A strange Spiritual Power trickled out, silently seeping into Ye Lingyun’s body and quietly taking control of the circulation of her Elemental Power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Lingyun’s eyes filled with astonishment. She felt a surge of exceptionally pure Heaven and Earth Energy—not her own—gushing into her like a spring, quickly filling every corner of her body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As this energy poured in, Ye Lingyun’s body couldn’t help but tense up, struggling to withstand the sudden influx of power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, Chu He’s voice, as clear as a spring, sounded in her ear: \"Relax. Accept it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing his words, the tension and unease in her heart instantly vanished. She allowed the energy to flow continuously into her body, feeling it nourish and purify her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The path of a Martial Artist has clearly defined realms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From First Grade Martial Artist to Ninth Grade Martial Artist, each realm has its own unique hallmark: Primordial Energy Drops.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the first Primordial Energy Drop condenses, a Martial Artist truly steps into the First Grade realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And when nine Primordial Energy Drops merge to form a vortex, the Martial Artist transcends the Ninth Grade, becoming a revered King-Sealing Level Martial Artist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Ye Lingyun was witnessing the changes within her body at an astonishing rate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had already reached the realm of a Third Grade Martial Artist through her own efforts, a feat exceedingly rare among her peers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the influence of this mysterious power, her strength once again surged forward by leaps and bounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Elemental Power in Ye Lingyun’s body condensed rapidly, and in a short time, her original three Primordial Energy Drops were joined by a fourth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then a fifth, sixth, seventh... More Primordial Energy Drops quietly formed in her Dantian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All of this happened before her very eyes in less than ten minutes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the Primordial Energy Drops continued to condense, Ye Lingyun’s aura grew steadily more powerful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her body was enveloped in a faint halo of light, exuding a formidable presence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, a full nine Primordial Energy Drops had condensed in her Dantian, meaning she had reached the realm of a Ninth Grade Martial Artist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Ye Lingyun’s strength and presence had both reached a new height.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu He withdrew his floating Immortal Primordial Spirit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like a golden phantom, it slowly merged back into his body and vanished from sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at Ye Lingyun before him and said calmly, \"There. I can only raise your strength to the level of a Ninth Grade Martial Artist. If I were to force you to the King-level,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I could, but I fear you would never be able to advance another step for the rest of your life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The path of Martial Arts must be walked with solid steps to go far.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The King-level is not the final destination for humans. A much broader future should be awaiting you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Ye Lingyun quickly stood up. Her cheeks were flushed with excitement, and her eyes were full of gratitude. \"Thank you, Teacher.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"DING! Detecting Host’s current status...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>New quest triggered: Lead your student to hunt an Evil Spirit of comparable strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quest Completion Reward: Attain the Land Immortal Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Special Note: A Land Immortal is the pinnacle for a Martial Artist in the Mortal World, remaining in the mortal plane, transcendent and detached from the mundane.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A glint flashed in Chu He’s eyes as he heard the system’s prompt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I already possess the Immortal Primordial Spirit. If I can also step into the Land Immortal Realm,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>wouldn’t I be truly unrivaled on Blue Star?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned to Ye Lingyun and asked, \"Have there been any rumors of Evil Spirit sightings in the Great Jing Empire recently?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Lingyun was still reveling in the joy of her newfound power,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>but upon hearing Chu He’s question, she quickly composed herself and replied, \"Yes, Teacher. There have been rumors of an Evil Spirit sighting in Dalang City recently.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu He nodded. \"Then let’s make a trip to Dalang City.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「Demon Cave.」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A slender figure holding a microphone led a livestreaming team, presenting the scenery of this strange land to countless viewers on screen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sunlight filtered through thin clouds, shining down on the barren, rugged ground and creating a mottled pattern of light and shadow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All around, birds chirped and flowers bloomed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The female host, named Lin Yue, did her best to hide the nervousness in her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hello to all our friends watching the stream.

Like the tentacles of the Death God, they rushed swiftly toward the people on site.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yue reacted quickly, but she was still unable to evade the sudden attack in time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, fishhooks pierced her lips, ears, and the skin of her face, brutally hoisting her entire body into the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her legs flailed wildly in the air as she let out a terrified scream.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood sprayed like a fountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Evil Spirit really appeared!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Zong Yajuan’s expression changed drastically.
