Please be my partner.

In that case, these True Immortals would have a huge first-mover advantage.

However, the trials in the Outer Heavens are always unpredictable, and anything can happen. Who among those who can become a true immortal doesn't have a few cheat codes?!

Therefore, there is no need to remind you of this kind of thing, let alone so-called fairness. Being able to get ahead is naturally your own ability.

During the day, Mellen engaged in social interactions with his fellow disciples, and at night he spent most of the night converting the magical energy within his body.

In the latter half of the night, Mellen slowly opened his eyes, preparing to take action.

Chapter 724 [Nine Revolutions of the Galaxy]

Mellen is still at the ninth level of Qi Refining, but the magical power within his body is more abundant and pure than before. This is the effect of the [Jade Light Circulation Technique].

Furthermore, because it was nighttime, the time when the power of the stars was at its most concentrated, Mellen could feel the power of the stars flowing into his body like a gentle stream, nourishing his physical body and magical power.

A faint, shimmering white light rose from Mellen's body, enveloping him entirely. Within this shimmering white light, lines were constantly rotating, which was the Jade Purity Divine Light that would be born from cultivating the Jade Light Circulation Technique.

This is the advantage of prestigious sects: their cultivation methods not only have a solid foundation and profound magical power, but they also often come with their own magical abilities, making them many times superior to those unorthodox sects.

At this time, Mellen was only in the Qi Refining stage, and the Jade Purity Divine Light he cultivated was not yet strong, but it was comparable to many spells. More importantly, it was both offensive and defensive, and easy to use.

Those spells stronger than the Jade Purity Divine Light are either extremely difficult to cultivate or have harsh prerequisites, which are simply unimaginable for ordinary cultivators.

Upon reaching the Core Formation stage, the Jade Purity Divine Light can transform into a supernatural power, far surpassing ordinary spells. Combined with the unique magical treasures of the Jade Purity Sect, it naturally becomes superior to other spells of the same level.

This is the foundation of a great sect; it is true for the Azure Moon Realm as well as the Immortal Realm.

Under Mellen's powerful control, all his aura was sealed within his body. If one did not see him with their own eyes, even a Nascent Soul True Monarch would find it difficult to detect him with their divine sense.

Immediately afterwards, faint lights rose from beneath Mellen's feet. Upon closer inspection, one would discover that these lights were actually tiny runes.

As the runes of light flashed, Mellen's body gradually became transparent and disappeared from sight.

Now, Murren has essentially achieved complete concealment.

After making the preparations, Mellen headed straight for the Jade Purity Sect's library, the very place where he had received the Jade Light Circulation Technique during the day.

For cultivators, there isn't much difference between day and night, but humans are ultimately accustomed to being active during the day and resting at night, even those who become extraordinary cultivators are no exception.

After passing through a quiet forest, crossing an empty square, and dodging layers of detection arrays, Mellen soon arrived at the library.

Although the library's main gate was not closed at this time, it was already shrouded in a layer of warning array. If an ordinary person wanted to enter, it would definitely alert the guards inside.

But these were not difficult tasks for Mellen; he had already figured them out when he came to collect the cultivation technique during the day.

With Mellen's knowledge and understanding, the array formations of the library, no, rather the entire Jade Purity Sect, seemed incredibly crude to him and could be easily broken. The only difficulty was that his current cultivation level was too weak.

Mellen arrived at the side of the library, a faint light emanating from his fingertips. He gently touched several points on the warning array, and a crack immediately appeared in the array. After Mellen nimbly stepped inside, the crack was healed by the energy flowing through the array.

Arriving at the entrance of the library, Mellen glanced at the two tall mechanical puppets at the door and walked past them without a second thought.

Speaking of which, there is also a pseudo-core elder in the library. However, this elder rarely appears on weekdays, and only secludes himself in the depths of the library to cultivate diligently. He will only occasionally wander around the library and give some disciples some guidance. For ordinary inner disciples, this is considered a good opportunity.

The Jade Purity Sect's library has nine floors. The first floor contains miscellaneous notes related to the cultivation world, as well as ordinary cultivation methods or spells, which are of limited value.

The techniques, secret methods, and spells recorded on the second to fifth levels are much more profound, and only inner disciples can enter and select them by spending sect contributions.

The sixth floor is the core of the library's formation, where the fake Core Formation Elder went into seclusion.

The seventh to ninth floors contain relatively important cultivation techniques and secret manuals of the Jade Purity Sect. Of course, this is only relative; the core inheritances of the seven lineages are all on their respective mountain peaks and are not placed in this public library.

Murren walked through the library, skipping over the books on the first floor and heading straight for the second.

Each layer has its own independent monitoring and protection array, but these were no challenge for Mellen. He easily opened each layer of protection and soon reached the fifth layer.

The fifth floor has far fewer cultivation manuals than the lower floors, with only a dozen or so bookshelves, and some manuals are even placed separately.

Mellen glanced at it and immediately focused his gaze on a white jade slip. After breaking the restriction on it, he read the information inside.

Just as Mellen had expected, the jade slip contained the [Jade Light Circulation Method], but unfortunately, it was still not the complete version, with the highest level only reaching the Core Formation stage.

Mellen frowned, but wasn't exactly disappointed.

After recording the contents of the jade slip, Mellen put it back and prohibited its restoration.

Only then did he look at other cultivation manuals.

Over the next hour, Mellen meticulously recorded the techniques for the fifth level...

[Purple Lightning Divine Skill], [Bright Sun Divine Skill], [Heavenly Fire Spreads Across the Plains], [Sword Heart Connects with the Divine]...

These cultivation methods can all be cultivated to the Core Formation stage, but their strengths vary greatly. Some are clearly ambitious and are fragments of powerful cultivation methods, while others give Mellen a chaotic feeling. Even if one manages to cultivate to the Core Formation stage, the path ahead will be almost completely blocked.

However, Mellen accepted all offers; even those techniques that seemed to lead nowhere still held some value for him.

After putting the last book back in its place, Murren glanced at the stairs leading to the sixth floor, then turned and left.

Currently, Mellen doesn't have the ability to tamper with things under Elder False Dan's nose, but once he goes back and absorbs this wave of 'experience,' he should be able to do so by then.

That's about right, enough to crush the entire Jade Purity Sect!

Murren left quietly, just as he had come quietly, waving his sleeves without taking away a single cloud.

Back at his residence, he activated the built-in protective array. In Mellen's eyes, this array was also full of loopholes, some of which were due to poor skill, while others were clearly 'backdoors' deliberately left out.

Mellen didn't modify these 'backdoors'; he simply made some arrangements on top of them.

Several hours later, as dawn broke, Mellen finished organizing his harvest. Instead of directly cultivating the Jade Light Circulation Technique, he used it as the core, along with many other techniques as the framework, and with his own high-dimensional understanding, created a more powerful technique that was more suitable for him.

Mellen named it... [Nine Turns of the Galaxy].

【Nine Revolutions of the Star River】At each realm, one can use the power of the stars in the heavens to refine one's physical body and magical power, causing the strength of the physical body and the amount of magical power to increase dramatically, reaching several times or even more than ten times the level of the same level. This is considered as one revolution.

Therefore, the current stage of [Nine Revolutions of the Star River] is actually only the third revolution to the Core Formation Realm. Reaching the Void Refinement Realm is equivalent to the sixth revolution. As for the seventh, eighth and ninth revolutions after the Void Refinement Realm, they actually correspond to the legendary realms of the Azure Moon Realm... Integration, Mahayana, and Immortality.

Yeah! Don't worry about whether it's true or not, that's the point!

Mellen stood up, feeling the increasingly surging magical power within him, and couldn't help but chuckle.

After calculating the time, Mellen left his residence and headed straight for the Exchange Pavilion, where he could exchange sect contributions for various resources, pills, magic artifacts, and so on.

Of course, if you don't have sect contributions, inner disciples can also use spirit stones to buy things at a fair price. However, if you use spirit stones, the items in the exchange pavilion are actually not cheaper than those in the outside market. The only advantage is that they are more comprehensive.

Amidst the strange looks from the surrounding disciples, Mellen did not hesitate to spend all 7500 spirit stones he had obtained from Mei Zhihong.

This is not only Mei Zhihong's own accumulation over the years, but also includes all the working capital of the spiritual plant shop. It can be said that even if Mei Zhihong concealed it, it would probably explode in a few days.

This extravagant spending immediately put Mellen in the spotlight, but he didn't care.

After obtaining the resources, Mellen went straight to the mission pavilion to browse the missions.

According to the instructions of the Joint Trial, after the King of the Otherworldly Demons entered the Azure Moon Realm and fell into a deep sleep, his power would unconsciously leak out due to his injuries, causing monsters called Otherworldly Demons to be born in the Azure Moon Realm.

This is somewhat similar to the kinship of the starry universe; in essence, it is the contamination of low-energy life by high-energy life.

Therefore, Mellen felt that perhaps some clues could be found in the mission of Yuqing Sect.

Soon, Mellen identified several problematic missions. Although inner disciples could only accept one mission at a time when going out to do missions, Mellen's purpose was not to complete the missions to gain contribution points, so he could go to all of these places.

Just as Mellen was about to leave, several figures approached him. The leader was a refined-looking young man with a friendly smile on his lips. He said in a gentle voice, "This junior brother looks unfamiliar. May I ask your name?"

Mellen glanced at him, then looked away to continue recording the mission information, casually asking, "Something wrong?"

The refined young man froze for a moment, and his lackey immediately roared angrily, "New guy, open your dog eyes and take a good look! You don't even recognize Senior Brother Ren?!"

Senior Brother Ren waved his hand, interrupting his junior brother's challenge, and continued in a gentle tone: "Junior brother, you must have just joined the Jade Purity Sect not long ago. My name is Ren Ningdan. It seems you are choosing a sect mission. You should know that some sect missions may seem ordinary, but they are actually quite dangerous. Especially since you have only recently joined the sect, your spells are not yet proficient, and you have little experience in combat, you should be even more careful."

"However, I, Ren Ningdan, usually enjoy mentoring and guiding others..."

Before Ren Ningdan could finish speaking, Mellen had already finished recording the information. Without even glancing at Ren Ningdan, he casually accepted an outing assignment and turned to leave.

Ren Ningdan froze on the spot, a fierce glint flashing in her eyes.

After leaving Yuqing Gate, Mellen glanced back, sighed softly, and walked slowly into the distance.

After traveling only ten miles, a whooshing sound came from the sky. Ren Ningdan and his two followers were standing on a small boat floating in the air, looking down at Mellen.

Ren Ningdan's gaze was indifferent, as if she were looking at a dead man, while her two henchmen sneered and echoed each other...

"Mellen? You, from a mere small family, dare to disregard Senior Brother Ren? You've already committed suicide!"

"Hmph! Mellen, I heard you spent thousands of spirit stones at the exchange pavilion? How could you possibly have so many spirit stones? You must have stolen Senior Brother Ren's things. Quickly hand over all the resources and pills you exchanged!"

“He’s clumsy and obviously not a good person. Don’t waste words with him, just search him directly, lest he hide Senior Brother Ren’s treasures.”

“That’s right! A petty thief, I don’t know how he managed to infiltrate the sect. I’m ashamed to associate with such a person, so I’d better kill him to avoid tarnishing the sect’s reputation!”

"..."

As the two exchanged words, Mellen's 'identity' changed rapidly, quickly transforming him into a heinous villain whom everyone wanted to kill.

With such a rapid-fire exchange of words, Mellen couldn't get a word in edgewise.

Ren Ningdan didn't make a move immediately, but looked in two other directions, and then heard two voices coming one after the other...

"Hahaha! Senior Brother Ren, it seems I'm not late! I can't let you eat all by yourself!"

"Hehe! I also heard the news that Junior Brother Mellen spent several thousand spirit stones in one go. Senior brothers, could you let me have a share too?"

The two figures, one rugged and bold, the other delicate and charming, both exuded confidence.

Ren Ningdan looked calmly at the two new groups of people and said, "Song Yongkang, Qin Lianlian, do you want to compete with me?"

The burly man Song Yongkang chuckled, glanced at the two brothers beside him, and said, "Brother Ren, you're being a bit too polite. Since we brothers are here, everyone who sees it should get a share!"

The charming Qin Lianlian came alone. She covered her mouth and laughed, "Senior brother, are you perhaps planning to eat alone? It wouldn't sound good if word got out, would it?"

Ren Ningdan's eyes flashed with a hint of contemplation, and she nodded, saying, "In that case, I want 50%, and if he has any special treasures, those are mine too. You can divide the rest among yourselves."

Song Yongkang and Qin Lianlian seemed somewhat dissatisfied with this distribution method, but before they could say anything, Ren Ningdan took out a jade flute and played with it in her hand, while calmly saying, "Or perhaps, junior brothers and sisters want to test my methods?"

Song Yongkang and Qin Lianlian hesitated. Ren Ningdan came from an extraordinary background and was one of the most prominent figures among the inner disciples of the Yuqing Sect. Even if the two of them joined forces, they might not be able to defeat her.

Just as the three were secretly vying for dominance, Mellen coughed lightly and said with amusement, "You guys really don't take me seriously, do you? You just split me up like that?"

Ren Ningdan and Song Yongkang completely ignored what Mei Lun said. In their eyes, Mei Lun was just meat on a chopping board, only to be slaughtered. Qin Lianlian, on the other hand, gave Mei Lun a flirtatious wink, looking rather seductive.

Mellen shrugged, deciding not to continue playing dumb, or rather, he never had that idea in the first place.

A ray of starlight rose, and in an instant, day turned into night. High in the sky, countless stars twinkled with a faint light.

Chapter 725 Strange Events in Ningjia Village

A complete transformation, a radical change!

Upon witnessing this extraordinary power that could change the sun and moon, Ren Ningdan and her two companions, along with their followers, were immediately terrified.

Ren Ningdan shouted, "This is... a Golden Core Domain?! No! Impossible!! Could it be a magic treasure capable of creating a domain?!"

Ren Ningdan looked at Mellen with fear in her eyes, but mixed in with that fear was an uncontrollable greed.

Mellen chuckled lightly: "Since you've come looking for trouble, you must be prepared to die. I'll send you on your way now."

Ren Ningdan quickly said, "Wait! Junior Brother Mellen, this is all a misunderstanding..."

Mellen ignored him and, before Ren Ningdan could finish speaking, casually threw a punch. A wisp of Jade Purity Divine Light, mixed with the whistling spiritual energy, swept past Ren Ningdan, Song Yongkang, and Qin Lianlian. The three of them, along with their followers, were all turned into dust and scattered, leaving only a few spiritual objects falling from the sky.

Speaking of which, although Ren Ningdan, Song Yongkang, and Qin Lianlian have impressive reputations and are considered prominent figures among the inner disciples of the Yuqing Sect, in reality, Ren Ningdan is only at the eighth level of Qi Refining, while Song Yongkang and Qin Lianlian are only at the seventh level of Qi Refining.

Compared to her cultivation level, Ren Ningdan's identity is even more troublesome. The Ren family is much stronger than the Mei family. Not only does the family have a Core Formation Realm ancestor in his prime, but Ren Ningdan's cousin is also the disciple of the leader of the Aoyun lineage among the Seven Jade Pure Lineages.

Although the incident started because the three men coveted Mellen's resources and attempted to rob him, and were ultimately killed by Mellen, the cultivation world has always been one of siding with one's own family rather than with what is right. The three men's relatives will not simply let the matter pass just because Mellen acted in self-defense; subsequent investigations and even pursuit are inevitable.

Before that, Mellen needs to improve his own strength as soon as possible.

They picked up the items the group had left behind, including three storage bags and several magical artifacts. After taking stock of the items in the storage bags, they found that the total value was about one or two thousand spirit stones. Of course, most of these items were provided by Ren Ningdan.

This is what it means to have a golden belt for murder and arson!

After fiddling with the flatboat artifact, Mellen unleashed his magic, and the flatboat instantly transformed into a leaf that landed in his palm.

Mellen had no intention of using the flying artifact. Instead, after tidying everything up, he quickly walked away in a different direction.

The next day, a figure flew in and landed above the forest where Mellen had made his move. After observing for a moment, his expression gradually became serious.

At this time, Mellen had traveled a hundred miles and was resting on a low mountain.

The campfire crackled, and a makeshift grill sat atop it, laden with large chunks of meat that sizzled and popped.

Mellen swallowed several pills like candy beans, and the surging magical power within his body enveloped and refined them.

A few minutes later, Mellen exhaled, the breath carrying a grayish-green hue. As it landed on the ground, it gave off a sense of decay, which was the poison from the elixir.

With his powerful control, Mellen directly refined the pill a second time within his body, absorbing its essence and spitting out the useless waste.
