2025-01-15 21:23:04When Ezra opened his eyes, he found himself lying under a tree. His sword was lying by his side, unsheathed as if he had fallen unconscious from fighting a very fierce battle where he was. Well, this wasn't the truth of the matter but what several people would believe. And it was actually very good for him because they wouldn't get the chance to know of his secret.
"Ezra!" he heard Mira screaming his name very loudly and immediately stood up. He didn't know how much time had passed in the Realm of Nirvana but it was already dark. He could literally see the moon high up in the sky.
I can't imagine time moves very slow in the Realm of Nirvana! Ezra thought within himself as he grabbed his sword and sheath. I mean, I was just fighting Pharez for a couple of minutes and several hours have already passed in the outside world? This is really mysterious and deserves more research...
As he recollected his thoughts he strapped his sword to his side after sheathing it, moving towards the direction of Mira's voice. He could already feel how worried Mira must have been after discovering that he had suddenly gone missing. This made him very much impatient, wanting to reunite with the love of his life immediately.
He immediately hastened his footsteps, walking faster than before as he thought within himself. I have to get to her very quickly so that I would be able to tell her everything that had just happened.
Ezra was still walking when another holographic screen appeared before him, signifying a notification from the Echelon system. He immediately became excited as he began reading what was displayed on the holographic screen.
YOU HAVE OBTAINED THE SWORD OF NIRVANA, AN EBONY ECHELON ABILITY!
When Ezra saw this notification he couldn't help but freeze, his eyes bulging out as if he couldn't believe what he was reading. And that was the absolute truth!
The Ebony Echelon corresponded to the tier five of the Path to Liberation. It stood at the pinnacle of all the other tiers, affecting reality itself. Cultivators here would be able to bend reality according to their will and do whatever they wanted to do!
Hence when Ezra saw that the Sword of Nirvana was actually an ability from the Ebony Echelon, he was very much shocked. This was the most priceless ability at this level because it actually ranked above the other abilities he already had. There was such a big gap between the Sword of Nirvana and his current abilities that the difference between them was like day and night!
"I never expected the Sword of Nirvana's ability to belong to such a high tier," Ezra said to himself. "No wonder I was given such a hard mission. I would have failed if I'd not been more skilled with my abilities and given my all."
When Ezra thought back to Pharez whom he had just decapitated, he couldn't help but feel very bad. It took him a couple of minutes to be able to shake off the feeling of guilt as he kept on yelling at himself that he had to do what he did in order to survive.
SWORD OF NIRVANA: JUST LIKE EVERY SWORDSMAN NEEDS A GREAT SWORD, EVERY SWORD ART NEEDS A GREAT SWORD!
SWORD OF NIRVANA: IT ALLOWS ONE TO BREAK OFF HIS WORLDLY RESTRICTION, ACHIEVING EMPTINESS. USER WOULD BE ABLE TO EXIST IN A STATE WHERE HE CAN NEVER BE AFFECTED BY OTHER ABILITIES WHILE BEING ABLE TO AFFECT THEM
USER WOULD BE ABLE TO KILL WHILE BEING IMMORTAL, SLOW THINGS AROUND HIM WHILE MOVING AT IMMEASURABLE SPEEDS, AND CAUSE THINGS TO LOSE THEIR POWER WHILE BEING INSANELY POWERFUL
WITH JUST A SWING OF THE BLADE, USER CAN BREAK FREE FROM HIS LIMITATIONS TO BECOME AN ARHAT!
...
As Ezra kept on reading the long information about the Sword of Nirvana's ability, he couldn't help but become more excited. This ability appeared very priceless and it was something that he wasn't going to take for granted.
He swiped up the holographic screen, reading more information as he muttered to himself, "A good sword art needs a good sword..."
When he made this statement he stared at the sword in his scabbard. It was a longsword which he had gotten from the Echelon sect back when it had been functioning. This sword was collectively crafted by the best ironsmiths in the Echelon nation with several metals and meteorites. It was way heavier than other swords Ezra had used and stronger as well. With it, he could easily cut through rocks as if he was cleaving through butter.
I don't know if that statement is talking about me needing to get another sword more powerful than this, Ezra thought within himself. Or do I need to get a mystical sword or something?
There were mystical weapons in this world and they were usually forged by a group of very powerful craftsmen with supernatural abilities. These mystical weapons had various terrifying abilities and were always for sale in big markets across all the nations of the world.
There had been several shops selling mystical swords back in Echelon nation but Ezra was without money back then and couldn't get himself one. And now after reading the notifications from the Echelon system, he was feeling a strong sense of regret.
"Why was I broke back then?!" he yelled to himself as he clenched his fists very tightly. "I could have been able to do more with the Sword of Nirvana ability!"
DO YOU WISH TO ACCEPT THE SWORD OF NIRVANA?
What kind of question is this? Ezra thought within himself as he hurriedly said, "Of course!"
SWORD OF NIRVANA HAS BEEN ACCEPTED!
NOTE: DUE TO YOUR CURRENT TIER, YOU CAN ONLY USE THE SWORD OF NIRVANA ONCE IN A WEEK!
Seeing the last notification almost made Ezra cough out a mouthful of blood. But he immediately controlled his great regret because this was a tier-five ability. It was very rare so he was happy to have it!

He immediately ran towards the direction of Mira's voice before answering, "I'm here!"Soon he met Mira who was panting as if she had just finished doing a marathon.

Ezra and Mira returned to the campfire after some minutes, causing the Coachman to be very surprised. This was because they had been looking for Ezra everywhere and now he had been found."Where did you go to?" the Coachman asked. "We all thought something bad had happened to you or you went somewhere far away."Although the Coachman was expressing his concern, Ezra couldn't help but frown slightly as he thought within himself, What kind of person do you see me as? But of course, he didn't say that out loud and instead managed a smile."We would have already reached a far distance now if you had not suddenly gone missing," the Coachman complained. "You got us stuck in one place and if not for your wife here I would have already left."My wife? Ezra's face turned pale when he heard the Coachman address Mira as his wife. He almost yelled that Mira wasn't his wife and was just his companion but resisted the impulse. He had to act manly even though the situation was very awkward.Mira on

He couldn't believe his eyes when he saw that it was morning already. He had just closed his eyes to meditate for some minutes only for it to be morning already. How did time manage to move so fast when he was meditating?"Good morning," Mira said again with a smile. "I can see the surprise on your face, showing that you had begun meditating a long time ago.""Morning," Ezra said as he stood up. "It was dawn when I began meditating. I didn't expect that time would move so fast.""Then you're really go

It was already late in the afternoon but Ezra and Mira could not still find an inn where they would rest their weary heads, making them feel very frustrated. When they had first entered the village, they had thought it would be very small but they were proven wrong immediately. The village was very large, almost as large as a town with several buildings. And to make matters worse there was a large number of people going about their daily businesses. It was as if people from different walks of life had all piled up here after living their lives to the fullest."I'm already very tired and need to eat," Mira complained. "I'm not like you who can go on walking for hours without feeling hungry or tired.""It's all thanks to my system," Ezra replied immediately. "But that doesn't mean I'm a god. I can still go hungry and tired."Mira chuckled but didn't retort him. Instead, she playfully stared at him before saying, "Let's find a restaurant where we can eat. We've already run out of supplie

She then looked around and saw that everyone had suddenly become engrossed in their dishes. No one was chatting again or paying attention to their environment. It was as if suddenly had been pressed over their heads to make them behave that way."Those guys look like bad people," Mira said as she looked at the group of men who had finally gotten to the counter.

Ezra who saw all this didn't even say anything as he continued eating. This was because this was the kind of training he had in mind for Mira to undergo so that she would be experienced. It was one thing training constantly and it was another thing getting into real battle. And now was the real chance for her to experience what a real battle was!"You little scum!" the leader of the gang yelled as he glared at Mira. "How dare you beat up one of my men?"Mira who was already standing wasn't the least bit afraid as she said, "If you don't turn back right now then I'm going to beat the whole lot of you!"She said this so loud that everyone in the restaurant heard her.

Ezra Echelon Liberation System Chapter 1: Four Sect
The Council was enormous, and every time Ezra entered its vast halls, he felt a wave of awe wash over him. The Council Hall, hewn from the ancient white cliffs, was like the heart of the continent, where all power, authority, and tradition came together. The ceilings soared high above, adorned with detailed murals that told the stories of the Four Sects. Sunlight streamed through narrow, stained-glass windows, creating colorful patterns on the marble floors. As Ezra strolled down the hallway, the sound of his footsteps mingled with those of the guards, his tutors, and the quiet maids trailing behind him. Ezra found himself at the center of this little group, his eyes wandering to take in every detail of the hall. Tall banners lined the walls, each one representing one of the Four. The striking emerald green emblem of the Echelon sect stood out the most—a tree with branches that seemed to reach endlessly. It was displayed at every entrance, a constant reminder of the values the sect

Chapter 14: Mission Accomplished
Pharez clenched his broadsword with both of his hands as he screamed very loudly, discharging large amounts of Qi into the surroundings. The trees swayed as their branches snapped, leaves flying here and there as puffs of dust rose high into the air. All the grasses around was swept into the air, clogging up the whole atmosphere so that visibility was reduced by a very great margin.I don't know what this guy's abilities are, Ezra thought as he observed the situation. On one hand, he uses explosive strength, which can weaken my Aegis of Dissonance, and on the other hand, he can manipulate qi better than anybody I've ever fought. This is like nothing I've ever seen before. This is true power, and I'm going to give it my all if I'm to win this!"Die you scum!" Pharez yelled in such a loud voice that thundered across the atmosphere, causing everywhere to seemingly shake as if an earthquake had just occurred. The sound was amplified by a very big margin, causing Ezra to be suddenly affect
