Elder Zhi and Jiu Do, who were outside the room, could sense the powerful energy coming from within. They immediately pushed the door open to see what was happening. “Where is this energy coming from?!” Elder Zhi fell silent when he saw the Elf figure hovering above his daughter, who was sitting in meditation with her back facing Tian Zhu. “So this is what they call a Martial Soul?” Elder Zhi muttered softly. The sight before him was completely foreign—he had never seen anything like it before. He shifted his gaze to his daughter and saw the strained expression on Yun Zhi’s face. Then he looked at Tian Zhu. The young man’s body was trembling as he continued channeling energy into Yun Zhi’s back. “Elder Zhi, wouldn’t it be better if we step outside so we don’t disturb their concentration?” Jiu Do suggested. Elder Zhi nodded and walked out. He no longer doubted Tian Zhu. Tian Zhu did his utmost to restrain the energy inside Yun Zhi’s body so it wouldn’t burst out all at once.

The room fell silent for a moment. No one had expected such a request from Tian Zhu.“Boy, I am indeed very grateful to you, and I will not forget the favor you’ve done for helping my daughter. But as her father, do you think I would allow you to touch my daughter as you please?” Elder Zhi stepped forward, each of his steps seemingly heavy, his expression strained as if he were holding himself back from crushing Tian Zhu into pieces.“E–Elder, actually…” Tian Zhu tried to explain, but Elder Zhi immediately cut him off.“You are talented, and your appearance is not bad either. But your nature is truly like that of a wild beast, daring to make such a request right in front of me. I misjudged you, boy.” Elder Zhi patted Tian Zhu’s shoulder.“Good heavens, that young man… How can he say something like that so smoothly and without the slightest burden?” Jiu Do muttered while rubbing his forehead.“Father, what exactly is dual cultivation?” Yun Zhi, who knew nothing about cultivation, did n

The next day, Tian Zhu went to the Inner Court to register as an Inner Disciple of the Earth God Sect. He headed to the Registration Hall where outer disciples signed up to become Inner Disciples.Upon arriving, he did not see a single disciple there. Indeed, the Registration Hall for Inner Disciples and Core Disciples was the quietest hall, as not many people broke through to the Earth Spiritual realm at any given time.“Oh, young man, I can sense that your cultivation is at the Earth Spiritual level. Do you wish to register as an Inner Disciple?”Tian Zhu halted his steps before entering the door when he saw a middle-aged man sitting leisurely on a chair outside. He could sense that the middle-aged man was at the Heaven Spiritual level.“I am the elder in charge of the Inner Disciple Registration Hall. There is no need for you to go inside to register.” The middle-aged man handed Tian Zhu a set of Inner Disciple robes, a token, and a pill. “By the way, what weapon do you use?”“A sw

For the past week, Tian Zhu had focused entirely on training Yun Zhi to improve her stamina. He did not cultivate at all, as that would only waste time and resources. Instead, he spent his time refining pills and studying the Odes.In addition to giving Yun Zhi medicinal pills, Tian Zhu also fed her the meat of a late-stage Heaven Spiritual beast that he had obtained from the Guxu Mountains.By consuming the meat of a spiritual beast, Yun Zhi’s body would gradually grow stronger. Tian Zhu did not give her Bone Tempering Pills or Flesh Tempering Pills because their effects were too powerful. With her weak physique, she would not be able to withstand the potency of those pills, and they would ultimately cause more harm than good.After a week of training, not only had Yun Zhi’s stamina improved significantly, but her speed had also increased dramatically. Previously, she could only run ten laps in several hours. Now, she was capable of running one thousand laps within a single hour.Yun

Luo Ying showed the Snow Goddess Technique manual that Tian Zhu had given her earlier to her father.“This technique is very simple and easy to understand. I had no difficulty mastering it. Thanks to practicing this technique, I was able to break through to the Heavenly Spiritual Realm with ease,” Ling Yin said.Luo Yang took the book and began reading it. Instantly, a shocked expression appeared clearly on his face.“This… Ying’er, your comprehension is still limited, so it’s natural for you to think this book is simple. But every arrangement of words, every sentence—everything—contains an incredibly profound meaning.” Luo Yang continued reading.Just by reading it, he could feel his understanding expanding and broadening. It was as if he had gained a new enlightenment.Clouds somehow began gathering within a one-kilometer radius above the peak of Sky Pillar Mountain. The sound of thunder rumbled, and flashes of lightning flickered within the clouds.Luo Yang immediately closed the b
