In the West Wing of the Imperial Palace where the Emperor’s concubines stayed, in a courtyard, Lady Ying was standing in front of Tai saying her goodbyes.Li Ling was there as well, along with an older-looking Little Snow that was at least a head and a half taller than the almost thirteen Li Ling, the same height as Tai.“Are you sure you want to attend this Chosen Tournament?”Lady Ying asked Tai with a worried voice.Tai nodded with assurance and said confidently.“Aunty, I’m sure! And I already had uncle go out of his way to make me a Chosen, if I don’t go then I would have bothered him for nothing. Plus…”Tai paused here for a brief moment while sadness flashed past his eyes. He then softly continued.“Plus I’ve already searched the entire continent along with the Zhi Clan and our Faction members, I don’t think Master is here. If I go to the Star Bound Continent to participate in the Chosen Tournament, maybe I’ll find him there. The others are going for that reason as well, so I’l
A feeling of in-adequateness rose in Tang Long’s heart. He didn’t want her to be stronger than him, he wanted to protect Li Ling so she wouldn’t cry in the future, not the other way around.He needed to work harder in the future.“Good! That’s great Princess Li Ling.”Tang Long still said happily, and that was his true feelings. Maybe this would motivate him to cultivate harder and increase his cultivation.Li Ling frowned when she heard Tang Long call her Princess, but she only dash towards him and swung her sword at his head.Seeing this Tang Long smiled bitterly once again, and quickly went to block her somewhat vicious blow.Another reason why he couldn’t allow her cultivation to surpass his was because of her personality. Wouldn’t he be bullied by her when they got married? Although Li Ling was just using their betrothment for her own convenience, it didn’t look like she was entirely opposed to the idea.As this was going on, at the same time Little Snow and Tai were standing fac
Several thousand kilometers away from the Celestial Academy, there was a small mortal village that had a rather large volcano situated just outside of it. This volcano was worshiped by the villagers as their god. Inside the volcano, there were youths that were dressed in inconspicuous clothes while excavating the Divine Fire Spirit Stones. Among these youths were Li Minhua, Li Bai, and Li Anu. Even now they were excavating the Divine Fire Spirit Stones on Li Shen’s order. As for the mention of him being dead, they didn’t believe it. This was a similar trend among the people Li Shen interacted with. For some reason, they had blind faith that he was somewhere out there and hadn’t actually died. It was really strange, and it was hard for these people to express this weird feeling. They just know that there was something about Li Shen that would make them go. 'Ah, this person is really capable!' Li Shen always seemed to have a solution for everything and was never confused on how t
In the Inner Celestial Academy, Fang Chen was in a chamber that was sealed off from the outside world completely. He suddenly opened his eyes, and let out a sigh as a familiar dark miasma swirling around him calmed down.Fang Chen's emotions were restless and he couldn’t cultivate properly. His mind would always wander back to half a year ago.“What are you doing?”Mo Rong ignored Fang Chen’s questions as he stood up. However, Mo Fong's body suddenly began to shrink and he stopped at the size of around eight meters tall.Mo Rong then looked down at Fang Chen who was looking at him and said.“I’ve decided, you’ll be my successor.”“W-What?”Fang Chen asked as he instinctively took a step back.Seeing his actions, Mo Rong glared at him and said.“What, you don’t want to?”“No, I don’t want to become your successor. You hurt my friends when you were trying to kill us, and most of all I don’t want to be influenced by your vile nature. I don't want to become like you.”Fang Chen took sever
It was already the next day and the Continent was bustling with noise as the Mercenary Association’s first carrier was departing today. The Imperial City was no different.Inside a tavern close to the exit of the City, most if not all of the occupants were discussing something pertaining to the Chosen Tournament.Whether it was Lu Shin defending his number one spot against Monk Zimo, or the news of the various geniuses appearing across the continent. Every news was being discussed.At a corner of this noisy tavern, was a frowning Long Feng. He couldn’t care less for some backwater sub-region competition. Even though they had talents, would they amount to much if they can’t even leave this barren place?If it wasn’t for the things he came here for, Long Feng wouldn’t stay here for a second longer.Soon, Long Feng turn to Xiao and asked.“Little Xiao, did you find those Divine Beasts like you? How were they?”Little Xiao took the milk bottle from his mouth and responded.“They were olde
If they knew where Li Shen was in hiding, they wouldn’t send some random clan member to meet with him but an elder of their clan. And Long Feng would immediately sense if an expert like that left the Imperial City.He also left markers at the other exits of the City, but from his observations, this was the most commonly used exit of the City.But the problem was how long he needed to wait for such a thing to happen. It was a long shot and even he himself think this method was too unreliable.So after only a day, he opted to give up.Long Feng even speculated that the Li Clan actually didn’t know where that thief was sent to through that spatial tear.‘Is he even on this continent?’Long Feng suddenly thought about this problem as he got up.The thief was missing for over half a year but wasn’t found. That could very likely mean he was sent to another Continent.‘That’s if he wasn’t killed by the chaotic spatial laws in that spatial tear.’“Xiao let’s go, we're going to search the near
Seeing that Tai’s gaze was lingering on the fight between those two cultivators, Fang Chen asked curiously.“Do you know any of them?”Tai shook his head before responding.“No, but do you see that kid with the veil hat nearby? He’s actually a Divine Beast.”“Divine Beast?!”Fang Chen asked shocked while his gaze landed on Xiao who was some distance away from where Long Feng was fighting Zihan Cong.As soon as Fang Chen’s gaze landed on him, Xiao felt a chill run down his spine. His head immediately snapped in the direction of the shuttle.“Wh-Who’s gaze did that belong to?”As Xiao mumbled that, cold sweat dripped from his forehead. He felt like a predator of some sort was just staring at him as if he was prey to be devoured.Back on the shuttle, Fang Chen said again.“You’re right, it’s actually a Divine Beast, I can sense a familiar feeling from him like Mo Rong.”“Wait, you can tell that from this distance?”The distance between their shuttle and where Xiao was standing was at lea
“Lihua, tell my father that the Ming Clan has betrayed the Righteous Faction and joined forces with the Demonic Cult. I’ll leave our Faction in yours and Fei Yin’s hands since I'll be gone.”Without looking around, Lihua nodded at Li Shen’s spiritual message to her. She couldn’t bear to turn to look at him.But now, Lihua wished she had turned and looked back then. What kind of expression was he wearing as he faced death?Lihua wasn’t like the others who had blind confidence in Li Shen’s survival. She was logical in the way she thought and her conclusion was that Li Shen had died. Even if he had truly been able to open a spatial tear before that heaven-shaking power had appeared in the Heavenly Calamity, his soul was already fading away.Even if his body remained intact somehow, he would have already been dead, his soul having been dispersed.But, even as Lihua came to this logical conclusion, a part of her couldn’t help but wish for that conclusion to be wrong.Lihua sighed and looke
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
