Duan Gujin devoured General Xinghai's Soul Fire, which greatly enhanced his Soul Power.

His increasing Soul Power gradually changed his physical condition, only now exploding its full potential.

Upon entering a focused state, Duan Gujin's Divine Sense introspected his soul sea and discovered that it had turned golden.

"Unexpectedly, my Soul Power has experienced such a terrifying enhancement!"

Duan Gujin was emotionally turbulent and found it hard to calm down.

When a Martial Artist's Soul Power turns gold, it signifies that the Martial Artist's Spiritual Power has been intensified to the ultimate state.

Once a Martial Artist's Spiritual Power reaches this ultimate state, it means that the Martial Artist is about to break through to the next level.

Now that Duan Gujin had reached the Innate Ninth Layer, this meant he was about to level up to Martial Monarch First Layer.

Upon entering the Green Cloud Sect, Duan Gujin deliberately suppressed the Spiritual Fluctuations within his body.

Now, secluded in the Alchemy Secret Room prepared especially for him by the Green Cloud Sect, he no longer needed to worry about exposing any Spiritual Fluctuations.

Thus, he completely released his Spiritual Fluctuations.

This release quickly captured the attention of Lie Lei.

"So, it was Duan Gujin who released it! His current outburst of Spiritual Fluctuations is so strong!"

Lie Lei was greatly shocked, feeling that Duan Gujin's released Spiritual Fluctuations were like a fierce storm, sweeping the nearby skies, even causing nearby spaces to twist.

Outside Duan Gujin's Alchemy Secret Room, there was a powerful Shielding Array.

The purpose of this Shielding Array was to block the Spiritual Fluctuations emitted by the Alchemists within the room.

This arrangement by the Green Cloud Sect was to prevent outsiders from knowing the current situation of the Alchemist within the Alchemy Secret Room.

If the Spiritual Fluctuations emitted from an Alchemy Secret Room are very strong, it indicates that the Alchemist inside is either in an important state of Alchemy or Cultivation.

Should anyone burst into that Martial Artist's Alchemy Secret Room at this time, it would surely bring trouble to the Alchemist, and in severe cases, could cause them to fall into Deviation.

As such, the Green Cloud Sect set up arrays to shield Spiritual Fluctuations outside each Alchemy Secret Room, preventing outsiders from detecting the Spiritual Fluctuations inside the room.

Within the Green Cloud Sect, only a very few high-ranking individuals could see the situation inside the Alchemy Secret Room through special Arrays.

And as the Deputy Sect Master of the Green Cloud Sect, Lie Lei had some oversight over the situations occurring in Duan Gujin's Alchemy Secret Room.

Therefore, Lie Lei could sense the Spiritual Fluctuations released from the Alchemy Secret Room occupied by Duan Gujin.

He could then determine the level of Cultivation and the degree of Spiritual Power of Duan Gujin from these emitted Spiritual Fluctuations.

An hour later, Lie Lei gasped in surprise.

"My God! Turns out Duan Gujin is now impacting Martial Monarch First Layer! His released Spiritual Power is so strong!"

Lie Lei's eyes flickered, surprised that Duan Gujin had just entered the Innate Ninth Layer not long ago, and was already striving to break through to the Martial Monarch Realm.

Based on the Divine Power fluctuations released from the Alchemy Secret Room where Duan Gujin was, Lie Lei judged that the other party was definitely leveling up to Martial Monarch First Layer.

Duan Gujin had previously told him that he intended to level up to Martial Monarch First Layer, so Lie Lei was mentally prepared, knowing that Duan Gujin would eventually try to level up to Martial Monarch First Layer within the Green Cloud Sect.

But what Lie Lei did not anticipate was that Duan Gujin, having returned to the Green Cloud Sect just a few days ago, was already beginning his leveling process, which was much faster than he imagined.

"Unexpectedly, Duan Gujin is just leveling up to Martial Monarch First Layer and has already caused such a stir! When I was leveling up to Martial Monarch First Layer, everything was so calm, nothing like his situation now where his released Soul Power is actually golden! Yes, it's golden! When I was leveling up to Martial Monarch First Layer, there wasn't much fanfare, much like a regular leveling!"

Lie Lei's eyes flickered, inwardly admiring Duan Gujin's Master for being exceptional, enabling Duan Gujin to level up to Martial Monarch First Layer in such a short time.

In another hour, Lie Lei saw bursts of starlight emanating from Duan Gujin's body, and his skin was actually turning golden.

Seeing the changes in Duan Gujin's skin, Lie Lei's eyes widened as if his eyeballs were about to pop out.

"My goodness! His skin has actually turned golden! How is this possible?"

Lie Lei's mind raced, and he quickly recalled a legend from the Qiankun Continent.

"In the classics of the Qiankun Continent, it was recorded that some master, when leveling up to Martial Monarch First Layer, would exhibit unusual changes! Our Green Cloud Sect had also tried related experiments in the past, but could never validate the extraordinary changes recorded in those ancient classics! I used to think it was just an exaggeration by the ancients, but now seeing Duan Gujin's skin turning gold, I believe those ancients didn't deceive us!"

Lie Lei's eyes widened as his Divine Sense locked onto Duan Gujin's body, as if trying to see through him, wanting to unveil all the secrets of Duan Gujin.

Meanwhile, inside the Alchemy Secret Room, Duan Gujin had already sensed the change to his body's skin turning golden.

He frowned slightly, knowing what changes his body was undergoing.

"So I am undergoing the 'Golden Human' transformation!"

The Golden Human was a transformation Duan Gujin learned about from the Martial Artists of other continents during his prior journeys, where the Innate Realm ascends to the Martial Monarch Realm, bringing about changes to a Martial Artist.

Three different levels of transformation occur as the Innate Realm levels up to the Martial Monarch Realm.

These three transformations from lowest to highest are: Golden Human, Daoist, and Divine Transformations.

Golden Human Transformation refers to a golden glow appearing on the surface of a Martial Artist's body.

This glow can envelop the entire body of the Martial Artist, known as the Golden Human Transformation.

Once a Martial Artist completes the Golden Human Transformation, both the Body and Spiritual Power achieve significant enhancement.

This enhancement generally increases a Martial Artist's Combat Power by about thirty to forty percent.

After a Martial Artist completes the Golden Human Transformation, he may proceed to the next transformation round.

Moving from completing the Golden Human Transformation to entering the Daoist Transformation depends greatly on the individual's destiny.

And advancing to the third round, the Divine Transformation, after completing the Daoist Transformation also largely depends on the Martial Artist's destiny.

In his previous life, Duan Gujin, after entering other continents and undergoing strenuous Cultivation efforts, had barely managed to level up to the Martial Monarch Realm.
