Xiao Tian closed his eyes. “Damn, I need to control my eyes. If this keeps up, I won’t be able to focus on training.”

Their journey on the ship proceeded without significant obstacles, although they had to stop a few times when the ship was intercepted by pirates. However, this ship was filled with martial arts experts, including one of the Elders from the Misty Cloud Sect, who wasn’t just an Earth Realm warrior but a Sky Realm warrior at the fourth rank. The Elder easily dispatched the pirates who tried to block their way.

After months of travel, they finally arrived at the Empire’s center. Daniel, Liu Qingyun, and Shu Hen couldn’t hide their amazement at the grand sight of the Imperial capital. However, to Xiao Tian, the sight was nothing special. He had often been brought to the Empire by his father, so this view was familiar to him.

The Ming Dynasty was much stronger than the She Dynasty, and its Imperial center was more grand and awe-inspiring.

As they disembarked from the ship,

    Seeing Daniel manage to hold his own against his three opponents, the young dark-skinned man felt he couldn't just stand by and watch. "Attack together! He's only a first rank. No matter how strong his fighting skills are, he will tire out over time."The dark-skinned youth pulled out a pair of iron gloves, his weapon of choice, different from other warriors who typically used swords.*Tssut—*The three other warriors quickly joined their comrades who were already attacking. Daniel now faced attacks from two swords coming from the front, while two more came at him from the right and left.With incredible speed, Daniel wielded his sword, his movements graceful as he parried the barrage of incoming sword strikes. However, the sheer number of opponents eventually gave him trouble. From behind, the dark-skinned youth attacked with lightning speed.*BANG!*A hard punch landed on Daniel's back, causing him to wince slightly in pain."You cowardly scoundrel! Since you all intend to kill me,

    After ensuring Daniel’s safe return, Xiao Tian immediately set off again. In his hand was a large amount of gold coins he had obtained from the young black-skinned man earlier. "With this much money," he thought, "it shouldn't be difficult for me to get a quality sword."This time, his destination was the Phoenix Dragon Association, located in the heart of the Empire. Known as the place that provided all the needs of warriors, Xiao Tian was confident he could find a sword that suited his needs there. With a determined stride, he began searching for the way to the association.Meanwhile, Ling Faizhe had arrived at his residence. As soon as he passed through the entrance, an overwhelming sense of nausea struck him. This was the first time he had witnessed such a brutal and merciless murder scene. In front of Xiao Tian and Daniel, Ling Faizhe tried hard to maintain his composure, attempting not to show that he was someone who had just entered the world of martial arts. "Damn," he muttere

    The elders immediately handed over the data of the students participating in the competition after She Xongjan received the complete list of all participants. In a loud voice, She Xongjan invited the participants to enter the Martial Arts Arena."Everyone, gather first," She Xongjan ordered his voice echoing powerfully and reaching everyone in the spectator stands.Xiao Tian and Daniel immediately entered the Martial Arts Arena to gather, with Daniel continuously observing his potential opponents. Only Xiao Tian remained calm and unaffected by the surrounding crowd.When all the participants were in the arena, the elders from Yunlang Valley, Qiantu Sect, and Black Lotus Sect started to appear restless. "Where is Hujian? The event has started, but he hasn't shown up yet," they murmured anxiously. They seemed panicked because the most talented student from their sect hadn't arrived.Meanwhile, Shunyuan kept a sharp eye on Xiao Tian and Daniel. Internally, he cursed, “Damn, those two bra

    She Xongjan announced the next match. “Next up, number 14,” he said with a thunderous voice. Xiao Tian sat calmly, his eyes observing the ongoing battles in front of him. However, his expression reflected boredom. Match after match passed without anything catching his interest.Finally, She Xongjan's voice resounded in the air again. “Number 13, please enter the Martial Arts Arena!”Whoosh—Whoosh—Two figures immediately darted into the centre of the arena. She Xongjan continued, “Ling Faizhe from the Ling Kingdom versus Shaiming from the Endless Valley.”Without hesitation, Shaiming drew his weapon—a silver spear that gleamed sharply under the sun.Buzz—Instantly, Shaiming’s domain became apparent. He, like Ling Faizhe, was a third-ranked Earth King warrior. Ling Faizhe merely snorted coldly as he sensed his opponent's aura. “If you think you’re capable, come forward! There’s no need to show off your strength in front of me,” he said in a mocking tone.Shaming smirked disdainfully,

    Peizhi raised his sword and shouted, "DANCE OF A HUNDRED SWORDS!"A powerful surge of sword energy erupted like a whirlpool, flowing into Peizhi's body. Xiao Tian immediately recognized this technique; it was one that Xing Han had displayed when facing him in the Supreme Sword Sect.Xiao Tian had to admit that Peizhi's technique this time was far stronger than the one Xing Han had shown. However, thanks to his previous experience, Xiao Tian had thoroughly studied this technique and knew its weaknesses.Peizhi glared sharply at Xiao Tian. "Tian, why haven't you drawn your sword yet? Are the two swords on your back just for decoration?"Xiao Tian gave a small smile. "To face you, I don’t need a sword. My bare hands are more than enough!"Peizhi felt his blood boil, the veins on his forehead bulging with uncontrollable anger. "Arrogant! Don’t blame me if I become ruthless!" he shouted at Xiao Tian, who merely responded with a mocking grin.Peizhi didn’t wait any longer; the energy within

    Xiao Tian had proven his abilities beyond everyone’s expectations. Now, admiring gazes were directed at him, especially from the women of the Misty Cloud Sect.Shouxue, Yi Min, and Ershita'er—who usually wore expressions as cold as ice—watched Xiao Tian from a distance.Shouxue whispered to Ershita'er, "Sister, you keep staring at him. Could it be that you’re interested in him?""Sister, don't joke around. Even though he’s strong, he’s still a child, only ten years old. Besides, I’m not interested in thinking about men at my age right now. I must focus on becoming stronger so that our Sect can be more respected, not only in the She Dynasty but across the Continent!" Ershita'er said, turning her face away, no longer looking at Xiao Tian from afar.Yi Min, who stood between them, simply shook her head at Shouxue's behaviour. However, she added, "Sister Shouxue, I feel that the boy named Tian shouldn’t be underestimated. During the previous match, I didn’t see him use any combat techniqu

    After Xing Han conceded and She Xongjan announced the winner, Daniel turned around and began walking away from the Martial Arena.However, before leaving entirely, Daniel paused for a moment and coldly said, "Xing Han, you should be grateful that you only lost one hand. If I hadn't shown mercy, your life could have ended here. So remember, you should thank me for being alive. But I warn you, if you're not satisfied with this outcome, you can challenge me anytime. I'll fight you until your last breath!"Without waiting for Xing Han's response, Daniel leapt and returned to his seat beside Xiao Tian. All eyes in the Spectator Stands were now on the two disciples of the Supreme Sword Sect. No one expected a third-tier sect to win the battle so impressively. The most humiliated in this competition was the Boundless Valley, as they lost three of their representatives on the very first day.She Xongjan, who was hovering in the air, looked around the arena and at everyone present. "Today's ma

    "Damn, this heirloom weapon is quite formidable," Xiao Tian thought as he continued to fight with full concentration. "He’s gaining additional power from his weapon. I can't keep this up. If this continues, it’s only a matter of time before I lose!"Assessing the situation, Xiao Tian realized he had no other choice. With firm resolve, he drew his mysterious rusted sword. However, something strange happened. Unlike before, the sword no longer gave him the usual cold sensation. Instead, the sword now radiated energy into his body, boosting Xiao Tian’s combat abilities to an extraordinary level.As the masked man swung his trident with full force, Xiao Tian leapt high, using the trident as a springboard to jump even higher. In an instant, he launched his ultimate attack."HUNDRED SWORD DANCE!" Xiao Tian's body suddenly split into a hundred figures, similar to a technique once used by Peizhi. However, there was a significant difference—each Xiao Tian figure wielded a sword imbued with two

    Xiao Rui stared sharply. The coldness in his eyes could freeze an ocean. He lifted his chin slightly, looking at Xiao Lian as if she were a tiny ant daring to rebel. "Xiao Lian, I admit, you are more talented than Xiao Wei. Even at the age of nineteen, you have reached the first rank of the Half-God Realm. Your breakthrough from the fourteenth rank of the Grand Saint Realm in just a few months is indeed impressive." Xiao Rui’s tone sounded like praise, but it carried no true admiration. "But remember this well." He continued, his voice growing heavier, a murderous aura slowly enveloping the area. "You are still from a branch family of the Xiao Clan. No matter how high your talent, you are nothing before the core clan." His eyes narrowed. "Never dare to defy me. If you challenge me again, I won’t hesitate to erase you here. Even if you still carry the Xiao Clan name, it means nothing to me." Xiao Lian showed no anger upon hearing Xiao Rui’s arrogant words. Instead, she only

    Xiao Tian’s eyes widened. There were no blockages. No meridian clogs. His body accepted everything perfectly. "Old beast, keep going!" he shouted inwardly. With Leihuo Dashi’s newfound strength, Xiao Tian released the Divine Sacred Vein Source. Wave after wave of pure energy, stronger than all the energy before, flowed into his body. The energy surged violently, flooding through his entire body, strengthening and expanding his dantian, his meridians, and his bodily foundation. BAANG BAANG BAANG BAANG!!! Bursts of energy roared continuously from within him. His cultivation soared. Seventh rank of the Grand Saint Realm. Eighth rank. Ninth rank. Tenth rank. It continued. Eleventh. Twelfth. Thirteenth. Fourteenth. Fifteenth. BOOM!!! A thunderous rumble erupted from Xiao Tian’s body. His dantian expanded instantly, forming a new sea of energy. His body radiated layered lights—gold, purple, red, and blue—creating a magnificent aurora around him. Xiao Tian broke thro

    Xiao Tian’s eyes turned red. His fists clenched tightly, and his body trembled. "Worthy? Do you think I’m some experiment? A toy? I am not a tool to measure worth! I am your child!" Xiao Tian roared, releasing the pain and anger he had buried for years. His roar shook the crystal world, causing fine cracks to appear on the surrounding stones. His fists clenched so tightly that his nails nearly pierced his skin. "If my life is only seen as worthy or unworthy, then I will show the world that I don’t need anyone’s approval!" His body shook violently. Not from weakness. But because his burning resolve ignited every fiber of his soul. Xiao Tian continued roaring as if wanting to destroy all the pain and grief spinning in his mind. Yet, amid that roar, something even more terrifying began to approach. From the darkness surrounding him, shadowy figures emerged. Demons of strange shapes, pitch black with blazing red eyes, began to encircle him. They whispered, their voices seemi

    Xiao Tian continued to explore the vast crystal world. Each step led him to breathtaking sights—crystal valleys, glowing rivers, forests of gem-like trees—all resembling a heavenly world untouched by mortal beings. However, as he passed through a series of natural corridors, his eyes caught something that made him stop. A massive gap opened before him. It wasn’t just an ordinary chamber; its size far surpassed anything he had seen. It was a continent. The continent stretched endlessly, reaching the horizon. But the truly astonishing part wasn’t its vastness. At the center of the continent, there stood a solitary figure. A Qilin—mythical creature of lightning—at a size that defied logic. The Qilin’s body towered like a mountain. Branching horns sprouted wildly from its head, each radiating pure lightning of gold, blue, and purple. Its body was covered in scales that resembled divine steel, yet each scale throbbed as if containing storms ready to erupt at any moment. Its cl

    His figure disappeared behind the hills, leaving the now-empty plaza, though it was still full of traces of extraordinary fortune. While speeding through the sky, Xiao Tian suddenly slowed his movement. His hand moved to clutch his chest, and his expression shifted slightly. There was a faint turbulence spreading from within him. It wasn’t from an ordinary wound, nor an enemy attack, but rather a subtle vibration from his own blood. Leihuo Dashi. Xiao Tian could feel something happening to his bloodline. That spiritual connection could not be denied. "Leihuo Dashi, what’s happening to you?" Xiao Tian asked, his voice not as firm as usual. This time, it was filled with concern. He didn’t even call him ‘old beast’ like he normally would. Leihuo Dashi answered, his tone heavy. "Boy, head west. Sixty thousand miles from here. Something there is calling me nonstop." Without wasting any time, Xiao Tian changed direction. He didn’t ask further questions. In a world like this, tr

    Xiao Tian was surrounded from all directions. The branches of the golden vine shot toward him, sharp like thousands of spears aiming to pierce his body mercilessly.When the branches were only a few inches away from him—BOOM!!!A majestic surge of soul power exploded from Xiao Tian's body, like an invisible storm sweeping across the area.In an instant, the ferocious golden branches froze in place, unable to move any further. The wild power that had threatened moments ago was now halted as if the entire world was holding its breath.Xiao Tian stood calmly at the center of the attack, his eyes coldly watching the trembling vine trapped under his soul pressure."Only possessing strength equivalent to a first-rank Half-God, yet you dare to try to kill me!"His tone was light, yet filled with sharp disdain.Xiao Tian did not immediately destroy the golden vine.Instead, he deliberately kept it restrained, ensuring that no other young cultivators dared to return to the plaza.He shifted h

    Dozens of young cultivators from various powers joined forces, forming a line, and attacked the golden vine with all the strength they could muster. Waves of energy strikes bombarded the plant. Explosion after explosion shook the plaza, and beams of battle techniques shot in every direction. However, no matter how strong their attacks were, the vine remained unyielding. Not a single branch was severed, nor did even a scratch appear on its surface. Instead, the plant grew wilder. Its branches danced through the air like giant whips, sweeping mercilessly in all directions. The attacks of the young cultivators seemed like mere provocations before the fury of the colossal plant. The more they attacked, the fiercer the plant’s retaliation became. While everyone struggled desperately to stay alive, Xiao Tian grew even more excited. He moved swiftly from one point to another, freely gathering Divine Stone Vein Sources, as if the entire plaza belonged to him. His steps were nimble, pr

    As everyone began scattering, searching for the whereabouts of the Divine Stone Vein Sources, Xiao Tian blended into the crowd. His movements were calm and unnoticeable, so no one paid attention to his presence among them. He walked slowly among the young hunters racing for fortune, his sharp eyes observing every movement around him. Every person who successfully found a Divine Stone Vein Source became his target of observation. Xiao Tian watched closely, beginning to recognize patterns and signs indicating the presence of a Divine Stone Vein Source. After clearly understanding the signs, he started moving toward quieter areas, away from the larger crowd. With the help of his Sky Eyes, Xiao Tian could easily see these signs, far more accurately than the other geniuses who still relied on basic instinct. BAANG!!! Xiao Tian struck a small white plant with a precise punch. The plant was not ordinary; it could shift locations very quickly, and not everyone could catch its movements

    Xiao Tian gazed at the four-level fifteen immortal plants now in his hands. The gentle light from the plants seemed to blend with his aura, giving a sense of life to the barren desert where he had stood earlier. He smiled in satisfaction. "It seems there are many treasures in this place. I must not waste them if I want to strengthen my cultivation. After all, my opponent has already reached the second rank of the Half-God Realm. Moreover, he comes from the Core Xiao Clan. His combat power cannot be measured by ordinary standards." Xiao Tian’s divine sense immediately spread in all directions. Layer by layer, he probed the earth, the air, and the surrounding divine energy, searching for traces of the next opportunity. While he was still focused on scanning nearby locations, a powerful tremor shook the world. BOOM!!! A massive explosion shook the air, and the sound of cracking earth echoed far and wide. Xiao Tian furrowed his brows. "That explosion is powerful. This isn't just a
