The Secret of The Demonic Artifact Sacred Heart Temple.
At that time, there were two main faiths practiced by the people of the Longhai Continent: Buddhism and Daoism. If in the Yue Chuan Empire, Daoism dominated and became the most respected faith, it was different in the Jin Shuang Empire.Here, the Emperor himself practiced Buddhism, so there are many magnificent Buddhist temples scattered at almost every important point in the city. Taoist temples, on the other hand, are rare, with only a few surviving.The Sacred Heart Temple was one of the remaining Daoist temples in the city, hidden in a corner of Baiyung Chen City. It was in a very unkempt state, it was obvious that no pilgrims had visited the place for a long time.The walls are cracked, and the once-bright paint is now faded with dust and moss.Eadric Rong stood in front of the tall, worn-out gate of the Sacred Heart Temple, knocking loudly on the round iron on the gate. It was already nighttime, and the surroundings were increasingly dim.There were very few oil lamps in the tem

However, as a pious Taoist, Eadric Rong chose to respond with kindness. A faint smile appeared on his face as he patted Blacksmith Zhou's shoulder, providing a sense of calm."No need to worry, Blacksmith Zhou. Let's go inside the temple and rest," Eadric Rong said gently, guiding Refiner Zhou to come inside the Sacred Heart Temple.Once they entered the guest room that the Taoist disciple had pointed out, they found that it was very simple. Inside the room, there was only one old bed that looked weathered, but everything was kept clean."Please lie down on this bed, and I'll sleep on the lounger here," Eadric Rong said in a humble tone, though he actually felt a little uncomfortable.Blacksmith Zhou immediately shook his head, unwilling to accept the offer. "I'm just a follower who happened to follow your journey.""You'd better sleep in this bed, young man. Even on the floor I can rest well," replied Blacksmith Zhou, insisting."Don't!" said Eadric Rong firmly, yet gently. There was

The long wait made Eadric Rong's heart even more uneasy. He just paced the courtyard of the Sacred Heart Temple, which was full of piles of fallen maple leaves.The leaves were scattered on the ground, creating a somber scene with a red-brown color."Teacher Tao Guo, what's making you uneasy?" asked Hanki, the Taoist disciple who had greeted him at the gate yesterday. Hanki was sweeping the courtyard that looked yellowed with a carpet of decaying maple leaves.The sound of the broomstick scraping against the ground could be heard crackling, adding to the anxiety that had already taken hold of Eadric Rong."I'm waiting for the old man who was with me last night. He left at night and hasn't returned yet," Eadric Rong replied as he glanced toward the gate, hoping to see the figure he was waiting for emerge from the shadows.Hanki's face was wide-eyed, his eyes widening as if he had just heard something very shocking. With an innocent yet curious face, he gave an answer that made Eadric R

The refiner painstakingly gulped down the potion, and before long, his labored breathing began to sound more regular, albeit very weak."Are you okay?" asked Eadric Rong, his eyes looking full of worry.With a voice that sounded flat and weak, Refiner Zhou replied,"Young man, once again you saved me. However, this time everything is useless. My life will no longer be helped. I have only a few moments to live," he said, his breathing getting heavier and labored.As he spoke, Refiner Zhou's voice sounded very weak, like a whisper of wind that almost vanished into the silence of the night."You'd better stop talking, Mr. Zhou. If you continue to exert yourself, your injuries could get worse. Rest, let your body recover a bit," Eadric Rong said in a caring tone, his eyes looking at Refiner Zhou with deep concern.Refiner Zhou, however, gently rejected the suggestion. A faint smile was etched on his pale lips, as if he had already accepted his imminent fate."My life is running out, young
The Secret of The Demonic Artifact Three Disciples, Three Legacies.
As time passed and he grew older, Juedai Jianren, who was estimated to be two hundred years old, decided to take three young children as his disciples.He then passed down his magic to them, each according to the natural talents of the three children.The first disciple, who was very fond of fighting, was given a cultivation book called the Book of Long Xuan Shu. This disciple turned out to have a very high cultivation talent, with pure energy so strong that it was hard to find a match.With an extraordinary ability to cultivate true energy, this first disciple effortlessly created martial arts style after style, becoming an extremely feared figure in the martial world (Jianghu).All the deadly sword arts and palm arts are contained in the book, making it both a dangerous and highly desirable legacy.Juedai Jianren's second disciple was someone who was deeply steeped in the art of healing. His deep interest in healing led his teacher, Juedai Jianren, to give him the Book of Heavenly H
The Secret of The Demonic Artifact The Second Zircon Turtle.
That morning, fresh air enveloped the Sacred Heart Temple, and soft sunlight spread among the tall pine trees. Eadric Rong, with steady steps, asked the audience to meet the Head of the Temple, Priest Yin Fai.In the courtyard, Hanki, the Taoist disciple who often seemed busy, was sweeping attentively. However, the scraping sound of the broomstick on the ground and the dissatisfied murmur that kept escaping his lips showed that he was not in a good mood.When Eadric Rong arrived, Hanki was startled and almost dropped his broom."What are you upset about, disciple Tao?" asked Eadric Rong in a thoughtful tone.Hanki, surprised and his face changing instantly from an annoyed expression to a calmer one, replied with a forced cheerful look on his face."Ah, Teacher Tao Guo. You really took me by surprise. Actually, I'm grumbling because the leaves of this maple tree keep falling every day, piling up, and making me have to work harder..."Meanwhile, Hanki's hands continued to move, sweeping
The Secret of The Demonic Artifact Arriving at Capital.
Eadric Rong made the long journey on foot to Xuefeng Du Town, spending nearly two months on the winding, challenging roads.He deliberately chose the grueling overland journey, using every opportunity to practice the Ferris Wheel Sword Art and meditate in an attempt to break through to the Golden Lotus Swordsman level.However, no matter how hard he tried, every attempt ended in vain, as if there was an invisible wall blocking his progress."I really need to get Zhen Long Pills to break through to the Golden Lotus Swordsman level," Eadric Rong muttered to himself as he stood before the East gate of Xuefeng Du City.The towering city fortress, painted in a faded gray-white color, stood firmly in front of him. The road above the fort was lined with soldiers on patrol, creating a haunting atmosphere but at the same time providing a sense of security for the townspeople.One of the soldiers guarding the entrance, a man with a hard face and a sharp gaze, glanced at Eadric Rong."Daozhang,
The Secret of The Demonic Artifact Arrival of Invited Guests.
In the invited guests' quarters of the Jin Shuang Imperial court, the atmosphere was suddenly tense as the Black Shadow Sect Leader, Gong Fang, appeared. The oppressive aura he spread pervaded the air, making everyone present feel a tense pressure.Everyone's gaze was instantly lowered, crushed by his dominant presence.However, the oppressive aura soon faded.Suddenly, a well-dressed man in a dark blue velvet robe appeared with a confident stride."Xue Hua Academy," "Isn't that martial arts academy leader Xue Hua?"Whispers ensued, and all the spotlight instantly moved to the newly arrived figure, who was called from Xue Hua Academy.Apparently, the appearance of this newly arrived figure, although not much different in age from Gong Fang, but his young-looking face, like a young man in his twenties, exudes an alluring charisma.His dramatic appearance caught everyone's attention.As a newcomer to the Jin Shuang Empire, Eadric Rong was clearly confused by the names of the night's cel

The contest rules prohibiting a fight to the death no longer mattered to him. His resolve was made—if necessary, he would drag Bao Xuan into the abyss of death together."In that case, prepare to die!" shouted Jiang Hui, his voice echoing, shaking the arena filled with spectators. His sword flashed, slashing through the air with unimaginable speed, as if about to split the sky.In an instant, a sword beam emitting silver light spread across the entire stage, forming a powerful vortex of energy. Snow flakes flew out, blown by the sharp gusts of wind caused by his sword movements, creating the illusion of a blizzard enveloping the entire arena.However, as the sword light and snow flakes faded, and the rumbling sound that resembled crashing waves subsided, Bao Xuan was still standing tall in the center of the stage.His body did not flinch in the slightest. His face remained calm, even looking a little bored. His handsome face exuded a haughty air, while the faint smile that graced his
The Meeting of Dragons Begins – Part II.
If only there wasn't a rule prohibiting the Five Star Sect from competing with the Four Star Sect, the geniuses of the Five Star Sect might have already stepped onto the stage to humiliate Jiang Hui who was now standing arrogantly before everyone.When everyone was almost certain that Jiang Hui would win the Dragon Meeting for geniuses of the Four Star Sect, suddenly a shadowy figure flashed at an incredible speed, difficult for ordinary eyes to follow.In an instant, a young man was standing on the stage, stealing the show with his striking appearance.The young man looked like a descendant of nobility, no more than twenty years old. He wore a soft blue tunic with intricate patterns, showing his status and wealth. The long jacket that covered his heels was made of selected silk, flowing gracefully in the cold winter wind, adding a sense of elegance to his figure.His face was handsome, but a sardonic smile was clearly etched on his lips. He wore the typical skullcap of an imperial of
The Meeting of Dragons Begins.
As they spoke, the crowd around them intensified, and the sound of the gong resounding three times signaled that the "Meeting of Dragons" event was about to begin."The Dragon Meeting is about to begin!" whispered Ouyang Fai enthusiastically, his voice almost drowned out by the noise.Amidst the hustle and bustle, the sound of heavy, echoing horse hooves began to sound from the direction of the imperial palace. The sound grew closer, distracting everyone's attention.When the anticipated figure appeared, there was a moment of silence, only to be broken by the crowd's amazement.A war knight clad in silver armor, which shone in the sunlight, appeared gallantly on a pure white horse like snow.The horse's steps were slow but steady, adding an aura of majesty to the scene. The horse, more surprisingly, had wide wings that looked shiny, adding a magical and mysterious feel to the whole appearance."Suiji Ma!" "Sembrani Horse!" shouted several people in the crowd, their voices full of admi
Surprise after surprise.
Eadric Rong watched the man standing in the center of the crowd with a sharp gaze. The man looked majestic and imposing, surrounded by Golden Sword Sect disciples marching in a respectful manner.Amidst the echoing cheers and shouts from the audience, Eadric Rong remained calm, unperturbed by the crowd around him. The sounds of applause and cheers praising the Golden Sword Sect blended together, creating a very festive atmosphere on the field."Is he the so-called Leader Shen Yutian, the leader of the Golden Sword Sect?" asked Eadric Rong inwardly, his sharp eyes scrutinizing every detail of the man's appearance curiously.Shen Yutian stood in an authoritative manner among his disciples, wearing robes that seemed to glow with a golden color under the light of the crescent moon.The robe, though similar in design to the Taoist Priest's clothing, was made of fine silk that drifted gently around his body, adding a sense of luxury.His hair was neatly combed up, forming a bun that was hel
