Dustwind Hidden Valley Sect was busier than ever.
Lin Ruyin organized the disciples to scrub the floors, polish the courtyard stones, clean the roofs, and sweep the spiritual flower fields.
Jin Haru carried buckets back and forth, sweating like he was preparing for war.
Gu Wenhai clutched a broom with trembling hands.
"Remember everyone—our Ancestor values cleanliness above all."
Lin Ruyin nodded fiercely.
"One speck of dust… could destroy our sect."
Jin Haru nearly cried.
"We must protect the sect… from dirt."
The disciples worked with sincerity bordering on madness.
After all, Miyu had blasted away three great sects in a single yawn.
Dustwind was now the safest sect on the continent—
and also the most afraid of dust.

✨ Inside Miyu's Room
Miyu slept peacefully on her fluffy bed.
The divine Sun-Cleansing Staff (formerly a broom) rested beside her.
Her pillow rose and fell gently with her breathing.
The sect held their breath whenever she inhaled too sharply.
But today…
Miyu twitched.
Her fingers curled around the pillow.
Her cheeks puffed slightly.
Then—
She sat up.
Eyes closed.
Still asleep.
A terrifying aura leaked from her small body.
Jin Haru, sweeping outside, froze.
Lin Ruyin dropped her cloth.
Gu Wenhai paled.
"Oh no…"
Jin Haru whispered the words no one wanted to hear:
"Sleep… walking…"
Gu Wenhai dropped the broom.
"EVERYONE GET DOWN! NOW!"
The whole sect dove behind walls, pillars, bushes—anything.

✨ Sleepwalking Mode: Activated
Miyu rose from the bed, still asleep.
Her eyes remained closed.
Her face showed no emotion.
But her body…
moved with terrifying grace.
She stepped forward.
The floor turned golden beneath her feet.
She floated slightly above the ground.
Her pillow glowed faintly.
She walked through the wall—
Literally through it.
The wall turned to polished jade and slid apart like dust.
The disciples gasped.
Lin Ruyin whispered hoarsely,
"The Ancestor… is sleepwalking…"
Jin Haru covered his face.
"Not again… please not again…"
Sleepwalking Miyu drifted out into the courtyard.
She stopped.
Turned her head slowly—
And stared directly at the broom in Gu Wenhai's hands.
Even though her eyes were closed.
Gu Wenhai froze.
His soul nearly left his body.
"…I'm sorry," he whispered to the broom.
Miyu lifted one hand.
Golden light exploded.
BOOOOM!!!
The broom in Gu Wenhai's grip transformed into a divine weapon.
> ✦ Heavenly Wind-Cleansing Staff ✦
Rank: God-Tier
Effect: Summons holy hurricanes that remove impurity.
Gu Wenhai was blasted backward, rolling across the courtyard like a tumbleweed.
Jin Haru dug him out of a bush.
"S-Sect Master! Are you alive!?"
Gu Wenhai coughed leaves.
"She upgraded… the broom… again…"
Lin Ruyin trembled.
"Ancestor Miyu's sleepwalking… is more dangerous than her awake…"

✨ Sleepwalking Miyu Starts 'Cleaning'
Still asleep, Miyu raised her hand again.
Her finger pointed at a tile near the courtyard.
A tiny speck of dirt sat there.
A microscopic speck.
It sealed Dustwind's fate.
Miyu whispered in her sleep:
"…Dirty."
The sect disciples screamed.
Gu Wenhai paled.
"Brace yourselves!!"
A golden shockwave blasted outward.
KOOOOOOOM!!!
The entire courtyard erupted with purifying storm energy.
The tiles turned white.
The statues became holy.
The trees glowed.
The birds flying overhead fainted from cleanliness.
Even the clouds parted.
Jin Haru flew into the air like a leaf.
Lin Ruyin grabbed him mid-flight.
"Miyu Ancestor is cleansing the heavens!!!"
Gu Wenhai clung to a pillar.
"She's purifying the SKY!!"

✨ A Visitor Arrives at the Worst Possible Time
Far down the mountain, a figure approached Dustwind.
A young man in white robes with silver patterns.
Calm eyes.
Long hair tied back.
A noble air.
He wore the emblem of a phoenix.
He was from one of the Hidden Noble Families—
families so powerful that even great sects bowed to them.
He stopped at the gate.
"Mmm. This must be the Dustwind Sect… the one who awakened the divine aura."
His name was:
Liang Yuefeng, Young Master of the Silver Phoenix Clan.
He stepped into the courtyard…
Just as Miyu unleashed another wave of purifying qi.
Liang Yuefeng saw a tiny girl floating in the air—eyes closed, hugging a pillow.
He also saw a golden cleansing storm swirling around her.
He blinked.
"…What."
BOOOOOOOM!!!
The wave hit him.
Liang Yuefeng was blasted through a tree.
Then a rock.
Then a second tree.
He finally landed beside a cabbage patch, half-buried.
Dustwind disciples rushed over.
Gu Wenhai paled.
"It's a noble family member! Oh no… oh no…"
Lin Ruyin almost cried.
"Ancestor Miyu purified a Hidden Clan heir!"
Jin Haru whispered,
"We're going to die…"
But Liang Yuefeng stood back up.
Slowly.
Dusty, glowing, hair sparkling.
He stared at Miyu in disbelief.
Then… he bowed deeply.
Very deeply.
"Senior! Divine Senior! Please accept my respects!!"
Gu Wenhai blinked.
Jin Haru fainted.
Lin Ruyin covered her mouth.
Liang Yuefeng continued bowing.
"I—I came to investigate the divine aura…
but I did not think I would witness a heavenly being in mortal form!"
He knelt.
"Please… allow this junior to greet the Dustwind Ancestor!"
Gu Wenhai whispered to Lin Ruyin.
"He thinks Miyu is a heavenly ancestor…"
Lin Ruyin trembled.
"He's not wrong."

✨ Sleepwalking Miyu Notices the Cabbage Patch
Miyu drifted past Liang Yuefeng.
Still asleep.
She pointed at the cabbage patch.
A leaf was crooked.
Just slightly crooked.
She whispered:
"…Dirty."
Liang Yuefeng's heart stopped.
Gu Wenhai screamed.
"EVERYONE TAKE COVER!!!"
BOOOOOOM!!!
A third cleansing wave erupted.
The cabbage patch became a celestial garden.
The cabbages turned into spirit cabbages.
The soil became immortal soil.
The field shone like morning sun.
Liang Yuefeng's jaw dropped.
"This… this is divine creation… from a single gesture…"
He bowed even lower.
"I—I must serve this ancestor… This is destiny…"
---
✨ Miyu Falls Asleep Standing
After purifying everything within 300 meters, Miyu simply…
Stopped.
Her body swayed.
Then—
She fell asleep standing.
Still holding the pillow.
Lin Ruyin caught her gently.
"She's asleep again…"
The aura around the sect calmed.
The winds died.
Clouds slowly returned.
Gu Wenhai collapsed to his knees.
"Everyone… It's over… We survived…"
Jin Haru sobbed in relief.
Liang Yuefeng stood silently, eyes filled with awe.
"She… is a true immortal…"
---
✨ A New Follower Joins Dustwind
Liang Yuefeng bowed to Gu Wenhai.
"Please allow me to join your sect."
Gu Wenhai nearly fainted.
"You… YOU, a noble clan heir, want to join US?!"
Liang Yuefeng nodded firmly.
"I wish to follow the Ancestor. My clan will understand."
Lin Ruyin whispered to Gu Wenhai.
"Sect Master… if we accept him… our sect instantly rises in rank…"
Jin Haru punched the air.
"Accept him!!"
Gu Wenhai took a deep breath.
He bowed.
"Welcome to Dustwind… Disciple Liang Yuefeng."
Liang Yuefeng bowed deeply to Miyu, who was still asleep in Lin Ruyin's arms.
"Ancestor… I will devote myself to your teachings."
Jin Haru whispered:
"She… doesn't… teach… anything…"
Lin Ruyin elbowed him.
"Shh! Let him worship!"
---
✨ Miyu's Dream
Miyu smiled softly in her sleep.
"…Warm bed… more sleep…"
A gentle ripple spread across the sect.
Gu Wenhai stared with awe.
"She smiles… the heavens bless us…"
