Chapter 236: Bloodfire of the Four Clans

Early morning, the mist over the Cloud Mist Mountain Range had yet to disperse, and glistening dew drops condensed on the light membrane of the formation around Clear Stream Valley.

Su Ming, clad in the cyan outer sect disciple's robe, the Formation Peak iron token hanging at his waist, walked out of his cave dwelling with a solemn expression.

Today was his first lesson after being promoted to the outer sect. According to the sect's ironclad rule, all newly promoted disciples, regardless of talent or background, must go to "Teachings Peak" to listen to the "Cloud Hidden Ten Thousand Years Chronicle."

"Master, what do you think this first lesson will be about?" Su Ming asked in his consciousness sea as he changed into the robe and fastened the token. His Cloud Treading Boots stepped on the ground without a sound; he had already integrated the Aura Concealment Art into his daily walking, sitting, and resting.

"About what?" Lin Yu's phantom image sat cross-legged inside the ring, his voice tinged with a world-weary cynicism. "It certainly won't be teaching you classical literature or benevolence and morality. If everyone in this Cloud Hidden Sect truly believed in that set, they would have been devoured long ago, not even scraps remaining. In my view, this first lesson is to make you recognize—what a grinder of flesh and blood this world is; what a situation of the weak being prey to the strong you are in."

Su Ming's steps paused slightly, then immediately returned to normal. His figure, like a wisp of cyan smoke, shot out of the cave dwelling, merging into the morning mountain mist as he swiftly headed towards Teachings Peak.

The main hall of Teachings Peak was as majestic as a divine palace.

Hundreds of dark jade pillars, thick enough to require several people to encircle, rose from the ground, supporting the lofty dome. The dome was no ordinary thing; it was paved with "Zhou Tian Star Jade." At this moment, it slowly rotated, simulating the real trajectory of the starry sky outside, casting down a cold, clear radiance.

Inside the hall, several hundred newly promoted disciples stood solemnly. No one spoke; there were only faint sounds of breathing and the rustle of clothing. An intangible pressure permeated the air, as if a giant beast lurked in the shadows, gazing at every fledgling who had just entered these gates.

Suddenly, the star map on the dome blazed with light!Not a gentle light, but a searing white bolt of lightning that tore through the hall's tranquility and slammed down onto the central high platform!
