The memories of all humanity are awakening, except for mine.

On the edge of Qing City stands a magnificent building: the Qingyun Sect.

Inside, there is a magnificent main hall with upturned eaves, carved beams and painted rafters, which shows the nobility and majesty of the sect.

Above the spacious hall, a woman sat gracefully on a throne. Her skin was as white as snow, and she was like a lotus emerging from the water, pure and elegant.

Her eyes were like a clear spring, radiating wisdom and determination, making it difficult for anyone to look directly at her.

This woman is none other than Qing Yinyan, the sect leader of the Qingyun Sect.

She possesses a noble temperament and elegant demeanor, making her a goddess in the hearts of countless people in Qing City.

At this moment, she was staring intently ahead, as if waiting for something.

Suddenly, a spirit appeared and slowly landed in front of Qing Yinyan.

This spirit was thin and pale, clearly having lost the support of a physical body.

The spirit body still exuded a faint smell of blood, which made people feel pity.

Upon closer inspection, this soul entity was none other than Zhong Xuan, the vice sect leader of the Qingyun Sect whose body had been pierced by Jiang Chuan last time.

He originally intended to use his strength, which was already halfway to the Heavenly Realm, along with the amplification from the Primordial Aura within his treasure banner, to defeat Jiang Chuan, the leader of the Diviner Alliance.

Unexpectedly, he lost that battle, and lost badly.

In the end, he could only be reborn by abandoning his physical body, which he had cultivated for many years. However, his soul form was only at the early stage of the Earth Rank, which was nothing compared to his peak self.

Jonghyun's soul floated in front of Qing Yinyan, bowed deeply, and said in a weak voice, "Sect Master, Jonghyun is guilty. Please punish him."

Seeing Zhong Xuan's appearance, Qing Yinyan knew that he had fought with Jiang Chuan and had been badly beaten by him.

But she smiled slightly, her eyes devoid of pity: "Then why did you come back?"

Upon hearing Qing Yinyan's cold voice, Zhong Xuan's body trembled involuntarily: "Sect Master, you can't just discard someone after they've served their purpose."

"I only asked you to find out what Jiang Chuan has been up to lately, not to fight him. You've already become a spirit, so what are you still trying to argue about?"

Qing Yinyan stood up and walked closer. A blue and red aura rose from his palm, enveloping Jonghyun's floating body. He felt a large hand squeezing his weak body, and if that hand exerted just a little more force, he would vanish into thin air.

In the end, Qing Yinyan gave up the idea of ​​killing Zhong Xuan. She withdrew her hand, and a jade box appeared in her palm. She said, "There is a Body Refining Pill inside. After taking it, it can help you awaken a new body. However, there is a drawback: you need to be cleansed."

At first, Jonghyun listened with great interest, but the words "clean up" were unacceptable to him: "What? No way! This thing is my tool for amusement. How can I have fun without it?"

Qing Yinyan's eyes grew increasingly cold at Jonghyun's words. If it weren't for the troublesome Jiang Chuan that she needed to deal with, and the fact that she needed manpower at the right time, she wouldn't have wasted her breath on Jonghyun.

"Jonghyun, are you complaining about the pills I gave you?"

Qing Yinyan's voice was as cold as ice, and a powerful aura emanated from her, making Zhong Xuan feel fear.

Zhongxuan knew that Qing Yinyan was not only cold on the outside, but also very fierce on the inside. Once provoked, the consequences would be unimaginable.

He immediately knelt down, his voice trembling, and said, "Sect Master, Zhongxuan wouldn't dare, but..."

"But what?" Qing Yinyan interrupted him. "Since you are the vice sect master of Qingyun Sect, you should understand that the interests of the sect are above all else, and you are better off without your entertainment tools."

Jonghyun lowered his head, not daring to speak, and accepted the jade box.

Then she heard Qing Yinyan speak: "Jong-hyun, you don't need to be sad. Once you recover, bring more people. I refuse to believe that Jiang Chuan can take on ten people by himself." Her jade-like hands unconsciously clenched.

"Sect Master, with your current strength, why don't you personally take action and crush Jiang Chuan?" Zhong Xuan muttered softly.

"Is this something you should be concerned about?" Qing Yinyan glared at Zhong Xuan, her delicate figure slowly walking towards the exit of the main hall. When she reached him, she looked down at the buildings and continued, "Did you have any shocking news when you came back this time?"

Jonghyun, who was following beside him, said, "Jiang Chuan's treasure also has the aura of the Primordial Era. In addition to the wisp I gave him, there are now two wisps. His strength is probably even more formidable."

"What are your plans to do against Jiang Chuan after you've rebuilt your physical body?" Qing Yinyan asked.

After a moment of contemplation, Zhong Xuan said, "I've decided to involve some forces in Qing City in dealing with Jiang Chuan. More people means more power. Jiang Chuan has just settled down in this enclosed space and is still unfamiliar with the people around him, so this is the perfect opportunity to gang up on him."

Upon hearing this, Qing Yinyan nodded slightly. Jonghyun had finally figured it out and knew how to form cliques. Qing Yinyan felt gratified after nodding.

“Alright, then we’ll do it your way.” Qing Yinyan turned around, ready to leave, but Zhong Xuan stopped him: “Sect Master, forming cliques isn’t that easy. Although I am the Vice Sect Master of Qingyun Sect, I have no prestige in Qing City.”

Zhongxuan was implying to Qing Yinyan that as the goddess of Qing City, her prestige was beyond question, and with just a few words from her, the gates of the Qingyun Sect could be broken down by people.

Qing Yinyan thought for a moment and said, "Alright, I'll leave this matter to you."

With Qing Yinyan's consent, Jonghyun took out his phone and spread the word on social media that Qing Yinyan was recruiting experts. In less than ten minutes, a large number of people arrived.

Jonghyun stared at the messages flashing on his phone screen, secretly rejoicing over Qing Yinyan's charm.

Qing Yinyan's influence in Qing City is unmatched; she can summon a group of experts with a single command.

Soon after, Jonghyun saw a bustling crowd in the square.

Among them were renowned swordsmen in the martial arts world, reclusive masters who kept their skills hidden, and rising stars from all directions.

These people were all drawn here by news about Jonghyun.

They were filled with anticipation to join the Qingyun Sect and become fans under Qing Yinyan's command.

Qing Yinyan stood in the center of the square, his gaze sharp and intense. He simply smiled slightly, which made the hearts of the people around him pound.

Then she addressed the crowd, saying, "Fellow martial artists, it is truly fate that we are gathered here today. Since its founding, the Qingyun Sect has always upheld the path of justice. Today, I, Qing Yinyan, hereby recruit you all to jointly safeguard the peace of the martial world."

A burst of enthusiastic applause immediately erupted from the crowd.

Qing Yinyan's words were like a gentle spring breeze, warming everyone present.

She continued, "I know that you are all outstanding figures in the martial arts world. This recruitment is not to increase the power of my Qingyun Sect, but to jointly deal with those evil forces that attempt to disrupt the peace of the martial arts world, the Diviner Alliance."

With just a word from Qing Yinyan, and given her status as a goddess in Qing City, the fortune teller alliance developed by Jiang Chuan was transformed into a criminal force.

Jonghyun listened from the side, secretly admiring Qing Yinyan's ability to rally people.

"Jiang Chuan from the Diviner Alliance, I've heard he's quite powerful!" shouted a man wielding a sword in the square.

Then the rest of the crowd in the square followed suit, all hoping to win a smile from the goddess Qing Yinyan on the high platform.

Qing Yinyan exuded a powerful aura, her beautiful eyes sweeping over the crowd as she spoke with unwavering conviction: "Jiang Chuan is indeed a formidable opponent, but in the world of martial arts, justice will ultimately prevail over evil. Everyone, we have gathered here today to jointly fight against those forces that attempt to disrupt the peace of the martial arts world. As long as we are united, nothing is impossible."

Some people whispered among themselves, while others clenched their fists. They were clearly angered by the threat posed by the Diviners' Alliance.

Seeing this, Qing Yinyan continued, "I know that the world is a long and winding road, and you all come from different sects. Perhaps you have had grudges in the past, but today, let's put aside our past entanglements and join hands for the peace of the world and for justice."

She paused, her gaze sweeping over everyone again, her tone even more resolute: "I, Qing Yinyan, hereby swear that as long as you are willing to join the Qingyun Sect and become my subordinates, I will send photos to the chat group on time."

The warriors standing in the square hesitated to say they wanted to join the Qingyun Sect because they were waiting for Goddess Qing Yinyan to say those words.

How incredibly impactful it is to share stunning photos in a chat group!
These young men from Qing City fantasize about seeing the goddess's face every day, but unfortunately, they never have the chance.

Even the photos enshrined in the Goddess Museum are from the past. Now, you can see the goddess's current appearance every day. Just hearing about it and thinking about it makes your scalp tingle.

"Everyone, you are all elites of Qing City."

"Each has its own pride and glory."

"But at this crucial moment."

"What we need is not personal glory, but peace and tranquility for the entire city of Qing."

"I, Qing Yinyan, am willing to join hands with everyone to protect Qing City."

Qing Yinyan had just finished speaking.

A round of enthusiastic applause immediately erupted in the square.

Those warriors who were initially hesitant now stepped forward and shouted, "I am willing to join the Qingyun Sect and fight for the peace of Qing City!"

Jonghyun watched this scene with deep emotion.

Qing Yinyan's appeal is not accidental, but rather the result of the prestige and reputation she has accumulated in Qing City over the years.

It was this prestige that made her a goddess in the hearts of countless people in Qing City.

Then the people in the square all headed towards the registration area for the Qingyun Sect.

Seeing that the crowds were thinning out, Qing Yinyan turned to Zhong Xuan and asked, "Are you satisfied?"

"Sect Master, what are you saying? We just want Jiang Chuan to disappear from Qing City as soon as possible. We can only ask you to make do with this." Zhong Xuan said, feeling very safe by Qing Yinyan's side.

"Come with me. You need something to help you take the Body Refining Pill."

Led by Qing Yinyan, Jonghyun arrived at the alchemy furnace that exuded a mysterious aura.

The furnace body is cast from a rare purple-gold alloy, and its surface is engraved with complex runes.

Under the influence of the furnace fire, these runes shimmered with a faint blue light, as if they contained some ancient power.

Jonghyun took the Body-Refining Pill without hesitation.

The pill melted instantly upon entering his mouth, and a warm current quickly spread throughout his body. He felt a powerful force surging within him; this was the initial effect of the Body Refining Pill.

"Listen, in order to create a body, you need to endure the burning pain of the alchemy furnace that ordinary people cannot bear."

Qing Yinyan stood beside the alchemy furnace, his voice low and firm.

Jonghyun gritted his teeth, his brows furrowed, already fully prepared in his heart.

To reach a higher level, paying such a price is unavoidable.

He decided to make the alchemy furnace suffer twice as much as it had done to Jiang Chuan, the one who had hurt him.

As Qing Yinyan raised her jade hand and gently waved it, the flames inside the alchemy furnace instantly blazed up.

A wave of intense heat washed over him, coiling around Jonghyun like countless fiery serpents, making him feel suffocated.

The temperature inside the furnace rose higher and higher, and Jonghyun's body began to emit steam. His skin gradually turned black, and a look of pain distorted his face.

"what!"

Jonghyun let out an inhuman scream.

His body convulsed violently inside the alchemy furnace, as if being pierced by countless needles.

His soul was tormented by the high temperature, writhing in agony, each spasm nearly causing him to lose consciousness.

Qing Yinyan stood to the side, her beautiful eyes fixed on Zhong Xuan inside the alchemy furnace.

Such pain is a necessary part of the body-refining process; only by passing this test can he maximize the effectiveness of the Body-Refining Pill.

After Jonghyun absorbed all the Body Refining Pills, he lay sprawled on the side of the furnace, drenched in sweat and panting heavily, as if he had just been through a fierce battle.

His eyes revealed a hint of weariness, but when he saw his soul's body, he couldn't help but widen his eyes in surprise.

His soul began to undergo a dramatic transformation. His originally thin body gradually developed strong muscles with distinct lines, exuding a sense of power.

Those parts that once made him listless are now full and strong, as if they have been revitalized.

As the effects of the Body Refining Pill gradually took hold, Jonghyun's soul body reached a new level in the Body Condensation stage.

His body became lighter and his movements more agile, as if he had been reborn.

That listless look had vanished, replaced by confidence and vitality.

During the solidification phase, Jonghyun's soul form not only had more defined muscle lines, but also tighter skin, as if a thin layer of muscle membrane wrapped around his entire body, giving him an indestructible feeling.

At that moment, Jonghyun finally understood.

The power of the Body Refining Pill far exceeded his expectations.

It not only gave him great power, but also helped him regain his confidence and rediscover his former self.

After reaching the peak of the condensation stage, Jonghyun's soul seemed to merge into the world, becoming one with nature.

He felt an unprecedented power, as if he had touched the limit of power.

"The time is right. Prepare to cleanse yourself, or you will explode and die. You need to release your energy to bring your body to a balance." Qing Yinyan took a bite of the fruit in her hand and looked at Zhongxuan with her beautiful eyes.

Jonghyun gritted his teeth, his right arm transforming into a blade, whipping up a fierce wind. In a single thought, his manhood vanished, and he placed this humiliation upon Jiang Chuan, determined to ensure that Jiang Chuan, like himself, would never again feel any passion for women.
