It was a rather cloudy day in the Cloud Sword Sect Mountain Range. The air was really cold as autumn would soon change to Snow season. Everyone was busy preparing for the coming winter. Preparations included gathering firewood for the cold weather and stocking up on food and other durable materials that would be needed during the winter.

In one of the Cloud Sword Sect's worker disciple huts, Yuan Fen was still vigorously striving in his cultivation process to reach the Five Mortal Realm. Currently, he was feeling extremely frustrated as there were no signs that he would manage to break through the defenses blocking his cultivation progress.

"Do I really have to return to the Fairy Cliff Forest?" lamented Yuan Fen.

After thinking for a while, he felt that going to the Fairy Cliff Forest was the only way to reach the Five Mortal Realm in the near future. Moreover, the recruitment day of the Sect Outer Court Students would arrive in 2 weeks.

"It's likely that the only way is to search fo

    "A lonely night with a dead moon illuminated Yuan Fen, who stood alone in the forest. Suddenly, he felt startled, hearing a whisper in his ear. Confused, he turned around and exclaimed, 'Who is it...?'But there was no answer. The forest remained as silent as before.'Did I hear that voice talking about the 5 Sword Kings' Sword Technique and War Chant?' Yuan Fen felt confused. Could this be the chant that Fengyin used to sing? Impossible.Saluting and apologizing, he spoke to those who might be observing him within the forest. Yuan Fen was sure something greater was behind these events, that had been observing his steps on the Fairy Cliff.'What do I know, this forest is the result of a treaty between humans and the Xianren race?' he thought. 'The battle and the song I sang must have interfered.'Suddenly, a coughing sound was heard. The shadow of a person began to appear from within the forest. The man was very handsome, but his appearance was unfamiliar and strange. His hair was a m

    "Mercy, Elder. I beg you to assign a task to me. I, Yuan Fen, am ready to obey the orders and accept your punishment. I know I have made a mistake by peeking at your sword techniques and even using them in battle," Yuan Fen said humbly.Yuan Fen had a sportsmanlike nature and did not hesitate to admit fault if he was guilty.Yuan Fen's attitude visibly moved Suma Chen. He replied, "Alright, seeing your chivalrous spirit and sportsmanship in admitting fault, I will forgive you. I spare your life."However, Suma Chen gave an understanding, "Please remember, only Elven descendants or direct disciples of the Suma family are allowed to use this Snow Lotus Pure Heart sword technique."Suma Chen, with regret, replied, "I am very sorry. However, I must paralyze your cultivation. I see tremendous potential in you, and I believe you will become one of the outstanding geniuses in this Northern Region."Yuan Fen asked further, "Except what, honorable Elder? I am ready to do anything. Just let me

    "Please accept this Peony Flower Token. The Peony Token symbolizes royalty in the Elven world. When the Elven people see this token, the bearer is honored and respected because it represents a Duke among the Elves," Suma Chen said as he gave the token to Yuan Fen."When you visit the Elven world sometime in the future, take this Peony token. If you encounter any trouble, show this Peony. The Elves will respect you as they respect me as an Elven noble," Suma Chen added."However, you can only visit the Elven world when your cultivation level has reached the realm of the Spirit Condensation Realm. It is extremely risky for a Mortal Realm to pass through the spatial passage that connects the human and Elven worlds. With a Mortal Realm cultivation level like the one you have now, passing through the spatial passageway would only cause your body to be severely injured," Suma Chen explained with a gasp."When the time comes, and you are in the world of the Xianren domain, look for an Xianre

    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.

    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

    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

    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.

    Time passed like smoke. Suma Fen also passed through the training days quickly, not feeling the passage of time.Suma Fen had now completed his fifth step training in four months.With the principle of caution and the basic essence of understanding the Intangible Sword Element, Suma Fen understood the principles of the formless sword move more and more deeply.Although in the early days of training, he often tore apart flower after flower of Lanhua. In fact, all of his sword movements often broke the stems of the juicy Lanhua flowers.When that happened, a new flower had to be replaced, and the Yamazaki Hermit allowed him to leave the ruins and search for a new Lanhua flower at the edge of the forest.Long practicing with a single flower, everything had changed. The youngster looks like a flamboyant gentleman dancing with a fresh Lanhua flower in his right hand.He performs complex sword moves that, while seemingly ordinary, are actually the ultimate techniques of all sword techniques

  • Nine Unparalleled Sword Steps, Part II

    Suma Fen had not spent as long as when he had practiced using the long black iron. Although practicing with a young twig full of leaves was very difficult at first,—often the leaves would break off the twig, or tear, and so on—by the second month of training, he had managed to use the strange weapon without any damage to the leaves or anything else on the twig's stem.Suma Fen then entered the third stage of the third Nine Sword Steps, the purpose of which was to deal with enemies who used all combat weapons other than swords,...but were short-range attack weapons, such as spears, short swords, Guan Dao, and so on. There are 270 moves in the third step, with the direction changing by 270 degrees.By using the third step, all the short-range weapons in the world would fall at the feet of this technique.In this case, he is still required to use a young tree branch, which is full of fresh leaves and must take care that the leaves do not become damaged or torn.The fourth step is sword

    The Elf-like youngster was seen spinning around with a large object, which seemed to be a large, black, and heavy-looking piece of metal.But he was agilely spinning around practicing the first stroke of the Nine-Step Unmatched Sword technique.The first technique or move of the Nine-Step Unmatched Sword sequence is called the Beginning of the Sword.Within the Beginning of the Sword, there were 360 moves for the youngster (Suma Fen) to memorize, with all the moves spinning randomly, constantly changing within a 360-degree angle of range."The first thing is that you use this heavy iron as a weapon. You cannot stop practicing all the attacks of this peerless nine-step sword, if the iron in your hand has not been broken," Yamazaki Takejiro said.Meanwhile, Suma Fen was stunned."Making this shapeless iron break, just by using it to practice...Senior Yamazaki... Isn't this a bit impossible? How could I break this steel, without clashing or coming into contact with my fellow weapons?" a

    Lebiro Mao could not hide his thick jealousy as he saw the long light in Murong Genji's hand eventually transform into a single long sword, looking beautifully shimmering.The hilt of the sword was made of the precious material white gold. Meanwhile, when Murong Genji took out the sword that was the reward for her achievement in the last hall, the sword shone like gold, enveloping the entire sword that looked beautifully like a sword made of gems."Immortal Gold Rank Sword!" hissed Lebiro Mao enviously."That thing should be mine, not that demon woman's," Lebiro Mao scolded, his eyes watering with rage."Your turn now!" said Murong Genji after the gift from the last hall was in her hands, and in this, she was very satisfied.Murong Genji sneered with a contemptuous snort when she saw a whip-like, red-colored weapon, a sign that it was only a weapon of the lowest Immortal class.Such low Immortal weapons were rare, but Lebiro Mao could not shake the image of the Golden Immortal weapon

    "Go away! I'm warning you. If I take the sword out of its sheath, I can't guarantee that you'll live. It's unacceptable for a Murong Clan swordsman to sheath a sword before blood is shed!" Murong Genji snapped at Lebiro Mao.The two young future patriarchs of the Eastern Ghost Clan and the Murong Clan were seen staring at each other with killing force. Murong Genji unleashed the killing spirit of a level six SAGE expert, which quickly swept away Lebiro Mao's ruthless aura.Turn back some time, about a cup of tea earlier.At that time, Murong Genji was struggling to defeat the hungry ghost and the curious ghost when she was about to approach this final hall.All her sword slashes seemed to only scratch the two ghostly creatures and did not make them die instantly.When she was thinking of the best technique to speed up the elimination of the two ghosts, she suddenly felt a figure flashing past, taking advantage of her precarious situation when fighting against the two curious ghosts.I

    Now the old man turned to gawk at the sight of Suma Fen refusing his gift... All this time, he had felt that he was always being sought after for a piece of notice or a briefing on the seeker's martial arts. But this young man...He said in a curious tone,"Isn't this the thing you've been looking for? Why are you not even interested in receiving it now?" The old man then stomped his foot like he was annoyed. It seemed like he was amused by the youngster's foolishness."This? This shabby thing is what you refer to as a copy of the Eternal Cycle Knowledge and Truth?" Suma Fen asked back fiercely. He looked amused at the old and shabby-looking leather sheet.Plak! Ouch!Suma Fen was surprised to find that the old man had hit his head. Although it didn't result in any injuries, the blow stung his head.Suma Fen looked in amazement at the old man. During his career and journey through eternity, never once had someone been able to beat him up, without him himself feeling the wind of the bl

    Canine flicked his dragon wings, trying to dispel the small flames thrown by the man in blue. But Canine was only more surprised when instead of being extinguished, the black sparks engulfed his broad wings, which were still in dragon form.Canine forced himself to fly away from the room, passing through the hall's wide-open doors. Canine wondered if there would be some kind of lake out there that could help him extinguish the heavenly flames burning a quarter of his wingspan.Canine glanced in horror at how half of his left wing had turned to dust, and he accelerated his flight even more to avoid the man in blue.When Canine was at a loss to find a water source or something to extinguish the Black Flame that had spread and had now consumed half of the dragon's wing.Just then, the sound of jeering came from behind him, where the man in blue stood..."You are so naive, Canine Teeth. You weren't looking for water or a water source to put out that fire, were you?" the voice was now snee

    "Canine Teeth, the Young Patriarch of the Golden Witch Clan..." said Suma Fen as he turned his body.He looked deeply at the young Patriarch of the Golden Witch Clan while wearing a mysterious smile. His appearance in dark blue clothes further added to the mystical impression, making Canine frown.Meanwhile, this youngster named Canine Teeth looked a bit like his father, Flying Claw. With a tall, imposing stature and a charming look, Canine actually appeared handsome despite being taller than the average person.Perhaps because they were descendants of the Yelbeghen dragons, in addition to their tall stature, Canine's demeanor gave off an intimidating feeling with a faint aura of magic.Canine said once more, "After I remembered and took a good look... I remembered who you are.”“You are the person I saw on the night of the art performance at the Night Light Beauty Pavilion, who attended with the World Wandering Art Group?" asked Canine probingly.Meanwhile, Suma Fen still maintained
