After the Origin Lust Sword Dynasty was officially founded, the very same day, two massive black slates filled with texts started to appear all over the city.
When the humans saw the content of those slates, they were instantly ecstatic because they were both cultivation scriptures, Cyrus had promised them, and they were available for everyone to learn.
The males quickly jolted down the Origin Lust Sword Yang Qi Gathering Scripture to the very last details, and some even wrote it down since there was nothing about not recording the contents of those scriptures.
The females were also focusing on the Origin Lust Sword Yin Qi Gathering Scripture enthusiastically.
Cyrus described every basic detail in those scriptures about how to reset their foundation and cultivate with Qi, so no one has a difficult time understanding those scriptures.
Afterward, people started to quickly make their way toward their houses which were already occupied by them as they were making them, and Cyrus didn't tell them specifically to move into a certain house.
Furthermore, almost all the living quarters were made the same, and the only vacant area of the city was the market and some other key structures like an enforcer center, an institute, and such.
Cyrus was planning on filling these places as time passed, and people started to become accustomed to their daily lives as cultivators.
On the other hand, after spending some quality time with Hilda, Cyrus lets her take the next trial since she instated it and did not obstruct her.
Because in the past month, Rita has already mastered the first move of the Hymn of Awakening to the Intermediate proficiency and was preparing to enter the fourth trial.
As for the other three girls, they were still yet to take the third-floor trial because they were stopped by Cyrus and only allowed to take the trial when they reached the Foundation Building Realm.
Speaking of it, the three girls, after losing their purity to Cyrus, all made massive progress, and all of them were still in the cultivation state for three days.
Only Rita was present when Cyrus made the announcement, and she was wandering in the new city today that everyone had built for Cyrus. He also didn't stop her and gave her a day off as it was good for her mind.
Hilda was also given the 12 hours period to comprehend the first strike of the hymn of awakening in the same way as Rita. She was also shocked to see that strike and instantly started to learn it with full focus, and with her new cultivation, she was making steady progress.
As for Cyrus, he looked at the same move again, and this time, he also didn't waste any time and went to a remote place to practice under the guidance of a somewhat pissed Eve.
However, after spending another twelve hours in tireless practice, Cyrus still wasn't able to achieve perfection proficiency which made him grimace as he could tell there was some sort of barrier obstructing him.

Cyrus then vanished from his spot back to the temple as he knew Hilda would most likely take the next floor trial, and he couldn't miss it.
Hilda stood with a somewhat exhausted expression as well as a small frown on her fairy-like face because she was just told that she only managed to pass the trial with a 39% Initial Proficiency which was the minimum requirement to pass the trial.
This was quite a blow to her confidence which she gained after achieving the late stage of the Qi core realm.
There were Early, Middle, and Late Stages of the Qi Core Realm, and Rita was still halfway done with the Early Stage of the Qi Core Realm despite cultivating day and night as well as having Cyrus's yang essence to boot.
But Hilda was only a small step away from reaching the next realm, yet she couldn't even achieve intermediate proficiency, which made her very dissatisfied with herself.
"[You have cleared the Third Floor Trial!]
"[Do you want to move to the Fourth Floor Trial?]"
"Can I take this trial again?" Hilda asked as she wasn't happy with her result.
"[No! You need to practice on your own now!]"
"Then, yes, I would like to move on." She said without hesitation with squinted cold eyes and quickly took the passage toward the fourth floor.
Cyrus, who was watching all this, chuckled, "She clearly didn't like the result."
"Hmph, she's arrogant!" Eve spat spitefully.
"Just like someone I know." Cyrus teasingly stated.
"Mind you. I'm arrogant because I am qualified!" Eve haughtily retorted.
Cyrus didn't refute that statement, "I know, and that's why I'm asking you if there is something else I'm missing in my practice, yet you said the same thing all the time."
"I'm only telling you what I'm feeling, you're missing something very important which is stopping you from progressing, and I can't catch the problem unless you make some progress." She helplessly replied.
Cyrus didn't continue on this topic as he knew Eve was doing her best, but the problem lay with him. He was the one who couldn't follow her flawless instructions, and whenever he was close, something came his way.
This was a bottleneck he had reached in his swordsmanship, which he needed to resolve himself.
"I think we need to enter a real-time battle now since it's a sword problem; the battlefield is the only place where I can look." Cyrus shared his thoughts with Eve.
"You are the expert here. But don't push yourself too hard, and do something dangerous." Eve worriedly replied.
Cyrus merely smiled as he knew his limit, and he knew it was time to start looking for those ten sacrifices so he could complete his Lust mission. He thought that this bottleneck might be because his power level was too low.
But the problem with doing this was he needed to go somewhere else since this dimension was no longer a hunting ground for him, and it just started moving on the right track.
So, he needed to create a dimension gate toward the outside world, but his dimension was clearly not ready yet for the other side's invasion. He was pretty sure that those ten clans would be outside waiting after the appearance of Origin Lust Sword Dimension, and the more time he kept it close, the more powerful people would develop an interest in it.
Yet he also needed to power and grow more so he could suppress anyone, and he needed to kill since it was the fastest way to grow for him.
Despite the Temple bringing him a steady supply of SP, LXP, and EXP, it was still too slow for him, and he needed to grow faster.
So, he decided to finally focus on the function he had left alone from the start, the dimension gates!
But first, he focused on Hilda as she had just reached the fourth floor.
The fourth floor, surprisingly, wasn't a grass field. Instead, it was a purple ice field, and Cyrus's eyes shimmered, 'Yin ice field?' he mused when he saw Hilda seemed to be effective by the cold and only the Yin Element that rivaled the Destruction Element could make Hilda feel cold now.
"[Welcome to the Fourth Trial Floor, Temple Worshiper Hilda!]
"[NOTE: This Floor can only be accessed by one Temple Deacon at a time and is unassessable until the first participant is undergoing the trial!]
"[Fourth Origin Lust Sword Temple Floor Trial for Origin Lust Sword Temple Priest will now begin!]
"[The Origin Lust Sword Temple Priest is someone who only has the Origin Lust Sword in her heart and has found the path of salvation! But the path of salvation is never easy to follow, and it is filled with deadly obstacles which only a Priest could overcome!]
"[The Third Trial is the trial of the Priest who wanted to find salvation in the dark and deadly path of Origin Lust Sword!]
"[Mandatory Weapon: Sword]
"[Trial Description (1): Use the First Strike of Origin Lust Sword Hymn of Awakening and kill 100 enemies of equivalent rank!]
"[Trial Description (2): It will be revealed when you complete the first trial!]
"[Warning (1): No external items other than a Sword provided by the Temple or any other spell or skill other than the First move of Hymn of Awakening are not allowed! If you are caught using at any moment, the trial will be deemed failed!
"[Warning (2): This trial can result in the Temple Deacon's death. If you are on your limit, please shout or think 'Withdraw' and the trial will be stopped! Dimension Ruler can stop the trial on his behest!]"
