Duan Gujin experienced the emergence of the Ancient Giant Demon Dragon Elephant Martial Soul during his leveling, which brought about a sky-changing phenomenon.

Above the Alchemy Secret Room, countless black clouds appeared, heavily covering the entire sky above the Alchemy Chamber.

The nearby people, seeing such a terrifying phenomenon, naturally reported the event to the elders.

Thus, Lie Lei was the first to arrive here.

When he saw the black clouds, constantly flickering with arcs of electricity above Duan Gujin's Alchemy Secret Room, he thought that these clouds were very likely brought about by Duan Gujin.

So, he reported this intelligence to Zhu Ge Hongyun.

Once Zhu Ge Hongyun arrived, they hid together on one side, carefully observing the sky above the Alchemy Secret Room where Duan Gujin was located.

The more they watched, the more awe-struck they became, realizing that both the aura emitted by Duan Gujin and the caused phenomenon were the first they had encountered in their lives.

Although Duan Gujin had set up a Defensive Magic Array inside the Alchemy Secret Room, his arrangement was too crude. Lie Lei and Zhu Ge Hongyun joined forces, and their Divine Sense broke into the Alchemy Secret Room. They saw nineteen green Ancient Giant Demon Dragon Elephant Martial Souls being emitted from above Duan Gujin's head and became dumbfounded, their eyes glazed over in shock.

They had heard Duan Gujin mention his Martial Soul before, saying it was not the ordinary Heavenly Dragon Martial Soul but another one, of which they had little understanding, assuming it was similar to the Heavenly Dragon Martial Soul.

Only now did they realize that the Martial Soul Duan Gujin was emitting was terrifyingly strong.

And this type of Martial Soul, not the Heavenly Dragon Martial Soul, was known as an Abnormal Martial Soul on the Qiankun Continent. There was no related record in the continent's Classics about what special aspects Abnormal Martial Souls possessed.

"This Duan Gujin is indeed unfathomably deep!" Zhu Ge Hongyun exclaimed.

"Yes!" Lie Lei gasped in shock, only now realizing that Duan Gujin's strength had risen to the Innate Ninth Layer.

"Oh my, it's been only a few months, and he has already broken through to the Innate Ninth Layer! I see his momentum may still rise; could it be that he will break through to Martial Monarch First Layer as well?" Zhu Ge Hongyun reflected on the condition of Duan Gujin when he joined the Green Cloud Sect and felt a wave of emotion.

Time ticked by slowly. Duan Gujin initially thought that the sudden outbreak of the Ancient Giant Demon Dragon Elephant Martial Soul inside him would enable him to break through to Martial Monarch, but the restlessness inside his body finally ceased.

"Darn it! I didn't expect the Ancient Giant Demon Dragon Elephant Martial Soul to fail me at the critical moment!" Duan Gujin sighed. He inspected his body with his Divine Sense and found that he was genuinely now at the Innate Ninth Layer.

With just one more step forward, he could successfully break through to the Martial Monarch First Layer.

He took a deep breath and inspected every part of his body with his Divine Sense.

After a while, he confirmed that he was indeed on the verge of being able to break through to the Martial Monarch First Layer.

"It seems my previous accumulation was still not enough!" Duan Gu analyzed, pinpointing the reason behind it.

With a thought, Duan Gu released his Evil Eye, wanting to see how far he could reach with his Divine Sense Inspection utilizing the Evil Eye.

Moments later, his Divine Sense Inspection detected two people secretly observing him nearby.

"Sect Master, Deputy Sect Master, are you cold out there? Would you like to come in and sit for a while?" Duan Gujin asked promptly, his eyes flashing.

As the esteemed Sect Master and Deputy Sect Master of the Green Cloud Sect, they surely wouldn't feel cold.

"Duan Gujin, then let's come in and sit for a while!"

Zhu Ge Hongyun readily agreed.

Then, the two of them immediately entered Duan Gujin's Alchemy Secret Room, where they encountered Duan Gujin.

"Duan Gujin, I just sensed something unusual here, so I came to take a look!"

Zhu Ge Hongyun said.

"I was in the midst of leveling, just a hair's breadth away from success!"

Duan Gujin said with regret.

"That's really a pity! Do you need any help?"

Zhu Ge Hongyun asked.

"To break through to Martial Monarch, I can only rely on my own efforts! Others can't help! I want to know if anything has happened outside recently?"

Zhu Ge Hongyun and Lie Lei knew that the 'outside' Duan Gujin referred to was actually pointing to that enemy.

"No, there has been no intelligence report of that enemy on the entire Qiankun Continent lately!"

Zhu Ge Hongyun replied.

"I understand!"

After exchanging some pleasantries with them, Duan Gujin watched the two leave together.

After the two had left, Duan Gujin let out a sigh of relief.

"Thank goodness, they didn't suspect me because they don't know what a Demonized Martial Soul is!"

The Demonized Martial Soul of the Ultimate Demon Emperor has brought catastrophe to other continents; on those continents, anyone with a Demonized Martial Soul becomes the target of intense persecution, relentlessly hunted down by all.

Duan Gujin knew that he needed to spend some time to settle before he could potentially break through to Martial Monarch First Level.

He had reached a bottleneck now, and it was not something that could be resolved by simple seclusion.

One day later, Duan Gujin sought out Lie Lei, asking if any anomalies had recently occurred on the Qiankun Continent.

Knowing that Duan Gujin was just seeking intelligence, Lie Lei handed over the reports that his subordinates had brought him.

Duan Gujin quickly flipped through the intelligence materials, searching for clues.

After a while, he noticed a report indicating an anomaly above the surface of the East Sea.

Seeing this report, Duan Gujin gasped in shock.

"Oh my god! In my past life, I set sail from here, enduring countless perils before finally reaching another continent. If there's an anomaly at this place, doesn't that mean I might not be able to reach other continents in the future?"

Duan Gujin was extremely worried that this anomaly would affect his future journeys to other continents, so he decided to rush to the East Sea.

"Is this place important? Do you want me to go with you?" Lie Lei asked.

"No need, the Green Cloud Sect could become very dangerous at any moment! You stay here and protect the Green Cloud Sect. The place I'm about to enter has nothing to do with that enemy!"

"Alright then, I'll give you a name tag. Take this, and make sure to keep it safe without letting it get destroyed! If the Green Cloud Sect comes under attack by a powerful enemy, this name tag will turn purple, and you will know that the Green Cloud Sect is under attack!"

Lie Lei handed a name tag to Duan Gujin, who took it and bid farewell to Lie Lei.

He quickly left the Green Cloud Sect and rushed towards the East Sea at rapid speed.

A day later, he arrived at the coast of the East Sea, and he went to a small town nearby, spending a hundred Gold Coins to purchase a small fishing boat from the fishermen.

The price offered by Duan Gujin was at least three times the original price of the fishing boat, so the fishermen were very willing to sell their boat to him.
