While exiting the lake garden, Li Shen saw his bodyguard on the ground cross-legged with slumped shoulders. His face was pale and his entire clothes were soaked with sweat.As they approached him he looked up at Lu Yue with a frightened expression.The two streams of hot and cold energy had completely suppressed him. If this was a battle, after that one sword attack from her Li Wen would have had to fight while the energies destroy him internally.If he had been on alert he could have prevented them from entering his palm, but when they did it showed how terrifying Lu Yue’s strange yin and yang essences were.Seeing his bodyguard’s expression, Li Shen smiled and said.“What was your name again?”“My name is Li Wen Second Prince.”“Hm, Li Wen, you’re a distant relative of mine so you don’t have to be so formal. Anyway, don’t mention what you see here okay?”While saying that, Li Shen walked by Li Wen and patted him on the shoulder.Weakly getting up, Li Wen bowed to Li Shen and said.“

Hearing that, all the other Elders began laughing at Elder Songhai.“Old Eighth, you always had crooked handwriting but to think your life’s work would be misunderstood by the younger generation because of it, Bwahahaha!”Inside a cave quite some distance away, an old man in ragged clothes and unkempt hair had on an ugly expression.“Look here brat, listen closely while I explain the third Principle!”With that, Li Songhai began explaining the third Principle Manipulation to Li Shen. After finishing, Li Songhai thought that was over, but Li Shen suddenly ask another question.At first, Li Songhai didn’t know what he got himself into but as Li Shen continue to bombard him with questions and was even suggesting ways to improve his theory, the old man in the cave who was Li Songhai himself, couldn't help but have his eyes go wide, completely gob-smack.‘What the hell is wrong with this brat? He’s not even asking questions about my area of expertise, he’s going into the fundamentals of ru

With a wave of his hand, Li Shen undid the chains to reveal the club.Eyes shining with curiosity, he knelt down to get a closer look. Immediately, he saw the runes carved on it and his eyes couldn’t help but widen.“These are spatial runes. This isn’t just a simple club, this is a treasure!”This was probably the reason why the space around I Shen seemed to solidify when the stone giant attacked him.“However, who would carve spatial runes in a stone club? That was like embedding diamonds in dregs.”But as Li Shen said that, he realize the stone club wasn’t so simple either. If he wasn’t mistaken, this stone club was similar to the material this stone giant was made from.It was strange.Li Shen couldn’t sense any life force from it like a living being, and the stone it was made from was stone but at the same time different.Li Shen turned his gaze from the club to the stone giant next to him.“How strange, what exactly are you?”As Li Shen spoke he saw the stone giant turn its featu

*6 days later...*Near the barrier to enter the core region, a portal was suddenly opened.“Bastard! Where do you think you're going?! GET HIM!!”Swoosh!!A figure leaped out of the portal, followed by a mad cackle that sounded like a low-budget movie villain.“HAHAHA!!!”“You guys are the bastards! And thanks for that sacred ore, see you guys some other time!!”After rushing out of the portal, the figure turned and exaggeratedly waved his hand high in the air at the stone golems inside the portals.Seeing this, the stone golems all felt a burning hatred for this person burst from their life cores.“You damn fiend Li Shen!! If you ever come back in here you’re dead!!” The figure who turned out to be Li Shen waved his hand dismissively as the portal shrunk."Bah! What can you lot do, and who would come back in that hell hole?”But after saying that, Li Shen looked at them with a smile before hurriedly saying.“Hey, Golem 1, tell the tree guardian in the west region I said thanks for e

Time is a river that constantly flows.Before Li Shen knew it, almost three years had passed since his fourteenth birthday.And he had been quite busy during those years, especially since the sudden turmoil caused by the missing Hidden Fragmented Realm.Inside the Inner Academy, on the Sword Pavilion Mountain. A new courtyard was built to signal the forming of a new Faction.Not many people paid attention to it when it was first built.But over the coming months and years since it was established, it gained a mysterious reputation among the Sword Pavilion disciples.It wasn’t because of the fact that the Faction Leader was the infamous Second Prince, but because of weird events that took place in the mornings and evenings.Disciples could be seen leaving and exiting this courtyard, but they weren’t considered the Factions members. It wasn’t that big of a deal at first, but when those disciples start gaining recognition for their rapid improvement in cultivation, everyone’s eyes starte
