“What?”Li Shen’s brows furrowed even more as he stared at his father.“You're holding back yourself in fear of the possibility that your friends could get hurt. That’s a poor excuse and I’m disappointed.”Li Shen got irritated.“So your saying me revealing my ability to cultivate won’t be without repercussions? That I won’t have anyone targeting me if I’m not in the Academy or Clan? Even my friends will face the same amount of danger, all because I was careless enough to put them in that danger. Don’t tell me protecting my friends is a poor excuse!!”Li Shen yelled those last few words at his father.He knew what his father was trying to say. That he shouldn’t let his desire to protect Jun and everyone else weigh him down.But it’s not!He was still improving and although his cultivation had stagnated at the Sea Expansion realm he now knew a way to overcome it. His Seven Sins plum blossom had made leaps of improvement and not to mention his physical strength and his Heavenly Cultivat
Li Shu turned his head to Fulong and asked with a confused expression.“How so?”“Well, his desire to protect them will be the driving force to become stronger. Just leave him be, he cannot become a Guardian Elder. Focus on your other son, if he’s able to use the token my nephew’s daughter gave him in the Celestial Academy, then he’ll be able to walk the Heaven Suppressing Bridge when it appears.”“For our clan to go without a Guardian Elder this generation, is that alright?”Li Shu asked in an unsure tone.Fulong was silent for a moment then said.“Our Li Clan has always had two or more Guardian Elders during the reign of an Emperor. Elder brother was the fourth Emperor while sister and I were chosen as Guardian Elders. Now that sister has left that only leaves me. I will remain here, I’m not like the others who seek to discover our origins.”Li Shu hearing Fulong’s decision was feeling regretful.“Don’t feel regret, your son has too much potential to be stuck guarding the clan. Isn’
“So your Ming Clan is faking the attacks of the Demonic Cult?”“Yes, I wasn’t aware of our involvement with them but recently secret meetings between a group of unknown people and our Elders have increased. I found out those were Elders of the Top 3 Demonic Sects.”While the Demonic Cult was moving against the various academies and clans, secret dealings were happening between them and the Ming Clan behind clothes doors.Li Shen tapped his fingers on the table he was sitting at.As a member of the Righteous Faction, the Ming Clan allying with the Demonic Cult would be shocking news if it were to be leaked.Li Shen's eyes narrowed while thinking of what to do with this information.“Did you find out what their deals are and why they would work with the Demonic Cult?”Weisheng shook his head and said.“Forgive me Young Master, I was unable to find out that information, but I did find out that my Clan is teaching members of the Demonic Cult the cultivation path we have developed.”‘Of co
Without missing a beat Mu Fan stepped forward.His eyes flash with an imperceptible light as the jade slip in his hand glowed, allowing him to pass through the membrane and disappear into a separate dimension.The next person was Fang Chen. He clenched his fists and his expression became resolute as if he had made up his mind about something.Soon Fei Yin and Lihua entered, leaving only Li Shen, Yang Su, and Jun.Just as Yang Su was about to enter, Li Shen said."It's possible that you can form all six Qi Sea of the elements while inside, but be careful."Jun spoke up too.That's right, be safe senior brother."Yang Su smiled and said."Everyone sees this as an opportunity to improve their strengths, I'll try my best to not fall behind the others. If that means going through a sea of danger then I'm willing to do so."Li Shen let out a sigh upon hearing Yang Su's words.Jun wore a complicated expression on his face as he watched Yang Su's back while he disappeared. His fist involuntar
Jun who was watching all of this play out was looking on with a complex expression. Yang Su’s words echoed in his mind and something within him was being ignited.‘I won’t be left behind. Even though my cultivation is gone I’ll get it back, no, I’ll surpass my previous cultivation. And if anything when I meet them again I’ll be stronger than everyone.’Jun didn’t know it, but everyone had the same mindset as him. They were all aiming to become the strongest of the group, to be the one who achieves the most during this seclusion training.It was a competitive spirit that was developing between them and would soon come to define their friendship as a group.Li Shen looked up at the sky and let out a sigh at this outcome.However, a sort of relaxed feeling was felt in his chest. For once, just this one time, he won’t think about everyone close to him.‘Just let me be selfish this once. Then I’ll go back to caring-Li Shen.’Something heavy he hadn’t noticed before fell off his shoulder as
ROAR!!A loud roar that caused the world to tremble echoed out.However…Bang!Li Shen who was sitting on the back of the great white ape knocked it over its head with his knuckles.“Accept your defeat fair and square, what’s with your sour attitude?”The great white snarled but a depressed look soon overcame its monkey features.Jun stared on with shining eyes as the match came to an end. During the battle, he had seen numerous techniques being used by the ape. He couldn't help but remain in a trance-like state long after the match was over.He hadn’t realized when the platform he was standing on drifted over to Li Shen and the ape.The giant Li Shen looked down at a tiny Jun and waited for him to come to.After a while, Jun blinked and his glazed eyes focused as he looked up at Li Shen. Being so close he could sense the oppressive aura his Master was released by just sitting there.“Did you gain some insights?”His voice was loud in Jun’s ears and his body shook a little.“I have Ma
The girl pouted even more, but she soon turn her gaze onto Jun.Who is this, is he another human?”“He’s my disciple, I need the second origin leaf for him.”Under the emerald gaze of the little girl, Jun felt strangely exposed.“Oh, it looks like he has some kind of physique. It’s not as weird as yours, but do all humans have strange physiques like this?”The little girl floated from the tree branch to come closer to Jun and start examining him like he was the strange existence between the both of them.“Not all humans have innate physiques, I was just lucky to find him.”The little girl stared at Jun for a bit longer, then said.“He doesn’t have a cultivation like you, how is he going to enter the Avian Tower when even you couldn’t?”“I have a way, I just need to get in.”The little girl hearing that frowned but she soon sigh and said while holding her hips.“Big brother Shen, you have to promise that you will play with me before you leave.”Li Shen scratched his cheek and said.“I
Li Shen’s body slowly drifted towards the floating Island that had the Kun Peng along with its wings outstretched above it.It strangely wasn't being held up by anything and was simply hovering there in the air.As Jun got closer his gaze never left the statue. He saw a twinkle in its eyes that for a second made him have the hallucination that it was alive.Li Shen’s feet soon come to land on the floating island which itself was by no means small, but at the same time wasn't overly large as well.Like the other islands, it consisted of main and side Palaces with numerous pavilions inside. Everything was pure golden in color, giving one the feeling that some celestial being wanted to show off its insurmountable wealth.At the front, two large pillars were situated as if to welcome all visitors, but if one senses were sharp one could feel some sort of invisible force that was preventing anyone from entering.It surrounded the entire island like a sleeping monstrosity was there guarding
So, that's the end of Book One."..."Are you mad?"..."Of course you are, I'm sorry."Fuck you, Author..."Wah! I'm really sorry!!*start groveling and begging for forgiveness.*For those of you who haven't seen it in the last chapter(it's not like I didn't put it in the title.) I made the decision to end Book One here, right on the edge of a massive cliff... don't kill me haha, I swear I'll write Book Two.Oh, did you see the title of Book Two? If not here it is again... BOOK TWO: War Of Continents... coming soon.I always intended to split this novel into separate books, but I never planned on stopping Book One here. At first, I made the decision to go on hiatus, but then as I read over the last few chapters I realized this was somewhat of a good place to end Book One... please don't kill me.For all the readers who have reached this point... thank you.I've been writing this book for over a year now. Arguably I haven't posted much in the last three months, but we don't talk about t
When Gu Min landed in front of him, Yang Su stood there staring at him with a blank expression while tears ran down his cheeks.“What, you won't even come running to hug me after not seeing me for so long? You always did when we were little. Or have you grown too big now? You’re almost as tall as I am.”Gu Min said this jokingly, but Yang Su could only lower his head and began wiping his tears.Gu Min walked up to him and hugged him.“It’s okay, why are you crying?”“I-I thought you died because of me. And Mom and Dad, they…”“Did they blame you?”A sad expression appeared on Gu Min’s face, but Yang Su shook his head.“No, after they thought you died they wouldn’t let me out of their sights. It's because of you that I couldn’t even set foot outside of the house.”Gu Min cracked a smile when he heard his little brother’s words.“I’m sorry I didn’t come home, I-”“It’s fine.”Yang Su suddenly said cutting off Gu Min.“As long as you’re fine I don’t care if I never see you again, I just
Ling Tian was in the sky scanning the crowd of disciples down below.His heart was filled with both anger and frustration.Soon, his gaze stopped on a figure that was trying to blend into the crowd as much as possible.But despite the hood hiding their appearance, Ling Tian knew exactly who this person was.In a fit of rage and worry, he bolted toward this person.On the ground, Li Shen looked at Yang Su and asked.“Yang Su, what do you mean, is that person your older brother?”Everyone in the group heard this and they all turned to look at Yang Su.Yang Su nodded and said.“He looks slightly different, but I’m sure that’s him.”While Xian was smiling off to the side, Mu Fan glanced at Yang Su’s brother in the air and scowled.“His hair is ever redder than yours, how revolting.”Jun frowned and elbowed Mu Fan to shut up.As Yang Su continued to look at his brother he started to become more agitated.He was skeptical of Xian’s words before but now that he saw his brother he was overcom
Mu Fan placed everyone down before they all glared at Xian.Xian shrugged his shoulders in response.Jun was about to comment on Xian being here, but Li Shen placed a hand on his shoulder.“Look after Lu Yue for me.”Hearing this, Jun turned to look at Lu Yue before hurrying over.Fei Yin hurried over as well, it looked like she had a few superficial wounds he was able to heal.Li Shen then looked at Xian and asked.“What’s the point of you joining? You seem to have a group of your own.”“Well, that doesn’t mean I can’t join yours right?”Li Shen went silent for a moment and then said.“I’ll think about it. For now, we should focus on why we were teleported here.”Xian turned to look at the front of the hall where a throne was before saying with narrowed eyes.“Isn’t it obvious my other half? Someone wants us here.”Hearing Xian’s words, everyone in the group had their expressions change.They suddenly had a bad feeling rise in their hearts. One that Mu Fan long had.“Master…?”Li She
“D-Damn it, what is happening now?!”Mu Fan cried out as he saw his fingers fading away.Li Shen looked over at him and then down at his own hand to see his fingers were fading away as well, and at a rapid pace at that.Li Shen then looked towards the sky to see that after shattering, what was revealed was a clear blue sky.The shattered fragments of the previous crimson sky were still hovering in the air, reflecting the blue sky above and the Fiery Dimension below at the same time.Looking away from this scene, Li Shen bent down to pick up Lu Yue and carry her bridal style. He then turned to Mu Fan and said.“It’s okay, we’re being teleported to the Hidden Fragmented Realm. Hold onto me.”Mu Fan hurriedly got up and place his overly large palms on Li Shen’s shoulders.Mu Fan then watched in curiosity as a strange black light with starry light in it spread from Li Shen’s body to cover both him and Lu Yue.“What kind of ability is this?”Mu Fan said looking around. It almost seemed as
“Stop being so dramatic, I barely touched you.”Li Shen said as he gave Mu Fan who was on the ground a cursory glance.Mu Fan wined.“It is you. Bastard, do you want to get hit in the head and see how it feels?”Mu Fan then glared at Li Shen, but in response, Li Shen merely rolled his eyes and then turn back to check on an unconscious Lu Yue.Mu Fan also turned to her and asked.Is she going to be alright?”“If we can get to Jun in time, then everything will be fine.”“Is that why you let those bastards get away?”Mu Fan said as he watch Gu Jin and Shiming fly away with the rest of the Fire Empire’’s disciples and Ming Clan members.Li Shen shifted his head to look in their direction before turning back to Lu Yue.“There will come a time when they can longer run away from me, but that time hasn’t come yet. Rather, you should be healing your injuries before thinking about fighting in your condition.”“It merely scratches, I’m fine!”Mu Fan said confidentially, but Li Shen suddenly saw
“You fucker, I’ll definitely kill you for this!!”Shiming’s face was deathly pale, but intense hatred was evident in his eyes.“Huh? How are you going to do that when you’re going to see King Yama?”Mu Fan kicked Shiming’s severed arm that held his saber to the side as he walked towards him.Shiming manage to stop his bleeding and he held his stump as he slowly got up.A crazed look was in his eyes that matched Mu Fan’s own.Mu Fan didn’t care and he rushed to lop off his head like he promised he would.He appeared in front of Shiming and did a horizontal slash.However, a crazed Shiming suddenly grasp the void and a red illusory blade appeared in his remaining hand.Swoosh!Shiming swung it towards Mu Fan’s incoming saber and a Blade Energy no weaker than Mu Fan’s own swept out.BANG!A loud explosion occurred that caused the ground beneath the two to form a massive crater.Shiming was seen flying out of the dust that had risen in the area.Even when he called on his own Blade Will h
Shiming wasn’t in a hurry as he flew over to where Mu Fan was.Previously when Mu Fan had reached this location and realized he had found Lu Yue, he didn’t hesitate to start hacking.Now laying around him were numerous bloody corpses of the Fire Empire Disciples. But of course, there were also disciples who came from various small Sects that were transported here with Lu Yue. A few disciples in the group Mu Fan came with had died too.Mu Fan frowned at this sight.Something didn’t feel right to him. He loved hacking these fuckers for what they were doing, but this type of massacre irked him.It’s as if it was all planned.Mu Fan didn’t know, but he could vaguely sense something was wrong.As Mu Fan was feeling repulsed by this massacre, Shiming’s voice echoed behind him.“Why do I always have to deal with you?”Mu Fan slowly turned to see Shiming land not too far away from him. His eyes narrowed.“You don’t have to worry about that for too long. Once I lop off your head then you never
Gu Jin would send out a fist or a palm strike towards Lu Yue and she would counter it with her Sword Technique.However, she would be blown back and injured every time.After a few more of this, Lu Yue realized that she was getting further away from the battle.Gu Jin had purposely brought them here.“Are you just now realizing the situation you’re in?”Gu Jin said with a laugh.Lu Yue had fallen to the ground and as she slowly got up, Gu Jin’s gaze roamed over her slightly disheveled body.It didn’t take a genius to understand what was going on.However, Lu Yue seemed unphased despite the blood at the corner of her lips and was even weak to the point where she had to lean on her sword for support.Looking at Gu Jin, she said.“And it seems you haven’t realized the situation you're in yet.”Upon hearing that, Gu Jin frowned.However, a moment later his expression changed.Inside his body, he sensed several strands of frigid energy slowly circulating in his meridians.If it weren’t for
