Lust, like Vengeance, Demands Red 193 Unkown future.

The cores were rare and of high value, a common talented Disciple couldn' those to even see them.

But Xia Chu was already at the sixth level, she didn't have reason to keep these cores, then Zhi Rui remembered the true nature of Bain Bengwan and chukled. 'Even his parents don't trust him to keep valuables. What sad creature he is.'

After a good laugh, Zhi Rui's eye shone. Inside the storage pouch, was a wealth of valuable materials for alchemy and weaponsmithing. But Zhi Rui found something even better than that.

She called it out form the storage pouch, a small square sheet of paper fell on her hands, the drawings inside were exquisite but too entangled for someone to understand it. But the clear words on the top said. "(Level four permanent strength increase spell)

A spell that evolves together with the person, as long as the tattoo has enough inner energy, the Zhi Rui's overall strength would have a qualitative change in her physic of twenty percent. Suddenly Zhi Rui narrowed her eyes. These things were expansive and hard to make, only the Main branch of the light sect worked with these kids of Tatto spells. To have something like this, you need either luck or extreme high status.

Zhi Rui tapped her tighs with her index finger and tilted her head to the side measuring risks and value.

But in the end, she just smirked and latched it on her thigh. She was in a weakened state right now, twenty percent more strength could save her life.

tap.

Silvery put her hands on the ground and got up. Zhi Rui looked with a smile and closed her eyes. Through their connection, Zhi Rui felt overwhelming heat from Silvery's body. Although she couldn't interfere with Silvery's insides, she could still roam about in it. Even more so with her accomplishment in the astral body.

And she also saw the inner energy inside. Like the furnace fire she brought, there was a lake of illusory hot white fire burning inside Silvery's aperture.

It was as beautiful as it was deadly.

Silvery opened her eyes "I have a 99.99 percent affinity with fire, but cannot feel even the smell of other elements."

Her body had, for some reason, grew, into a young adult. 'Well, this ritual was supposed to nurture the body too, I was the one who did it wrong before.' Zhi Rui thought. they were about to discuss how to go about cultivation to coordinate but Hilda interrupted.

"It's morning," She said.

This was the day, the underworld gate opened and the hight level personnel entered the underworld to build the base for the sect, three days later, it'd be the strong disciples like Zhi Rui's time to enter, and the competition would officially start.

There wasn't much more time. Zhi Rui took Blackie out of her core and patted her head.

She communicated her will through the familiar and master connection and the fire panther looked at Silvery with an eager expression. Making Zhi Rui snort unhappily

She slapped the fire panthers butt and the cat jumped away. She transferred the storage pouches and used the golden one herself and threw the old storage pouch to Silvery, together with the simple method of changing the appearance, she had the fire element as main affinity so even if somebody discovered she was hiding her face, no one would suspect she was Zhi Rui, unless the disguise was taken off.

"Go to the interconnected store, and choose a suitable first core. and a pill to max muscles capacity."

Silvery's core shard, came from a level four core, the quality of her physic was of the fourth level since the beginning, now, after the ritual, her strength would be absurdly high. having at least half the physic of a common level three. And coupled with her leisure to choose each core without pressure as well as The Lust method that Zhi Rui passed to her. It could be said, that She was way more strong than Zhi Rui herself.

Thoughts swam in her mind. She had already made plans regarding her clone, and, although they knew each other more than anybody else, they can't read minds. not even feelings. So there was still room for plot based on own interest.

"Let's go," Zhi Rui said and brought Hilda and Silvery to the Sect's doorman, she made him gave Silvery a token, with her name on it, she was an official disciple now.

After doing so Zhi Rui went away to the Barbarian kingdom. She stormed the white manor without care.

Rain, the daughter of the neutral faction's chief Alpha. followed behind.
She looked frowningly at Zhi Rui's back.

"You don't need to be so passive-aggressive with your feelings you know." Zhi Rui chukled.

"The deal was for me to follow beside you." Rain said with a flat tone.

"Sorry, I forgot about that. But you can follow me now, rather, I need you to follow me." Zhi Rui said, laughing, totally ignoring the young woman's mood.

Rain didn't say another word. She knew it'd be useless to complain more, she got her objective, that was to follow Zhi Rui, so it was wiser to just follow along for now.

In a second they were in front of the master bedroom. Zhi Rui shoved the huge door open.

The siblings were sleeping soundly beside each other. Rubble and Crystal snuggled on each other, naked, on the bed, without covers.

Zhi Rui looked back at Rain questioningly. To which Rain replied matter of factly. "They are the closest to the original race than we have ever been. The prospects of bringing back that glory outweigh any taboo."

Remembering Zheng Li, Zhi Rui chukled. "I see no issues with it, a person can live any pleasure they crave. But remember to not force them to breed between sons or grandsons. Genetic problems will arise. This is the knowledge of that ancient man in the stele, so don't doubt it. Now come"

Zhi Rui spoke and suddenly reached with her hand. Rain stepped back with wide eyes, but with absurd simplicity, the beautiful smooth hand followed her and touched her shoulders. In a second she was inside the golden storage pouch, that could keep living beings now. that's why Zhi Rui took it.

Zhi Rui walked to the bed and took the sleeping siblings into her storage pouch as well. Then she bolted back to the sect.

She'd take these two as hidden chess pieces on to the underworld. until then, they'll remain hidden inside sweety.

With her speed, they were back on the sect in less than half a day.

There was only the doorman on the sect, Zhi Rui hurriedly took sweety and put Rain and the siblings together with silvery who was already done buying her core. She figures that it was impossible to micro-manage herself, so she just left Silvery to her own devices. She brought them with her and went to where the Pagoda trial happened. The huge underworld gate was reflecting the blue sky.

The whole sect was gathered there to watch the Leve six cultivators entering the underworld. It was a historic moment. Centuries ago, that gate was closed, sealing one of the wonders of the world.

But now, together with thousands of Rogue cultivators and hidden masters awaiting, it'd be open, showering the world with new possibilities and new cultivation paths.
