[Quest: The Treasure of the Sect (In Progress)]

To transform the Calamity Moon Pearl into a treasure that can suppress destiny, four secret realms of heaven and earth must be established inside the Calamity Moon Pearl.

[First is a mountain of corpses, second a sea of ​​blood, third a chasm, fourth a passage between heaven and earth.]

[The mountains of corpses and seas of blood suppress the fortune of humanity; the severing of the connection between heaven and earth suppresses the fortune of heaven and earth; the calamity moon hangs high in the sky, protecting the fortune of the Yuan Cult from being lost.]

[Corpse Mountain Secret Realm Progress: 90%]

[Blood Sea Dungeon Progress: 60%]

[Progress of the Heavenly Realm: 0%]

[Progress of the Underground Dungeon: 0%]

[Quest Items: Heavenly Realm Refining Method (Available to claim) Deathly Realm Refining Method (Available to claim)]

[Quest Reward: Demonic Skill - Beast Control (Level 3)]

"Mountains of corpses and seas of blood, severing the connection between heaven and earth?"

Looking at the four great secret realms mentioned by the dog system, Su Yuan was speechless.

You're really pushing your luck, aren't you? The Blue Star Federation is increasingly unable to satisfy your appetite.

Fortunately, the Corpse Mountain and Blood Sea were two secret realms that Su Yuan planned to establish, so the mission was half completed from the very beginning.

Especially the Corpse Mountain, where Su Yuan stole... cough cough, nearly 30,000 sword slaves in the world of Absolute Sword. He only needs to refine and train them to achieve success.

The Blood Sea Secret Realm, also known as the Eight Treasures Merit Pool, has no shortcuts, but with enough funds, the progress bar can be filled quickly.

These two secret realms can be skipped.

Su Yuan looked at the quest item list and received the crafting method for the Absolute Heaven and Earth Connection Secret Realm.

A flood of knowledge poured into Su Yuan's mind, and it took him more than half an hour to digest it before he finally understood the principles behind the formation of these two secret realms.

Like the mountains of corpses and seas of blood, the two great secret realms of the Absolute Heaven and Earth are also connected and have a complementary effect.

The term "severing the connection between heaven and earth" originates from a myth. Legend has it that in ancient times, Zhuanxu, one of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, cut down the Jianmu tree to prevent the gods from descending to earth, thus separating the human and divine realms by isolating heaven and earth.

The Secret Realm of Absolute Heaven and Earth has nothing to do with whether or not immortals descend to the mortal world, but its effects coincide with myths and legends.

Once a cultivator enters the Secret Realm of Absolute Heaven and Earth Connection, the connection between him and his own spiritual power will be severed, and he will become an ordinary mortal.

Putting aside the suppression of destiny, the mere effect of sealing others' spiritual power was enough to make Su Yuan determined to refine these two secret realms.

However, the refining methods for these two secret realms are somewhat troublesome.

The Secret Realm of Absolute Heaven requires the collection of the Qi from the heavens above, supplemented by top-notch weapon-refining techniques to create a canopy of sky.

The Earthly Passage Secret Realm requires drawing upon the Earthly Fiend Qi from the Nine Netherworlds, and similarly using top-tier weapon-refining techniques to forge a layer of Earth Embryo.

Once the two secret realms are activated, the Heavenly Curtain and the Earthly Embryo will each transform into a hemisphere and merge together, using the power of the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiends to seal off all spiritual energy.

I don't know if these two materials are available for purchase at Pinbaobao.

With this in mind, Su Yuan opened the Pinbaobao platform and searched for a while, but found nothing.

At most, they sell small magical artifacts with the style of the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiends.

It seems that even having a baby isn't a magic bullet.

Su Yuan then searched the Spirit Network for information about the Nine Heavens Qi and the Nine Netherworld Qi, and discovered that these things were actually exclusive resources of the Ten Great Immortal Sects.

The Demon-Slaying Sword Sect happens to possess a magical treasure specifically designed to extract the Heavenly Qi and Netherworld Qi for its students to use in their cultivation.

Su Yuan put away his phone with satisfaction.

Now things will be much easier. My master is a half-step department head, so stealing some Qi and evil Qi is a piece of cake.

What comforted Su Yuan even more was that the entire refining process of the Absolute Heaven and Earth Connection Secret Realm did not contain any demonic elements!

It was a perfectly legitimate secret realm, so Su Yuan had no psychological burden when refining it.

Upon making this discovery, Su Yuan couldn't help but be surprised. Had the dog system suddenly changed its nature?

Or is it that demonic methods are inherently weaker than righteous methods in suppressing destiny, so they have no choice but to resort to this?
In any case, the creation of the Absolute Heaven and Earth Connection Secret Realm should not affect his reputation.

After confirming that he was capable of completing the task, Su Yuan looked at the task reward.

Demonic Skill: Pointing at Beasts.

This is clearly a new Five Fingers series of magical techniques.

Or to be more precise, it is the Ten Demonic Finger series of demonic arts.

Judging from the name, the effects of Demonic Art: Beast Pointing should be related to spirit beasts and demonic beasts, and in terms of the level of demonic art, it is directly level three!
This is equivalent to Su Yuangang's level being upgraded twice as soon as he obtained the demonic skill.

The rewards are incredibly generous!

Demonic Skill: Beast-Pointing Technique, we must capture it!

On the last day of the holiday, Su Yuan urgently moved the entire Corpse Mountain into the Calamity Moon Pearl, connecting the bodies of the sword slaves and completely completing the Corpse Mountain Secret Realm.

At the same time, Su Yuan urgently expanded the Eight Treasures Merit Pool that had already been built inside the Calamity Moon Pearl, and rushed to purchase a batch of top-quality spirit beast blood, including the essence blood of Foundation Establishment spirit beasts.

This one item alone cost Su Yuan tens of millions of yuan in savings.

Fortunately, his money didn't disappear; it just stayed with him in another way.

After a series of operations, the Corpse Mountain and Blood Sea Secret Realm was completed, and the relevant progress bar was directly pulled to 100%.

A fulfilling day was spent in Su Yuan's hard work.

On September 24th, at 8:00 AM, Su Yuan arrived at the Seed Class of the Exorcism Department on time.

As soon as he entered the classroom, he could clearly feel that this place was different from the outside world.

Inside the Seed Class, the Spirit Gathering Array was fully activated, and every wisp of spiritual energy was extremely pure, only slightly inferior to the refined spiritual power of the Great Desire Immortal Puppet.

At the same time, there is a unique fragrance in the air. Taking a deep breath, one feels as if their mind is opened and their spirit is clear.

Learning in such a class will definitely be twice as effective with half the effort.

As the student who ranked first in military training, Su Yuan naturally sat in the first seat of the first row.

Sitting second to him, and third in line were Chi Le'an and Qi Han'ya, two Foundation Establishment students.

Because Su Yuan arrived just in time, all the students had already arrived, and the bell for class rang soon after.

Before long, a middle-aged man dressed in a golden robe, who looked like a walking sun, strode into the classroom.

Not only his clothes, but the middle-aged man's entire aura was dazzling. The only flaw was that his resolute and sculpted face was somewhat dark, which only appeared darker under the golden light.

However, none of the students thought of laughing at the middle-aged man's dark face. This was because he was a genuine Nascent Soul True Monarch, and also the mentor chosen by Chi Le'an—True Monarch Yang Hao!

Not only Yang Hao Zhenjun, but Zhan Yuan Zhenjun Tai Bai Tianji is also one of the teachers in this class.

True Lord Yang Hao is in charge of the two main courses for the seed class: [Dao Heart] and [Sword Dao (Martial Arts)], while True Lord Zhan Yuan is in charge of the two main courses: [Cultivation] and [Body Refinement (Physical Education)].

The specific content of these four main courses is strongly related to the word "exorcising evil," which is the biggest difference between the Exorcising Evil system and the Sword Dao system.

As for the spiritual texts class and the general knowledge class, they are taught by a Golden Elixir teacher.

Su Yuan and others had anticipated this teacher allocation.

Since the school has hired two Nascent Soul instructors, it's impossible for them to just take on a few apprentices; they must teach classes as required.

The seed class, which brings together the essence of the new generation of the Exorcism Sect, is naturally the first choice for the Nascent Soul instructors to teach.

How can you be a deputy director if you can't contribute to the school?

However, although Su Yuan understood the reasoning, the thought that his mentor, Tai Bai, had been his mentor all the way from the advanced class to the preparatory class, and from the preparatory class to the seed class gave Su Yuan a strange feeling.

It was as if, while he was leveling up, his own master was also leveling up.

At this moment, Yang Hao Zhenjun's booming voice rang out, bringing Su Yuan back to his senses.

"I am your mentor in Dao Xin and swordsmanship. You can call me Teacher Yang."

"This is a kendo class. Your task in this class is to choose the kendo style that best suits you. This will determine the content of your kendo classes for the entire academic year to come."

True Lord Yang Hao's words were concise and to the point.

As soon as he finished speaking, a virtual screen appeared above Su Yuan's desk, displaying a list of selectable sword techniques.

Su Yuan quickly glanced at the various sword techniques and found that they were all only Qi Refining stage sword techniques.

Although these sword techniques all have routes to directly advance to the Foundation Establishment and Golden Core levels, Su Yuan needs top-tier sword techniques that start at the Foundation Establishment level.

Clearly, the sword techniques shown on the virtual screen were not intended for Su Yuan.

Sure enough, Yang Hao Zhenjun said:
“Su Yuan, Chi Le’an, and Qi Hanyu, the three of you may choose a sword technique starting from the Foundation Establishment level.”

"A sword technique that can start from the Foundation Establishment level indicates that its cultivation difficulty is far higher than that of the Qi Refining level sword technique."

"This also means that the upper limit of this sword technique is higher, and it can reach the Nascent Soul stage or even the Deity Transformation stage."

"There are very few sword techniques of this level in the entire Exorcism Sect."

"I will make the best suggestions for you based on your performance during military training and preparatory classes."

Upon hearing Yang Hao Zhenjun's words, the other students in the seed class immediately showed envy.

Students who establish their foundation before entering the university receive completely different treatment than those who establish their foundation after entering the university!

Compared to these regular top scorers in the college entrance examination, Su Yuan and his two companions are clearly the real seed students.

After giving a brief explanation, True Monarch Yang Hao first looked at Qi Hanyue, his tone softening slightly:
"Wuji, I heard you've been practicing swordsmanship very diligently lately, and you've already developed a swordsmanship talent second only to the Saintess level, and you'll be able to level up again soon?"

"It seems you're not as playful as you used to be since you became an adult. That's good."

Qi Hanyue was rarely praised by her elders, so she immediately straightened her back and adopted a nonchalant attitude:
"Uncle Yang, it's just a casual practice session, nothing serious."

True Lord Yang Hao said:
"Well said! I'm very satisfied with your momentum, so I specially chose the Heavenly Extreme Sword Technique for you!"

"This sword technique has very ordinary moves, but it has one unique advantage... Heaven rewards diligence. As long as you continue to practice diligently, the power of this sword technique will be increased without limit."

"It complements your boundless talent perfectly."

"Huh? Heaven rewards diligence?"

The pink-haired girl's pretty face froze instantly.

She said cautiously:

"Teacher Yang, what happens if I don't practice diligently enough?"

True Lord Yang Hao: "Then the power of this sword technique will be less than that of ordinary Qi Refining level sword techniques."

Qi Hanyue immediately burst into a silly grin:
"Hahaha, it seems this sword technique isn't suitable for me at all. How about I try something else?"

True Lord Yang Hao said expressionlessly:
"I have already reported to your mother. It must be the Heavenly Sword Technique; it cannot be changed."

The pink-haired girl immediately wailed; the more she enjoyed showing off before, the more pitiful she became now.

True Lord Yang Hao then looked at Chi Le'an:

"The Heavenly Heart Sword Dao is excellent enough, second only to the three Nascent Soul level sword Dao secrets of the Exorcising Evil Sword Sect. You don't need to choose other sword techniques for the time being."

"Yes."

Chi Le'an had anticipated this and immediately nodded.

Finally, True Monarch Yang Hao turned his gaze to Su Yuan.

Looking at this student whom he was meeting for the first time, but who he had heard much about and who was mostly infamous, True Monarch Yang Hao remained silent for a long while before slowly saying:
“Su Yuan, you hardly demonstrated any swordsmanship during your preparatory class and military training.”

"The only time you drew your sword was with your unknown natal demonic sword, not with any swordsmanship, so I don't know which swordsmanship you are suited for."

"I will teach you a few sword techniques based on my experience, and you can choose for yourself."

Su Yuanzheng nodded emphatically, listening attentively.

Then Yang Hao Zhenjun said:

"The Hao Ri Sword Technique is a righteous and upright sword style. When a sword is drawn, it is like the blazing sun, causing all evil to flee. Would you like to learn it?"

Su Yuan: "..."

Oh no, this old man surnamed Yang wants to burn me to death with the righteous sword technique!

This was the first thought that popped into Su Yuan's mind, but he only thought it in his mind and didn't dare to say it out loud.

He pretended to consider it seriously, and after thinking for a while, he asked with a solemn expression:

"Teacher Yang, may I ask if practicing this method allows me to access the school's cultivation resources for free?"

True Lord Yang Hao: "???"
