Dustwind Valley was no longer a humble mountain sect.
Clean architecture floated in perfect formation.
Spirit pathways shone like polished crystal.
A shimmering Clean Barrier wrapped the valley like divine armor.
Attendants flew around issuing orders like divine managers.
Word spread quickly:
"Dustwind… transformed overnight."
"Is that a palace or a divine sanitization fortress?"
"I heard the walls are self-cleaning!"
"I heard a disciple stood crooked and immediately vomited!!"
Every region felt the tremor.

⭐ 1. THE CONTINENT REACTS TO THE NEW DUSTWIND
In the Iron Fist Sect:
The Sect Master stared at Dustwind's glowing skyline.
"…We trained a hundred years to gain one divine tool.
Dustwind gained TWENTY in one night?!"
A disciple whispered:
"I heard their toilets can teleport waste into another dimension."
The Sect Master fainted.
---
In the Star-Plucking Sect:
A grand elder saw Dustwind's barrier.
"That…
That is a Heavenly-Level Domain."
The disciple trembled.
"Elder… what do we do?"
The elder bowed solemnly.
"We send them a gift basket."
---
In demon territory:
The Demon Lord saw images of Dustwind's architecture.
"…Why is that sect… CLEANER than Heaven?"
His advisor swallowed.
"Lord… should we prepare for war?"
The Demon Lord slapped him.
"NO! WE MUST WASH FIRST! SCRUB EVERYTHING!!"

⭐ 2. RECRUITS SWARM DUSTWIND
Within three days—
**60,000 cultivators**
begged to join.
Lines stretched across mountains.
Applicants cried, screamed, fought, bribed, bowed, and tried to clean themselves violently.
One cultivator bathed in vinegar.
Another scrubbed with sand.
A third shaved his eyebrows for "aerodynamic hygiene."
Tien looked at the crowd and sobbed:
"WE ARE JUST A SMALL SECT—WHY ARE THERE SO MANY PEOPLE—?!"
Lucina clapped her hands once.
"Line up."
Everyone instantly lined up perfectly, like trained soldiers.
Tien whispered:
"She's scarier than Miyu…"
---
⭐ 3. THE AUDITIONS BEGIN
Lucina, Minn, and ALKA-9 stood before thousands.
**The Administrative Tribunal of Cleanliness** had assembled.
Tien whispered:
"Please be gentle…"
Minn replied:
"No."
Tien cried.
Aurelius took a seat, ready to assist.
Auntie Bao hugged Miyu as she watched from a floating chair.
Miyu blinked sleepily.
"…Ugly people outside?"
Auntie Bao whispered:
"No, sweetheart, they cleaned themselves. Hopefully."

⭐ 4. FIRST APPLICANT — THE PUNCHING PRODIGY
A giant man stepped forward.
"I am Iron Mountain! I wish to join Dustwind!"
Lucina stared.
"…Your nails are dirty."
Iron Mountain flinched.
"I—I will clean them!!"
He scrubbed them violently on his shirt.
Lucina gasped.
"YOU SPREAD THE DIRT."
She flicked her clipboard.
A clean gust blasted him into a tree.
Next.
---
⭐ 5. SECOND APPLICANT — THE FASTING MONK
A monk stepped forward.
"I have not eaten in 30 days. My body is pure."
Minn tilted her head.
"Your spiritual schedule is inconsistent."
He trembled.
"I—I can meditate more—"
Minn wrote:
"Rejected."
Tien whispered:
"She rejected him because his schedule was messy?!"
Minn:
"Yes."
---
⭐ 6. THIRD APPLICANT — THE ALCHEMIST
A nervous alchemist bowed.
"I want to join ALKA-9's division—"
ALKA-9 scanned him.
"Your cauldron has residue."
The alchemist paled.
"N-No! Please—I can clean—!"
A purification ray vaporized him (gently), leaving him sparkling.
ALKA-9 nodded.
"Pass."
Tien screamed:
"WHAT KIND OF TEST IS THAT—?!"
---
⭐ 7. MIYU GIVES FINAL JUDGMENT
Suddenly, Miyu floated forward.
Everyone bowed instantly.
Her eyes scanned the applicants.
"…Dirty. Dirty. Very dirty. Super dirty—"
Thousands fainted from shame.
Then she saw a young girl who bowed nervously.
Her robes were neat.
Her posture straight.
Her broom immaculate.
Miyu blinked.
"…Clean."
The girl burst into tears of joy.
"I—I passed?!"
Miyu nodded.
"…Okay."
ALKA-9 recorded it.
Minn scheduled her training.
Lucina assigned her a room within one second.
Tien collapsed from stress:
"WE'RE TURNING INTO A CLEAN FREAK EMPIRE—!!"
---
⭐ 8. DUSTWIND OFFICIALLY RISES
By sunset—
Only **120 out of 60,000** passed Miyu's Cleanliness Judgement.
These 120 stood proudly behind Miyu.
Aurelius formally announced:
"From this day forth…
Dustwind is no mere sect."
Lucina:
"We are the Cleanliness Authority."
Minn:
"The Schedule of Heaven."
ALKA-9:
"The Pure Alchemical Division."
Auntie Bao lifted Miyu proudly.
"Our Miyu is building a home."
Miyu hugged her pillow.
"…Dustwind clean."
The world trembled.
