The atmosphere around the Ancient Tomb Ruins turned into a field of intense tension. The auras of experts from various clans and sects mingled, creating a pressure so heavy that it made the air feel suffocating.

Zhi Hao and his group stood at a strategic distance—not too close but positioned well enough to observe every move of their competitors. Ling Xue’s keen eyes scanned the surroundings, her hand reflexively resting on the hilt of her sword.

“Entering the crowd now would draw too much attention,” whispered Black 3. “We should wait for the right moment.”

However, Zhi Hao raised his hand, signaling them to stay alert but avoid rash actions. “No need to rush. Let the impatient ones clear the path. If we go in first, we’ll only make ourselves targets.”

On the other side, Huai Cheng stepped forward confidently, disregarding the disdainful glances from other Young Masters. Backed by five Earth King Realm experts, his demeanor was unshakable.

“The path is open,” Huai Cheng declared loud

    Zhi Hao glanced behind, ensuring his group stayed together. "Stay alert. This place might not be as straightforward as it seems."Ahead, the corridor split into two paths. Zhi Hao’s Dragon Perception revealed that one led closer to the center of a powerful energy, while the other was shrouded in an aura of danger.“We’ll take the left,” Zhi Hao said firmly. “The energy there feels more stable.”The group followed his lead, moving cautiously but swiftly. The sounds of battle from the main path grew fainter, replaced by an oppressive silence.At the end of the corridor, they found a massive door adorned with carvings of a dragon and a phoenix, glowing faintly in the darkness. The ancient aura emanating from the door was so overwhelming that Ling Xue shivered.“This is our destination,” Zhi Hao said, his voice full of certainty. “Prepare yourselves. Whatever lies beyond this door is either immensely valuable or extremely dangerous.”Zhi Hao stood before the door, his eyes scanning the in

    The tension in the chamber thickened as Zhi Hao's group remained on high alert. Meanwhile, Huai Cheng and his guards approached the altar confidently. The oppressive aura from both sides clashed, saturating the air with palpable tension.Zhi Hao gave Ling Xue and Black 3 a subtle signal to stay vigilant. Qianlong whispered again in his mind.“Let them go first. Their arrogance is their downfall. If the trap is triggered, you'll have a chance to act.”Huai Cheng stopped in front of the altar, staring at the glowing orb with greedy eyes. “A pure energy core… This must be a treasure capable of altering anyone’s destiny. With this, the Huai Clan will rise even further in the cultivation world.”One of his guards, a burly man wielding a massive sword, hesitated as he approached the altar. “Young Master, this energy feels overwhelming. I recommend studying the formation first.”Huai Cheng shook his head. “You're overthinking it. If we delay, they”—he cast a disdainful glance at Zhi Hao—“mig

    Zhi Hao and his group emerged from the main chamber, panting heavily. The sound of collapsing rubble echoed behind them, like a final warning from the ancient place. However, their relief was short-lived.The corridor they had entered suddenly branched into several paths, each shrouded in a faint golden mist radiating an enigmatic aura.“What is this?” Black 3 muttered, narrowing his eyes as he tried to pierce through the mist.Ling Xue, standing beside him, examined the surrounding energy carefully. “This isn’t an ordinary corridor. The energy here... it feels like a spatial formation. If we choose the wrong path, we might never return.”Qianlong’s voice resonated in Zhi Hao’s mind, sounding more serious than ever.“This is the Trial of Divided Fate. Each path leads to a different destiny. If you choose wisely, you’ll find the core of this Tomb. But if you’re reckless, you’ll be lost forever.”Zhi Hao took a deep breath, trying to remain calm under the mounting pressure. Activating h

    The grand hall was filled with an oppressive silence. The dragon and phoenix carvings on the walls seemed alive, as if they were observing every move made by Zhi Hao's group. Though they had endured the grueling trials of the separating corridor, the atmosphere here offered no respite.Zhi Hao gazed at the black sword in his hand. The blade appeared simple, unadorned by any extravagant embellishments. Yet its energy felt dense, as if it harbored a power capable of destroying anything.Ling Xue approached, her eyes fixed on the sword. “That sword… Are you sure about your decision?”Zhi Hao nodded firmly. “This isn’t about right or wrong. It’s about taking control of my destiny. This sword symbolizes my path.”Black 3 interjected, his gaze sharp. “So, what’s our next move? This place clearly holds more mysteries.”Before Zhi Hao could answer, the floor beneath them trembled slightly. A bright light emerged from the center of the hall, forming a teleportation circle etched with dragon an

    The Dragon and Phoenix Palace stood majestically before them. Its grandeur was awe-inspiring, but the heavy aura emanating from within reminded Zhi Hao and his group that this was no ordinary palace. An ancient power resided here, waiting to test them.As they stepped inside, the grand main hall greeted them. At its center stood a massive altar, glowing with a dazzling golden light. Atop the altar rested a large golden crystal, radiating a searing heat that enveloped the entire room.“The Solar Crystal,” Ling Xue whispered, her eyes sparkling with awe. “This must be the core of this Tomb.”Black 3 stepped forward, but Zhi Hao quickly raised a hand to stop him. “Don’t act recklessly. This place is undoubtedly protected.”Qianlong’s voice echoed in his mind. “Indeed. The Solar Crystal is an artifact of immense power. Approaching it without completing the final trial will only bring destruction.”As if in response to this warning, the walls around them began to glow. The images of dragon

    The morning breeze gently brushed Zhi Hao’s face, carrying the fresh scent of dew—a gift after a long and grueling journey. They had emerged from the Tomb of the Dragon and Phoenix, but the sense of relief lasted only a moment. Zhi Hao knew their struggles were far from over.The Solar Crystal in his grasp radiated a peculiar warmth, as if it were alive. Its aura felt like waves of power constantly flowing into his body. Ling Xue and the others stared at it with mixed expressions—admiration, weariness, and curiosity mingled in their gazes.“You know this will bring trouble, don’t you?” Ling Xue’s soft but concerned voice broke the silence.Zhi Hao nodded without hesitation. “I know. But this isn’t something we can just ignore. It’s far too valuable to fall into the wrong hands.”Black 3 stepped closer, scanning their surroundings. “I doubt this is over. If Young Master Huai made it out alive, he’ll surely come after us.”“He’ll make it out,” Black 4 said flatly. “People like him have

    Black 3 and Black 4 had cornered their two opponents. With perfect coordination, they attacked simultaneously, creating pressure their enemies couldn’t withstand. One enemy fell after the combined strike of Black 3's "Shadow Strike" and Black 4's "Thunderous Blow" smashed into his chest.Ling Xue, supporting from the rear, saw the enemy's defenses weakening. She created an even larger ice spear and hurled it at the last enemy attempting to escape. The spear struck the ground in front of him, sending a wave of frost that froze him in place, rendering him immobile.Zhi Hao noticed the battle was nearly over. Gathering all his strength into his Black Sword, he unleashed a crescent-shaped dark energy slash that sped toward the enemy leader.The leader attempted to block the attack, but his spear couldn’t withstand the full power of the strike. The weapon snapped in two, and the energy wave slammed into his body, throwing him several meters backward.The leader staggered to his feet, his f

    Clang!Black 3’s sword clashed against the spear of his opponent, sparks flying from the impact. “Too slow!” he taunted, spinning and driving his knee into the enemy’s stomach, sending him sprawling to the ground.On the other side, Black 4 charged forward, his fists colliding with his opponent’s shield in a thunderous blow.Bang!The force of the punch shattered the ground beneath them, forcing the enemy to stagger backward.Standing at the rear, Ling Xue’s expression was cold as ice. With a wave of her hand, she summoned a rain of ice spears that shot toward two of her enemies.Swish! Swish! Swish!The spears struck the ground, erupting into frozen explosions that froze everything within their reach. One of her enemies tried to escape, but a spear pierced his leg, rooting him in place.Meanwhile, Zhi Hao faced the woman with the purple sword.Clang!Clang!

    "Do you all remember how Master once spoke about the Son of Fortune? Someone who, despite starting from hardship, can reach the pinnacle of power and reshape the world," he said, his voice calm yet firm. "Zhi Hao, having achieved the Seventh-Star Earth King Realm at such a young age, is the true manifestation of what we have long suspected."The silver-haired old man, who had been silently listening, nodded slowly. "History has always recorded that every Son of Fortune walks a path filled with trials. However, what sets Zhi Hao apart is the technique he once used—a technique strikingly similar to the one Master wielded before his disappearance. This is no coincidence; it is fate, written long ago."The woman in a deep red veil cast a sharp gaze at the others. "We have two choices before us. First, we approach him as a mentor. By gradually guiding him, we can not only master his techniques but also use him to achieve our goals. Second, we capture him and seize the Heaven-Shattering Cod

    The atmosphere on the battlefield remained tense, even though the battle had officially ended. Dust and smoke still lingered, creating a thin haze that enveloped the area. The cheers of victory from Zhi Hao’s group began to subside, replaced by an expectant silence. Huo Lang lay on the ground, his breath ragged, while Zhi Hao stood tall, gazing at him with a meaningful expression.The Tournament Chairman, who had declared Zhi Hao the winner, stepped forward to the center of the battlefield. His face was firm, yet there was a hint of relief in his eyes. The battle had drained much energy and caused significant destruction. Raising his hand, he signaled to the spectators and other participants to remain calm."This battle is over," he announced in a loud voice that echoed throughout the arena. "Zhi Hao has proven his strength and determination. However, this is not the end. There are still many challenges ahead in this tournament."Zhi Hao nodded slowly, absorbing the Chairman’s words.

    The dust slowly settled, leaving destruction across the battlefield. The massive trees that once stood tall were now toppled, and parts of the earth were torn apart from the massive explosion that had just occurred. The wind and fire still raged, though their intensity began to wane. The rumble and explosion that shook the ground could still be heard, spreading throughout the forest. Huo Lang and Zhi Hao stood, each breathing heavily, yet their bodies were still full of determination."So, this is your limit?" Huo Lang said with a wide grin, despite the wounds on his body that were beginning to show. The fire surrounding him was almost fading, but his aura of power still felt intimidating, like a flame that refused to die out.Zhi Hao did not answer, only glaring sharply at Huo Lang. The star energy within his body grew denser, emitting a silver glow. Though exhaustion was becoming evident on his face, Zhi Hao knew this was the decisive battle—not only for him but for his team and the

    The thick mist of the Poisonous Shadow Forest swirled slowly, enveloping towering ancient trees. The rustling of leaves and the whispers of unseen creatures echoed faintly, as if warning of an impending threat. Amidst this eerie atmosphere, Zhi Hao’s group continued to move forward, maintaining a tight formation."Stop," Li Mei whispered, her eyes narrowing as she observed something in the distance. She raised her hand, signaling everyone to remain silent. "Something’s moving… around us."Jian tightened his grip on his long weapon, his posture tense. "They’re surrounding us from three directions. Their numbers… are many."Zhi Hao narrowed his eyes, channeling starlight energy into them, causing a faint silver glow. With his star vision, he could see shadowy figures darting between the trees, circling them. "Shadow wolves," he muttered. "There are more than ten. They hunt in packs, waiting for the perfect moment to strike."Shui Lian raised her right hand, the air around her rapidly co

    After Zhi Hao and Huo Lang crossed the finish line, the crowd's cheers filled the arena. Yet, the rivalry was far from over. From behind a sudden mist of ice, Shui Lian stepped out calmly. Her body was surrounded by shimmering ice crystals that froze every last obstacle in her path. With an elegant movement, she raised her hand, creating an ice staircase that led her straight to the top of the final wall of thorns. As her feet touched the ground at the finish line, the ice shattered into fine particles that vanished into the air."Third participant: Shui Lian!" the Head of the Committee shouted, his face full of admiration. "Amazing! You three are truly exceptional!"Behind them, other participants struggled desperately. A large-built man collapsed before the fragile bridge, his hands scratched by poisonous thorns. "I... I can't..." his body trembled before passing out, dragged away by the medical team. Some other participants fought dirty, using hidden weapons to hinder their rivals,

    The selection continued with various unique talents dazzling the spectators. However, many failed to demonstrate their potential and had to accept the reality that their journey ended here.As the last participant finished, the Head of the Committee stood on the stage once more, his gaze sweeping over the remaining contestants. "The first stage, the Unique Talent Test, is over! Congratulations to those who passed."With a wave of his hand, a massive board appeared in the sky, displaying the names of those who advanced to the next round. At the top of the list were Zhi Hao, Huo Lang, and Shui Lian, a testament to their exceptional performances."Tomorrow, we will proceed to the second stage, the Test of Physical Strength! Prepare yourselves, for this is no ordinary trial. You will face brutal obstacles designed to test the limits of your power."Cheers erupted once more, though tension and anticipation heavily tinged them. Every participant knew that the next test would be far more cha

Thousands of participants gathered in the main square, their eyes fixed on the stage with anticipation and caution. They knew that this Preliminary Selection was the first step in determining their fate before the five great sects.Zhi Hao stood among the crowd, flanked by Xiao Han and Ling Xue. A silver badge with the number 27 was pinned to his chest. He took a deep breath, calming his mind before facing the first test.Xiao Han nudged his shoulder. "Don't be too tense. This Preliminary Selection usually tests your talent and basic abilities. As long as you show your potential, you’ll surely pass."Ling Xue added, "The key is to stay focused and not rush. You need to control your power wisely."Zhi Hao nodded confidently. "I understand. I won't waste this opportunity."Suddenly, a trumpet blast echoed throughout the square.

    The night passed peacefully without any disturbances. The next morning, Xiao Han took Zhi Hao and his group to register for the New Disciples Tournament, which would determine their future paths."Xiao Han, can you explain to me which major sects will be watching and evaluating, and what are the main requirements to be chosen by them?" Zhi Hao asked.Xiao Han nodded with a slight smile. "Of course. Sky Stone City is the center of experts and major sects in the Nine Star Earth Realm. This New Disciples Tournament is a rare opportunity to showcase your talent and power before them. There are five main sects that will be present and evaluating the participants of this tournament."He raised his fingers, counting them one by one:"The first is Blue Sky Sect – They are known as masters of sword techniques and wind manipulation. They seek disciples with sharp combat instincts and extraordinary speed. They value agility and intelligence in battle.""Second is Blazing Torch Valley, known for

    The room grew colder, their breaths forming mist in the air. Dark shadows crept from the corners of the temple, slowly but surely surrounding them.Ling Xue swung her sword, creating an icy wall around them. Yet, the ice began to crack the moment the shadows touched it."These shadows are devouring spiritual energy," Ling Xue exclaimed, her eyes narrowing. "We need to finish this trial quickly, or we'll be drained completely."Zhi Hao stood in the center of the Dipper’s light circle, staring at seven glowing star points on the floor. "Navigate the light and find the path to the North Star... But how?"Xiao Han examined the star formation closely. "The Dipper is a guiding constellation. In ancient astronomy, the end of the Dipper always points to the North Star."Zhi Hao nodded. "That means we have to connect these points to find the direction."He raised Qianlong, and the sword began to glow with golden light. As if understanding its master’s intent, Qianlong emitted a beam that conne
