Chen Wu grasped the crystal with deep gratitude. “I will remember your advice, Master. Thank you for your trust and these gifts.”

However, just as he turned to leave, Elder Yuan Tian raised a hand, stopping him in his tracks.

“Wait, Chen Wu.” His voice was gentle yet firm.

Chen Wu turned back, his expression respectful. “Is there something else, Master?”

Yuan Tian fixed him with a sharp gaze, as though trying to ascertain the depth of his resolve. “From now on, do not call me Elder. As your mentor, you must call me Master.”

Those words left Chen Wu momentarily speechless. In a sect as grand as the Heavenly Light Sect, having one of the principal elders as a personal mentor was an extraordinary honor—but also an immense responsibility. After processing Yuan Tian’s words, Chen Wu bowed deeply.

“Yes, Master. I will honor your guidance with all my heart.”

Yuan Tian nodded in satisfaction. “Good. Remember, my guidance will not be easy. I will not only teach you to balance light and darknes

    Chen Wu trained diligently throughout the day in the training hall. The bright sunlight began to fade, signaling the approach of evening. Sweat poured down his face, but his gaze remained full of determination.Yuan Tian, observing from a distance with his crystal staff, finally spoke up. “Chen Wu, that’s enough for today. Go wash up and follow me later.”Chen Wu stopped his movements and caught his breath. He looked at his teacher curiously. “Where are we going, Master?”Yuan Tian rolled his eyes and sighed. “Do you always have to ask? I told you to just follow me! No more questions.”Chen Wu chuckled slightly, trying to hide his amusement. “Alright, Master. But wouldn’t it be better if you told me so I can prepare?”Yuan Tian raised an eyebrow at him. “Prepare? All you need is a clean body and a brain free of unnecessary questions. Hurry up and wash before I send you there reeking of sweat!”Chen Wu, who was usually serious, couldn’t hold back his smile. “Fine, Master. I’ll prepare

    Chen Wu stood at the edge of the Lake of Clear Light, his breathing steady. The golden glow of the water before him appeared soothing, yet the spiritual energy radiating from it weighed heavily on his body, as if the entire realm demanded harmony from him before granting him entry.Yuan Tian sat on a large rock not far away, his posture relaxed but watchful. His crystal staff stood beside him, emitting a soft glimmer that contrasted with his sharp gaze.“Chen Wu,” Yuan Tian called out. “The first step of this training is simple: enter the lake, align your energy, and let the water accept your presence. But be warned—if you try to resist the lake’s energy, you’ll only be thrown out like a child failing a basic test.”Chen Wu swallowed hard but didn’t show hesitation. “Understood, Master. I’ll give it a try.”With steady steps, Chen Wu entered the lake. As his feet touched the water’s surface, a cold sensation mixed with a warm current enveloped his body. He closed his eyes, allowing th

    Chen Wu leaped to the side, evading the first attack. He quickly raised the Dark Sword, channeling his energy into it. The sword’s dark aura glowed faintly, creating a circle of energy around him.However, the Serpent Beast was no easy opponent. It coiled its massive body around Chen Wu, attempting to crush him with immense force. Chen Wu swiftly used his sword to slash at the serpent’s tough scales, but his strikes weren’t deep enough to inflict significant damage.“Focus, Chen Wu!” Yuan Tian’s voice finally rang out. “Balance your power. Light and darkness must work together, not disrupt each other!”Gritting his teeth, Chen Wu recalled the lessons he had learned throughout the day. With steady breaths, he concentrated on the energy of the Heavenly Light Crystal stored within him. Slowly, the dark aura of the Dark Sword began to mix with a soft, luminous glow, creating a more stable and potent energy.When the Serpent Beast lunged at him again, Chen Wu stepped forward with newfound

    A month had passed since Chen Wu began his training with Yuan Tian in the Shadowed Forest. His days were filled with rigorous training, mental trials, and battles that tested his physical and spiritual limits. Yet, his hard work bore fruit.From a distance, Yuan Tian observed Chen Wu meditating. His aura radiated with newfound strength, evidence of his astonishing progress."He's reached Earth Realm, Star Seven in just one month," Yuan Tian muttered, stroking his beard. "Truly a rare talent."Hearing this, Chen Wu opened his eyes and smirked confidently. "Master, what are you thinking? Don't tell me you're mesmerized by me?"Yuan Tian scoffed, shooting him a sharp glance. "Mesmerized? You think I'm impotent or something?"Chen Wu froze for a moment, shocked at his master’s blunt words. He tried to stifle his laughter but eventually burst out laughing."Master, your words are truly unpredictable!" Chen Wu said, clutching his stomach.Yuan Tian clicked his tongue, but the faint curve of

    Without another word, one of the three cultivators attacking the young man stepped forward confidently. He wielded a massive golden sword that radiated a powerful aura. “Kid, don’t play hero! You’ll regret this decision.”Chen Wu smirked, raising his sword. “Try me if you think you can make me regret it.”The cultivator launched a fierce attack, his sword swing generating a wave of energy that swept through the surrounding trees. But Chen Wu skillfully dodged to the side, evading the attack with ease.“You’re all brute force,” Chen Wu taunted. “No technique at all.”Feeling insulted, the cultivator unleashed a flurry of attacks. Chen Wu, however, moved with agility, relying on the intense training he had undergone with Yuan Tian. After a few moments, he spotted an opening and seized the opportunity.With one swift motion, Chen Wu slashed at his opponent’s side, causing the man to lose his balance. Before the man could recover, Chen Wu sheathed his sword and delivered a powerful kick,

    Chen Wu gripped his sword tightly, his sharp eyes fixed on the pack of wolves closing in. Behind him, Li Feng stood tense, clutching his small dagger with trembling hands."Li Feng, focus and don't panic," Chen Wu said calmly. "Their attacks may seem wild, but they follow a pattern. If you can read that pattern, you'll know when to strike."Li Feng nodded, though his face was still pale with fear. "I'll try, Chen Wu."Without warning, a smaller wolf lunged at them from the left. Chen Wu swiftly swung his sword, intercepting the attack with ease. At the same moment, two more wolves attacked from the front and rear.Chen Wu spun gracefully, swinging his sword in a circular motion that unleashed a wave of dark energy. The two wolves yelped in pain as they were flung back."You need to stay vigilant, Li Feng," Chen Wu reminded. "They attack in coordination."Li Feng took a deep breath, steeling himself. When another wolf tried to rush in from the right, he managed to stab it in the belly

    Chen Wu and Li Feng ventured deeper into the Black Mist Mountains after successfully obtaining the Earth Spirit Flower. The mist grew thicker, and the spiritual energy around them felt increasingly heavy. Li Feng tried to keep his steps steady, but fear still lingered in his heart."Chen Wu, do you think we'll be attacked again?" Li Feng asked, his voice tinged with unease.Chen Wu glanced at him briefly while remaining alert. "Most likely. But don't worry too much. Just focus on your surroundings and be ready to fight at any moment."Li Feng nodded, though he wasn't entirely reassured. However, he knew that Chen Wu was the only reason he was still alive.After hours of walking, they arrived at an open area. In the center stood an ancient altar covered with intricate carvings. A powerful aura emanated from the altar, as if it were protecting something precious."What is that?" Li Feng muttered, his eyes wide.Chen Wu carefully examined the altar. At its center hovered a dark blue crys

    Meanwhile, Li Feng struggled against the two remaining cultivators. Despite his fear, he fought back with his dagger, relying on evasive maneuvers. However, a powerful strike sent him crashing to the ground, coughing up blood and barely clinging to consciousness.“Li Feng!” Chen Wu called out, glancing toward him.The brief distraction gave his opponents an opening. One of the poisoned blades slashed his arm, forcing Chen Wu to retreat and create some distance. A sharp sting began spreading, but he gritted his teeth, staying focused.The woman in the purple robe smirked with satisfaction. “You’re finally struggling. If only you had surrendered earlier, none of this would have been necessary.”Chen Wu ignored her taunts, taking a deep breath as he summoned his spiritual energy. Activating a technique his master had taught him—the Absolute Shadow Blade Strike—his sword’s aura thickened, radiating an overwhelming pressure that froze his opponents momentarily.In one swift motion, he unle

    The corridor grew heavier with each step. After the fierce battle against Yue Sha and the shadow creatures, Chen Wu, Lan Mei, and Liu Yin remained vigilant. The air around them trembled subtly, as if something unseen was lurking in the darkness."The energy here is shifting…" Liu Yin whispered, his fingers gripping the ancient map tightly. "We're getting closer to the main chamber."Lan Mei ran her hand along the stone walls, which now felt warmer. "There's a power flowing through this place… like something is waiting for us."Chen Wu unsheathed his sword, his sharp eyes scanning the narrowing path ahead. "Whatever it is, we need to be ready."They continued forward until the corridor opened into a vast chamber. In its center stood an ancient altar, adorned with glowing inscriptions. Floating above it, a black tome hovered slowly, surrounded by swirling dark energy."The Shadow Heaven Codex…" Liu Yin murmured, his voice filled with both awe and trepidation.Before they could take anot

    The long, dark stone corridor welcomed them. A damp, ancient scent filled the air. The dim light from glowing crystals on the walls provided faint illumination, casting eerie shadows that danced along the passage.“We must stay alert,” Chen Wu whispered, his eyes sharply scanning every corner. “Yue Sha won’t let us walk through easily.”They moved cautiously, the echo of their footsteps reverberating down the hallway. Liu Yin tightly gripped the ancient scroll, trying to decipher the symbols carved into the walls. “These symbols... they look like protective spells. This place is guarded by ancient powers.”Lan Mei nodded, her fingertips brushing against one carving that radiated warmth. “The energy is pure... but something feels off.”BRUAAK!Suddenly, the wall behind them collapsed, sealing off their exit. Black mist swirled from the rubble, forming a tall figure with glowing red eyes.Yue Sha emerged from the shadows, her silver mask gleaming menacingly in the crystal light. “You’ve

    They began exploring the temple, following the clues from the ancient map. Every step was taken with caution, knowing that a single mistake could be fatal.In one of the chambers, they discovered an altar adorned with strange symbols. Atop the altar lay a small wooden box, encrusted with gemstones.“That must be the key,” Liu Yin whispered.But before they could take it, a rustling sound made them turn around. From the shadows, figures clad in black emerged—members of the Hai Clan.“We've been expecting you,” said their leader, a masked man with a hoarse voice.Chen Wu unsheathed his sword. “The Hai Clan. I should’ve known you wouldn’t let us go so easily.”A battle erupted. Chen Wu and Lan Mei fought the Hai Clan members with all their strength. Swords clashed, energy exploded around them, and the room trembled under the unleashed power.Meanwhile, Liu Yin attempted to grab the wooden box. But as soon as he touched it, a trap was triggered. The floor beneath him opened, revealing a p

    In the middle of a dense forest in the southern region, Chen Wu and Lan Mei stopped briefly to catch their breath. The sound of a small stream nearby was calming, but the atmosphere between them remained tense. The aftermath of the battle in Thousand Lights City still lingered, and they knew that their next move would determine their fate.Lan Mei sat on a large rock, cleaning the bloodstains from her sword. "We can't keep going like this, Chen Wu. Every time we move, they always find us. The Hai Clan won't stop until they capture you."Chen Wu stood at the riverbank, gazing at the flowing water with sharp eyes. "I know. But we have no other choice. The Heavenly Shadow Tome is the key to uncovering the truth I've been searching for. If the Hai Clan wants it, that means they know something we don't."Lan Mei sighed. "But is it worth the risk we're taking? The Hai Clan is not an opponent we can underestimate. Hai Yushuang clearly has a bigger plan, and she won’t stop until she gets what

    Inside a grand hall illuminated by dazzling crystal lights, a young woman sat on the main seat. She wore a red robe embroidered with gold, her long hair neatly tied, and her sharp eyes exuded dominance.In front of her, a man knelt with his head lowered. "Young Miss, we have confirmed that Chen Wu has left the Heavenly Light Sect and is currently in Thousand Lights City."The Young Miss of the Hai Clan—Hai Yushuang—smiled faintly, but behind that smile lay a dangerous intent. "So he finally left..."She held a teacup in her hand and took a slow sip. "And what about the people we sent?"The man swallowed before replying. "They... failed. Chen Wu killed them all."CRACK!The teacup in Hai Yushuang's hand cracked, spilling tea onto her fingers, but she didn't care. "As expected, he's not easy to deal with. But that doesn't matter."She stood and looked out the window. "He's always been a thorn in my side. This time, I won't let him escape."Her eyes gleamed coldly."Prepare our best peop

    Chen Wu and Lan Mei stood at the gates of the Heavenly Light Sect, gazing at the vast expanse of mountains stretching before them. The morning air was fresh, but in their hearts, there was an undeniable tension.Elder Xuan, along with several sect elders, accompanied them to the exit."The journey into the outer world will not be easy," Elder Xuan said with wisdom in his voice. "You must always be vigilant, especially against powerful organizations like the Sky Alliance, the Blood Demon Clan, and, of course, the Shadow Black Sect."Chen Wu nodded. "We understand, Elder."Lan Mei smiled faintly. "We will return one day, bringing glory to this sect."Elder Xuan chuckled. "I look forward to that day."After their final bow, Chen Wu and Lan Mei stepped out of the sect. With each step, they moved further away from the place they had called home.The Black Mist ForestSeveral days of smooth travel passed until they finally reached the Black Mist Forest—a place notorious for its natural pois

    Chen Wu continued staring at the empty hall entrance after the departure of the silver-haired man and his companions. Though his body felt exhausted, his mind was filled with countless questions.Who exactly was the Shadow Sect? And why were they interested in him?Lan Mei grasped his arm, her face full of concern. "You really need to be careful, Chen Wu. People like them don’t come without a reason."Chen Wu nodded. "I know. But I can’t just sit back without finding out what’s really going on."Lan Mei was silent for a moment before letting out a deep sigh. "Alright. If you really want to investigate, then I’m coming with you."Chen Wu gave a faint smile. "Thank you, Lan Mei."Before they could discuss further, an elderly man in the sect’s elder robes entered the hall. His face, usually calm and wise, now bore a trace of concern."Chen Wu," he called in a firm voice.Chen Wu immediately bowed in respect. "Elder Xuan."Elder Xuan observed the disciples still gathered in the hall befor

    Chen Wu remained standing in place, feeling the throbbing pain from his wounds. Lan Mei supported him anxiously."We need to get you treated," she said.Chen Wu shook his head. "I'm fine. These aren't serious wounds."Lan Mei sighed, knowing how stubborn Chen Wu could be. "At the very least, we need to find out who that cloaked man was. He’s not an ordinary person."Chen Wu nodded. "I want to know too. But more importantly, he called this the 'first test.' That means more tests are coming."Lan Mei bit her lip. "Then we need to prepare. I won’t let you face this alone."They returned to the sect’s headquarters, where they trained. However, as they arrived, the atmosphere felt strange. The air was thick with tension, and several disciples whispered among themselves with anxious expressions.Chen Wu stopped a passing disciple. "What's going on?"The disciple looked at him seriously. "Visitors from an outside sect have arrived. They want to meet the most talented disciples."Chen Wu exch

    Chen Wu stood silently in the middle of the training ground, his mind filled with questions. The mysterious old man had appeared like a storm, delivering a lesson he had never expected. Despite his exhaustion, a stronger fire burned within him."Truly worthy of a technique to combat darkness," Chen Wu muttered, recalling the old man's words. But who was he, really? And what did he mean by ‘a more challenging test’?The next day, Chen Wu tried to return to his routine. He focused on basic techniques to calm his mind. However, something felt different. Every movement he performed now carried a depth he had never perceived before. It was as if the old man had opened a door to a new understanding."Focus on balance," he reminded himself, recalling the old man’s lesson. He tried to harmonize his attacks and defenses into one seamless flow. Each punch and kick he practiced felt more precise and powerful.But before he could immerse himself completely in his training, a voice broke his conce
