As Yun Jin had guessed, this time the reward also included a construction token. Aside from the token, there was also a vast amount of Emotional Value granted.
Yun Jin tapped to claim it. Then, as she examined the description of the construction token, a trace of surprise flashed across her eyes.
Oh?
The system was unexpectedly considerate. It seemed to already know her next step, so it had delivered this token at just the right time.
For anyone else, the description might have seemed cryptic, but Yun Jin had roamed through countless minor worlds. She understood it at a glance. This was a divine-rank structure, on par with the Trial Tower!
Once built, the growth speed of Wushuang Sect's disciples would soar yet again. Even Yun Jin herself would benefit greatly. She rubbed her chin.
The building was powerful. But now was not the time to put it down. At present, aside from the new disciples, everyone else in Wushuang Sect was busy outside, working on identifying demonic qi.
With only the new recruits, it would be impossible to properly make use of such a building.
She decided to wait a month.
After all, unless the current crisis was fully resolved, she would not be able to cultivate in peace.
-
The upheaval in the Qingxiao region had already shaken the world. The other three Holy Lands quickly sent messages, inquiring about the situation.
Yun Jin shared with each of them the methods to detect and purify demonic qi. As for how they would implement it, that was beyond her control. Her success in the Qingxiao region was not just due to martial might, though that had been a huge factor.
There was more to it.
She had saved the mortals of the Imperial capital, earning the trust of Imperial cultivators.
She had restored order in the Mingxin Hall, winning over loose cultivators.
She had rescued countless sect disciples in Sky City, gaining the confidence of the sects.
These three deeds had built her solid reputation.
That was why, when she declared that a certain method could identify demonic qi, most people chose to believe her and practiced it sincerely. Even when someone like Jin Guang tried to stir up dissent, he failed to shake the trust people had in her.
But in the other three regions…
Yun Jin did not command the same prestige there. Without that trust, she could not possibly achieve the same results.
Even if the three Holy Land masters agreed, no one else would tolerate her overstepping. She had handed over the manuals. How far they could carry things out would depend on their own abilities. In any case, she had already done her part. Whatever the outcome, it would still be far better than before.
Meanwhile, in Qingxiao, under the thunderous enforcement of the super sects and Wushuang Sect, every sect forcibly recalled its disciples to begin training in the art of detecting demonic qi.
At first, they did not understand the purpose.
But once demonic qi was identified, reactions were mixed—some relieved, others stricken with dread. According to Yun Jin's rules, the guilty were executed or punished. Those still salvageable were given the purification method and then sent out in groups to supervise the next sect.
At first, manpower was limited. Some sects began earlier than others.
Inevitably, word leaked. A few attempted to slip away beforehand, only to be spotted early by Yuan Yuan's surveillance.
For these deserters, Yun Jin's orders were clear: all of them to be executed, none spared!
If they obeyed and cultivated, they might still have lived. But once they fled, death was certain.
Such ruthless measures ensured that no one else dared to run.
Half a month later, most of the disciples tainted by demonic qi had already been identified. Loose cultivators and kingdom cultivators were harder to manage.
But Yun Jin's reputation among them was second to none. Qin Ping even made the proclamation explicit: this method was solely for identifying demonic qi. Those who refused to practice it might very well be demon collaborators, and citizens were encouraged to report them.
At the same time, along the borders of Qingxiao…
Yuan Yuan deployed most of his surveillance devices there, aiding patrols everywhere. Anyone trying to leave the region had to demonstrate progress in cultivating the method. Until then, they could not leave.
Forcing one's way out meant certain death. Though there were still whispers questioning Yun Jin, her name carried such weight that no storm could be raised.
Then Qin Ping unveiled the so-called "martial arts manual."
Billions upon billions of mortals instantly went mad with excitement. Elder Qin announced that this method was designed specifically for mortals. And the final stages of the manual were named… "Posui Xukong"?
Shattering the Void? Wasn't that something only immortals could do?
This technique was distributed freely to all mortals. Though talent in body refinement varied, anyone who practiced could at least strengthen their physique.
And all of it was Yun Jin's gift.
Think about it.
Among all those exalted cultivators, aside from Sect Master Yun, who else would bother creating a method for mere mortals?
Yun Jin's fame among mortals soared to unprecedented heights. Many households even set up shrines with statues of her.
Endless Luck surged toward her.
In Qingxiao Pavilion, the Earth Ruler dimmed further.
The mortals who revered Yun Jin also became her ears and eyes. Whenever they spotted suspicious cultivators, they eagerly reported them.
Anyone tied to the demon race instantly became like a rat scurrying across the street, despised and hunted down, with no place left to hide.
After a single month…
Just as Yun Jin had envisioned, Qingxiao emerged from short-lived chaos into a stability greater than ever before.
The demonic path had been all but annihilated. Perhaps a few lingered in deep mountains and forests, but they did not dare show their faces. To show themselves was to die.
And at that very moment…
The Yun Jin Saga: Part III was released!
It began with Yun Jin's arrival in Sky City, chronicling how she and Wushuang Sect rose step by step. The story's main thread was crisp and well-structured, clearly written with care.
The opening showed Wushuang Sect's suppression when they first entered Sky City. Arrogant sect disciples even created insulting merchandise mocking Yun Jin. Watching them trample dolls in her likeness, the audience seethed with rage.
Then came the counterattack—Wushuang Sect striking back, taking first place again and again. Audiences cheered with delight. When those sect disciples later fell into peril, Yun Jin led the rescue, igniting the story's climax!
Finally, the ending showed Yun Jin winning the respect of all sect disciples and transcending heavenly tribulation to achieve Mahayana.
It was a grand, feel-good conclusion.
Even Yun Jin herself, watching, was satisfied.
For a movie, that was enough.
There was no need to show every detail. A happy ending worked best.
After all…
No one would ever know that the "mocking merchandise" had been secretly sold by her own hand.
No one would ever know that during her heavenly tribulation, she had casually slain a Lin Xiao.
Those were minor details, not worth mentioning!
Yes, exactly so!
