Li Hong was completely unaware of the outside world.
A dense array of Multicolored Light Dots seeped into his muscles, bones, and internal organs, merging with his flesh and blood. Visible impurities and dirt were expelled from his body. Soon, a dark pool formed beneath him.
The cleansing of the marrow was successful.
His meridians widened, flowing like rushing rivers toward the Upper Dantian Purple Palace space. The Multicolored Light Sphere expanded significantly, shining brilliantly like a dazzling ball of colorful flames. The Purple Palace Space was no longer dark and boundless.
He had advanced! Li Hong was overjoyed. With a thought, the golden characters of the second chapter of the Six Spirit Salty Ritual appeared before his closed eyelids, glowing brightly.
Under his mental command, a small point protruded from the surface of the Essence Blood mass, and a thin thread made of light dots extended from the corresponding part of the Multicolored Light Sphere. The thread grew longer and finally ventured out of the Purple Palace Space for the first time, reaching outside his body.
Previously, he could not leave the Purple Palace. Li Hong was ecstatic.
The thin thread extended outward like a tentacle, growing longer as it reached beyond ten zhang into the forest outside. Li Hong suddenly jolted—there were people everywhere outside the forest, and at the forefront stood Sect Leader Ling Xuzi. When did he arrive!
His mind trembled, causing the thread to snap back abruptly, and the Multicolored Light Dots that formed it quickly retreated into his body. Li Hong opened his eyes. He felt light and extremely comfortable all over; he patted his clothes and calmly walked out of the forest to greet Ling Xuzi: "Greetings, Sect Leader Uncle."
Ling Xuzi gazed quietly at Li Hong. Everyone else did as well. They noticed that despite all the commotion caused by Li Hong, he had not changed much.
He was of medium height—not too tall or short—with hair that had been burned off some time ago and now only a few inches long, tousled over his shoulders. At first glance, his appearance seemed quite ordinary among the handsome men and beautiful women in the Cultivation World. The only striking feature was his pair of black, elongated eyes that glimmered with inner light. Even after undergoing cleansing, Li Hong's skin was not the typical fair complexion seen in most cultivators but had a slight bronze tint. This skin tone complemented his impressive eyes, making him appear like a blade hidden in its sheath—full of resilient strength but not ostentatious.
Ling Xuzi said, "Everyone disperse; I have something to ask."
With their leader speaking, no one dared to disobey. Most people summoned their Flying Swords and turned to leave. Some murmured: "Strange, this kid clearly seems to have undergone cleansing, yet his cultivation level appears to be only at Qi Refinement Stage. There are no fluctuations of spiritual energy within him; he doesn't resemble someone who has caused such a disturbance at all—what an oddity!"
Li Hong felt a chill in his heart.

In the Quiet Room of the Three-Story Pavilion, Ling Xuzi sat in the center and asked Li Hong about his training process in detail. Li Hong recounted everything truthfully, without any concealment.
After listening, Spirit Stone nodded and smiled noncommittally, "Go rest now, and remember to take a good bath; your smell is almost suffocating us!"
He made a small joke, and the Elder Brothers present all smiled in agreement.
Li Hong thought to himself that what is meant to happen will happen. The most important thing now was to focus on his cultivation and improve his skills as soon as possible. He bowed respectfully to the Elder Brothers and gracefully exited the Three-Story Pavilion.
As soon as Li Hong stepped outside, Spirit Stone formed a hand seal and waved his hands twice within his sleeves. A faint Azure Light immediately appeared on the walls of the room—he activated the Restrictions to isolate the Small Pavilion.
The expressions of everyone present immediately turned serious.
Ling Xuzi pondered and said, "Spirit Stone, what do you think is going on with Chu Hong? As your disciple, you should know better than anyone else."
Spirit Stone replied, "To be honest, I don't know either. It's been three thousand years; this is the first time someone has successfully cultivated the Six Spirit Salty Ritual in our sect, so we lack experience. Later, I will go to the Scripture Repository to see if I can find some clues, but I'm not very hopeful."
Ling Xiangzi furrowed her elegant brows tightly and said, "I actually know why the sky suddenly turned bright red. Chu Hong possesses our sect's treasure, the Fire Separation Pearl; its origins are known to everyone here. It must be that Chu Hong inadvertently triggered the Li Fire Formation's spirit response, which caused this phenomenon."
"Indeed," several of them nodded in agreement.
"But how do we explain why his cultivation seems so low?" Ling Jizi asked with a frown.
This was something that puzzled everyone.
"Moreover, there is an isolation formation in this forest at the mountaintop. Although entry and exit are unobstructed, Divine Consciousness cannot penetrate outside. Given Chu Hong's apparent level of cultivation, he definitely does not have the ability to know we are outside. That's one point. Secondly, we were all outside the forest just now and did not see any so-called dazzling five Iridescence rays or any long colorful tentacle-like lights. This is strange; could it be that only Chu Hong can see those Multicolored Light Dots?" Ling Xiangzi said clearly and methodically.
As soon as these words were spoken, the Elders present nodded in agreement, showing expressions of deep contemplation.
Ling Xuzi said, "Spirit Stone, you must take care of this child in the future. Let the Fire Separation Pearl be for now; after all, talent is also very important." He looked around at everyone: "You all witnessed the power of the Six Spirit Salty Ritual tonight. In recent days, I have reviewed some confidential records from our sect, which state that the Six Spirit Salty Ritual is a nemesis to those Demons. There is no time to waste. Spirit Stone, you and Ling Jizi should descend the mountain today. It’s time to take action."
"Understood."

Somewhere in Nine Li Cave Heaven.
The Boundless True Fire blazed fiercely. With a clear sound, an incredibly beautiful Fire Phoenix gradually took shape in the Fire Sea.
"What brings you here? Are you deliberately showing off in front of me, thinking I can't get out of here?!"
"After all these years, you still haven't changed your rude temper! Don't you want to know about that person? He has your treasure with him."
"..." The Fire Dragon then slowly revealed itself.
"He has advanced; your matters finally have hope. Do you want me to think of a way to remind him?"
"No! If you show up, you'll scare that kid away. This matter needs to be approached slowly. Hmph, I've already waited so many years; I don't mind waiting a little longer."
"Scare him away? I even saved him."
"..." The Fire Dragon perked up its ears.
"He actually ran into the Fire Cave when the Fire Spirit Eye erupted; he really is bold. Fortunately, he had some skills; I arrived just in time to save his life. You should thank me now; I am essentially your savior."
"Bah! You're just here to gloat!"
"Really, I even gave him a bit of my Innate Vital Blood; otherwise, how could he have advanced so quickly? I really put in a lot of effort to help you this time."
"I'll give you credit for having some humanity."
"This is your opportunity; you need to seize it. If you miss this chance, just wait to be reduced to ashes. Don't blame me for not helping you then!"
"Sister Phoenix, no, my dear Sister Phoenix, thank you for your hard work!"
"Oh dear, you're giving me goosebumps. I'm leaving now; I'll come back to tell you when there's news."
Phoenix disappeared into the True Fire.
The Fire Dragon was stunned for a moment, its body as thick as a water barrel rolling excitedly in place. "Roar! Finally, I can leave this place!"
