I loaded the innate divine power.

After finishing his dinner, Shen Yi did not stop and continued to practice the Crimson Flame Palm.

Driven by the power of Yang energy, he entered the fourth level, and his power greatly improved.

……

The night was long and dark, and by midnight, not a single star could be seen in the sky.

Having completely mastered the intricacies of "Red Flame," Shen Yi finally dragged his exhausted body to sleep.

-

As dawn broke and the first rays of sunlight shone on Sacred Flame Peak, Shen Yi awoke from his dream.

Feeling the energy surging through his body, Shen Yi looked out the window.

"We have to act today, but we don't know who will be involved."

Shen Yi fell into deep thought.

Team up for action.

He was unaware of the details.

All of this must be done according to Bai Suzhen's arrangements.

He didn't mind this, after all, he knew very few disciples in the Zoroastrian Church.

The only one I'm familiar with is Lei Bo.

The other disciples were either people I had only met once or twice, or people I didn't know at all.

If he were to actually seek out other disciples to collaborate with, he really wouldn't know who to turn to.

"But they're probably all disciples at the Marrow Cleansing Realm..."

Although teammates are uncertain, team formation still depends on skill level.

You can't just send a burden along.

If that's the case, then he doesn't care. In an emergency, even a burden can be used to his advantage.

At the very least, it can shield you from bullets when faced with insurmountable danger.

Although the Demonic Sect forbids its disciples from fighting each other, and anyone found doing so will be severely punished.

But the prerequisite is that you have to "discover" it.

If it wasn't discovered, then it never happened.

This is the most straightforward survival rule within the demonic sect.

He's no saint.

In a place like this, mercy is shown, and people don't even know how they died.

"Forget it, I don't want to think about it too much. They should be able to pass on the message soon, I'll know when I get there."

Putting aside the distracting thoughts in his mind, Shen Yi immediately got up and washed up.

……

Having just finished enjoying a nutritious and delicious breakfast, Shen Yi put down his soup spoon when a figure strode over.

The maid Xiaoqing stepped forward, bowed respectfully, and said, "Young Master, the Holy Envoy has ordered you to go to the Holy Fire Hall."

"Are you here...?"

Upon hearing Xiaoqing's message, Shen Yi turned his gaze toward the Sacred Flame Hall in the distance.

Turning his gaze away from Xiaoqing, Shen Yi nodded gently: "Okay, I understand."

Immediately, Shen Yi got up, went back to his room, and changed into a set of black bodysuit that allowed for easy movement.

This clothing is also a perk for the chief disciple.

Aside from not contributing any points, you don't need to worry about anything else, such as food, clothing, housing, or transportation.

Even at the Holy Son stage, the Zoroastrian Church does not offer free contribution points.

If you want to contribute points, you'll have to do it yourself.

My status was earned entirely through my own efforts.

After changing into a dark-colored outfit, Shen Yi stepped out the door and headed towards the Holy Fire Hall.

……

Before long, Shen Yi arrived in front of the Sacred Flame Hall.

Upon entering the Sacred Flame Hall, Bai Suzhen was not present; only a man and a woman stood there.

Shen Yi's gaze fell on the two of them.

A man and a woman also turned around and looked over.

"Um?"

"He's a disciple of Biyang!"

Upon seeing the faces clearly, Shen Yi was taken aback. He didn't recognize the woman in the red outfit, but he did recognize the young man in the outfit.

The young man I met after clearing the Sacred Flame Cave was Ji Boda, who was at the Marrow Cleansing Realm!

His impression of it was still quite deep.

"Junior Brother Shen, we meet again."

Ji Boda smiled and spoke, then walked up to him.

"Senior Brother Ji," Shen Yi said with a smile, cupping his hands in greeting.

Ji Boda looked at Shen Yi, about to speak, but the smile on his face suddenly froze.

Washing...Marrow Cleansing Realm!?

Sensing a faint fluctuation of energy emanating from Shen Yi, Ji Boda's pupils constricted sharply.

Just over ten days ago, he was only at the late stage of the Yi Jin stage, and now, in less than half a month, he has broken through to the Xi Sui stage!?

Moreover, he even felt an invisible pressure emanating from Shen Yi.

Such a powerful surge of energy must be close to the mid-stage of the Marrow Cleansing Realm, right?

No, what kind of monster is this?!

Even the twelve Holy Sons didn't have such a monstrous improvement back then!

It took less than half a month to go from the late stage of Yi Jin Jing to the early stage of Xi Sui Jing.

He even doubted whether he was sensing something wrong.

"Junior Brother Shen...you...you've broken through to the Marrow Cleansing Realm?"

Ji Boda looked at Shen Yi with an expression as if he had seen a ghost, his shock undisguised, still unable to believe it.

He'd seen many geniuses.

I am a genius myself.

But compared to Shen Yi, his genius was nothing.

It took him a year to break through from the late stage of Yi Jin to the perfect stage, and it took him a full three years to break through from the perfect stage of Yi Jin to the Marrow Cleansing stage.

Four years in total!

But Shen Yi only took less than half a month!

This is ridiculous! Even a blessing wouldn't be this outrageous!

Did they eat an elixir of immortality?

Looking at Ji Boda's expression, Shen Yi nodded slightly: "I just broke through not long ago, and I am also very grateful for the pills bestowed by my master. Otherwise, it might have taken me a while longer."

"..."

Upon hearing Shen Yi's words, Ji Boda's heart skipped a beat.

I reluctantly accepted this reality, but I couldn't suppress the calm in my heart.

This shock truly shattered his understanding of the world.

Even with the aid of elixirs, to leapfrog to this level in nearly half a month is simply a fantasy!

"Marrow Cleansing Realm?! Isn't that the late stage of Tendon Changing Technique?" The woman in red looked at Shen Yi with a stunned expression.

Before I came here, I heard Ji Boda say that the chief disciple of Sacred Flame Peak was at the late stage of Yi Jin, so how did he suddenly become the Xi Sui realm?

She thought this team-up would bring a burden, but this reversal was truly unexpected.

This leap is simply outrageous!

"Senior Brother Ji, who is this?"

Shen Yi's gaze fell on the woman in red not far away.

Upon hearing this, the two immediately came to their senses. The woman in red quickly stepped forward and smiled, "I am Xu Qing from Biyang Peak. I have long heard of the name of the chief disciple of Shenghuo Peak. Meeting you today, I can confirm that your reputation is well-deserved."

"She's also a disciple of Biyang." Hearing Xu Qing's self-introduction, Shen Yi understood.

With a cultivation level at the mid-stage of the Marrow Cleansing Realm, his strength surpasses that of Ji Boda.

Shen Yi didn't presume, and cupped his hands in greeting: "Greetings, Senior Sister Xu."

Xu Qing returned the greeting with a fist and a fist salute, and said with a smile, "I didn't expect Junior Brother Shen to be so strong. With such talent, I'll have to call you Senior Brother Shen when I see you in the future."

Upon hearing this, Shen Yi smiled slightly: "Senior sister, you flatter me. I am not a genius. I have only been able to cultivate to this point by relying on special techniques."

"Special arts!?"

The moment Shen Yi spoke, the two of them froze, staring at him with wide eyes.

"Junior Brother Shen, are you saying you've cultivated some kind of supernatural technique!?"

Ji Boda looked at him in shock and couldn't help but ask a question.

Seeing the expressions on their faces, Shen Yi understood. He nodded calmly, "Yes, I have indeed cultivated two unusual techniques."

!!!

Shen Yi's words once again stirred up a storm in their hearts.

He possesses extraordinary abilities, and has even mastered two of them!?

Is this guy really not afraid of dying?!

Don't you know the consequences of practicing unorthodox techniques?

If one cultivates supernatural arts and is corrupted by demonic killing intent, completely transforming into a bloodthirsty demon, then one is practically a puppet like an armored demon.

That's still considered good; in severe cases, the demons' murderous intent could destroy them, causing them to go mad and die.

One in ten thousand people could survive the backlash of supernatural arts.

Ninety-nine percent of them will be backfired by the murderous intent of the strange arts.

These two extraordinary techniques are, in theory, almost equivalent to a death sentence!

To have survived to this day while practicing two extraordinary techniques is nothing short of a miracle.

The two looked at Shen Yi as if he were a monster.

Within the Holy Church, it is not that no one has practiced supernatural arts.

Those disciples who practiced supernatural arts are now buried under grass that's already ten feet tall.

Exterminate them all, leave no one alive!

This is not a legend, but a bloody reality.

Forbidden techniques even purer than demonic arts, the mortality rate is no exaggeration.

How did he manage to survive until now, having mastered two extraordinary techniques?
