Ethan held his breath and listened attentively.

"When a human Ascending to the Peak cultivator's Mind Lamp does not extinguish, it means they have achieved immortality. At this stage, they are comparable to a terrestrial immortal and can easily slaughter tens of thousands of ordinary people with a flip of the hand. However, to advance their cultivation, Ascending to the Peak cultivators need to comprehend their Imagery!"

"What is Imagery?" Ethan quickly asked.

"Imagery are the prototypes of rules. For example, the Imagery of forgetting oneself contains traces of the time rule, while the Imagery of slaughter contains remnants of the destruction rule. Comprehending one Imagery makes you an 'Imagery Level' expert. Comprehending two Imageries also makes you a high-level master of the Imagery realm. In ancient times, there were even some who comprehended three Imageries, but those who could grasp three were either peerless monsters or madmen, extremely rare even in ancient times."

"Why?" E

    Ethan remained silent and unmoving.Azure Myst suddenly smiled and waved his hand. Ethan's body flew uncontrollably towards the blood-colored teleportation array."Ethan, take good care of the girl who came here with you if you get the chance," Azure Myst's voice echoed from afar.Take care of Jasmine? Could Azure Myst and Jasmine have some kind of connection, for him to specially entrust this to me before leaving? Ethan was slightly stunned, but at this moment, the blood-colored teleportation array suddenly erupted with a powerful suction force, pulling Ethan directly into it.Ethan was shocked. Instantly, he felt like his whole body was being wrenched apart by the immense suction, his flesh momentarily deforming and warping. In a flash, his vision went black as he plunged into endless void."Ethan, I hope you don't disappoint me... If fate allows, let us meet again..." Azure Myst watched the direction Ethan disappeared in, his back straight, voice low and echoless.A while later, A

    Ethan began asking around Hampshire County's main street while wearing a black veil conical hat, inquiring at every remotely famous pharmacy in the county to no avail.The alchemists running the pharmacies on the street could concoct some simple, low-level pills like Fasting Pills and Concentration Elixirs. But when it came to dragon blood, their expressions changed. Not only could they not refine it, they hadn't even seen it before.In a flash, over half a month passed and anxiety rose in Ethan's heart. The date when Beyond Heaven's members had to return to their independent space every two years was drawing near.Since Ethan and Maxwell were from the same batch of assassins, their return dates to the Beyond Heaven space shouldn't differ too much. So the space was the best place to meet.Otherwise, trying to find Maxwell in the vast Continent of Chaos would be searching for a needle in a haystack.Around noon, the Inn of Homecoming in Hampshire County.As always, the occupancy rate i

    Chaos erupted outside the doors of the inn as San Yang stormed forward, brutishly pushing aside any who stood in his path.Resentment flickered across the faces of many, but one glance back at the insignia on San Yang's armor was enough to dispel their ire. The courtyard was filled with those who recognized him—San Yang, leader of the Martin family's occupying forces in Hampshire County.Two factions divided dominion here: the Martins and the Qins. Though the Qins had risen in recent years, the Martins still held sway, their control evidenced by the soldiers they had installed."Why is San Yang barreling in here in such a fury? He must be after someone," the onlookers murmured."No doubt. Poor fool who dared offend the Martins," another spectator chuckled grimly.Milling about the streets, the crowds swiftly swelled as word of the commotion at The Inn of Homecoming spread.The innkeeper's round face was creased with bitterness. Of all his unwanted guests, few were more troublesome tha

    Activating The Eight Mystical Metamorphoses, three identical copies of Ethan materialized before the inn, each wearing the Heaven-Breaking Boxing Set with cold eyes. They charged the six guest officials in unison.With his meridians unlocked, Ethan's speed now far exceeded even mid-stage Bone Sacrifice experts. His blurring fists found their marks before his opponents could react.Crunch. Thud. Seizing one early-stage cultivator, Ethan landed two lightning-quick punches, caving in the man's chest and pulverizing his bones. Blood spewed as the cultivator tumbled into the street beside the inn, his life surely at an end.Without the Moon-Slashing Saber, the Heaven-Breaking Boxing Set made Ethan even more formidable, ideal for group combat. As a rare mid-grade spiritual weapon with special amplification properties, the quality of his new armaments could not be understated. Having the right tools for the task was crucial; mid-grade weapons like these were scarce even among late-stage Bone

    Though Blood Demon Technique had yet to advance since opening his meridians, the blood mists seemed denser and more expansive, enveloping the five Martin experts within dozens of yards."What sorcery is this?" The brow-scarred cultivator sensed a faint stagnation in his inner force, hampering his energy circulation. The effect was subtle, but concerning.In that moment, Terry Martin also dove from the void straight for Ethan, as Kenneth Martin split off, swooping down with a twisted grin. Amanda immediately fled far from the coming battle, watching anxiously from a rooftop hundreds of yards away."Villain! There's nowhere for you to run now!" she shrieked vengefully. In a blink, Ethan felt a fierce, freezing blade energy cleaving toward his back as Terry closed the hundred-yard gap between them.With his clones depleted for now, facing seven Bone Sacrifice masters alone weighed heavily on Ethan. He hesitated no longer, drawing out the Azure Dragon Shard.Whoosh. Twisting aside, Ethan

    Terry took flight, rocketing hundreds of yards into the sky at top speed as he desperately fled the scene.Still, countless eyes below watched in shock, but Terry couldn't afford to care. Though Ethan was merely at the peak of Meridian Training, something about him chilled Terry to the core.It wasn't just his astounding recovery abilities or speed, but those ominous black bottles Ethan had revealed at the end. Terry couldn't be certain if he had more, and refused to take the risk!"The Martin elder himself has fled...""Just who is this man to force even Terry into retreat?""With one strike, an assassin's skills prove formidable indeed. No telling which organization he hails from..."Hovering invisibly overhead, Lawrence observed the battle with interest. "Truly powerful to overwhelm even that old crone Terry..."On a distant rooftop, Amanda's face was ghostly pale, mind buzzing in shock. In a daze, she suddenly came to her senses—with a shriek, the disheveled woman fled barefoot in

    One month later.Heavenly State, Eternal Waters County.Situated in the north of Heavenly State bordering the Extreme North Icefield, Eternal Waters County was a mid-sized region.Unlike its typical tranquility, today the county bustled with activity as countless cultivators and mortals from all over flooded in, converging before an elegant manor on the northern edge.Occupying about a square mile, the manor was nestled against the mountains with pavilions and gardens exuding refined taste. The faint aroma of medicine mingled with the soothing tones of a zither, immediately imparting a sense of serenity to visitors.With the gates thrown open, people steadily filed in until the manor grounds overflowed, the line extending beyond the high walls. Most were youths aged fifteen to twenty, male and female, with nary a Swords Sect disciple among them.It was common knowledge that today was the day Grandmaster Alchemist Stone Three would take on a named disciple. Though eager to curry favor,

    Resentment flickered across the remaining two thousand faces, but with the black-robed man's profound cultivation before them, none dared protest. Reluctantly they began dispersing until the once packed manor stood empty, all save one figure.A grey-robed youth with chiseled features stood calmly amidst the departing crowds. Though not remarkably handsome, an innate gravitas emanated from his composed frame."Who are you?" the black-robed man demanded sharply."Greetings, senior. This junior is named Ethan, and comes seeking..." Ethan bowed politely, only to be abruptly cut off."I've no interest in your story. Begone!" The man glanced at Ethan dismissively."Senior, please let me explain—" Ethan frowned."Need I repeat myself a third time?" A icy glint flashed through the man's eyes. Ethan quickly replied, "Senior, I've come for medicine!"The man paused, then smiled coldly. "Many come daily begging my master for remedies. Do you have a referral?""Referral?" Ethan started, not havi

    Juan Baker flipped his right hand and a pitch-black spear appeared.Ethan's gaze had been fixed on Juan Baker and his son the entire time. The instant Juan moved, Ethan realized his intent."You despicable old codger! Don't you dare!" Ethan was so shocked he nearly jumped out of his skin. If Juan Baker had targeted Ethan himself, he wouldn't have batted an eyelid no matter how powerful his opponent was. After all, Ethan's mental resilience was beyond ordinary and with the ancient Azure Dragon's restorative abilities, conventional attacks posed no threat.But for Juan Baker to make a move against Lily was going too far! And it just so happened to be Ethan's Achilles heel!Juan Baker gave a cold smile. Without hesitation, he whipped his right hand down to hurl the spear!At the same time, Ethan sped towards Lily as swiftly as he could.Originally two hundred yards separated Ethan and Lily, but in this life-or-death moment, he seemed even faster than usual. Incredibly, he managed to rus

    "Ethan, do you really think you can bully the Baker family so easily?" Juan Baker's face was ashen, utterly humiliated in front of all the major families of Mistwood County. Having his future son-in-law killed and his guest official beheaded right in front of everyone, how could the Baker family continue to hold their standing in Mistwood County if they did not regain some face?Ethan's expression was impassive as his gaze swept over the core members of the Baker family present in the grand hall. Of them all, only four gave him slight pause.Including Juan Baker and his third son Ralph Baker, there were just five Bone Sacrifice practitioners. And now, only four remained after Ethan's handiwork. Such a force was inferior even compared to the Martin family of Hampshire County. Ethan had no patience for idle chatter. He immediately unleashed the Eight Mystical Metamorphoses, his original form and his clone charging at Juan Baker in unison.Speed was paramount. Ethan was currently only a

    In the hall, all the "dignitaries" like Anna Patterson and Allan Long watched Ethan and Maxwell with odd expressions, clearly sensing their malicious intent. Yet no one had expected someone to actually crash the Baker family's joyous occasion.For rivals like Anna Patterson, nothing would be better than ruining the Baker family's big day, or even causing their total downfall. So for the moment, all was silent as they waited to see what would unfold.An eerie quiet. Joseph closed his eyes regretfully. He knew of the feelings between his daughter and Ethan, and rather approved of the boy. But his arrival was just too late, and the timing was wrong...After over seven years, Ethan's appearance had changed somewhat, but Charles still recognized him and kept signaling urgently for Ethan to leave quickly.Ethan ignored him completely, back ramrod straight, eyes empty of emotion as he scanned the Baker crowd.Beside him, Maxwell loomed tall and bulky, standing out in the crowd like a crane

    "You...you..." Joseph was nearing eighty. Such provocation was too much for him and his face flushed crimson as he gasped for breath."Father!" Charles hurriedly supported Joseph, gently patting his back to help him calm down. "Grandfather!" Lily's hair was disheveled, tears instantly filling her eyes....The eighth day of the twelfth lunar month was an auspicious date, at least for the millions of ordinary folk in Mistwood County.Everyone knew this was the joyous wedding day of the Baker family's third young master. Though he already had two wives and concubines, how eminent was the Baker family? The undisputed overlord of Mistwood County, even lording over nearby counties--their might was undisputed.The Baker family was worthy of being called the overlords of Mistwood County. Their extravagant welcoming convoy stretched over fifteen miles, handing out large festive cash gifts to all they met--not just any gifts either, but ten taels of silver per person!Many eyed the money cove

    "Two celestial beings..." Lily's lovely face paled and she instinctively drew closer to the ice sculpture.The loud commotion also woke the just-risen Charles, Joseph and the rest. Soon--The main hall doors opened and the Joseph family streamed out, from Charles and Joseph down to the servants, staring curiously at the Baker entourage and the glittering array of treasures before them.Many had never seen such wealth in their lives! Just the gold ingots alone filled three huge chests. That was not even counting the obviously expensive jewelry and other gifts.Filling chests with gold ingots--how rich did one have to be?Likely enough...to buy half the streets in Stone Town!Joseph's brows twitched slightly. "Young Master Baker, what is the meaning of this?"It was normal to offer betrothal gifts, but gifts of such extravagance were no ordinary matter. Despite his advanced years, Joseph's eyesight remained sharp. He knew well the sheer quantity of gold, silver and jewels laid out befor

    Lily gazed at the ice sculpture, lost in thought, barely registering her father's words.Charles stepped forward and sat down cross-legged beside his daughter. "Speaking of that Ethan boy, he really is pitiable. Losing his parents early, and his only grandfather murdered too. Seven years ago he finally avenged his grandfather by killing Caleb, but then got taken away by some mysterious youth. No word since--such a shame."He sighed regretfully. The image of that teenager chopping wood behind their hill seven or eight years ago was still vivid in his mind. Charles had liked Ethan quite a bit. At the time, many talented local youths had been vying for Lily's affection, yet he had favored Ethan, even hoping to match him with his daughter. But unexpectedly..."Father, enough." Lily turned her head slightly, revealing a face that could bring kingdoms to ruin. But looking closely, her beautiful eyes held a deep weariness.Seven years--how many such spans are granted in a mortal lifetime? Se

    An hour later. The rain grew heavier, coming down in sheets. The dark sky heralded an early nightfall in this gloomy downpour. The Inn of No Worries had long since closed, and the main street was now sparsely populated, with only a few swaying lanterns barely clinging to their poles in the wind and rain.Under the torrential rain's dilution, the traces of the Fountain of Time's poison had completely faded away. As Ethan strode through the ankle-deep water on the street, it splashed out around his steps.A hundred or so yards across from the Inn of No Worries, a bulky figure stood under the eaves of a dilapidated house, hands hanging loosely at his sides. Drenched by the raging storm, he seemed unfazed, standing motionless as the rainwater streamed down his face through gaps in the broken roof tiles."Maxwell? Your hands...they're healed?" From afar, Ethan immediately recognized Maxwell and grinned, hurriedly splashing through the standing water toward him.Maxwell's lips trembled and

    The assassin in purple robes stepped forward to flip over Ethan's "corpse", intending to seize Ethan's Azure Myst.But at that moment--Suddenly! Ethan's eyes shot open as the Azure Dragon shard materialized in his hand, stabbing into the assassin's left and right thighs in rapid succession!"Pfft!""Pfft!"Blood gushed wildly as holes appeared in both of the assassin's legs. His expression changed dramatically as he was jolted awake. Ethan pounced forward, gripping the assassin's thighs tightly, stabbing the Azure Dragon shard again and again into his legs! Ethan knew clearly that a Beyond Heaven core assassin of this caliber likely had some kind of spiritual armor for protection. A direct stab to the heart might not take him down in one blow. In an instant, the assassin's legs were pierced four or five times. The extreme sharpness of the Azure Dragon shard rendered his legs basically useless. The assassin's face was sinisterly dark. He did indeed have spiritual armor--a mid-gra

    "I must make him come down," Ethan's icy gaze swept over the water pooling on the ground. The rainwater mixed with a drop of Fountain of Time. Although constantly being washed and diluted by the rain, it had not yet fully dispersed and was still extremely toxic!Because of the Fountain of Time, Ethan's movable space was very limited right now. While the purple-robe could float freely in the void, under such circumstances this battle was unwinnable!Ethan flung an initial stage spear towards the purple-robe in the void. He still had tens of thousands of such spears in reserve in his Azure Myst. For offensive means, as a peak Meridian Training expert Ethan could only do this much against Bone Sacrifice Realm and above enemies.Weakened over thousands of yards of space, the spear's power had greatly diminished. The purple-robe casually waved his hand, deflecting the spear aside. It could not harm him whatsoever.Ethan flipped his hand, taking out a night pot emanating a faint azure glow
