This was the night before the battle between the two Silver Continent Immortals in the Cursed Desert. Nonetheless, the spots strategically located to witness the duel firsthand were already filled with martial arts practitioners and watchers, crowding the outskirts of the Cursed Desert.

For decades, there had never been heavy rain falling on the Cursed Desert, bordering the Central Plains and the Western Plains. This was a rare occurrence.

Huo Qing was a master of the Six Star Sect, Harmony Sword Sect, a small sect located in the Eastern Mainland of the Silver Continent.

The fifty-year-old man had come all the way from the East, specifically to witness the great battle between the two Immortals of the Silver Continent, together with his favorite disciple, Wang Qing-qing, a 15-year-old girl.

Cultivating at the third level of the Boundless Realm, Huo Qing intended to broaden his horizons by observing the sword sparring between Immortals to benefit the development of his sword technique

    Unexpectedly, Huo Qing then said, "Let's stand up. Play a few strokes of the sword techniques you've mastered.While this heart is happy, I will give you instructions to improve your sword techniques!" Huo Qing said happily. He actually pitied the young man.With a stature that looked tall and an age that was not young enough to start martial training, Huo Qing took pity on the young man cultivating at the level one Spirit Condensation Realm."Which sect or alliance are you from?" asked Huo Qing."Er... I'm actually just a rogue cultivator," Fen replied. Rogue cultivators are independent practitioners who train themselves on the path of immortality, not joining any particular sect or alliance.The advantages of rogue cultivators like this are that their techniques are diverse, and they are free to receive input or guidance from any expert outside the sect, without fear of offending or violating sect rules.The drawback of rogue cultivators is that they will not receive resources that

    Night had not yet fallen, and the orange light of the evening sun still spread its color, reddening the western horizon, creating a beautiful scene in the Cursed Wilderness.The thousand swordsmen, all seated on the backs of flying horses, hovered in a regular hum of wings, set against the backdrop of a rainbow—an after-rain phenomenon.Everyone who saw them—those mysterious experts—became dumbfounded. It felt like they, the audience, had never seen such an apparition before. Silently, everyone stood in their places and gazed at them with reverence."Their average cultivation is in the Holy Enlightenment Realm!" whispered one of the six-star sect masters in awe."Even each of them with such high cultivation; if they really are a new sect, I'm sure that their sect will be the most powerful sect on this continent," his friend replied, amazed but also shuddering in horror.This sighting was like a miracle, and it took place in the Cursed Desert as a thousand sword weapon experts on horse

    But after waiting for so long, more than ten breaths, not a single person appeared on the deck of the spirit ship."What's going on?Is this ship carrying that Immortal expert from the Flying Sword Sect? Why hasn't he shown his face yet?" everyone was confused.Suddenly...An oppressive aura was felt, thickly urging no less than ten figures to float lightly from the top of the spirit vessel."Ten SAGE!" a stifled squeal escaped the lips of the night's patrons."Is this real? Encountering just one Sage is a very rare thing. But this time there are ten Sages," Master Huo Qing said excitedly."Interesting show. SAGE and Immortal! I didn't expect it at all. Having lived in this world for so long, now I see with my own eyes, there are many high-level experts in this Cursed Desert! It's not in vain that we came all the way from the East," Huo Qing's eyes glazed over.For martial arts experts, it is a golden opportunity to witness the crowded, demigod-like exchange of weapons between experts

    Struck with curiosity, Huo Qing went along to investigate..."Yes, is there something strange? Why are you sad, young man?" he asked.Fen-fen shyly blinked his eyes, trying to dispel the mist of tears that had been floating. He said."Nothing happened. I'm just a little worried about that Baron Wei. Especially after knowing that he's the Flying Sword Sect's Immortal champion who will be dueling later...He looks old and too fragile, doesn't he?" said Fen-fen.Unnoticed, Wang Qing-qing and Huo Qing joined in on Baron Wei, the newly arrived soul immortal. Within a few blinks of an eye after taking a good look, inevitably, they had to agree that Baron Wei looked tired."Although his face is still shining, but that Baron Wei looks very frail. I doubt if he can win this duel." Huo Qing hissed.Meanwhile, deep in the sandy fields near the battlefield, Baron Wei the Immortal expert was seen walking near 10 Sages who were all covered in the same uniform. Straw coats, hooded hats, making it di

    "Deadly!" shouted Baron Wei on cue.Then the sky seemed to split into two, lightning struck as the combined Qi power between the 1000 Sacred Enlightenment Realm expert practitioners—the horse riders—flew.This combined power mingled again with Qi Energy, ten Sage powers, all unleashing the physical energy power of pure Eve, against the backdrop of Immortal Soul Master Baron Wei's Immortal Soul magic power."Millions of Qi created in colors like a Ferris wheel," everyone stared in amazement."Such great power—will it be able to face the Immortal?" This made everyone in the audience in the wilderness wide-eyed in horror.The horror that covered the faces in the Cursed Desert was not the case with the Immortal. Nangong Rong didn't even look scared at all.Even with a voice that sounded thunderous, so loud that it overpowered the rumble of air ripping from the combined sword strikes, Nangong Rong spoke in a mocking tone. He said..."You're just a bunch of pathetic creatures who've got you

    Baron Wei's voice boomed, followed by the buzzing of the harp strings that roared like lightning and thunder coming out of the sky, merging once again in the mancolor, predominantly orange.The thousand soldiers and Sages were re-energized, erupting Orange Energy to join the mystical hum of the harp strings.The two great powers of the Flying Sword Sect once again collided with the light of heavenly flames, a vibrant bluish-green that came out from the tip of Nangong Rong's sword.Duar!This was an unforgivable time. The faces of all the practitioners of the Flying Sword Sect, from the Reliable Horsemen to the Sage and Baron Wei, were as white as paper. The third time... en masse, everyone had once released a gulp of blood, now being injured en masse.Nangong Rong became more and more arrogant, shining like a god, consumed with pride in his immortal abilities. He said sinisterly..."To me, all of you are nothing more than ants. Even that soul power Immortal is nothing. He was and is n

    Fen-fen... Fen-fen..."What are you doing? Come back here..." shouted Huo Qing in panic. He didn't expect at all that the young man would have the courage to run through the overflow of residual battle energy, which was like rain falling on the sandy ground, the arena of the Cursed Desert Padan.Wang Qingqing herself was not above hysterics... she was overflowing with rage, having seen the weak young man running through the rain of battle energy that was still falling in the arena."Fen-fen, Fen-fen... you stupid kid! Come back!You're just looking for death to go near the arena!" Wang Qingqing shouted, both of them screaming hysterically.The sound of the two screaming was so noisy that it distracted the attention of the people nearby; the visitors were drawn to the young man named Fen-fen."What is that boy doing seeking death alone?""He's tired of living and wants to date death!" people shouted in panic as Fen-fen sped stiffly and clumsily toward the battleground of the Cursed Wil

    Fear grew as everyone watched Nangong Rong wave the sword in his hand.At that moment, the Fire Domain formed again behind Nangong Rong, then came out from within the domain, gliding quickly. The Three Thousand Swords in the form of swirling flames threatened to scorch the young man.Nangong Rong himself was seen unceasingly forming strange seals on his chest for the purpose of controlling the Three Thousand Flame Sword. All of them were twisted, evil-looking things filled with hot energy that could destroy even a country.Nangong Rong said arrogantly, "All the techniques and all the swordsmanship in this world I have learned...Even if I wanted to, I could defeat a human demigod and cut his throat.You are just one ant, absolutely nothing in front of me."Die!Nangong Rong then awakened the sword spirits within the Three Thousand Flame Swords, which were now chasing each other rapidly, like ghosts ready to roast Fen-fen into dust.Meanwhile, seen behind the Three Thousand Flame Sword

    Meanwhile, while Jiayi thought that Lin Haoyu was Guo Jiang's brother's made-up name, on the contrary, the two young geniuses from the Peach Moon Sect and the Zhao Clan were shocked to hear the name Lin Haoyu, Guo Jiang's teacher.Zhao Hua and Yin Fu He glanced at each other then whispered."No wonder at such a young age he already possesses combat power far above that of a level 3 Earth rank Cultivator, even at the final level.I feel that his attack contains 1,900 jin of pure air.""I'm not surprised. The teacher who guided him directly was Mr. Lin Haoyu. He is the Ice Island Lord's representative whose name shook the Martial World some time ago."Yin Fu He and Zhao Hua were now also reluctant of Guo Jiang. That youngster was the direct disciple of the Deputy Island Sovereign, whose cultivation level was even higher than that of the Ice Island Sovereign.Meanwhile, Jiayi, who had been very enthusiastic about seeing the gathering of young heroes from various sects, consisting of the

    It is forbidden to use enchantments and magic on this Ice Island!" Guo Jiang sang a verse of Autumn Arrives.Guo Jiang's voice sounded echoing; it sounded like the tone of a person who was humming enchanting magic. During the fall, Guo Jiang's voice can be heard as far as one lie, to the point that his charm has influenced the creatures of the night, now flocking to the seashore.The mysterious air that had previously enveloped Yin Fu He and Zhao Hua instantly vanished when the hum of When Autumn Comes rang out and dispersed Mahya's enchanting magic.Like people who just woke up from sleep, Yin Fu He and Zhao Hua suddenly came to their senses. The two of them shook their heads to shake off the dizziness—it was the mesmerizing charm that Mahya the Magus girl had cast.Wush-wush!The two geniuses from the Peach Moon Sect and the Zhao Clan hurriedly jumped back when they realized the alluring magic."Magic!" the two hissed, now more cautiously not daring to look at Mahya who was also sho

    Jiayi, who had been hiding since the appearance of the girl with the magic aura, could no longer bear to stay hidden.She immediately jumped out from behind the ice mountain where she and Guo Jiang were hiding. That action made Zhao Hua and Yin Fu He surprised. But the newly appeared girl maintained her smile.The slightly dark-skinned magus girl with a foreign look was attractive not only to men, but even Jiayi, a girl, was fascinated."Are you a Spirit Master of Spirit of Moon rank?Let me guess. I don't think it would be wrong for me to refer to you as a magus from the West, would it?" Jiayi said loudly, making all the eyes that had been focused on the unique girl now turn to her—a beautiful petite girl, also containing a mysterious and enchanting aura."How could two young and beautiful girls suddenly appear on this deserted beach?" Yin Fu He wondered inwardly. His head was spinning; there were two beautiful girls now in front of his eyes.Meanwhile,The magus girl threw a friendl

    Jiayi looked uneasy. She didn't want the two White Stream Sect Leader geniuses to kill each other."Cool brother Jiang, can't you break up those two youngsters?Your cultivation is much higher than Jiayi's.It would be much easier if one is from the same cultivation realm, compared to my low cultivation self, to separate those two youngsters who seem to be going crazy," Jiayi said with an expectant look at Guo Jiang.Guo Jiang thought for a moment. He considered the risk if he showed his snow lotus technique. He looked for an excuse to refuse."Then what answer should I give to that Yin Fu He? On the other hand, we both also watched him practicing with their Peach Moon Sect's secret techniques," Guo Jiang asked back.Jiayi was a resourceful teenager. With just a quick thought, she had come up with the right answer, just in case Yin Fu He turned his anger on the two of them."About that, brother Guo Jiang doesn't need to worry. I have thought of the right answer to silence Yin Fu He. F

    The sword in Yin Fu He's hand was getting closer to Zhao Hua's back when it glowed in rainbow colors. Beautiful but dangerous.Jiayi was wide-eyed at the sight. Her heart was upset that there wasn't the slightest defense from Zhao Hua, who still seemed indifferent."You stupid dandy, he thinks the Rainbow Sword Technique is only a low-grade technique," Jiayi tensed up in fascination at the beauty of the Rainbow Sword.Suddenly, unexpectedly, Zhao Hua turned around quickly. His face broke into a faint smile, a look of disdain on his face. He wasn't stupid enough to just let the sword in Yin Fu He's hand split him in half.With a cold snort, his hand quickly brought out the sword that had been ready to come out of its sheath, too fast for the naked eye to follow.In a swift motion, still in a hovering state, Zhao Hua returned the sword strokes, now his demeanor changed from clumsy to serious and authoritative looking. His voice chanting the sword incantation was loud enough to raise the

    Jiayi was just about to jump out from behind the snow mountain and apologize to Yin Fu He, but her movement was stopped. Guo Jiang gripped the girl's adoration tightly, so tightly that she wanted to scream in pain.Her eyes bulged like they were going to pop out of their sockets, but her heart calmed down at the sight of Brother Guo Jiang's shady eyes."Hold back, sister Jiayi.We should not act rashly. The matter of peeping at people practicing their stash techniques is embarrassing.We should wait a little longer and see what happens. My guess is that Yin Fu He is too prejudiced. How could he possibly detect the two of us who are quietly safe due to the status of this protective Talisman?" said Guo Jiang, stepping cautiously with distrust of that Yin Fu He.There was silence, but the sea breeze carrying vapor and ice grains sounded rough.Five winks passed, and Yin Fu He seemed to lose his patience. Sword sounds rang out as the youngster of the Crescent Moon Sect drew a sword. His f

    Because he held a VIP invitation that was a special invitation for the Thirteen Immortal World Rulers Sect Master, Huang Guowei was given a place to stay, a large pavilion that could accommodate more than 20 people.The Ice Island's master had apparently made professional preparations by setting up so many makeshift buildings as lodgings for so many sects, that is, outside of World Lord Martial arts world's thirteen largest sects.They passed through a large arena where the floor looked like a mirror; it was the original floor of ice crystals that were decades old—never melted a speck.There were tons of circular seating seats around the stage of the ice-crystal-floored arena.Huang Guowei glanced indifferently then whispered to Guo Jiang and Jiayi."It looks like the host intentionally made a combat arena, it's the most dangerous arena I've ever seen.The floor of this ice crystal is very slippery, so the best balance and Qinggong techniques will be helpful in case you join the fight

    Even from afar, the scent of jasmine mixed with lavender wafted up to their ocean-going ship.Jiayi laughed lightly at the dandy figure."That 15-year-old youngster is named Zhao Hua. He's the only son of the Patriarch of the Zhao Clan in the Ancient City of the Northwest Slope of this continent.At this young age, Zhao Hua had broken through to become a level 3 Earth Rank Practitioner. He mastered the 15 Steps of Death Sword Technique, a deadly sword technique of the Zhao Clan.Rumor had it that if someone in the Clan inherited the 15 Death Sword Movement Technique, then that person would become the next Patriarch of the Zhao Clan."Guo Jiang chuckled after hearing all of Jiayi's explanation. Indeed, in his recent journey, he felt that with his ability to break through to become a level 3 Earth Practitioner, it was extremely extraordinary. He was counted as a genius and a rare existence in the Martial arts world.But that sense of pride instantly melted away, drowning in the cold sea

    In the Northern Region of the Silver Screen Continent, the snow season seemed to never end throughout the year. Even if spring or summer came around, it wasn't too long before the flower season and summer would move quickly, welcoming the arrival of fall as the start of the long snow season.Today was a beautiful day, when the sky was clear and bright, free of gray clouds. Nonetheless, here in the North Sea, the surface of the sea was pure white with thin ice glistening in the sun, making the three medium-sized ships sailing across the sea look like huge whales swimming on a silver mirror.Guo Jiang and Jiayi stood on the bridge of their Ocean Crossing ship, looking at the ice crystals that lay glittering on the seawater, looking like a glass tapestry.On the starboard side of their ships, within a safe distance was each ship on the starboard side with a large pennant; it depicted half a peach blossom, side by side with an embroidered silver crescent moon, with two other swords crosse
