Seeing Yang Su like this, Xi Shen blinked a few times, before he looked over his shoulder at the envelopes and asked, “Do you need help because of all these envelopes, what are they?”
Yang Su nodded at Xi Shen's words before saying, “Elder brother Xi Shen, they are invitations to join the various factions in the Sword Pavilion. Over the past few days after the Freshmen Disciple Competition, more and more people have been coming to our mansion to persuade me to join theirs. They even went so far as to start offering an exorbitant price for me to join.”
As Yang Su spoke his voice became more and more bemoaning.
After listening to Yang Su’s explanation, Xi Shen walked around him to the table with the pile of envelopes while saying, “So these people were trying to harass you into joining their Factions, even as going far as to offer money for you to join them?”

Xi Shen, upon hearing Bai Xiaofung’s words started to question whether his thoughts of him hiding another ingredient that contained the Chaos Qi was correct. Hearing his last sentence, his interest was piqued as he asked, “What do you mean that pill was normal for you? Have you concocted similar pills like that before?With a solemn expression on his child-like face, Bai Xiaofung nodded his head. Afterwards, a slightly embarrassed smile appeared on his face as he said, “I’m sure if the second prince asks about the walking calamity of the Bai Clan you’ll hear about all the stories revolving around my pill concoction endeavors. I don’t know why but every time I tried refining a pill, something strange happens. Massive lightning storms in broad daylight, a sudden change in temperature, and even one time when I was trying to concoct a simple Qi Gathering pill, all of the Qi within my Clan suddenly became chaotic to t
Alone now, Xi Shen then sunk into his thoughts once more, ‘I’ll definitely start keeping tabs on this Bai Xiaofung. The fact that he was able to cause such phenomenons when concocting pills using that pill furnace is extremely strange, especially since we're dealing with Chaos Qi. As for the pill furnace, I’ll have to find a way to get my hands on it. Hmm, I guess this explains the closeness shown by the Bai Clan and the Lin clan for the past few years. I glimpsed a piece of information in the secret archives that mention how the Lin Clan Patriarch's only daughter had joined the Sovereign Sword Faction, which is led by the eldest son of the Bai Clan Patriarch.’After thinking that, Xi Shen flipped over his palm and the black invitation that Meiling had delivered to him before appeared in his hand.A thoughtful look appeared on his face, and he was contemplating several ways to use this invitation to his advantage.
The Maple Continent was split into eight large countries and several smaller ones, with the Capital Country of Fu Lou being in the center of them.Fu Lou was extremely large, being several hundred square kilometers, let alone the entire Maple Continent which was millions of kilometers wide.If a normal mortal were to use normal means to try and go from one end to the other, it would probably take them a minimum of three years without complications to accomplish.The traveling method within this Spiritual Era was usually done by carriages, but for cultivators who want to travel a far distance, they would use a flying sword, where they could infuse their Spiritual Qi into the runes that allow the sword to fly, and soar through the sky like a comet.However, for cultivators below the Sea Expansion Realm that can’t attain flight due to their cultivation limiting them, they would have to settle for
The Emperor, of course, didn’t approve of Xi Shen using his Void Beasts like this and thus did not fault the people he disguise as and had even given his permission that it was okay to avoid him. The guards wearing helmets that covered almost all of their faces was one of the precautions that were implemented to prevent Xi Shen from sneaking into the Secret Archives that hold sensitive information. However, Xi Shen had only done so to get a better grasp of what this Era was like. He had read pretty much everything in the public and restricted archive so he did not need to sneak in there anymore. Though no one knew that, and even to this day people still kept up the act of hiding their faces from him. Anyone would find this whole situation completely absurd, and they in fact had a right to view it as such. Even as the last rays of the sun remain in the evening sky, Xi Shen walked unhindered to
Xi Shen chuckled at his little sister’s reaction and he braised himself so he wouldn’t fall back from her suddenly tackling him. While hugging her, Xi Shen smiled and said, “I just now return, Ling’er.” Raising her head from her brother’s chest, the little girl name Li Ling sat down on Xi Shen’s crossed legs and comfortably laid back her head on his chest. Seeing this, Xi Shen teasingly said, “Ling’er, don’t you think you're a bit too old to be sitting in your older brother’s lap?” Li Ling flash a cute smile as she tilted her head up to look at Xi Shen and said, “Ling’er is only eight! I have two more years left before you are allowed to tell me that!” Xi Shen only smiled and shook his head at her statement. He then raised his hands and pinch her cheeks, but in protest, she started swatting away his hands. Lady Ying, who was playing the zither, wa
“A lonely Willow Leaf, swaying gently in the embrace of the wind, loneliness will be my only company for all eternity. Will he, oh will he return?~” As Xi Shen finish the last lyrics of the song, the colorful flowers that were twirling in the air, faded away as he stop casting the Soul Illusion Art. Xi Shen then looked down at his little sister to see that she was sound asleep. Xi Shen would have cooed that she look cute while she was sleeping, if only a bit of drool wasn’t at her lips, threatening to fall on his sleeves. ‘That’s not very ladylike.’ Xi Shen mused in his mind. His mother’s voice then echoed out, “It seems like she wants to stay here to sleep again.” While still having his head down looking at his sister, Xi Shen responded, “Doesn’t she always? She comes to our courtyard every time she’s angry with third mothe
Seeing her son’s panicked expression, Lady Ying frowned and said, “Well aren’t you a man? You should start thinking about how many grandkids you’re going to give me. Maybe I’ll start looking for some families' young daughters you could marry. How about that girl from the Xie Family? Even though she only has an Earth-grade innate talent, she has been tested for a rare Heaven-grade soul. Or how about that junior sister Wang Yuwei from our Divine Star Academy? Although your cousin has the hots for her, I wouldn’t mind having a chat with her to make her choose my Shen’er.”Hearing his mother listing out candidates one after another for a supposed marriage, Xi Shen felt overwhelmed by this sudden development. He didn’t know if he would get married in the future, or even if he wanted to get married.Wanting to stop his mother, Xi Shen said, “Mom, I’m really not ready to get married
As Xi Shen listen to this story that happened long ago, he was absolutely speechless.“What happened after their affair got out? Does this story have something to do with the bad blood between the Star Bound Continent and us?”Lady Ying nodded at her son’s question and then said, “The results of the outcome were indeed what brought about the tension between our Continent and there’s. As when the 4th Emperor had found out, he had killed the Profound Sword Sect disciple and imprisoned the Patriarch's third daughter in the Divine Music Academy, refusing to hand her over to her father. Over the years, several large and small-scale battles ensued between us and the Profound Sword Sect. Although they were the strongest power on their Continent back then as well, they were unable to mobilize the Continent's power as our Li Clan could so they would always be on the losing side.”Lady Ying paus
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
