Foundation Establishment Stage Level Three!

Elder Grant was even more shocked. He had gone through countless hardships just to reach Foundation Establishment, and yet Logan Carter was already at Foundation Establishment Stage Level Three?

Logan Carter, afraid that Elder Grant might try something sneaky, knew he had to increase his standing in Fairy Ruby's eyes. So he no longer hid his cultivation and said, “Master, your disciple has already reached Foundation Establishment Stage Level Nine. I just wanted to keep a low profile, so I concealed my cultivation.”

As soon as he said this, both Elder Grant and Lily Foster widened their eyes.

“Junior brother! How did you break through so quickly?” Lily Foster exclaimed.

She had practically watched Logan Carter leap from Qi Refining Stage Level Nine all the way to Foundation Establishment Stage Level Nine.

This was just too outrageous!

Logan Carter said, “I’ve been cultivating in the Thunder Spirit Pool, not daring to slack off, which is why I’ve made such progress.”

Fairy Ruby smiled with satisfaction and said, “If everyone on Yuyou Peak worked as hard as you, Yuyou Peak would definitely become the strongest peak in the Yuqing Sect.”

[You have cultivated diligently and successfully gained Fairy Ruby’s approval. Reward: a body movement technique manual]

[Congratulations, you have obtained the Sevenfold Phantom Steps]

Logan Carter was secretly delighted and quickly said, “Master, your praise is too much for your disciple. I just enjoy cultivating, that’s all.”

Elder Grant tried hard to calm himself.

He understood that he could no longer surpass Logan Carter.

It was best to forget the past. If he told Fairy Ruby, it might even make her displeased.

He suddenly felt uneasy.

With Logan Carter’s cultivation, killing him would be as easy as turning a hand.

No way!

He had to resolve this grudge!

“Since you like cultivating so much, I’ll assign you a task. Go guard the Myriad Demon Realm of the Yuqing Sect,” Fairy Ruby suddenly said with a meaningful smile.

The Myriad Demon Realm...

It sounded awesome, but also dangerous!

Logan Carter instinctively resisted, but still asked cautiously, “Master, what kind of place is the Myriad Demon Realm?”

Lily Foster said excitedly, “It’s where the Yuqing Sect raises its demon pets. Master, I want to go too! Let me accompany Junior Brother Carter, so he won’t get bullied!”

Fairy Ruby glared at her, scaring her into silence.

“Each peak will send a disciple to guard the Myriad Demon Realm. Because there are so many types of demon pets, the realm contains all kinds of spiritual energy, and it’s very rich—perfect for your cultivation. However, it’s also dangerous. There are often cases of demon pets going berserk and disciples being brutally killed,” Fairy Ruby explained to Logan Carter.

Logan Carter could tell there was no room for negotiation, but being able to cultivate was a good thing.

Fighting demon beasts was better than fighting people.

Isn’t this just being a zoo security guard? Fine, I’ll go!

“Then I’ll follow Master’s arrangements,” Logan Carter said with a cupped fist.

Fairy Ruby nodded and said, “Pack your things and go directly to the Demon Pet Pavilion. Someone will take you to the Myriad Demon Realm. The previous guard was your senior brother, but now the sect leader has taken him away, so only you can go. If you complete the task smoothly, I’ll reward you. Also, for guarding the Myriad Demon Realm for a year, you’ll receive ten high-grade spirit stones, with no upper limit. This is an ongoing sect mission. Before you go, you can collect the task first.”

Chapter 13: Mysterious Demon Beast, Sect Leader Missing

Before returning to his cave, Logan Carter first inherited the Sevenfold Phantom Steps.

He had to strengthen himself first, in case of unexpected danger.

[Movement Technique: Peerless Dust—Top-tier aptitude for movement techniques]

With this innate fortune, Logan Carter fully mastered the Sevenfold Phantom Steps in just one hour.

This footwork had seven levels. With each level mastered, he could create an afterimage. With seven afterimages, he could confuse enemies, making it impossible for them to tell which was the real body. Using this technique also greatly increased his escape speed.

After learning it, Logan Carter returned to his cave to pack, then headed to the inner sect city.

First, he went to the Mission Hall to collect his task, then to the Demon Pet Pavilion.

...

Inside the Yuyou Hall.

Fairy Ruby stared expressionlessly at Elder Grant on the hall floor and slowly said, “I don’t want to dwell on your past with Logan Carter. From now on, you are fellow disciples. You must respect him and honor him. From what I know of him, he won’t scheme against you, so you can rest assured.”

Elder Grant knelt on the floor, sighed, and nodded slowly.

“In the future, Logan Carter will be a personal disciple of Yuyou Peak. Building a good relationship with him will only benefit you. As long as it’s not a blood feud, resolve it if you can.”

Fairy Ruby’s words shocked Elder Grant.

A personal disciple!

Fairy Ruby valued Logan Carter so highly?

Thinking of Logan Carter’s breakthrough speed, he fell silent.

That kid really deserved it!

...

Stepping out of the teleportation array, Logan Carter arrived at the Myriad Demon Realm.

The sky above the Myriad Demon Realm was shrouded in dark clouds, as if a torrential rain could fall at any moment.

Logan Carter took out his flying sword and began to fly.

According to the Demon Pet Pavilion disciple’s instructions, he first had to find the Yuyou Peak pavilion, which would be his base. This pavilion had restriction mechanisms, so ordinary demon beasts wouldn’t dare approach.

Of course, he couldn’t just hide in the pavilion forever. If there was a demon beast riot, he’d have to act to minimize losses for the Yuqing Sect.

The demon pets in the Myriad Demon Realm were all bought by the Yuqing Sect at great expense, and raising them consumed a lot of resources.

The pavilion wasn’t far from the teleportation array, and Logan Carter found it quickly.

It was a two-story pavilion, not very large, empty inside, with no one around.

After familiarizing himself with the restriction mechanisms, Logan Carter began to meditate and cultivate.

The long and tedious cultivation began again!
