NOVEL NEXT Chapter 50: Chapter 50: The Ethereal Sanctuary, Giant Sword Mountain, and the Bestowal Ceremony
Yes, that's right.
The name Lu Yunzhou chose for the force he's building for cultivators is "Ethereal"!
More precisely, it's called "Ethereal Sanctuary".
The reason behind this name is simple: the path of cultivation is elusive, seemingly beyond reach. Hence, the organization Lu Yunzhou established for cultivators is aptly named "Ethereal Sanctuary", signifying the pursuit of immortality.
Besides, names like "Sect," "Palace," or "Clan" felt overused to Lu Yunzhou. The term "Sanctuary," however, had an appropriate gravitas, didn't it?
Thus, "Ethereal Sanctuary" became the name of Lu Yunzhou's new force.

"Mr. Lu, where are we headed next?"
After spending some time alongside Lu Yunzhou, Qian Renxue had learned and seen much, piquing her curiosity about what he planned to do next or where they would go.
Hearing her question, Lu Yunzhou's lips curved into a subtle smile as he replied, "I'm going to find a place to establish my force—one for cultivators."
Receiving this answer, Qian Renxue fell into thoughtful silence.
Find a place to establish a force? Such a location would have to match Lu Yunzhou's stature, wouldn't it?
A place suited to someone of his standing would surely need to be a realm of lush beauty and idyllic landscapes, right? And it would need to be vast, as only a place like that could reflect Lu Yunzhou's power.
To support him and strengthen their bond, Qian Renxue decided to lend him a hand.
After careful consideration, an idea flashed in her mind as a location sprang to life in her thoughts: "Giant Sword Mountain".
Giant Sword Mountain was said to be the site of a legendary battle between the Angel God and the Rakshasa God. Later, the Angel God cast their sword upon the earth, and over time, it transformed into the colossal Giant Sword Mountain.
It was also the place where Sword Sage Dustsight Jun once battled Qian Daoliu.
Now, the legacy of the Angel Clan resides within Giant Sword Mountain. Its picturesque beauty, resembling an untouched paradise, would make it an ideal base for Lu Yunzhou's force, in Qian Renxue's opinion.
With a plan set, Qian Renxue promptly suggested, "Mr. Lu, I happen to know of a place that should meet your requirements. Why don't I take you to see it?"
Hearing this, Lu Yunzhou gave a brief nod of agreement. "Then I'll trouble you, Miss Qian."
"Very well."
With a faint smile, Qian Renxue agreed and, together with Lu Yunzhou, headed toward Giant Sword Mountain, a site standing at the borders of the Heaven Dou Empire and Star Luo Empire.
For Lu Yunzhou, the goal was clear: complete the fourth and fifth tasks issued by the cultivation system as quickly as possible. He just needed a place to establish his sect and set up his base; the rest was unimportant.
To reach Giant Sword Mountain quickly, Lu Yunzhou and Qian Renxue traveled by a cloud ferry.

Meanwhile, at the Spirit Hall's Sacred Offering Hall:
"Devil Bear, Ghost Leopard, what's going on with you two? You just went out on a mission, and now… your Soul Power has reached level ninety-six?"
The speaker was the Spirit Hall's Seventh Consecration, Conquering Douluo.
As he spoke, Conquering Douluo's face was full of bewilderment.
After reaching the level of Titled Douluo, advancing by even one level of Soul Power required years of arduous effort. Yet Devil Bear and Ghost Leopard had somehow returned from a simple mission with breakthroughs in their levels.
Conquering Douluo couldn't help but be curious about what happened.
Upon hearing the question, Devil Bear Douluo didn't dare hide anything and truthfully recounted all that had occurred.
After listening to the full story, Conquering Douluo's expression was one of complete astonishment.
"What? A single pill allowed you to break through?"
"And Serpent Spear and Porcupinefish gained two levels each? They're now only one step away from peak rank?"
"You're not… pulling my leg, are you?"
After speaking, Conquering Douluo subconsciously swallowed.
"How could we dare deceive you, Consecration?" Devil Bear Douluo replied with a chuckle.
As incredible as it sounded, Conquering Douluo had to believe them—Devil Bear and Ghost Leopard had no reason to lie to him.
Finally regaining his composure, Conquering Douluo felt a rush of envy. Back in the day, he and his brother Thousand Jun had exhausted all their resources and wits to break through to level ninety-six, and only with the assistance of Grand Consecration Qian
Daoliu did they finally reach their current level.
But Devil Bear and Ghost Leopard? They merely took a trip to the Star Dou Forest, played around a bit, received a miraculous pill, and broke through to peak Douluo level ninety-six.
This… was enough to drive one mad with jealousy!
"Lu Yunzhou, is it? I'll remember your name."
Conquering Douluo mentally noted the name of this "immortal figure" that Devil Bear Douluo spoke of. If he ever met Lu Yunzhou, he would definitely prostrate himself and beg for such a pill.
At that moment, a voice suddenly rang out without warning:
"Devil Bear, Ghost Leopard, you've reached level ninety-six Titled Douluo, correct? In that case, come here. I shall conduct the consecration ceremony for both of you."
"Inform Bibi Dong, as well as all elders and bishops within the Spirit Hall. Unless occupied with important matters, they are to attend the ceremony as usual."
"The location, as always, will be Giant Sword Mountain."
There was no mistaking the voice—it belonged to Spirit Hall's arbiter elder and Grand Consecration, "Qian Daoliu".
The moment they recognized the command, Devil Bear, Ghost Leopard, and Conquering Douluo spoke in unison: "We humbly obey the Grand Consecration's orders!"
