Locksky Sword Sect

**The Crimsonbright Diagram of the Nine Heavens (赤明九天图)** is the undisputed #1 Fiendgod Body Refining method across the Three Realms. Reaching layer seven means Ji Ning has achieved **Blood-Drop Rebirth**—he can regenerate from a single drop of blood. In most sects, that alone would guarantee him a top-tier slot. That the Black-White College treats him as merely “possible” showcases their ludicrously high standards. They’re looking for monsters, not merely prodigies.

Story context

Welcome to the first day of mass sect recruitment in Anchan City—think of it as the Xianxia equivalent of a high-stakes college admissions day, except with more magical mirrors and way less paperwork. Our three traveling companions, Meng Xin, Meng Yan, and Meng Jun, hit the streets with very different prospects. Meanwhile, Ji Ning finally makes his move toward the legendary Black-White College, arriving at a scene of absolute chaos and brutal selection. The chapter crackles with the tension of young cultivators throwing their names into the ring, knowing that most will be culled before they even get a real test.

Why it matters

If you love seeing a protagonist walk into a room and immediately become the center of silent gravitational pull, this is your jam. Ji Ning doesn’t need to fight anyone yet—his reputation, built on the Wuyou Caverns and his absurd Crimsonbright level, does the talking. The real treat here is watching the social ecosystem of Anchan City unfold: the desperate, the arrogant, the loyal, and the backstabbers all colliding at the gates of the top college. Keep your eyes on that black-robed cultivator—he’s already positioning himself as a foil, and our boy Ji Ning isn't in the mood to play nice.
