That morning, at the green peak of Cloud Sword Sect, Yuan Fen was cultivating to strengthen his Snow Lotus Energy Qi. He was ambitious and wanted to finish his cultivation in the Mortal Realm to move to the Spirit Condensation Realm as soon as possible.However, reality was always cruel. It was more challenging than imagined and wishful thinking to enter the Spirit Condensation Realm quickly. Even the signs of breaking through to the 8th Mortal Realm had yet to appear. The big-hearted Yuan Fen then thought that if he couldn't reach the Spirit Condensation Realm shortly, it was better to keep cultivating and consider other alternatives.Yuan Fen then stepped into the library and met Elder Bao An, an expert who could advise on the Technique he would choose."Greetings, Elder Bao An. I, Yuan Fen, have come to visit.""Fen Er... you came to visit the library. You finally became a disciple of the Sect's outer court. Say, what can I do for you?" Elder Bao An was pleased with Yuan Fen's visi
Three days later, the Northern Region's Green Peak was dusted with white snow as it fell. Yuan Fen's main goal was to become an expert in fusing the Peregrine Falcon Speed with the Thousand-Sword Sword Technique.The method was incorruptible, but it produced a tremendous strike when combined with the Ice Lotus element, Thousand Sword Blows, and Peregrine Falcon Speed method. Like a Peregrine Falcon gliding through the air, Yuan Fen smashed down, shattering everything below with the shadow of sword splinters from the Snow Lotus's ice core.Great though he was, Yuan Fen believed he still needed to pick up the pace he wanted. He had to figure out a method to quicken his pace even further, to match Master Suma Chen's.A thought occurred to him as he considered this. It was followed by the detonation of a communication amulet in midair. Yi Zan left a message stating that he was expecting Yuan Fen at the Green Peak Hall.Although Yi Zan could easily make a communication Amulet, Yuan Fen tho
When Mr. Lian Zhang saw the five communication amulets, he was astounded. He swallowed the harsh words that were about to come out of his mouth. There was silence in the Treasure Hall as individuals feared their actions would damage their connection with the Blacksmith and Mechanical Societies. However, they also didn't want to cross paths with a Cloud Sword Sect Earth Encryption Master. So they decided to say nothing.After undergoing a significant transformation, Mr. Lian Zhang approached Yi Zan and made an offer to purchase the amulets. But Yi Zan pretended not to hear and meandered through the Morning Star City Treasure Hall display hall, exploring the first and second floors. Mr. Lian Zhang pursued Yi Zan, making a valiant effort to obtain the Five Amulets."Little brother Yi Zan, why don't you sell those Amulets to Mr. Lian Zhang and have him make something for you instead?" Yuan Fen finally said to Yi Zan after growing concerned about how Yi Zan was playing with Mr. Lian Zhang.
Yuan Fen expressed his satisfaction with Mr. Liang Zhan's things. He was naturally excited to try on the robes and shoes, but he refrained to go with Yi Zan to see what the girl would be interested in.At last, a Titanium metal sword from the Liang Mountains caught Yi Zan's eye. It was beautifully crafted and adorned with several platinum engravings. Yi Zan agreed to ask his grandfather to cast a spell and engrave his sword, looking quite pleased with the weapon he had found.With heavy heart, Yuan Fen completed the payment for the two goods he had chosen, which had a combined value of 50,000 Demi-class energy stones.He was slightly reassured by the fact that he had hundreds of thousands of energy stones in that class. However, he had an epiphany about his unpaid due to the Treasure Hall and decided to sell every talisman he had crafted in the past.Yi Zan had completed exchanging ten thousand energy stones for his weapon in the meantime. Indeed, cultivators and collectors of magical
Today, as usual, Yuan Fen and Yi Zan were gathered in the Green Peak Hall, taking lessons with Master Yi. Master Yi explained the theory of applying the Encryption for the Encryption Master profession to an object."In principle, all objects seen by an Encryption Master have a spirit. The spirit appears in the object after it has been molded. For example, a sword made of black metal ore cannot be said to have a spirit. The spirit will only exist when the sword is completed," explained Master Yi."However, the spirit in the object is still in a sleeping or dormant state. To awaken it, external action is required in the form of chants or mantras accompanied by the application of special Incriptions during the process to awaken the spirit in the sword," he added."These chants and incantations are done in ancient languages that require specialised learning. Only a small percentage of Incription Masters have enough mental strength to do so, and the race that has mastered this technique th
"Brother Yuan Fen... I heard your conversation. May I join your team for the sect mission?" The voice that suddenly interrupted Yuan Fen and Yi Zan's conversation made them turn to look at the figure that suddenly appeared.It belonged to Peng Fai, a new student from the Inner Court who had been acquainted with Yuan Fen while recruiting new students some time ago.Yuan Fen smiled at the sight of Peng Fai, while Yi Zan looked at him suspiciously. He was not fond of hanging out with strangers, let alone those he did not know. So far, Yi Zan's only playmate was Yuan Fen."Yi Zan's sister, this is my friend, Peng Fai. He is also a new student like me, and he comes from the village. He is a friendly and loyal person. He is always with me during the recruitment of new students," Yuan Fen said, introducing Peng Fai in hopes of dispelling suspicions and strengthening the relationship between them.In no time, due to his friendly nature, Peng Fai managed to win Yi Zan's heart, so the three of
When Master Yi handed over two circular, black badges bearing the bold words "Seal Master 4", Yuan Fen and Yi Zan realized that this was the day they had been waiting for. The Seal Master 4 insignia were put on the two teens' chests right away.But it was also the day they left for the mountains of Taoshan. Known as "Peach Mountain," Mount Taoshan is a stunning mountain range located west of the Cloud Sword Sect. Taoshan Mountain is well-known for its breathtaking scenery, especially in the spring when the peach trees bloom.Numerous pavilions that can serve as places for guests to stay are located at the summit of the mountain. As a result, tourists from all over the world frequently visit the Taoshan Mountains, making it one of the most well-known tourist destinations. However, people, particularly tourists and village business owners, have been complaining a lot lately. They lament that thieves frequently show up to take advantage of their sales or extort visitors for valuables lik
Fearing for his life, the elder man poured energy Qi into his palm and launched an assault on Yuan Fen. This attack indicated the usage of a darkness technique because it was quite strong and smelled fishy. The elder man was quickly let down, though. The adolescent vanished out of nowhere as his palm blow appeared to be set to crush Yuan Fen. The sudden disappearance of his opponent shocked the older guy, who swiftly turned to discover the youth smiling and standing behind him. The old man growled in a cry-like howl, "Even if you're a savage... I, the goblin Cai Cun, won't let you get out of here alive," as the foul-smelling fish began to emanate from his hands. Seeing his opponent's amazing speed and agility, he became desperate and decided to carry out a suicide attack with the adolescent. The elder man unleashed yet another vicious attack, conjuring up the image of a massive rat that lunged violently toward Yuan Fen, right at the teenager's heart. His goal with every attack was
On the second day, while constantly checking the map he had bought in the West, he felt that the Land of Medicinal Plants was getting closer."The land of steep ravines and the trees of the five seasons are coming into view. The Land of Medicinal Plants is in sight," he thought happily.Suma Fen continued to fly solo, and he had to ascend more and more as this high and steep terrain directed him. Eventually, at 1500 feet above ground level, he saw a vast expanse of fields and other steep hills.Now, flying low, he smiled and waved to the Takin (a kind of goat) herding children who jumped up and down in excitement, shouting in amazement at the sight of a human performing such a feat of flying."Saint—it's a saint!" they shouted, waving their hands, before bowing and running happily after Suma Fen.Suma Fen finally landed and approached the children surrounding him, who were somewhat timid but full of interest."Greetings, children," said Suma Fen. He folded his arms across his chest be
The journey to the Southern Lands would be shortened if he took the route through the Land of World Medicinal Plants on the southwestern edge of the Silver Continent rather than the conventional route through the wilderness. After all, the Southwestern lands were also famous for the mystical wonders of this world; he thought there must be many secret, rare, and precious artifacts.It was late afternoon when he arrived at the western edge of the gap between the Western and Southwestern Regions. The sun was on the Western horizon with a dark orange tinge as far as the eye could see.With a single foot stomp, the young man's body floated beautifully, taking flight. He looked like a god, so majestic, with his loose sleeves flapping in the wind. Many martial practitioners and ordinary mortals—not the immortality pursuit group—were stunned to see the silver-haired man in action.At the edge of the infinite abyss, many people who would travel between regions from the West to the Southwest ha
The silver-haired man still stood calmly, looking majestic and mystical from the top of the courtyard wall of the Goddess of Virtue Temple. His flowing hair moved like a snake in the cold wind and glimmered like fireflies in the moonlight.A girl from the Wu Clan named Wu Biao and her brother, Wu Zao Yun, knelt, bowed their heads, and thanked the man. "Thank you, Inkong (master helper)," they said as they banged their heads on the wet ground.In a soft voice, the man returned their salute, "Don't mind it too much. I have had good relations with your Wu Clan in the past. Long ago, I was friends with Elder Wu Wangting in your clan. Unfortunately, I heard that he was killed in battle.""Elder Wu Wangting?" muttered Wu Biao. She glanced at Wu Zao Yun beside her."Master Helper, will you tell us your name?" asked Wu Biao curiously. The Wu Clan girl then looked up, trying to get a better look at the helper lord's face.However, to Wu Biao's surprise, the silver-haired lord had vanished. The
"Kill the two rats. The female one is enough to subdue. She will warm Mao Yu Yi's bed this cold night.""Damn it! I'd rather die than submit," shouted the woman pretending to be a man, drawing her sword!A silver gleam of light flashed. The three swords in the Wu Clan members' hands moved as fast as shadows, darting under the pouring rain.Trang—trang—trang!The clash of sharp weapons sounded heart-wrenching, and it was made all the more upsetting when rain scattered like pebbles joined the sound.The three Wu Clan practitioners circled each other, releasing sword energy and protecting one another from behind. The cooperation of three experts in the early rank of the Boundless Realm took turns slashing with Wu Clan sword techniques towards one group after another that surrounded them. The rainwater at the feet of the combatants gradually turned red.Blood splattered in the rain as the demon clan's besiegers began to fall to the ground one by one. More than ten Demon Clan practitioners
A few seconds later..."I told you! You're too emotional. We should have acted with extra caution. Remember... our patriarch has ordered that this ambush plan of ours not be leaked," a voice full of authority and reprimand rang out."The stakes are our lives if we negligently prepare for this ambush. It's been a long time since we've undertaken this spy assignment, and now that we've finally obtained information on the whereabouts of the demon clan and its captives, are you going to make a mess of things just out of emotion? Mind your temper, youngest sister," admonished the man who looked the oldest among them. The girl in men's clothing could only bow her head and apologize repeatedly.The dining and drinking establishment at the Asoka Pavilion was quiet again. Diners refocused on the food on their tables, and the sounds of conversation and chopsticks clinking filled the room once more.+++It was a quiet night. The rain that had been falling since the afternoon had not stopped. It
That morning, birds chirped melodiously throughout the forest. Peach fruits seemed to be ripening as the season had arrived, and a man stepped out of the willow tree forest towards a city in the West called Fallen Star City. That man was Lord Fen, also known as Suma Fen.He was currently planning to travel to the South and enjoy the beautiful scenery on his leisurely journey. Up until now, he had always traveled aboard spirit ships or magical animals, so the opportunity to enjoy the beautiful scenery along the way had always been missed."I have explored the North and West of this continent. I have yet to explore the South, East, and Center. The South is the closest area to the West from here. Visiting Atid and picking up my Phoenix is the first thing I will do," he thought excitedly.Having successfully broken through the transitional boundary between SAGE and the Immortal Passing Realm, commonly referred to as Quasi Immortal Passing (quasi means pseudo or half-step), his constitutio
He deliberately emphasized "Demon Race Clan" so the ascetic would be scared upon hearing his clan's big name. So far, their Demon Race Clan had dominated the West, so any practitioner in the Western region would think a hundred times before crossing people associated with their clan.However, Mao Ren Hao was surprised that the young ascetic wasn't startled at all; instead, he just smiled blandly. The ascetic, like other wise men, said..."It is not good for a man to kill his baby—his flesh and blood. You must repent because your actions will anger even the demons in hell." His face had the serene look of a saint.Mao Ren Hao was shocked. In his entire life, this was the first time a simple person had given him advice and considered his actions wrong. All this time, everything he did was according to the instructions of his Demon Clan ancestor. No one dared to blame his ancestor—the current Supreme Leader of their Clan.With a face filled with anger, Mao Ren Hao stood up straight. With
Tuiiitt!The sound of a flute rang out, sinking deep into the heart as if breaking the silence.The birds of the forest flew around chaotically, disturbed by the rhythm of the flute, which was becoming increasingly oppressive by the day. The girl's face paled as if the sound of the flute had sucked her blood out. Without hesitation, she immediately handed over her baby to the ascetic man. A sword was drawn, gleaming like silver in the moonlight."The rhythm of death," the girl hissed hoarsely, full of fear.Soon, the flute's sound turned low and became silent. A single figure stood floating halfway up the willow tree, staring coldly at the girl. Its cold aura seemed to pierce through her bones."M-Mao Ren Hao..." the girl's voice stuttered, choked with fear.In front of her, hovering with a cold gaze, was a man wearing an all-black tunic, with hair as black as ink and an ordinary appearance but a powerful aura. He was quite young—around 30 years old—yet so young that he could play the
Suma Fen became highly grateful. Cultivating in this Red Realm, apart from cutting down on time, he felt as if he had been bestowed with the incomparable gift of the Scarlet Rose.The passage of so much time had also changed the young man's appearance. Although his age seemed unchanged—like two months of growth—the growth of his hair, beard, and mustache had visibly adorned his youthful face.As a result, aside from his more mature demeanor, at first glance, one would hardly recognize him as Suma Fen with that mustache and beard. He even looked like a noble—a hermit."Twenty years in this Red Frontier World, my dantian has been in turmoil. Soon, the stronghold of my dantian will be breached; the half-immortal world is in sight," the young man thought. His lips curled into a smile—he smiled happily.+++Silver Continent, Western Region.The appointed time, according to the agreement between the Eastern Empire and its alliance with the Western Region against the Northern Region, had pas
