Before diving into the story, please take note of the 7 cultivation stages to become a Supreme Sage.

Mo Han studied the cultivation levels multiple times and observed the effort needed to reach the peak of cultivation.
As Lambu had said, he needed to become a Sovereign Supreme cultivator to step into the Dragon Realm.
Thinking about the long way ahead, Mo Han flipped the pages and began observing the ranks of weapons and the grades of treasures.
At the end, the manual also mentioned alchemy and the different types of pill grades.
Elementary-grade Pills- Basic pills made from common herbs; used for minor healing, Qi recovery, or early-stage cultivation.
Human grade Pills- Mid-tier pills that assist in stabilizing cultivation, strengthening meridians, and speeding up breakthroughs.
Earth-grade Pills- Powerful pills refined with rare earthly ingredients; enhance core strength, body refinement, and elemental control.
Heaven-grade Pills- High-tier pills containing rarest of the rare ingredients; often used during bottlenecks or major stage transitions.
Sovereign-grade Pills- Extremely rare and potent; crafted by top alchemists,
Divine-grade Pills- Legendary pills infused with divine essence; can grant enlightenment, lifespan extension, And have a pill spirit.
As there was no alchemy division on the Burning Sun Peak, Mo Han did not have the opportunity to visit or see how alchemy was performed.
"First, I need to start from the basics and learn all the necessary things for survival on this planet. It would be good if I can find a good backer who can help me with resources," Mo Han muttered as he closed the basic cultivation manual.
Then he picked another book, which was titled "Glory of the Twin Sun Realm."
As he flipped through the pages, Mo Han felt curious and continued to read every single line. The manual mentioned many details about the current planet he was living on.
Like Earth, there were seven continents on this planet. Five of them were grouped together in a pentagon-shaped formation. The other two were like islands placed on the northern and southern ends.
He was currently living on the Golden Leaf Continent, and the Burning Sun Peak was located among the Northern Fire Mountains.
There were also several important places marked on the map, which was presented in the central pages.
As Mo Han flipped further, he came across details about different organizations which were the main governing bodies of the seven continents.
Like on modern Earth, where big business corporations held great power, the Twin Sun Realm was also led by a few big associations.
Immortal Jade Treasure House was one of the main business sects where many people stored their wealth.
Just as Mo Han turned the pages to read more about the other big sects, he heard hurried footsteps coming closer.
When he lifted his head, Mo Han saw a young man and woman who were hugging and kissing.
They completely ignored the world-around them, climbing the steps while touching each other.
Mo Han was taken aback by the sight of the two lovebirds acting wild and brazen, without any concern for their surroundings.
While kissing the young man, the lady saw Mo Han from the corner of her eye.
She immediately pushed the fellow in her arms and turned away in fright. The young man, who almost fell from the stairs, tightly grabbed the wooden railing and held himself in place.
After seeing Mo Han, the young man understood what had just happened. Upon seeing the uniform Mo Han was wearing… the young man felt enraged.
"You shameless bastard! How dare you-stare at us? Who allowed a wild-brat like you inside the sect library?" the young man cried out angrily, pointing a finger at Mo Han.
Mo Han stared at the young man from head to toe.
He was the one actually reading books inside the library, while the other guy was doing all sorts of blasphemy with a female in the sacred place of learning.
"What are you still staring at? Run from here, bastard, before we kick you like a dog!" the lady with half-open clothes shouted, taking out her bangle-like weapon.
Just as Mo Han stood up counter the young man and the lady, Fatty Lambu reached in a hurry.
"Sorry, Senior! It's our first day inside the sect and we came to clean the library. Sorry for disturbing your…" Lambu paused, unsure how to put the word s*x in a more polite way. "...intimate time," he finally blurted out.
"You… fat pig! What did you say?" the lady raised her-fist in anger after hearing the word intimate.
"Sorry… sorry! I didn't mean to say that. Please forgive us for any mistakes," Lambu said, hurriedly dragging Mo Han along with him downstairs.
The lady felt like kicking Lambu, but he had already vanished, not giving her a chance.
"It's okay… they're just some small flies. Let's not waste our time on them," the young man said as he moved close and laid his hand around her waist.
But the lady immediately pushed him away and left the library with an angry face.

"Brother Han, never go to that place again," Lambu said while gasping for air.
"Why are you saying that? There are actually free manuals to read," Mo Han asked.
"Because that place is a lovers' spot. Many inner court disciples come to the library for that specific place. It's not good if you're caught staring at them while they do that thing," Fatty whispered, as if revealing a big secret.
"Why are they doing it in such a place? Aren't there many good places outside? We even have so many bushes in the garden. Why the hell do they want to do this inside a library?" Mo Han asked with a confused look.
"I asked the same question to a Senior after carrying his stuff previously. He said some women specifically love that spot as they feel more excited doing it in such a silent place."
Both Lambu and Mo Han stared at each other's faces for a second—and then burst into laughter.
Just then, Elder Ping appeared from behind.
"What the hell are you guys doing instead of cleaning the library?" Elder Ping asked in a serious tone.
Both Lambu and Mo Han turned around with serious expressions.
"We already finished cleaning, respected Elder," Lambu reported while bowing his-head.
