The Secret of The Demonic Artifact Mission - First.
The fall air this year brought winds from the North that made the weather unpredictable. One minute it is sunny, the next it is cloudy, as if an invisible hand is pulling the gray curtain over the blue sky.In the Lotus Continent, the air is getting colder, forcing people to stay indoors more often and enjoy the warmth of a crackling campfire.The smell of burning wood spreads, creating a cozy atmosphere and inviting nostalgia for the warm spring season that has passed.At the Silver Lotus Monastery, the halls were hot and crowded.The scent of incense filled the air, permeating the hall with the distinctive fragrance of sandalwood mixed with a hint of refreshing musk.The dim light from small candles and oil lamps highlights the smoke that surges into the air, creating dancing shadows around the Buddha statue that sits in eternal tranquility.A young man, Eadric Rong, appeared kneeling in court. In front of him sat the Leader of the Martial World - Priest Zhang Long Yin. Priest Zhang
The Secret of The Demonic Artifact Mission - Part II.
"With your courage and spirit, the martial world and the white school will show who must submit!"Seeing Leader Zhang praising the three young champions of the Wudang Sect, the face of Caleb Yan - the deputy sect leader - instantly lit up. Although he was looking down, a faint smile was clearly on his face.This caused jealousy in the hearts of the other sect leaders in the alliance. Displeasure with the Wudang Sect for wanting to dominate too much instantly filled the air.When Zhang Long Yin stood up from his chair and was ready to give his blessing to the three young Wudang heroes, there was a sudden commotion.Simultaneously, from all the tables and seats of the other seven white sects' entourages, young people, both male and female, walked hurriedly.They were the geniuses of the other sects.Their robes and hair fluttered as they walked quickly. Without hesitation, they immediately took their places in a row with the three young Wudang heroes and knelt down.In unison, all the g

Nun Zengxhin's tense face turned into a triumphant smile. One sect leader supported her opinion.However, in the corner where the Wudang Sect sat, the face of Caleb Yan, the Vice Leader of the Wudang Sect, instantly turned purple.Caleb Yan had already weighed in. If only three heroes from the Wudang Sect were sent on this mission, the resources and money that would be given would be completely controlled by the Wudang Sect. However, if eight sects sent their representatives on the hunt for the Lesser Heretic Priest, obviously the resources and traveling money would be divided equally, so the portion that the Wudang Sect received would be smaller.Please note, every month all sect members collect tribute - a certain amount of resources and money - which is deposited in the Silver Lotus Monastery's Treasure Storehouse.Not only that, the largest donations from the Imperial side are also stored in the Silver Lotus Warehouse.With this change in the situation, Caleb Yan realized that the
The Secret of The Demonic Artifact Taiji Yin Yang Jian Fa (Taichi Sword Art - Ying Yang).
Martial Training Hall - Silver Lotus Monastery, Lianhua Yin Mountain.The atmosphere inside the training hall was filled with overwhelming happiness, a positive aura enveloping every corner of the room.The faces of the geniuses of the Eight White Stream Sects flashed with excitement as Wulin Mengzhu - Zhang Long Yin promised to teach them a sword technique that could be used in formation but was also extremely deadly in solo combat.Although the attack power of this sword move would be reduced if executed singly, its potential was still tremendous.Zhang Long Yin stood on a small stage, surrounded by many young people from the eight sects, all looking at him with admiration.The aura of an expert in the Golden Lotus Swordsman realm made him seem like a ray of light in the pitch-black night. He stood proudly with his back straight, exuding charisma and strength that were hard to ignore.The light of the oil lamp reflected Zhang Long Yin's shadow on the floor, emphasizing the impressio

"Ah, the sword is supposed to move slowly but powerfully. Why is my stab slow but not powerful? What a complicated Jian Fa!" Wang Yufeng of the Kunlun Sect was equally surprised. He was also a swordsman, given that the Kun Lun Sect was a sword sect.The chaos in the training room intensified as the geniuses - who were renowned as both sword and hand-to-hand geniuses - complained incessantly.The sound of stomping footsteps and sighs of frustration filled the air, creating an atmosphere of chaotic yet eager learning.This Taiji Yin Yang Jian Fa is truly a complicated and difficult swordsmanship to learn. Luckily, there were three genius disciples of the Wudang Sect present.Although reluctant and annoyed, Teng Yujin finally gave a little hint to another genius from the alliance side.His face was grim the whole time, as the spotlight and glory that should have been his were now shared with other geniuses."They've already taken my rightful share, so why waste too much energy helping th
The Secret of The Demonic Artifact The Beginnings of Chaos – Part II.
Most of the disciples of these sects wear robes with the Yin & Yang logo, dressed like Taoists.As such, it was very difficult to recognize Eadric Rong in this appearance, except for those who knew him well and had seen his face in person during the Black Stream encounter near the Gobi Desert.While looking around the crowds on the streets in the evening, Eadric Rong sensed something was wrong."Why are there so many unfamiliar faces filling the streets of the city? Their appearance and way of speaking also sound different. They seem to have come from outside the city. What kind of phenomenon is going on?" he wondered.The habit of living on the run has made him always cautious. The presence of unfamiliar figures in the capital, most of whom have a fighter's aura, is a sign for him to be more careful.Suspicious of the unusual crowd, Eadric Rong decided to stop by the Koi Hall of Fortune. It just so happened that the building was located not far from where he was now.In an instant, t
The Secret of The Demonic Artifact Genesis of the Lingguang Temple – Part I.
Inside the Night Shadow BuildingInside the Night Shadow Building—a separate structure from the Lucky Koi Hall—Eadric Rong sat before Lord Ma Hu and Du Shui.The opaque light from the lantern swaying in the corner of the room, combined with the lack of sunlight trying to break through the latticed windows, gave the room a sense of mystery. The scent of burning sandalwood incense wafted through the air, adding to the tense atmosphere.Eadric Rong's face looked serious, and in his hand was a piece of paper containing very shocking information about the martial world."How could I forget about the Sect meeting I promised Yan Huansheng—the Leader of the Five Colors Organization?Isn't the scheduled meeting on the night of the first Full Moon in early fall? That means two days from now?"Eadric Rong tapped his forehead, realizing his oversight. His face creased slightly as an epiphany struck him. The question that had been lingering in his mind answered itself."So... those strange figures
The Secret of The Demonic Artifact Genesis of the Lingguang Temple – Part II.
The once majestic temple building now looks shabby with cracked walls and a leaking roof. The statues of the gods inside are dusty, and many are broken.The only large statue left undamaged is that of Chenghuang, or the City God.The night breeze blew softly, and the sound of dry leaves rustling on the temple floor could be heard.The smell of dampness and wet soil filled the air, adding to the sense of sadness as the rain fell heavily.In a corner of the Lingguang Temple, several black cultivators sat in groups, pressed close together under the dim light of a small bonfire.As the air grew colder and the light of the bonfire began to fade, a shadowy figure stood in front of the shrine. It stood with its back to the dim moonlight, and its shadow extended into the shrine, looking mysterious."Who's there? Is it a brother from the black sect who will attend our sect's grand meeting?" The voice of a cultivator rang out from the small group sitting under the statue of Chenghuang, who was

Last Night.
Eadric Rong simply nodded, and gently asked the fisherman not to move too much, fearing that he would spit out blood again like before.Before long, Priest Qiu also woke up. However, unlike Fisherman Yang, he remained silent, only looking at Eadric Rong who faithfully kept the fire burning, providing the warmth they needed.Secretly, Priest Qiu's eyes softened, realizing the kindness of this young man who had helped them despite not knowing each other.This tense silence lasted for three days and nights.During that time, Eadric Rong couldn't do much other than give them a drink when they felt thirsty and keep the campfire burning, so that their bodies wouldn't freeze in the cold, damp night.On the third night, when Fisherman Yang and Priest Qiu were finally able to sit in the lotus position, Eadric Rong's heart was filled with deep joy. He couldn't help but smile when he saw them showing signs of recovery."Seniors, thank goodness you can sit down," Eadric Rong said in a relieved to
The Shocking Morning – Part II.
With quick but careful movements, Eadric Rong stirred the water in a makeshift pot he found in the modest kitchen. He stirred in the ginseng and strong medicine he had, while muttering quietly to himself."I know it's not suitable for treating internal injuries. But this is all I have. I hope it can help you two get through this critical night," Eadric Rong whispered hopefully.After the water that was fanned over the coals changed color, Eadric Rong let it get warm before spooning the potion one by one into the mouths of the two half-immortals."Thank goodness... there's an effect," Eadric Rong thought with some relief when he saw the changes on their faces.Their faces that had been as pale and cold as the moon on a frozen night now began to reveal a rosy hue, a sign that life was slowly infiltrating their bodies again.Eadric Rong couldn't close his eyes all night. He diligently guarded the two half-immortals from the dangerous fever. He gently placed a cloth soaked in cold water o
The Shocking Morning.
"Who's there?" shouted Eadric Rong in a powerful tone. The silence that had surrounded the lake was suddenly broken by his voice, bringing an eerie aura that enveloped the surroundings.Without wasting any time, Eadric Rong immediately ran towards the source of the voice that sounded faint among the swish of the night wind.Within about ten meters, his eyes caught the figure of Fisherman Yang, a half-immortal wearing a simple robe, seemingly floating above the surface of the lake water. The rushing current of the Han Fenghe River seemed ready to drag his frail body into the depths."Hold this!" shouted Eadric Rong, quickly throwing out a bundle of old roots that he had wrapped into a makeshift rope. The roots floated through the air, before landing right within Fisherman Yang's reach.With what strength he had left, Fisherman Yang managed to grab the root, even though his body was beginning to weaken.Eadric Rong immediately pulled with all his might, feeling the heavy weight as Fishe

Eadric Rong was forced to spend the night on the small, remote island, taking refuge inside an old building that still exuded remnants of past splendor. Strangely, the boat that Fisherman Yang had used some time ago to transport him had now vanished without a trace, as if swallowed up by the mysterious fog enveloping the lake."Did the Fisherman deliberately lose the boat, so that I would be trapped on this deserted island?" he murmured in a worried tone, while gazing around with increased vigilance.Instantly, Eadric Rong's face turned pale, fear creeping into his mind.Previously, he thought he could at least use Fisherman Yang's boat to leave the island, but that hope was now dashed.As he stood pensively by the lake whose waves were relentlessly pounding the shore, his stomach suddenly rumbled, reminding him of an unavoidable reality—the hunger that was beginning to assail him."I'm hungry. Haven't eaten since morning. Might as well go to the kitchen and check if there are any lef
Why was it destroyed?
Eadric Rong immediately stepped out of his hiding place upon hearing his name mentioned.The cool night air hit his face, while his eyes were fixed on the shimmering horizon in the distance. There, two half-immortal figures hovered with great grace.Their robes fluttered gently in the night air as if they were made of thin, shining silk, while their wide sleeves further emphasized the impression that they were gods descending from the sky.Eadric Rong gulped, then with great reverence, he bowed deeply, hands cupped in front of his chest."Two noble immortals," his voice was slow but respectful, flowing softly among the wind that carried the scent of wet soil."What is it that makes a little person like me summoned? Truly, I am but a mere mortal, ignorant of high martial arts. Please be merciful, don't make things difficult for this little person," he continued in a trembling yet clear voice, piercing through the thick night fog.The lapping water of the Han Fenghe River flowing nearby

Their bodies drifted back, but their eyes remained focused, filled with unwavering determination.However, in a very short period of time, no more than the blink of an eye, the two warring Kaishi again darted forward.They shortened the combat distance at a speed that was almost impossible for ordinary eyes to follow, swords and palms smashing into each other in a battle filled with fierce energy. The Thunder Sword and the Vajra Palm clashed once more, creating an extremely spectacular wave of power.The impact of their fight was even felt in the surrounding nature.What was once a calm and tranquil lake was now surging wildly.The calmly flowing waters of the Han Fenghe River suddenly stopped, then began to reverse direction upstream, as if following the dictates of the two battling Kaishi. So much true energy was at stake in this battle that it was able to deflect the flow of the river water.Behind the window of the room, from a small hole that was now getting bigger due to the pre
The Duel of the Two Kaishi.
From a narrow gap in the Xuan paper, Eadric Rong's eyes caught a faint shadow of a human figure floating in the air. The figure turned slowly, its robes fluttering gracefully as if following the invisible movement of the wind.He wore striking Taoist clothing, giving off an impression of unusual majesty. The dim light of the sword draped across his back glowed, as if the sword itself contained tremendous spiritual energy."Fly? This is the first time I've seen a human who can actually fly!" thought Eadric Rong, his body feeling simultaneous waves of fear and awe. His heart beat faster and faster, cold sweat running down his back.Eadric Rong's face turned pale, a feeling of inferiority suddenly enveloping him."In the Yue Chuan Empire, I wearing the Black Bat King's armor and robes already felt invincible. My cultivation level even reached that of a Jade Dragon Swordsman, an already very high achievement there!"But this Taoist priest... Is he a Kaishi? A half-immortal? How could ther
Building in the Middle of the Lake.
The man just looked on with a mixed gaze of astonishment and calm, impressed by Eadric Rong's skill.He immediately picked up a bamboo pole from the side of the boat and began to paddle with a steady rhythm, carrying Eadric Rong towards the mentioned island, while a gentle breeze swept across their faces.From a distance, the figure of Eadric Rong and the figure of the fisherman looked like gods walking on water, as their robes fluttered, and the loose sleeves undulated in the morning breeze.A moment later, they had arrived at the small island where the building stood majestically.The morning breeze blew gently, carrying the distinctive scent of wet soil and fresh willow leaves from around the lake. Faintly, there was the sound of rushing river water, making Eadric Rong wonder."Please wait while you enjoy your tea, Young Master. You can see for yourself, can't you? The river over there is flowing very fast. Traveling in these conditions is very dangerous!" said Fisherman Yang, his
The Death of Dhuan Jiexin – Part II.
Although his body-lightening skill had not completely vanished, Eadric Rong felt how the art was now sucking his energy greedily.Every time he practiced his light steps, his body seemed to be possessed by a gripping exhaustion. Without the reserves of Qi energy that had once been the source of his strength, he now felt fragile.Having only jumped down the cliff twice, Eadric Rong was already gasping for breath, his chest tight, cold sweat running down his neck. The fear was getting more and more gripping."I'm so weak!" he hissed, disappointed in himself.The forest of Lingxiao Mountain grew thicker, swallowing the remaining light. The once soothing sounds of nature now became menacing whispers. Eadric Rong realized that danger lurked in every shadow."The best way to avoid the assassins' pursuit is to take an unexpected route," he thought as he slipped between the shadows of trees and bushes that twisted like ghostly hands trying to reach him.His feet slipped on the slippery ground
