I loaded the innate divine power.

Time slips away silently.

Before we knew it, it was around mid-October.

As autumn approaches, the vegetation gradually turns yellow, maple leaves fall, and the golden landscape covering the mountains and fields resembles a scene from a poem.

Sacred Flame Peak.

In a quiet courtyard, Bai Suzhen, dressed in a light gauze dress, sat on a grand chair and looked at a letter in her hand.

Beside him, a well-behaved young girl stood obediently in front of him.

Looking at the contents of the letter in her hand, Bai Suzhen glanced at it and gently put it away.

She picked up the teacup beside her, took a small sip, and remained calm.

"How is Shen Yi doing?"

The young woman cupped her hands in respect and said, "Your Excellency, the young master has been cultivating all this time and has not gone out once. He has made rapid progress and has already entered the fourth level of martial arts and stepped into the Marrow Cleansing Realm. However, my strength is shallow and I cannot know the specific changes."

"Oh?"

Upon hearing the girl's report, a hint of surprise flashed in Bai Suzhen's eyes.

Marrow Cleansing Realm!

His breakthrough was so rapid, in less than a month!?

Even with the help of her own elixirs, being able to break through this dragon gate was still quite a shock to her.

How long has it been?!

It has been less than two months since I brought him to the church.

From the initial stage of Yi Jin Jing to the Xi Sui Jing stage.

Such terrifying growth is rare even within the entire Zoroastrian faith.

"He has already entered the Marrow Cleansing Realm... It seems it's time to give him more responsibilities."

Bai Suzhen smiled faintly and looked at the girl beside her: "Go and inform Lei Bo to call him over."

"yes!"

The girl nodded, then turned and left the courtyard.

……

Sacred Flame Peak.

Mountain and Water Villa.

In the backyard, a figure flashed and disappeared like a ghost.

A chilling aura enveloped the backyard, making it feel like a dark and ghostly place.

Behind that figure, another figure moved about, their afterimages overlapping.

They sped along as fast as two people.

Afterimages lingered.

Extremely fast!

As they stopped walking, the other figure did not immediately disappear. Instead, it lingered for several breaths before slowly fading and finally vanishing completely.

Watching the ghostly clone disappear.

A smile appeared on Shen Yi's face.

The training I've been doing these past few days is finally starting to show its potential.

His progress in the Netherworld Shadow Step was rapid, and this movement technique of his had also reached a new stage.

By conjuring a ghostly clone, this leap forward resulted in a significant improvement in his strength.

Concealing his aura, Shen Yi looked at the control panel.

Golden Crow Body Tempering Technique (Level 7): [4775/9600]

Mysterious Yin Condensation Meridian Technique (Level 6): [2754/6400]

Crimson Flame Palm (Level 3): [1573/1800]

Ghostly Shadow Step (Level 3): [985/2400]

After glancing at the information on the panel, Shen Yi understood it at a glance.

The fastest progress has been made in the Golden Crow Body Tempering Technique, which has already reached nearly halfway through in almost half a month.

Moreover, the time spent on active cultivation is minimal.

These days, he has focused mainly on the Xuan Yin Technique and two other superior martial arts.

Upon reaching the Great Perfection stage, he continuously absorbed the Qi of the Great Sun, and even without actively cultivating, he was making progress every day.

His strength has increased significantly since he broke through to the Marrow Cleansing Realm, and his internal energy has more than doubled.

The Great Sun Fire Seed in the Dantian has grown considerably stronger.

Two kinds of internal energy converged in the dantian, each occupying half of the body.

His increased strength brought him a greater sense of security.

"Young Master, Young Master Lei has arrived and says he wishes to see you."

Just as Shen Yi was about to continue his cultivation, the maid Xiao Qing appeared at the backyard gate, looked at him, and bowed as she spoke.

"Um?"

"Raybo".

Hearing what the maid Xiaoqing said, Shen Yi frowned.

Was this Bai Suzhen's instruction to have Lei Bo test him?

A thought flashed through his mind, and Shen Yi quickly came back to his senses, nodding: "Okay, I understand. Take him to the lobby first, I'll change my clothes and come over."

"Yes."

Xiaoqing responded and then turned to leave.

Shen Yi also stepped out of the backyard.

……

After a short while, Shen Yi changed his clothes and arrived at the main hall of the villa.

"Senior Brother Shen."

Upon seeing Shen Yi appear, Lei Bo immediately stood up and greeted him with a smile.

Shen Yi glanced at Lei Bo, nodded slightly, and then stepped forward to sit in the main seat.

"Junior Brother Lei must have come with something, right?"

Shen Yi got straight to the point.

Lei Bo nodded: "Senior brother is truly prescient. Indeed, something has come up. The Holy Envoy sent me to invite you to the Holy Flame Hall to inform you of something."

"Is he going to test me personally?"

After listening to Lei Bo's words, Shen Yi had a guess in his mind.

However, his face remained expressionless as he looked at Lei Bo and asked, "Junior Brother Lei, do you know why Master summoned me?"

Lei Bo shook his head: "Senior Brother Shen, I don't know about that."

Seeing that he couldn't get any information, Shen Yi didn't hesitate and immediately stood up: "Since it's Master who summoned me, there's no time to lose, so let's go."

Lei Bo also stood up and gestured, "Senior brother, please go first."

Shen Yi strode out of the hall, with Lei Bo following closely behind.

Upon getting close, Lei Bo felt an invisible pressure emanating from Shen Yi, and his heart skipped a beat.

This kind of power... it really shows that he has already stepped into the Marrow Cleansing Realm.

When they first met, Shen Yi was only at the early stage of Yi Jin Jing, but now his strength has reached its peak.

He took that step he had always dreamed of.

This obstacle had been blocking him for years, but now, Shen Yi had arrived ahead of schedule.

The Marrow Cleansing Realm is second only to the status of a Holy Son.

"No rush. He will eventually suffer the backlash from practicing strange arts."

The thought flashed through Lei Bo's mind, and he calmed his restless heart, silently following behind Shen Yi.

……

The Sacred Flame Hall.

The two figures arrived in front of the empty hall, with Shen Yi stepping into the hall first.

As soon as they stepped into the main hall, a figure appeared before them like a ghost.

A slender hand gripped his shoulder, and Shen Yi's internal strength instinctively erupted, but he quickly recovered.

"Not bad, you've reached the Marrow Cleansing Realm so quickly. It seems your talent is even higher than I expected."

A soft voice sounded, and Bai Suzhen slowly withdrew her hand, looking at Shen Yi with a smile on her face.

"Greetings, Master."

Shen Yi quickly came to his senses and bowed with his hands clasped.

"Greetings, Holy Envoy." Lei Bo also bowed.

Bai Suzhen nodded slightly, glanced at Lei Bo beside her, and said, "You can go down now."

"..."

So I was just a messenger.

A hint of resentment rose in Lei Bo's heart, but he put on a respectful expression, bowed, and then turned and left the Holy Fire Hall.

After watching Lei Bo leave, Bai Suzhen's gaze finally fell on Shen Yi.

She did not speak.

His eyes were fixed on Shen Yi.

It was as if they wanted to see right through him.

Being stared at so quietly by Bai Suzhen, Shen Yi felt a strange chill run down his spine.

He broke the silence and spoke first: "I wonder what instructions Master has for me?"

Bai Suzhen looked at Shen Yi, her eyes gleaming: "You've broken through to the Marrow Cleansing Realm, why don't you register?"

?

Hearing Bai Suzhen's question, Shen Yi was taken aback, but quickly came to his senses.

"Master, I've been cultivating these past few days and haven't had a chance to register yet. I'll go register in a bit."

Bai Suzhen looked at him and said calmly, "There's no need to rush to register. Now that your cultivation has improved, you can go any day. I called you here because there's another matter."

"They're here!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Yi knew the key point was coming, but he remained expressionless.

Bai Suzhen looked at him and produced a letter as if by magic, saying, "This matter is related to the information inside. You can take a look first."
