator city less than a hundred miles from the gate of the Falling Rosy Clouds Sect.

Dongfang Yueming, accompanied by Hong Gui and Baihu, strolled through the bustling cultivation market.

The prosperity here far surpasses that of the previous border town. The Martial Dao resources sold along the street are also of much higher quality.

"In this world, the system corresponding to cultivation realms is much clearer than on Blue Star."

As Dongfang Yueming moved among the stalls, he silently organized the information he had gathered earlier.

In the Crimson Profound World.

Martial artists' strength is simply divided into nine levels, from one to nine.

Levels one, two, and three correspond to the stages of physical tempering: Blood Nourishing, Blood Refining, and Blood Transformation.

Levels four, five, and six correspond to energy-guided Qi Gathering, unblocking of Meridian Opening, and True Power.

Levels seven, eight, and nine correspond to the stages of spiritual sublimation: the Sea of Consciousness, the Lingtai, and the Soul Condensation.

The Golden Core Realm, on the other hand, is an extraordinary starting point that transcends the ninth level!

"Although I don't have the 'spirit stones,' the common currency of the Crimson Profound World, I do have more than a dozen beast cores from the True Power Realm Ferocious Beast!"

Dongfang Yueming arrived at a very large acquisition firm.

"Snap."

He tossed several cores of the Azure Scale Beast onto the counter.

The shopkeeper behind the counter widened his eyes instantly, and his breathing became rapid.

"This... this quality! It's definitely top-grade level 6 Demonic Beast material!"

The shopkeeper hurriedly began to count the materials, his attitude respectful. "Sir, we'll take all of these! What do you need?"

"I need Spell." Dongfang Yueming knocked on the counter.

"Bring out every single Yellow Grade Spell jade slip you can collect here. Take as many as you can."

Although the shopkeeper was puzzled, he was not about to let go of such a big deal, so he scurried into the inner room.

Half an hour later.

Amidst the shopkeeper's fawning smile, Dongfang Yueming left the trading company carrying twelve tattered jade slips.

Although his wealth dwindled instantly, the safe was now filled with his "synthetic materials."

Inside the city, in a luxurious inn, the top-class room.

Dongfang Yueming casually set up the [Supreme Chaos Ninefold Divine Tower] Heaven Grade defensive Soul Technique around the room.

"Let's begin."

Dongfang Yueming sat down cross-legged and laid out the new Yellow Grade Spell jade slips in a row.

"Four offensive techniques, two defensive techniques, four movement techniques, and... two dual cultivation techniques."

This dual cultivation Spell was something he deliberately sought out. Having experienced the incredible speed of feedback from the Heaven Grade dual cultivation method, he naturally wanted to continue to promote and develop it in this world.

"System, Point Allocation! All Perfection!"

[Ding! 4,560,000 points consumed, all twelve Yellow Grade Spell are now Perfection!]

"Merge!"

Dongfang Yueming's fingers moved wildly through the Xukong.

"Fuse the four Yellow Grade offensive Spell... into two Profound -Profound Grade! Then fuse them into one Earth Grade! Finally, merge them with the Earth Grade ' Four Symbols Nirvana Divine Light ' within my body!"

"BOOM!!!"

[Ding! Obtained Heaven Grade attack Spell - "Taixu Annihilation Light" (Perfection)!]

[Ding! Comprehended the Heaven Grade Spell's profound meaning -- [Return of All Things] (Active: Using Chaotic True Power as a guide, unleashes Purple-Gold Divine Light that annihilates everything. Anything touched by this divine light will have its laws of heaven and earth and its microscopic structure instantly erased, returning to nothingness and chaos!)]

"Two Yellow Grade defensive spells, fused with Profound Grade! Combined with the previous Profound Grade ' Water and Wood Longevity Shield '... Obtaining the Earth Grade defensive Spell ' The Myriad Woods Immovable Azure Profound Wall ' (Perfection)!"

"Four Yellow Grade movement techniques, fused in pairs, four become two! Two become one! Obtaining the Earth Grade movement Spell ' Treading the Void Spirit Steps ' (Perfection)!"

"Finally, the two Yellow Grade dual cultivation Spell are fused!"

[Ding! Obtained the Profound Grade Dual Cultivation Spell - "Joyous Union Immortal-Locking Art" (Perfection)!]

A seamless integration process was completed.

Dongfang Yueming's strength, in terms of Spell, has once again experienced an extremely terrifying surge!

His attack power has reached the Heaven Grade of Perfection! His defense and movement techniques have reached the Earth Grade of Perfection! Even his dual cultivation technique has advanced to the Profound Grade!

"Yueming, are you feeling better?"

Hong Gui, dressed in a sexy deep red lace lingerie, impatiently pushed open the door to the inner room. Although Baihu was sitting to the side in a neat white dress, her tightly clasped hands betrayed her inner turmoil.

Ever since the two women tasted the unparalleled sweetness of "breaking through realms through dual cultivation," they have become almost addicted to it.
