Chapter #134. TrialDing Xi and several of his subordinates quickly dashed towards the snowy forest, having received news from Tianzhi and the others about the attack on the Sun Sect disciples. They rushed to the snowy woods.Ding Xi immediately headed to the area where the battle had taken place, seeing several cultivators and emperors lying helpless. He hurried towards them."These...are Zhao family guards!" He murmured softly.Ding Xi grinned seeing them like that. Unexpectedly, Ding Xi unleashed his technique and incinerated them with his skill.The five guards died instantly from Ding Xi's attack. He then looked towards his subordinates."What did you just witness?" He asked calmly."We didn't see anything," his subordinates replied in unison.Ding Xi nodded, satisfied that his subordinates understood his intentions."Grandmaster, to the west, there are two people still alive, but they are severely injured. It seems both of them are elders from the Sun Sect," said another subordi
Chapter #135. A Small WorldJust as Tian Fan was about to sit down, his eyes caught the movement of three beasts approaching."Golden Wolves? An Emperor Realm and two late-stage Earth King Realm!" Tian Fan muttered softly.(Why are these beasts in the same place and time? It's really strange?)Tian Fan stumbled, thinking the three wolves came to smell blood and eat the dead beast.However, the three beasts attacked him instead."Darn it, what's this?" he muttered in frustration.The battle raged fiercely and intensely. With his body nearing its limits, Tian Fan fought with all his might, losing in terms of strength and numbers. Eventually, Tian Fan used his intellect and cunningness to fight against the three.After a long three-day-three-night battle, Tian Fan managed to kill the three golden wolf beasts at a great cost. His body was severely wounded due to the bites from these beasts.Tian Fan knelt down, lacking the energy to rise."I... must... stay... alive," he murmured softly.
Chapter #136. Hope"Why though? Just losing one Dantian makes you so pessimistic? Isn't there still two left? Besides, your Dantian can still be reformed?" Wu Zhishan remarked indifferently."What do you mean, elder?" Tian Fan asked impatiently."What do you think?" Wu Zhishan counter-asked.Tian Fan tensed up, as Wu Zhishan's words suggested that there was hope for Tian Fan to reform his Dantian."Elder, please guide me!" Tian Fan said, rising and respectfully clasping his hands together in a sign of deference, displaying his humility.Wu Zhishan smiled faintly at Tian Fan's enthusiasm. Without hesitation, he explained,"Sit down, young one. I will enlighten you. At least, by understanding this, when you manage to leave here, you can seek an alchemist who can help you," he continued.Tian Fan, without any preamble, explained his situation and abilities."I apologize, elder. It is not my intention to boast, but I am an alchemist. Presently, if following alchemical norms, I am at the l
Chapter #137. Preparing to Forge DantianAfter a lengthy discussion with Wu Zhishan, Tian Fan prepared for the process of forming his Dantian. Tian Fan was slightly amazed by the process he was about to undergo.Nevertheless, all his curiosity about forming the Dantian was now answered. Tian Fan actually wanted to inquire further about the higher realm beyond immortal, but Wu Zhishan refused to elaborate."There's a time for you to know that. For now, focus on reforming your Dantian first," Wu Zhishan firmly stated."Before we proceed with the Dantian forming process, I want you to firm up your body condition first, and the quickest way to go through that is, of course, by fighting. Here, there are many beasts that can serve as your training companions. Are you ready?" Wu Zhishan quickly asked."Not yet, Elder! I'm not ready," Tian Fan responded even faster."Junior wishes to prepare a few things first, including weapons and others. My sword is lost, and I also don't have the Qi to op
Chapter #138. Forming a New Dantian"DAAAANG....DAAAANG""DAAAANG....DAAAANG""DAAAANG....DAAAANG"The rhythmic sound of adamantium hammer strikes on black metal iron echoed in the ears. Wu Zhishan smiled softly as he heard the rhythm emanating from Tian Fan's forging room.A month had passed since Tian Fan began forging black metal iron, and on this thirtieth day, Tian Fan had perfected what Wu Zhishan had instructed.Initially, Tian Fan could only lift the hammer fifty times a day, and exactly a month from that day, Tian Fan had now managed to lift the hammer a thousand times in just a single day."No wonder your progress is so rapid. You have a strong heart and determination. You're doing something an old man like me can only accomplish after a year of hard work," murmured Wu Zhishan, smiling faintly.Tian Fan himself was delighted with the results. He could genuinely feel the benefits of this forging exercise in his body.Furthermore, forging was entirely reliant on his physical s
Chapter #139. HeritageTime passed by. Tian Fan worked hard throughout the day, enduring the pain in his abdomen. After a long and exhausting struggle, the thin membrane of his lower dantian finally formed.Tian Fan smiled faintly. Although he had returned to the initial stage of cultivation, the creation of this new dantian exceeded his expectations. Even though his dantian wasn't yet perfect, the size of the lower dantian, twice the size of his fist, made Tian Fan beam with joy.Glancing towards Wu Zhishan, Tian Fan's eyes squinted at the increasingly visible figure of Wu Zhishan. Finally noticing Tian Fan's observation, Wu Zhishan spoke up."I know what you're thinking. What you're seeing is the truth. Your eyes are not mistaken. As my qi diminishes, I will reach my end," Wu Zhishan said calmly, surprising Tian Fan."Elder...""Concentrate. Don't waste my sacrifice! I'm glad to have helped you, so quickly complete the formation of this dantian, for I still have something to pass do
Chapter #140. Re-trainingTian Fan smiled widely because now this small world belonged to him, he had become the ruler of this small world."Turns out this small world has its own laws, and I am that law! Interesting!" he muttered.Suddenly, Tian Fan remembered the existence of beast creatures within this small world, which Wu Zhishan once summoned to threaten him. Tian Fan closed his eyes and sought the presence of the immortal realm beast.He wanted to understand the extent of his influence within this small world."That beast is in the north. Alright, I'll pay it a visit," Tian Fan monologued.Immediately, Tian Fan flew swiftly towards the north. Within a few breaths, he arrived at the location of the black dragon beast.Tian Fan gazed at a large cave in front of him. He pondered for a moment, unsure of what to do next.From what Tian Fan knew, every beast with a saint or immortal realm possessed their own intelligence and could even communicate with humans.Initially, in his mind,
Chapter #141. Family"BLAAAMMM!"An immortal realm aura exploded from Xiao Long's body, the patriarch of the Xiao family. His eyes stared fiercely at all the elders present in the hall, his emotions flaring due to the reports from the elders in his extended family."Patriarch, calm down! Emotions won't solve the problem!" Xiao Shilin said to his brother.Xiao Shilin understood his brother's anger because Xiao Long's grandson, who had not been seen by Xiao Long until now, still couldn't be found.Xiao Shilin signaled for the elders to leave the room to avoid facing his brother's wrath.Xiao Shilin sat beside his brother. "Brother, calm down. Even though Fan'er hasn't been found yet, we should remain optimistic. In fact, we should be happy to receive this news," Xiao Shilin said, causing Xiao Long to furrow his brow."Why is that?" he asked emotionally."Because it means your grandson is still alive, logically speaking. There's no body or trace left behind, indicating that the child is
