“What did he say?”Turning away from his jade slip in hand, Jun looked to Li Shen and replied.“Master, senior disciple brother said he’ll meet us at the Celestial Academy’s valley entrance.”Li Shen nodded before he continue to walk.They were heading down the Sword Pavilion mountain to leave the Academy for their new mission.The academy itself hadn’t changed much since Li Shen was here, and that was normal since the passage of time to cultivators isn’t the same as mortals. Three years was long to them, but to cultivators who could live for over a hundred years at the bare minimum, it was a small drop in the bucket.However, even though the academy hadn’t changed, the disciples sure have.As Li Shen took his time to walk through the Inner Academy, numerous disciples could weirdly be seen without a pair of shoes.He also passed a few stands that had someone yelling what they were selling, and to what that is was even stranger.“Custom-made statues of our number one sensation the Shoe

“Look over there, some people are fighting!”“Who are they? I can even feel their battle’s shock-waves from over here.”Disciples watching in the distance exclaimed in surprise.“Hey, I think I saw the Second Prince in that Spirit Artifact!”“What, really?! Then does that mean another victim showed up? Now I feel bad for that person.”“I wonder who took care of it this time?”“I don’t know, maybe it was Blade Demon Mu Fan?”“What I would kill to see Goddess Lihua fight, I heard she fought a spy that infiltrated the Divine Sword Music Faction yesterday.”"Yeah, I wonder what that academy will do about that..."As the disciple talked among themselves some distance away, back to where the battle took place, Suyan landed on the ground with a loud bang. He coughed out a mouth full of blood as he rolled onto his side.He struggled to look through his swimming vision as the boat shot off into the distance.“S-Spear Intent. That was Spear Intent.”Suyan felt utterly shocked in his heart.Why

It was already morning as the sun rose from the horizon to bathe the main Mercenary Guild Association main branch in a golden hue.It was located in a city of its own, and from here all the branches around the Maple Continent take their orders.Aside from the Imperial City, it was the most highlighted city on the Continent, with individuals from powerful families casually roaming the streets.Disciples from various academies could be seen as well, especially coming and going from the ginormous supposed thirty-floor Mercenary Association building.The bustling noise was on a high as hundreds of them chattering could be heard. However, that chattering at the entrance slowly faded away as a tall figure in a featureless mask slowly floated down from the air.His bare feet touched the ground and instantly, the staring disciples all cleared a path to the large double door entrance.Without pausing the figure calmly walked forward.Whispers echoed from the crowd.“No way, that’s the Faceless

‘Why does that sound like he can see me using Power of the World?’Li Shen hadn’t stopped strengthening his connection with the earth beneath him as he realize that the technique helps him comprehend the Earth's Laws a bit faster than normal.But this wasn’t a technique that anyone can detect or see through, only someone with a high affinity with the earth element could do that. Someone on par with a Heaven’s Chosen affinity for Heavenly Laws.Someone like him.Remembering what his father had told him about Huifen comprehending a none elemental Law, the Laws of Gravity, he was starting to understand how that came to be.“You don’t look surprised by that fact.”Huifen said when he saw Li Shen’s mild reaction.Li Shen gave him a smile but secretly thought in his heart.‘In this era, such aptitude would make one a top talent, but to me, you're just slightly different from everyone else.’This wasn’t him being arrogant, in fact, he acknowledge that Huifen was unique, but if anyone else ha

Li Shen was topless in his room that was filled with runes on its walls. He was seated in a cross-legged position while his brows were furrowed evident that he was displeased by something.His eyes soon opened and irritation suddenly began pouring out in waves.“Are you going to continue this ridiculous tantrum?”As Li Shen said that his Seven Sin’s Plum Blossom appeared on his forehead.Around it was the ring of black fire, but in addition, was a rune in the form of a five-star point that seem to be holding the plum blossom in place.However, it seemed to be fighting back.“I only used your power a little no need to go crazy.”Li Shen then lifted his finger and pressed it against his forehead.As the rune’s strength increased the struggle of the Seven Sins Plum Blossom weakened until it stop overall.A sort of depressing feeling radiated from the plum blossom and Li Shen sensed this and huffed.“Stop your whining, you’ll get no sympathy from this cold callous heart of mine.”After su
