That leader broke through two thousand six hundred armors with one breath and held out until his disciples arrived to rescue him.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'That incident shocked court and realm alike—fourth-transformation peak could only manage one breath of fifteen hundred armors, yet he nearly doubled that.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'But afterward, that Demon Cult leader vanished without a trace. The Six Sects suspect he was mortally wounded, which is why they now besiege Yun Ding.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the girl’s rapt expression, Fang Can silently shook his head—it was truly a different time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had he arrived in the Martial World without suppression, a fourth-transformation’s full strike could obliterate a city of a million people effortlessly—but now he was a dragon stranded in shallow waters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Yet, Master Fang, your talent is astonishing—you’ve already reached third-transformation at such a young age. Fourth-transformation will surely be a mere formality,' Ji Xinyu said with admiration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Can smiled faintly, offering no explanation that he was merely first-transformation, and asked: 'With the Six Sects now besieging Yun Ding, will you still join the main force?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Of course. With all six sects united, this is the moment to eradicate the Demon Cult—orthodoxy shall flourish thereafter. We must act.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Xinyu said earnestly, then looked hopefully at Fang Can: 'Master, why not join us up the mountain? With your strength, you’ll surely earn great renown in the martial world.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After considering the girl’s suggestion, Fang Can decided it would do no harm to witness the Six Sects’ prowess, and nodded lightly: 'I have no objection. I’ll be relying on you for the next few days.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl beamed with joy, waving her hands: 'Master, you flatter us—you’ve saved us from certain death. And with great enemies ahead, we should be thanking you.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she spoke, her gaze lingered dreamily on Fang Can’s face, collarbone, and hips—unaware that her blatant stares were all seen by Fang Can, who felt baffled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scanning the encampment, seeing this female-dominated force, their glances flickered toward him intermittently—he knew the coming days would be anything but dull.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After eliminating the small Demon Cult Xuanwu Flag unit and burying the corpses, the group continued riding toward Yun Ding. After another day’s travel, they finally reached the town at the mountain’s base.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a town beneath the Demon Cult’s mountain, some demon sect families had been stationed here—but with the Six Sects advancing, the townsfolk had long since evacuated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, the town had become a full-fledged stronghold of orthodox martial forces; original residents were gone, replaced entirely by righteous cultivators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The combined numbers of the Six Sects’ twelve clans and assorted minor sects exceeded ten thousand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the largest righteous-versus-demon gathering in centuries—both sides had emptied their ranks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Xinyu, as senior disciple, rode at the front. After verifying her sect’s identity, she was granted entry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not far into the town, a joyful voice rang out: 'Xinyu! We’ve been waiting for you so long.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Can turned at the sound and saw a beautiful woman with a sword standing nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the woman, Xinyu dismounted quickly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Master, we encountered unexpected trouble on the road—a group of demon female bandits. Had it not been for Master Fang’s aid, my teacher and I might never have met again.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'What!' the woman gasped, then exhaled in relief upon seeing her disciple unharmed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her gaze then fell on the silver-haired man on horseback, wearing a wooden thunder-patterned mask that concealed his face. She hesitated: 'Xinyu, who is this young hero...?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Master, it was Master Fang who saved us. Though new to the martial world, he has already reached third-transformation.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Xinyu introduced him: 'Upon hearing of the campaign against the Demon Cult, Master Fang generously offered to assist.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Third-transformation...' Hearing her disciple’s words, the woman stared in astonishment at the man on horseback.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She herself, past thirty, had barely entered first-transformation—and the boy looked no older than a teenager.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meeting her gaze, Fang Can politely bowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman smiled warmly: 'Thank you, Master, for saving my disciple. I am Yang Danhong of Yanfeng Sect.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Merely acting on justice.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Can lightly adjusted the wooden mask on his face—he had re-worn it mid-journey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, outside, he was well aware of his own allure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a matriarchal world. To avoid turning this into a battlefield of lust, it was better to conceal his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, if these women wanted to rape him, it would be only natural.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inns and large manors had already been seized by major sects. Under Yanfeng Sect’s guidance, they found a civilian house assigned to their group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Out of respect for Fang Can’s realm and gender, he was granted a private room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After declining Ji Xinyu’s offer to bring him bathwater, Fang Can sat cross-legged on his bed and began slowly activating the [Seven Sins Manifest Demon Scripture]!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After much deliberation, Fang Can had ultimately chosen to cultivate this scripture, which directly points to eighth-transformation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he followed the scripture’s method, he began visualizing the emotion-bead of Pride.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the first sin in the scripture, its importance was undeniable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scripture’s nature was like a snowball rolling downhill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each subsequent sin amplified upon the foundation of the first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, the stronger Pride became, the greater the amplification of every following sin—and the more terrifying the scripture’s power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to the scripture, a first-transformation cultivator, investing a century’s worth of emotional accumulation, could barely construct a standard Pride Gate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that was only for a conventional first-transformation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Can, now a first-transformation surpassing the third-transformation’s limit, with his entire body capable of thought, possessed dozens of times more emotional power than normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Merely the fleeting overflow of his emotional desires equaled a century’s labor of a standard first-transformation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Yet... if I’m going to cultivate, I might as well go all the way!'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gazing at the Ningjuerchengdeaomanzhizhu , Fang Can’s eyes flickered with solemnity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1166,"2026-06-20T07:05:47.052Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","abc213b6c6e41b80553508bb2cd8277c68dd5e17c8924888ccde2917cc392617","this-high-martial-world-is-too-crazy-chapter-318","this-high-martial-world-is-too-crazy-chapter-316",368,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthis-high-martial-world-is-too-crazy-cover.jpg"]
