The Gate of the Mysterious Realm

Summary

Shi Mu, after finishing his meditation, reflects on his cultivation challenges, particularly his inability to advance to the 6th turn of the Nine Turns Mysterious Art due to a lack of necessary materials. He learns from Qi Feng that the three holy lands are struggling against the Black Demon Clan, leading to the issuance of the 'Demon Slayer Order' to form a coalition for defense. Despite the tempting offer of personal guidance from a powerful figure, Shi Mu prioritizes his own cultivation and declines to participate. Later, he meets Yan Luo, who has significantly advanced in her own cultivation. She instructs Shi Mu to summon the Purple Green Furnace, revealing a projection of Elder Gongshu, who expresses regret over the lack of materials to upgrade Shi Mu's armor. Shi Mu learns about the rare Star Core Essence Gold and realizes he lacks the necessary resources to upgrade his armor. Yan Luo then requests Shi Mu's help in the Black Demon Star Domain, which he agrees to, seeing it as an opportunity to return to the conflict.
