Mortal: Starting with the Falling Cloud Sect, I proved my Dao through gacha pulls.

Su Mu gazed intently at the strange phenomenon before him, his eyes burning with anticipation. Several dozen breaths passed before the shimmering white light that filled the sky gradually faded and returned to calm.

As the glow faded, the gray stone tablet slowly became ethereal and transparent. Only the crystal embedded at the top continued to shimmer with a flowing silver light, and mysterious and obscure runes flickered on the crystal surface, exuding an unfathomable Daoist charm.

Su Mu slowly raised his hand and placed his palm firmly on the crystal. In an instant, countless fine, hair-like silver threads flowed into his sea of ​​consciousness from his palm, transforming into profound and mysterious mantras that were clearly imprinted deep within his soul.

The entire Dao-Evolving Stone, drawn by this force, completely dissolved into the void, as if it had never existed, erased by an invisible force without leaving a trace.

In a short while, a sharp glint flashed in Su Mu's eyes. A complete and flawless cultivation technique scripture was completely condensed in his sea of ​​consciousness, and the name of the technique also appeared.

"Crimson Emperor Fire Sovereign Technique!"

Su Mu slowly exhaled, his expression revealing his excitement.

This technique was developed based on his original True Flame Nirvana Technique, and transformed by the Dao Evolution Stone. Its attribute is still fire, which perfectly matches his own cultivation foundation. There will be no separation when switching to this technique.

After being integrated and deduced by the Dao-Evolving Stone, the Crimson Emperor Fire Sovereign Technique has long since broken free from the shackles of the Nascent Soul stage and is pointing directly to the Mahayana realm.

Unlike the original True Flame Nirvana Technique, which focused on survival, this Crimson Emperor Fire Sovereign Technique combines the two paths of life and death. It possesses both the domineering power of flames that can burn everything and the meaning of rebirth, making it a well-rounded technique that integrates offense and defense.

The division of cultivation realms is also quite ingenious. Before the Void Refining Realm, one cultivates pure fire elemental power. After breaking through to the Void Refining Realm, one can unify the five elements, using fire to govern the five elements, and reach the realm of controlling all things with fire.

However, such a realm is still far beyond Su Mu's reach at present. What pleases him most right now is that once he completes the transformation of his cultivation technique, he will be able to use a divine power called "Burning Heaven Fire Domain" at the Nascent Soul stage.

This divine power uses the fire of one's own nascent soul as a guide to spread a fiery domain, which can seal all enemies within it.

Within the domain, the flames move at will, taking on countless forms to annihilate any trapped enemies. Moreover, the more flames one refines and the stronger they become, the greater the power of this divine ability becomes, making it a perfect fit for Su Mu, who possesses multiple different flames.

With his mind made up, Su Mu immediately sat cross-legged, closed his eyes slightly, and silently recited the incantation of the cultivation method, concentrating his mind to try the initial transformation of cultivation.

Fortunately, this technique was derived from his natal technique, sharing the same foundation. The transition was incredibly smooth, as if it were a natural progression, without any stagnation or obstruction, allowing his magical power to circulate freely.

"Very good. Once the renovation is completely completed, we can start preparing for the follow-up matters."

Su Mu thought to himself, then cleared his mind of all distractions, focused his mind on his dantian and sea of ​​consciousness, and devoted himself wholeheartedly to the cultivation process.

Several months later.

"call..."

Su Mu let out a soft breath, sensing the surging magical power within his body, and a satisfied smile involuntarily appeared on his lips.

At this moment, he had completely completed the transformation of his natal cultivation technique. The originally mild magical power in his body had been tainted with a bit of domineering attributes, and his aura had become scorching.

After slowly concealing the aura emanating from his body, Su Mu flashed and went straight into the world ring he carried.

He first went to the herb garden and harvested a batch of mature spiritual herbs, then glanced at the newly sprouted dragon tooth rice.

These Dragon Tooth Rice trees, thanks to the miraculous ripening effect of Han Li's little green bottle, have seen their age increase significantly and mature several times faster than usual.

He had already harvested the last batch of ripe Longya rice, but had not consumed it. The new batch was growing well and would ripen again in a short time.

After touring the herb garden, Su Mu turned around and came to a small volcano. With a slight thought, he slowly summoned his natal magic weapon, the Nine Heavens Profound Jade Bottle, which hovered in the air in front of him.

As soon as his aura dissipated, a fiery red spirit bird suddenly sprang out from the crater.

This bird resembles a swallow, with a wingspan of over ten feet. It is surrounded by a faint glow of fire, exuding a captivating spiritual aura. Its eyes are bright and clear, devoid of any ferocity.

It landed affectionately beside Su Mu, its neck gently rubbing against his sleeve, emitting a clear and melodious chirp, full of dependence.

"It seems you quite like the environment here."

Su Mu smiled slightly and gently touched its smooth, fluffy, fiery red spirit feathers, feeling the warm, pure fire spirit power beneath the feathers with his fingertips.

This spirit bird is none other than the Zhiyang Bird, which has long since disappeared from the world.

After obtaining the ancient painting containing the remnant soul of the Fat Sun Bird from the Flower Basket Strange Man, he carefully nurtured it with divine spring water and slowly nurtured it with strange fire, expending a great deal of effort to finally bring this ancient spirit bird back to life.

This bird was originally formed from the pure fire essence of heaven and earth, and was naturally suited to inhabit places where the fire essence was abundant. So Su Mu specially found this small volcano in his world ring to temporarily serve as its nest.

The Zhiyang Bird circled around Su Mu merrily several times, chirping incessantly. Then, it flapped its wings and flew to the Nine Heavens Profound Jade Bottle, bringing its little head close to the bottle's opening and gently absorbing a wisp of the pure Yang energy contained within.

The moment that wisp of pure Yang energy entered its body, its eyes suddenly shone brightly, the flames surrounding its body suddenly surged several feet, and it let out a clear and resounding cry, its fire spirit aura instantly becoming more intense.

A moment later, the bird seemed to have eaten too much and became somewhat drowsy. It floated lightly onto Su Mu's shoulder, its little head nodding off.

It nuzzled his cheek affectionately, then flapped its wings and flew deep into the volcano, curled up, and fell into a deep sleep to digest the benefits it had gained.

Seeing this, Su Mu shook his head and chuckled, not bothering him further, and raised his hand to put the Nine Heavens Mystic Jade Bottle back into his body.

He stood there for a moment, then flipped his hand and took out the Qiankun Disc, holding it in his hand with a slight glint in his eyes.

"The situation is stable for now, and there's nothing urgent. It's time to go back to Luoyun Sect."

As soon as he finished speaking, his figure vanished.

......

South of the sky, Yunmeng Mountain, outside Luoyun Sect.

Su Mu's figure flashed, and he appeared out of thin air.

He first calmly glanced around to make sure there was nothing unusual, then slowly reduced the cultivation aura emanating from his body, finally settling at the early stage of Core Formation.

The reason he didn't choose to return directly to the sect was that he planned to return to the sect openly and legitimately by claiming that he had broken through to the Core Formation stage by chance after years of training outside.

Decades have passed since he triggered the extraordinary phenomenon when he formed his core, and much of the limelight has faded. Now that he has returned to his sect with the cultivation level of the early stage of core formation, he should not attract too much attention.

After determining the direction, Su Mu changed back into his familiar Luo Yun Sect robe, a smirk playing on his lips, and headed towards the Luo Yun Sect's mountain gate.
