"It's good, he should be close to finishing his seclusion!"

Hou Luoming's Divine Sense entered Duan Gujin's residence ahead, and noticed the Pure Divine Light within the room starting to dim, gradually clearing the view inside.

After a while, everyone saw Duan Gujin sitting on the ground, the radiant light about him slowly fading.

They immediately grew interested in the radiant light about him, locking their Divine Sense onto it to determine what it was.

However, after a thorough inspection, they still couldn't ascertain the nature of the radiant light.

By that time, the Nine Nether Earth Fire had already entered the Green Stone, and Duan Gujin had 'awakened' from his seclusion state.

"Excellent, I've already broken through to the Martial Emperor Realm!"

Duan Gujin internally inspected his body with his Divine Sense, and he quickly realized that he was now a Martial Artist of the Martial Emperor Realm.

Though the result was somewhat beyond his expectations, he had truly felt like he was constantly breaking through one new realm after another, undergoing transformation after transformation.

He knew this transformation meant his Cultivation had advanced a minor realm.

After repeatedly striking at minor realms, it definitely meant he was soon to strike at a Great Realm.

Duan Gujin had previously speculated that his final pause certainly had to do with challenging a Great Realm, and now inspecting himself with his Divine Sense, he discovered that his Cultivation had indeed broken through to the Martial Emperor Realm.

He felt emotional for a moment, then inspected his body again with his Divine Sense, checking on his current bodily condition.

"Duan Gujin, your seclusion has ended?"

Suddenly, a deep voice came from afar.

Duan Gujin slightly furrowed his brows and hastened his external Divine Sense inspection.

The next moment, he realized there were several powerful auras nearby, some of the Martial Emperor Realm, and some of the Martial Saint Realm.

Beside Elder Wan, there was an elder with white hair, looking aged but with spirited, bright eyes, emitting a strong Martial Saint aura, immediately making Duan Gujin realize that the elder's identity was extraordinary.

"Duan Gujin, come over here, let me introduce someone to you, please come," Elder Wan said gravely.

Duan Gujin lightly furrowed his brows, guessing the powerful identity of the Martial Saint Expert from Elder Wan's reverent behavior.

He took a deep breath, used a Flying Technique, and flew forward.

He arrived in front of Elder Wan and the Martial Saint Expert, promptly greeted, and said to the Martial Saint Expert, "I pay respects to the elder!"

Elder Wan quickly said, "This is the Sect Master of the Blood Killing Sect!"

At this, Duan Gujin's expression subtly changed, and he greeted again, "I've seen the Sect Master!"

Hou Luoming looked closely at Duan Gujin, his eyes filled with astonishment.

After a moment, he expressed a desire to check Duan Gujin's physical condition.

"Duan Gujin, may I see what's going on with your body, considering your seclusion lasted so many days?"

Duan Gujin's eyes flickered hesitantly for a moment before allowing Hou Luoming to examine him.

He knew, with Hou Luoming's Martial Saint Realm Cultivation, that his strength could be clearly discerned, and even if he didn't want the inspection, he believed the other party could still clearly discern his details.

With Duan Gujin's consent, Hou Luoming immediately began examining him.

After a while, he confirmed that Duan Gujin's Cultivation had indeed broken through to the Martial Emperor Realm.

"Elder Wan, we need to enter your room to look at something! Elder Wan, activate the Divine Sense Shielding Array immediately!"

Hou Luoming transmitted his voice to Elder Wan, who, upon hearing the request, immediately understood; he knew that the Sect Master wanted to see the Innate Spiritual Object in Duan Gujin's possession with his own eyes.

"Please come in!"

Thus, Elder Wan led Duan Gujin and Hou Luoming into his residence, and then activated the Divine Sense Shielding Array.

"Everyone, just go do what you were supposed to do! The show is over, everyone go back to your own homes!"

Just then, Hou Luoming loudly shouted out.

The nearby Alchemists immediately understood; they wouldn't dare to offend the Sect Master, and with a flash, they quickly distanced themselves from the place.

Hou Luoming checked the Divine Sense Shielding Array set up by Elder Wan again, and after confirming there were no issues, he allowed Duan Gujin to release the Nine Nether Earth Fire.

Upon hearing Duan Gujin's transmission, the Nine Nether Earth Fire reluctantly came out.

Once it emerged, it saw two strangers and immediately understood.

"Damn it! You make me come out just to be gawked at like a monkey! What's there to see!"

The Nine Nether Earth Fire immediately sent a Divine Thought to Duan Gujin, which Hou Luoming sensed.

Hou Luoming drew in a sharp breath, his Divine Sense locked onto the Nine Nether Earth Fire.

A moment later, he confirmed that the Nine Nether Earth Fire was indeed a cluster of flames—not a life form like the Devil Clan.

"It really is an Innate Spiritual Object!"

Now, seeing that the cluster of flames was indeed an Innate Spiritual Object, Hou Luoming was immensely shocked.

In the Jiuzhou Continent, Innate Spiritual Objects were legendary.

Although the upper echelons of First-class Sects had announced that anyone presenting an Innate Spiritual Object would receive a hefty reward,

Until now, Innate Spiritual Objects were rarely seen or even mentioned in the Jiuzhou Continent.

Seeing that cluster of flames and knowing it was an Innate Spiritual Object, myriad thoughts raced through Hou Luoming's mind.

"How great it would be if this Innate Spiritual Object were mine!"

He had previously thought about using seduction as a method to obtain the Innate Spiritual Object from Duan Gujin, and now that he had seen it, he felt he must immediately enact the seduction plan.

"There must be a powerful master secretly assisting Duan Gujin; otherwise, it's too much of a coincidence that right after he entered the Hundred Saints Mountain, he would find the deeply hidden Innate Spiritual Object. He must have been hinted at by that master to enter the Hundred Saints Mountain to search for the Innate Spiritual Object!"

After thinking, Hou Luoming reached a conclusion.

"The master behind Duan Gujin must be much stronger than me! The other party doesn't care at all about an Innate Spiritual Object! Could it be that the master behind Duan Gujin is from the Divine World?"

His mind whirled, feeling that there truly must be a Divine person supporting Duan Gujin from behind.

"It might be that Duan Gujin's true identity is the illegitimate son of some Divine being from the Divine World, sent to the Jiuzhou Continent. Since his identity is not simple, that master behind him would spare no expense in aiding his success!"

Previously, Hou Luoming had felt that there was something extraordinary about Duan Gujin's identity.

This time, upon seeing the Innate Spiritual Object with his own eyes, he felt he still should proceed with the seduction plan.

Even if the seduction plan failed, he could later find other excuses to shrug it off.

But if he resorted to overt or covert theft of the object from Duan Gujin and the master from the Divine World behind him uncovered the truth, then he would definitely be annihilated by the other party, and the entire Blood Killing Sect could instantly be destroyed by them.
