Stronger with Crimson Modifier

At that moment, a noise came from within the cabin. The man turned at the sound to see a towering, burly man emerge. He was well over two meters tall, carried a giant axe on his back, and possessed an extraordinary aura.

Seeing him, the shorter man’s eyes swept over the newcomer, looking him up and down.

Then, a look of astonishment flashed across his face.

"Wu San, have you broken through to the Seventh Realm?!"

The man called Wu San scratched his head and smiled good-naturedly.

"It was just a lucky coincidence, all thanks to how rich the Primordial Qi is here.

Otherwise, I never would have been able to break through to the Seventh Realm so fast."

Hearing this, an undeniable flash of envy and jealousy crossed the eyes of the man with the mole.

In this world, Jianghu Martial Arts were divided into ten realms.

A Seventh Realm Cultivation was enough to be considered a true master anywhere one went, even granting one the qualifications to establish a sect and rule a territory.

Before they came here, his Cultivation had been on par with Wu San’s—both were in the Sixth Realm. In fact, Wu San had only just broken through to the Early Stage of the Sixth Realm back then.

He had actually been slightly inferior.

But nine years had passed in the blink of an eye. And while he had made some progress, he was still stuck at the Peak of the Sixth Realm, unable to take another step forward.

Yet Wu San had successfully broken through and entered the Seventh Realm. How could he not feel a pang of jealousy?

"It’s a shame we only have one year left before our rotation ends and we have to leave! If only we could stay here forever!"

Wu San’s tone was tinged with regret.

The man with the mole’s eyes flickered. He suppressed his thoughts and looked toward the distant island.

Although guard duty here was somewhat tedious, the concentration of Primordial Qi far surpassed that of the outside world, which was a great boon to their Cultivation.

The concentration was especially high the closer one got to the island.

However, as the distance shrank, a powerful repulsive force would emerge, making it impossible to get any closer.

This was one of the reasons they had to stay so far away.

"I wonder what’s really hidden on that island. Is there truly a Celestial Human Relic?"

The man with the mole seemed to have thought of something as he muttered to himself.

Rumors about the island were many and varied, but the most widespread was the legend of the "Celestial Human Cave Mansion."

Legend had it that beyond the Tenth Realm, an eleventh realm existed: the Celestial Human Realm.

Wu San, who was standing to the side, was about to speak when his gaze suddenly sharpened, as if he had noticed something.

He stared intently into the distance, a look of shock flashing across his rugged face.

"Quick... Look! The mist... it seems to be clearing!"

At Wu San’s words, the man with the mole felt a jolt and quickly followed his gaze.

Sure enough, the dense fog that had shrouded the island year-round was beginning to dissipate.

Upon discovering this anomaly, the two didn’t dare delay for even a moment. They immediately pulled the tokens from their waists and activated them.

The people on the other boats did the same, each using their own methods to send word of what was happening.

These people were all scouts from the major powers.

They were stationed here year-round for the sole purpose of monitoring the island.

Soon, in less than the time it takes for half an incense stick to burn, five streaks of Flowing Light shot across the horizon, arriving above the island in an instant.

"That’s... the Sword Demon, the Jade-faced Sword Elder, and... the Celestial Secret Elder, the Crimson Flame Fairy, and Venerable Miao Yin..."

Someone in the crowd below whispered those legendary names, their voice filled with undeniable reverence and excitement.

Each of those names represented a titan of this world.

Figures rarely seen in ordinary times were now gathered in one place.

Their figures hovered in the air, emanating a terrifying pressure.

It was as if the very heavens and earth trembled slightly in their presence.

The Sword Demon was draped in a black robe, a massive Long Saber on his back that glinted with a bone-chilling light. Though the blade remained sheathed, one could already feel its piercing killing intent.

The Jade-faced Sword Elder was an old man in white robes, with a smooth, beardless face. He held a wooden sword.

The tip of his sword vibrated slightly, and a sharp Sword Energy permeated the air around him, seemingly powerful enough to slice through the void itself.

The Celestial Secret Elder held a Duster. With a full head of white hair and a matching beard, his gaze was as profound as the starry sky, as if it could see through all things.

The Crimson Flame Fairy was wreathed in scorching flames, appearing like a goddess from the highest heavens.

And Venerable Miao Yin was a nun standing atop a lotus, the sound of Buddhist chants surrounding her.

"The mist has vanished and the island revealed. It seems the legendary Celestial Human Cave Mansion is about to open," the Celestial Secret Elder said, his deep voice carrying clearly to everyone’s ears.

"After so many years of waiting, the day has finally come."

A fanatical gleam flashed in the Sword Demon’s eyes. The Long Saber on his back trembled slightly, as if responding to the turmoil in his heart.

"Hee hee... Well then, everyone, since it has come to this, it’s to each their own."

The Crimson Flame Fairy let out a light laugh. Her voice was as pleasant as a Silver Bell, yet laced with both charm and danger.

She flicked her red sleeve, and tiny flames danced upon her fingertips.

They all exchanged glances, their eyes filled with wariness and calculation.

Naturally, the others had no objections.

They all stood at the very pinnacle of this world.

Even if there were disparities in their power, the gap wouldn’t be large.

They knew it was impossible for any single person to claim the opportunities here for themselves.

The crowd below was already in an uproar, their eyes glinting with greed and desire.

The legend of the Celestial Human Cave Mansion was far too alluring. It was said to hold not only Celestial Human Relics, but also the key to breaking through the Tenth Realm.

Whoever managed to obtain its treasures would be able to stand at the pinnacle of this world—or even transcend it entirely and step into a higher Realm.

However, just as the crowd was growing restless and about to make a move, a low rumble suddenly echoed from the center of the island, as if something was awakening.
