"Guide, is this the newcomer?"

A hoarse voice rang out; it was a woman's voice.

Chu Tianyao looked in the direction of the sound...

This female cultivator, at the ninth level of the Nascent Soul Realm, possessed an extremely graceful figure.

She was wearing a dark gray dress, made of a light and thin material...

You can vaguely see the female cultivator's impressive figure.

Chu Tianyao scrutinized the female cultivator before him, seemingly trying to get a good look at her...

"Have you seen enough?!" The hoarse voice rang out again, with a hint of annoyance in the female cultivator's voice.

Chu Tianyao sighed inwardly, "What a pity... such a stunning beauty, yet her voice is so hoarse."

Chu Tianyao ignored the female cultivator and turned his gaze elsewhere.

The receptionist, a cultivator at the Void Refinement Realm, said calmly, "Han Yan'er, his name is Chu Tianyao. He just came from the Lower Realm and will be working in this mountain range from now on."

As he spoke, he looked at Chu Tianyao and said, "This is Han Yan'er, who also came from the Lower Realm. She is your senior, so you will follow her from now on."

Chu Tianyao nodded and clasped his hands in greeting to Han Yan'er, saying, "Hello, Sister Han."

Han Yan'er seemed very dissatisfied with Chu Tianyao's scrutiny just now, but she only lashed out because the guide was around.

She snorted coldly, "Come with me."

Once the handover was complete, the guide from the Void Refinement Realm turned and left.

Han Yan'er walked in front, and Chu Tianyao walked behind her.

The two remained silent the entire way...

A moment later, Han Yan'er pointed to a cave.

"You will live here from now on. It's getting late today, so get used to the spiritual environment of the Upper Realm."

"Tomorrow morning, gather at the entrance to the mountain range to begin our work."

Han Yan'er said this, then gave Chu Tianyao a cold look. "And another thing, if you ever look at me like that again, I'll kill you!"

Chu Tianyao assessed the strength of both sides and estimated that he would not be able to win for the time being.

He nodded. "Sister Han, I understand."

Han Yan'er stopped talking and turned to leave.

Chu Tianyao entered the cave...

The cave dwelling was very simple inside, yet it still had the effect of gathering spiritual energy.

"The spiritual energy is very abundant...which is very beneficial for spiritual practice."

"However, thanks to the Yin-Yang Derivation Heaven Technique and the Supreme Forgetfulness Technique, I can sign in every day to receive 120,000 Derivation Dao Points."

"Whether the spiritual energy is abundant or scarce, it doesn't have much of an impact on me."

Chu Tianyao sat down on the bed in the cave and began to meditate and regulate his breathing.

"This Upper Realm is teeming with geniuses... even the person in charge of guiding them is at the Refinement of Void Realm!"

"From the number one genius of the Lower Realm to an ant in the Upper Realm that could be easily wiped out... the contrast is truly enormous!"

"Which one who achieves the Nascent Soul stage from the Lower Realm isn't a proud and arrogant genius? And how spirited and exhilarated they are as they ascend the Thunder Cloud Ladder to the Upper Realm..."

"But what was the result? We were actually assigned to labor... Every guide was at the Void Refinement Realm, so there was no way to resist... We could only obediently obey the arrangements."

"However, circumstances are beyond our control... In the cultivation world, strength reigns supreme! Right now, the only way to make a name for ourselves in the Upper Realm is to improve our strength as quickly as possible."

Chu Tianyao seemed thoughtful. "However, the spiritual energy here is abundant, and they've even arranged a simple cave dwelling for us..."

"Clearly, the big shots in the Upper Realm... do not intend to completely block the path for cultivators from the Lower Realm."

"Comparison? ...The cultivators of the Upper Realm feed on the geniuses of my race, this is already far better!"

Chu Tianyao pondered for a moment, "Previously, in the True Realm, I wiped out the Northern Wolf Clan, the Western Demon Clan, and the Qionghuang Dynasty, and obtained a lot of resources..."

"There are supplies worth approximately 360 million crystals..."

"For now, let's use it to improve our cultivation level."

Chu Tianyao issued instructions to the system.

"System, recycle all materials and convert them into Dao Points."

"Ding! Cultivation pills and magic artifacts are being recycled. Dao Points are being calculated. Please wait..."

"Ding! After confirmation... You have obtained Dao Derivation Points."

"My current cultivation level is the first level of the Nascent Soul Realm!"

"The current Dao Points are sufficient to advance your realm... (Each advancement in the Divine Transformation Realm requires Dao Points.) Current remaining Dao Points."

"Current cultivation level is the sixth level of the Nascent Soul Realm! (Each advancement in the Nascent Soul Realm requires Dao Derivation Points) 200 Dao Derivation Points remaining."

From the first level of the Nascent Soul Realm to the sixth level of the Nascent Soul Realm!

Almost instantly, Chu Tianyao stepped into the mid-to-late stage of the Nascent Soul Realm!
