Swordbound Chronicles Signs in the Sky.
That morning in the Fairy Cliff Forest, Yuan Fen performed the final honouring rituals in the cave for Suma Chen's death. All the advice and teachings Suma Chen had given him before Xianren's death were still clearly imprinted in his memory. He was also reminded not to cry over Suma Chen's death.The child was still kneeling in front of Suma Chen's body. When it was daylight, he dripped the Blue Ice Core liquid onto Suma Chen's corpse, which then froze and formed a cluster of crystals that protected it. Finally, Suma Chen was encased in crystals, which preserved the corpse's immortality.Yuan Fen paid his respects again and then kept the corpse inside the spatial ring that Suma Chen had given him.Next, Yuan Fen performed a contractual act on the spatial ring by dripping his blood and reciting incantations so that it was locked and would only open when Yuan Fen touched it with his mind.Of course, he was cautious with the ring his Master gave, as it contained many precious treasures.
Swordbound Chronicles Sword Sect Recruitment.
Only one day, he was left for the Sword Cloud Sect's recruitment ceremony. Meanwhile, Yuan Fen was always busy with cultivation. After finishing all his tasks during the day, he practiced the Trenta Earth Ranking Defence Technique as a copy scroll stored in his spatial ring.Although the training in this defense Technique was not perfect, Yuan Fen was quite satisfied. His body changed as he reached level 1 of this Technique, which was Copper Skin. Based on the explanation in the copy he studied, he knew that if he improved his cultivation of this defense, he could reach rank 2, Silver Skin. The highest rank in this Technique was Golden Skin.Although it would take a long time to reach the Silver Skin Technique, let alone the Golden Skin, Yuan Fen had decided to stop using herbs and cultivation-enhancing pills. He let his technique improvement changes happen through the natural cultivation path.With the Copper Skin ability, Yuan Fen tried to practice the Ocean Breaking Palm Punch comb
Swordbound Chronicles Sword Sect Entrance Examination.
On the third day of the Cloud Sword Sect's Inner Court Student Entrance Examination, the number of entrance examinees had shrunk, dropping to 1500. All of these youths are extremely talented geniuses. Their future was predicted to be very bright as they were from the Two Star Sect, one of the Seven Great Sects Alliance in the Great Ying Empire. Opportunities to hold government positions or become royal officers are wide open to them. The Empire highly valued this Seven Great Sects Alliance.However, worries still haunted all the participants. The third test, determining whether they would be accepted as Cloud Sword Sect students, was considered the most severe. Yuan Fen stood among the many prospective students. Today was the last day of the exam, so Yuan Fen felt a little more relaxed. He observed the examinees.His gaze stopped on a 12-year-old boy who had a friendly face. The boy even smiled at Yuan Fen, although Yuan Fen then turned his attention towards the others."Big brother,

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
Swordbound Chronicles Are You Searching for the Amulet - Section 1
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
Swordbound Chronicles Are You Searching for the Amulet - Section Two
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.
Swordbound Chronicles Quicker Pace.
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

"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.

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

Unlike Elves, who only need to die and then sail to the afterlife, you need to know that when Elves reach the Enchanted Land, they will not retain the cultivation they had when they died. Everything will start from zero: a new body, a new mind, and a new cultivation..." Suma Fen took careful note of this explanation. Only now did he truly understand what an immortal was and its benefits."That's why I accepted the job as a guard, living in a world where time has come to a standstill," the Guard explained. "Then, the Judges and Angels of Wonderland, who took pity on my condition—not immortal but also nothing—offered me a job as a Guardian in this Border world, guarding the bodies of thousands of practitioners who died when they failed to break through to become Immortal.""Here, my age seems to have come to a standstill due to the miraculous actions of the Angels and Judges of Wonderland. My age was consumed when I had to go to the world, pick up practitioners who failed to become immo

With a look of disbelief, Suma Fen replied, "I—this... well, it's impossible. You can't be that old, right?" His hand gripped the Black Immortal Sword even tighter.The old man replied flatly, "I am over twenty thousand years old." Although Suma Fen wore a shocked expression, the old man did not care about the change on the young man's face. In reality, the words of being twenty thousand years old hit Suma Fen hard.He continued, "This place is called the 'Border.' I should have killed you when I found you in this forbidden place. But since you are the heir of the two sword kings and considering my friendship with them in the past, I decided not to take your life.""You can live here accompanying me with those thousands of coffins over there," he pointed at the rows of coffins with his eyes."Is there no way out of here?" asked Suma Fen frantically."No! There is no way out of here. You will be here forever. Maybe I'll even consider you my successor, as a 'Guardian'! Guardian is my na

Following the creaking sound that broke the silence of the red world, a figure stood in front of the door. It was a tall, slender man, perhaps barely over six feet tall. This man was probably seventy years old, but he guessed he was over five hundred.The man's face was pretty ordinary—not handsome, but not ugly, either. His white hair was left down, with a little mustache and white beard adorning his flat face.The clothes he wore were made of expensive satin fabric, which was made of layers of all-white color, almost matching his pale skin and face, which was as pale as the moon. That face looked cold and expressionless.Despite having had countless encounters with various humans and other races over the years, the youngster was taken by surprise by the cold appearance before him. Without realizing it, his legs reflexively moved backward."Who are you? And what brings you to this Rose Castle?" a voice echoed in Suma Fen's mind, but he didn't see the person in front of him open his m
