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,
Swordbound Chronicles Sword Sect Library.
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
Swordbound Chronicles Ancient Language Spells – Part one.
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

The Wind Rider – Part II.
Padre He Ping had been in a bad mood ever since. And when the Leopard Expedition leader said that these four coffins were specially intended for their White Lotus Temple, he waved his hand.Wush!A loud and powerful wind blew toward the row of coffins, like a fusion reaction.The wind punch floated out with a deadly attacking air, and instantly, the four coffin covers split apart, breaking into two.Padre He Ping's face instantly froze. He knew in his heart the four figures that were now lying stiff.They were Padre Mu, a practitioner in the fourth-level Earth Realm; Padre Gao Jing, in the third-level Earth Realm; Padre Ye Ying, a third-level Earth practitioner; and finally, Padre Yan Cheng, a practitioner in the second-level Earth rank.These four people had been sent by Padre He Ping to eliminate a young man named Guo Jiang, who had unmasked the benevolent Padre as the Flower-Picking Villain.He gritted his teeth loudly, inwardly vowing that he would go find the young man and finish
The Wind Rider.
The White Lotus Temple had closed its gates since dusk. This had been the custom for a long time when the shrine was opened to the public and served the devotees who came to worship in the Golden Pegasus Empire.Just as a child laborer, the future Padre of the temple, was about to close the temple gate, suddenly there was the clatter of horses' hooves in the distance. Even though it was fall, puffs of dust were kicked up.The boy named Afiu, dressed in a rough tunic of an unattractive gray color that the Padres wore to appear humble, stared in surprise as he heard the hoofbeats and shouts in the distance."What happened?" Afiu asked, confused.His friend Aheng, who was in the middle of sweeping the yard full of fallen leaves, also ran over to Afiu."Hold on a minute, little Padre! Don't close the gate of the White Lotus Temple just yet," a voice shouted from a distance, indicating that the person had high Qi power.Spontaneously, Afiu, who was about to lock the gate of the White Lotus
Afternoon in the Osmanthus Forest – Part II.
Still in silence, the four figures waited until about the time of the burning charcoal before taking action. The white smoke blown into the room was a weakening poison similar to a tranquilizer that could make anyone feel weak, asleep, and unable to control their Qi energy.After they had waited long enough, the four figures carefully opened the door to the room, now smiling at each other in satisfaction as they saw the targeted young man fast asleep, not realizing in the slightest that he was in danger."Take him! We'll kill him in the forest where Padre Virtue breathed his last. It won't take too long for one of the four shadows to carry the unconscious young man.Armed with the cultivation of the four people, all of whom were at Earth Practitioner Level 3 to 5, they jumped straight up and disappeared after moving several times across the roofs of other houses.The night passed quietly, and even the nighttime animals did not make any noise; it seemed that the Middle was also hiding
Afternoon in the Osmanthus Forest – Part I.
The afternoon sun was sinking into the western horizon, the yellowish-leaved trees, once lush, were now shedding their leaves with the fall season. The tips of the leafless branches, tapering toward the sky, almost blended with the color of the western horizon. It was brownish, a blend of apricot color and the color of old wheat.The wind blew softly, touching Guo Jiang's cheek, bringing a sense of familiarity, of homesickness.There was a young man who stood firmly, with a steady stance, majestically visible among the piles of dried leaves, some yellow and some brown.Sometimes the wind blew his hair, some of which fell over his cheeks, making him look even more mysterious.Suddenly, a strange and foreign-sounding language broke the silence as the young man shouted, "Vindangreb!"Unexpectedly, a powerful, tempest-like attack wind emerged from the void. It quickly formed hundreds of invisible swords, moving swiftly through the air, now slicing and tearing through a pile of dry leaves
Master Spirit of Moon – Part II.
Mr. Zhao Long's face immediately brightened. He felt proud when Guo Jiang mentioned that this painting must have been bought at a high price.He couldn't hide his pride in affording this expensive painting."Ah, young man, there's no need to ask about how expensive I bought the painting. But if I mention how much I exchanged, you would be very surprised," said Mr. Zhao Long, trying to be modest. Meanwhile, Guo Jiang only nodded his head."I took out 25,000 mid-rank blue mana crystals during the auction of the painting in a neighboring country," Mr. Zhao Long continued, his nose flaring with pride.Realizing that Mr. Zhao Long was eager for praise regarding his good taste in art, Guo Jiang praised the chief again.The smile on Mr. Zhao Long's face widened even more after being praised by Guo Jiang.'This young man is really good at winning people over,' Mr. Zhao Long thought. His hand moved, opening the drawer under his desk.Now he unceremoniously handed over a small tube suspected of
Master Spirit of Moon – Part I.
Guo Jiang observed the painting once again. He watched the face of the Master, the gray-robed Refiner, closely. His face looked very mysterious, as if the Refiner wanted to convey a message.The Refiner's eyes in the painting seemed to speak to Guo Jiang, urging him to "pay attention to the direction of my sword!"The sword in his right hand seemed to be pointing toward the large lake at the bottom of the cliff in the painting.'Hm... there is a small forest by the lake, and there is also an island in the middle of the lake. So beautiful and lifelike,' Guo Jiang thought.For some reason, Guo Jiang became interested in observing the painting more closely. His face was now two feet away from the painting."Owh..." Guo Jiang muttered under his breath.In fact, as he got closer and observed more carefully, he noticed that at the edge of the forest, there was a painting of a group of horses frolicking happily.However, what intrigued him even more was one horse in the painting, depicting a
A Painting on the Wall – Part II.
In a room provided for the law bureau and the family protectors of the empire, Guo Jiang was seen standing while Mr. Zhao Long sat at his desk.There were not too many decorations and ornaments that made the large room look impressive, but there were many portraits of figures who seemed to be the best representatives of the law bureau throughout history.Guo Jiang observed the ancient painting depicting a swordsman performing sword techniques on a high cliff filled with willow and peach trees.The face of the man in the painting looked majestic, as if the world was bowing to him. As he looked closer, Guo Jiang found a slight resemblance to the face of the great man in the painting. His face seemed similar to that of his mentor, the Gray Refiner."You seem to be interested in that painting, young man," said Zhao Long."Do you know who that young man is, or at least have you heard the story about him?" asked Mr. Zhao Long.Guo Jiang had promised his mentor, the Gray Robe Refiner, long a
A Painting on the Wall – Part I.
Padre Mu is a religious expert from the White Lotus Temple who serves as a spiritual tutor in the imperial palace. His cultivation level is at Earth Realm Level 3.A thin smile was etched on the face of Mr. Zhao Long, the Head of the Imperial Law Bureau of the Golden Pegasus. There has long been rivalry between the Law Bureau and the White Lotus Sect.Only the Law Bureau acts as the Emperor's right hand. However, over time, the White Lotus Sect, which established the worship temple, won the hearts of the imperial palace, and the White Lotus Cult was believed in by the Emperor and the palace relatives.The White Lotus Sect gradually took over many important powers in the empire, and the Head of the Law Bureau often clashed or disagreed with the side of the White Lotus Temple.Now, it was not surprising to reveal that a priest, or what was called a kind-hearted priest in that temple, was actually the flower-picking demon who was the enemy of the entire nation. It was clear that Mr. Zhao
The Man with the Four Coffins – Part II.
"That's right, Mr. Zhao Long. My name is Guo Jiang. You know that I'm the young Cultivator Rogue who took on the mission of capturing dead or alive The Flower-Picking Villain. And as per the mission given to all cultivator detectives, today I bring that flower-picker criminal for you to verify. Afterward, I expect the compensation that the law firm promised," Guo Jiang said.Mr. Zhao Long looked deeply at Guo Jiang, and in three blinks of an eye, he said, "Good job, young man. I would appreciate it even more if you could show me proof that this Padre of Goodness is The Flower-Picking Villain. To accuse a Padre like this is very dangerous if it is not accompanied by strong evidence."Guo Jiang, without saying much, then waved his hand, and a fierce wind blew, making the other three coffins burst open.The situation became even more chaotic after seeing the three lifeless figures. What was even more frightening was that two of them were the favorite disciples of the two major sects in t
