Chapter 23 - CHAPTER 23 — The Envoys Witness Heavenly Sterility Arts

Dustwind Sect looked unnervingly bright today.

The walls gleamed.

The floors sparkled.

Even the wind felt freshly washed.

After the Fart Catastrophe,

nobody dared let a single speck of dust exist.

Aurelius patrolled the entrance like a sterile warden.

Auntie Bao sanitized the courtyard aggressively, her legendary weapon shifting shapes with every swipe.

The disciples moved with terror-induced precision.

Because today…

Envoys were coming.

---

⭐ 1. The Envoys Arrive — Fear and Regret

Six envoys from different sects climbed the mountain path, sweating bullets.

Envoy 1 whispered,

"This place smells like a hospital…"

Envoy 2 shivered.

"No… this smells like judgment."

Envoy 3 adjusted his sleeves nervously.

"I-I heard their Disciplinary Elder can sense dirt by smell alone…"

Envoy 4 trembled.

"And that their Ancestor Miyu nearly destroyed the world because of a fart."

All envoys nodded gravely.

They had heard.

---

⭐ 2. Aurelius the Sterile Gatekeeper

As they reached the entrance, Aurelius appeared soundlessly.

He didn't walk.

He materialized.

Cold.

Perfect.

Clean.

"Stop."

The envoys froze.

Aurelius scanned them with the eyes of a sanitation deity.

"…Unclean."

The envoys panicked.

"W-We bathed three times!"

"We scrubbed!"

"We used soap! GOOD soap!"

"Insufficient."

He activated a glowing Sterile Barrier Formation around them.

FWOOOOOM—!!!

A wave of purifying wind blasted across the envoys.

Their pores opened.

Their clothes whitened.

Their hidden sins evaporated.

One envoy cried in awe.

"I can… feel my past mistakes leaving my body…"

Aurelius nodded.

"You may now enter."

The envoys bowed repeatedly.

"As expected of Dustwind Sect!"

---

⭐ 3. Entrance of Auntie Bao — Sect Grandma Mode & Guardian Mode

A soft tap echoed.

Auntie Bao approached with her legendary transforming weapon.

Broom → Mop → Feather Duster → Medical Rod → Vacuum Cannon → Divine Slipper

The envoys nearly fainted.

She studied them in Guardian Mode.

"Hmph. Are these the ones who dare breathe near my sweet Miyu?"

All envoys kneeled.

"N-No disrespect, Grandma Elder!!!"

Auntie Bao's eyes narrowed.

"…One of you didn't wash behind your left ear."

Envoy #4 screamed in terror.

Auntie Bao smacked him with her disinfectant sandal.

SMACK!!!

He flew five meters and landed glowing.

"Now you are presentable."

---

⭐ 4. Miyu Appears — Sleepy but Elegant

Miyu stepped into the courtyard.

Her presence was soft—

sleepy, even—

but oddly graceful.

She rubbed her eyes, stifling a yawn.

"…Good morning."

The disciples bowed instantly.

"Greetings, Ancestor!"

Envoys bowed too, trembling.

As Miyu looked around, something flickered in her eyes—

a small, calm light.

Auntie Bao leaned close.

"Sweetie… did something happen?

You feel a little more… mature today."

Miyu blinked slowly.

"Mm… when I made a martial art yesterday,

something in my head felt warm…"

A soft chime echoed in her mind:

> [System Notice]

Host's past-life consciousness is stabilizing.

Adult memories may surface during moments of focus.

Dual-state personality is normal.

Miyu rubbed her cheek sleepily.

"So… I'm still me.

Just remembering a little more."

Auntie Bao instantly hugged her.

"Oh my poor baby—Grandma's here. Don't worry."

Miyu relaxed.

Envoys whispered:

"So it's memory awakening…"

"That explains her aura…"

---

⭐ 5. Heavenly Sterility Arts — Form Two Demonstration

Aurelius bowed.

"Ancestor, the envoys request proof of our sect's capability."

The envoys frantically waved their hands.

"N-Not request! Just curiosity!!"

Miyu sighed softly.

"…Okay."

She stepped forward.

Her sleepy demeanor faded.

Her movement became smooth—

elegant—

refined.

Auntie Bao whispered proudly:

"She's using Form Two…"

Miyu raised her hand.

Her voice soft but strict:

⭐ "Heavenly Sterility Arts — Form Two: DUSTLESS BLOOM."

BOOOOOOM—!!!

A wave of glowing white petals exploded across the courtyard.

The ground polished itself.

The trees sparkled.

The air turned crystal-clear.

The envoys screamed.

"My impurities—!!"

"I feel reborn!!"

"I CAN SEE MY REFLECTION IN THE DIRT!!!"

Aurelius bowed deeply.

"Perfection."

---

⭐ 6. Realm-Wide Reaction

⭐ Immortal Realm

An immortal elder's mirror shattered.

"She purifies impurity laws—?!

HEAVENS HELP US!!"

---

⭐ Demon Realm

A demon general coughed black smoke.

"S-stop her…!!

She's purifying our filth—!!!"

---

⭐ Primordial Abyss Demon Lord

A small crack formed in his seal.

He screamed:

"WHO IS CLEANING THE ABYSS?!

STOPppppp—!!!!"

---

⭐ 7. The Invitation

The envoys collapsed in worship.

"Ancestor Miyu!!

We respectfully invite Dustwind Sect to the Grand Assembly!"

Miyu touched her chin.

"…Assembly?"

The system chimed:

> ⭐ [MAIN QUEST: Attend the Assembly]

Reward: Major System Upgrade, Premium Attendant Summon, Sect Building Upgrade.

Miyu sighed.

"…Fine. We'll go."

The envoys fainted in relief.

Auntie Bao pumped her fist.

"YES!!

LET GRANDMA SHOW THEM WHAT CLEAN REALLY MEANS!"

Aurelius bowed.

"I shall prepare the sect immediately."

Dustwind disciples roared:

"WE WILL REPRESENT MIYU-SAMA—!!!!"

And across the realms…

immortals panicked,

demons despaired,

and the Abyss Lord cried again.

Because the clean freak was coming.
