2025-01-01 16:41:47His weapon was an umbrella, an extremely deadly weapon. When the umbrella was opened, thirteen razor-sharp swords would appear, tearing the opponent's body to pieces.
Once upon a time, the Umbrella Demon disappeared from the martial world. It was rumored that he was ganged up on by eight straight sect leaders.
The Umbrella Demon disappeared, and the leaders of the eight sects never appeared before the people of the martial world again. "It is said that in that unequal battle, the eight sect leaders were injured by the deadly thirteen-eyed demon umbrella weapon!"
That's how it was discussed in crowded places, stalls, and taverns and heard over and over again fifty years ago. Unfortunately, today, the story of the Umbrella Demon and the eight white sect leaders is no longer heard.
Gradually, people began to realize who the Umbrella Demon was, the much-feared black sect demon kingpin.
Back into the cave in the ravine behind the Wudang Sect.
"Little one... If I told you that I'm a figure from the black sect, would you believe me?"
Eadric Rong looked at the older man repeatedly. Then he nodded. "It might be believed that you are a figure of the famous black sect. Please tell me your name," Eadric Rong said, acting like an adult.
The older man burst out laughing again. "This little fool doesn't know who he's talking to," Kyron Mo thought.
He deliberately said his name slowly, hoping that Eadric Rong would be surprised.
"My name is Kyron Mo! Have you heard?"
Kyron Mo hoped that Eadric Rong would cry out in fear, at least be surprised, and step back. However, he encountered disappointment.
The little boy shook his head innocently. "Kyron Mo? I've never heard that name. Can you mention any nicknames or other designations of your name?"
Kyron Mo almost vomited blood. That little boy would have run away in terror if this had happened fifty years ago. Feeling curious, he mentioned his nickname.
"Umbrella Demon! That's my nickname. Have you heard?"
Instead of the look of fear or praise that the little boy threw, Eadric Rong laughed.
"What kind of nickname is that? Umbrella Demon? Why don't you pick another name that sounds scary or cruel?" Eadric Rong continued to laugh.
Kyron Mo's face turned ugly.
In his heart, he thought sadly. "Time passes very quickly. The Umbrella Demon that was so dominating is now nothing more than a laughing stock. I'd better pass all my skills to this boy before I die."
At the moment when Eadric Rong was still laughing, he felt that an invisible force sucked his body.
"I'm dead! I seem to have angered the old man," he complained.
The older man's grip felt tight around his neck.
Panicked, he asked, "Elder, what are you doing?" Eadric Rong's voice broke.
Laughing coldly, Kyron Mo said, "You want to acquire Energy Pearls, don't you? Today, let me give you my Energy Pearl!"
Kyron Mo then laughed out loud. The sharp nails scraped Eadric Rong's stomach, a gaping wound... Eadric Rong grew more frightened.
"What are you doing? Please don't hurt me..."
The older man had no mercy.
Fiercely, he said, "Don't be a crybaby! I will transfer my Energy Pearl to you. But you must remember, this is the Energy Pearl of a black cult leader. You must promise to lead the black sect and attack the white sect in the future!"
"I don't want to. Let me go!" Eadric Rong was angry.
Kyron Mo slapped Eadric Rong's face, causing the boy to fall unconscious. He then performed spiritual surgery unreasonably, taking out his own Energy Pearl and transferring it into Eadric Rong's dantian core.
The space of the cave immediately smelled rancid. Blood was splattered everywhere.
When Kyron Mo finished with the spiritual surgery, his face paled. He fell with a blank look. However, he could still hear him softly say.
"Congratulations to our black sect. Today, a black sect kingpin has been born, an incarnation of... Demonic Umbrella Grandfather!"
After that, Kyron Mo fell asleep, never to wake up again. The apparitions in the cave at that time were terrifying.
A deformed older man was sleeping with a pale face. Blood pooled all over the cave.
Meanwhile, the little boy looked asleep with an innocent face, not knowing a miracle had just happened. Eadric Rong already had a Pearl Core!

Eadric Rong's entire vision became blurry as he opened his eyes."Where am I? What happened?"This incident felt like deja vu. Fainting, then waking up, so repeatedly.However, this time, Eadric Rong woke up in a dark cave. Another difference was that it was already night.Moonlight entered through the cave door, providing minimal illumination."Lighters!" whispered Eadric Rong. "I have to make a torch!"As an outer court student who also worked in the kitchen, Eadric Rong always carried a lighter. Before long, he was seen blowing on it, and the lighter was lit.With a joyful heart, Eadric Rong lit a fire on a piece of wood containing resin, a kind of flammable sap.When the fire had illuminated the cave, his face immediately paled."Demon Umbrella Elder? What happened?" Subconsciously, he took a few steps back, unable to watch the figure die with a pool of blood around him. A rancid odor stabbed into his nostrils, making the boy almost vomit.Eadric Rong rushed out of the cave to get

In this Lotus Continent, the only world leader is the ruling dynasty, the Xiaoyao Dynasty.In the Xiaoyao Dynasty, there were six major kingdoms in power: the Jinxiu Kingdom, the Yuechuan Kingdom, the Bicao Kingdom, the Qiongyu Kingdom, the Xingchen Kingdom, and the Zhenhua Kingdom.Everyone was really into martial arts and sword skills throughout the Lotus Continent. The famous principle is that if you are strong, you are in the spotlight and gain the world stage. Being weak? There will be no place for a weak person.

Remember this message: Practitioners who can practice sword techniques and use this demonic umbrella weapon must have a minimum of bare-bone talent—also, the minimum cultivation of a Fire Peacock Swordsman. If you deny it, then death will be your portion. Remember this message!"Before you practice the demon umbrella swordsmanship, swear to find out who caused my accident, banishment, and imprisonment in the depths of this abyss in a disfigured state! My spirit will not rest if you do not avenge me!"Eadric Rong paused, then thought."Learning this relic technique from Elder Kyron Mo, I consider it harmless. After all, now that I think about it, wasn't he the one who bestowed the Pearl Core so that I could cultivate like a normal person? Why should I reject this legacy?"After all, wasn't this grudge decades ago? How could the people who committed crimes against me because of this old age still be alive?Thinking to that point, Eadric Rong immediately knelt and said the oath.He did n

The child stood at the edge of a cliff in the Wudang Sect Bamboo Forest.A feeling of emotion swept through his chest when he finally saw a familiar and longed-for sight again after several days of living at the bottom of the ravine."The settlement of outer court disciples and worker disciples is what I've missed the most," Eadric Rong thought happily.How could it not be? He who had thought he would die, buried forever at the bottom of the abyss, was now given the grace by Heaven to see the Wudang Sect again, even though this was the most seedy part of the Sect."Chef Aldin Dong will be angry with me if I don't work in the kitchen today. He will probably report me to the elders who specialize in disciples who are considered worker disciples, and I could be expelled from the Sect."Thinking of that, Eadric Rong immediately ran in fear towards the Sect's kitchen.Since childhood, Eadric Rong had lived in the Wudang Sect as a disciple of the workers. He didn't know the world outside of

Eadric Rong was just about to blend in, helping the other workers when Kitchen Chief Aldin Dong's voice suddenly rang out. He mentioned Eadric Rong's name."Eadric Rong... Little boy, don't you want to tell me something?"While speaking, Aldin Dong's hands and face did not look away from the stir-fried vegetables.Eadric Rong's face paled.He hurriedly approached Aldin Dong, put on a guilty face, and began to explain."Kitchen Chief Aldin Dong, I'm sorry I've been unable to work these past few days. I..."Aldin Dong's hands continued to stir the ingredients in front of him. White smoke and the fragrance of garlic mixed with vegetables spread through the nose while Eadric Rong tried to resist the temptation of hunger. For a few days at the bottom of the ravine, he had only eaten what he could, with the natural ingredients he found there."What's wrong with you?" Chef Aldin Dong's face suddenly became flat and expressionless, close to Eadric Rong's."I..." "I'm sick. Due to a mistake in

Eadric Rong was happy to be cutting down trees for timber in the Pine Forest at the foot of Wudang Mountain. What was once difficult, he now did with ease.He made a slashing motion using a woodcutter's cleaver while flowing pure air from his Pearl Core, and the goat-sized tree instantly fell.Joyful and radiant!"Once I have cultivation at the level of a Jade Tiger Swordsman, chopping wood becomes easier!"At that time, in the middle of the forest, Eadric Rong became increasingly aware of the benefits he would get after possessing the Pearl Core."If this is the case, there's no need to wait until midnight... I can finish this job quickly!"Eadric Rong instantly split the tree trunk into two large groups, shouldered the fuel resources, and climbed to Wudang Peak.+++Vaelan Chen is a court disciple cultivated at the level of a level three (peak) Crystal Dew Swordsman. A level that will soon increase to Jade Tiger Swordsman.As we know, the Lotus Continent has seven cultivation levels
The Secret of The Demonic Artifact Poor Vaelan Chen – PART II.
Wondering because he was unfamiliar with Vaelan Chen, Eadric Rong felt this haughty-looking kid was acting too far-fetched. There are thousands of disciples in the Wudang Sect. And the genius category disciples number more than 500.This Vaelan Chen doesn't stand out, so Eadric Rong had no idea who he was."Excuse me, big brother. Let me pass this way." Eadric Rong's voice sounded polite.But Vaelan Chen remained silent. Instead, he chuckled for no reason, as if he hadn't heard Eadric Rong's voice."Brother, please step aside. The head chef is waiting for me for these two bundles of firewood," Eadric Rong said, still in a low tone.The custom in the Wudang Sect is to address those of higher status as elder brothers. This moment shows that Eadric Rong is already humble by looking up to Vaelan Chen.Feeling recognized for his status by Eadric Rong, Vaelan Chen asked with his face held high, assuming Eadric Rong was an ant."So you're named Eadric Rong?" Vaelan Chen asked. He was still u

When it is not yet dark, the time, according to Shi Chen's period, is You—representing when chickens look for perches in the afternoon.But Eadric Rong quickly completed a task that should have taken a long time, estimating that midnight should be the time for a child of his age with no cultivation ability.But what a surprise. He completed cutting down a tree the size of a goat's body and carried it in two piles to the sect kitchen ten times.Aldin Dong's face turned into complete shock. "What's wrong with this kid?" Aldin Dong wondered. "Did someone help him? Who helped you?" asked Aldin Dong persistently.If he knew anyone was helping Eadric Rong, he would be furious. But his little heart whispered, "Isn't this kid friendless? Who would be willing to help him?" He breathed a sigh of relief. This accusation wasn't going to happen."Helping? Help what? I don't understand," Eadric Rong replied. His face was confused.Aldin Dong tried to scrutinize and read Eadric Rong's face. But ther

Eadric Rong gave the congee vendor a quick glance.The vendor carried his wares, then put down his basket and sat at the corner of the narrow street. He hoped that Eadric Rong would have had a hard time getting through the narrow passage, if the congee vendor hadn't moved his wares to make room for others to pass through.In addition, there was a beggar sitting not far from him. The beggar had been mumbling in an indistinct voice, the words roughly reading "I'm hungry...""A beggar with clean clothes, and four sacks on his back?" thought Eadric Rong. What an irony. A beggar in clean clothes complaining of hunger, while there's a chicken porridge vendor with the tantalizing aroma of broth and stir-fried garlic next to him? Eadric Rong's vigilance instantly increased."Uncle... can't you lift your tools, so that young me can pass?" said Eadric Rong in a friendly tone full of anticipation. However, those two were behaving strangely. "Why trade in a lonely, narrow alley? Besides... beggin

The voices of people shouting encouraged Tang Wei to bid for the manual at a higher price. However, Tang Wei's face turned pale. He felt cornered, trapped in a difficult decision."My means are limited to fifteen thousand gold coins," he muttered to himself. "I must set aside funds and give priority to bidding on the Main Auction.”“Instead of squandering money on a Huobo-class manual. Let me just give in this time, I don't want to be scolded by the Patriarch if I run out of money and can't participate in the main auction."With gritted teeth and restrained embarrassment, Tang Wei raised a hand, signaling that he wouldn't bid any higher. "Let the manual belong to the young master," he said in an almost inaudible voice.Tang Wei's face turned red as the entire auction room sneered at him. Tang Wei could only stare intently at the hick-looking rich young man with an angry expression. "You'll see. I'll take the manual away, if I get the chance!" thought Tang Wei with a face that now look

"Fifteen thousand gold coins for a Huobo-class manual?" exclaimed a man in a tone of disbelief."Has that youngster lost his mind? That's a very high price, even for the standards of Huobo's most expensive manuals!"Meanwhile, the other people in the room were busy discussing the figure of the young master who dared to purchase the Talisman manual at such a high price. The atmosphere became boisterous, and rumors began to circulate."Who is that young master?" a woman asked with deep curiosity. "Is he from the Four Seasons Noble Family? Or perhaps from the Zhao Family? Or, perhaps, he's from the Xiao Family?"At that time, out of all the Four Seasons noble families, only the Zhao Family and Xiao Family had yet to act on the bargain. They seemed to be hiding in the crowd, seemingly waiting and watching, like hawks ready to pounce on prey."The Tang family just bought a manual represented by Tang Wei," said an old man with a hoarse voice. "As for the Murong Family? That is an impossible

For example, Wuji Sword - Huobo Rank, Sky Rank Recovery Pill, Weapon Repelling Armor, Chi Concentration Bracelet, Rú Yì Shàn Wind Blowing Fan, Immortal Spirit Grail, Dragon Binding Rope, Sealing Stone Necklace, to Obsidian Stone Necklace.All of these items were sold at high bid prices, up to five times the actual auction price.However, among all the valuables and artifacts, there was not a single one that interested Eadric Rong.Eadric Rong was only amused as he watched the tension build as the auction progressed. The quality of the items Liu Ningxi announced on stage was increasing, giving rise to a hostile atmosphere. The problem was, none of the bidders were willing to budge."Let me not stand out too much, because what I need is the main auction, not all these things," Eadric Rong thought to himself as he tried to calm down. In his heart, he actually trembled at the sight of the rare items at the grand auction.Eadric Rong realized that the number of treasures left behind by the

Luckily, Eadric Rong had a special token given directly by Miss Murong Lin. He got a VIP seat located on the balcony, separated from the crowd.Meanwhile, the activities on stage began. A shadowy figure of a young girl appeared to move, dressed in a dazzlingly tight outfit."The Lucky Koi Hall Grand Auction is about to begin. We're going straight into the first auction!" A twenty-year-old girl stood on the stage. Special spotlights of special gemstones and gems were beamed at her, making her stand out, with a slender waist... seemingly swaying like the Yang Liu Tree in the spring breeze.The girl was named Liu Ningxi, a subordinate of Miss Murong the manager of the Lucky Koi.With her melodious voice, Liu Ningxi began to open the price...

"Hey Zhaoyun!" someone shouted from the crowd."Who is that Hei Zhaoyun?" someone else whispered. "Why is his appearance so hideous?"The sound of the crowd watching was noisy. In the tense atmosphere, they wondered who the figure was who was now sitting on the coffin, staring coldly at the surroundings. A mysterious and sinister aura emanated from him, making the surrounding air colder.A moment later, the strange and eccentric-looking figure called Hei Zhaoyun suddenly stood up, as if the earth's gravity had no effect on him. In a stiff movement, he took a glance as if floating, and in an instant was standing in front of the receptionists."Y-your invitation, please show... M-Mr. Which Sect do you represent?" asked the greeter at the hall door in a trembling voice. The young man and young woman were already breaking out in cold sweat. Both wanted to stare at the strange man's figure, but they were terrified."Hei Zhaoyun of the Hell's Tomb Sect. Can I come in already?" asked Hei Zha

Hearing this information, his comrade who had asked with a stupid expression froze instantly. "It turns out to be a Spiritual weapon forger," he hissed. His face turned red, and he tried to hide his embarrassment by mumbling something incoherent.As you know, weapons or armor in this story are divided into eight groups.The first group is Non-Spiritual Weapons namely: Xīngyǐng (Star Shadow), Jīnlóng (Golden Dragon), Fēngrèn (Wind Wielder) and Huǒbō (Fire Ripple), which although not categorized as Spiritual Weapons, are very difficult to obtain, and have very high prices if they exist.The weapons and armor that fall under the Spiritual category are: Shén héxié (God Harmony), Tàiyáng guāng (Sunlight), Yuèyǐng (Moon Shadow), and Tiānlì (Sky Power).This group is very difficult to find, as the availability of Refiners or Spiritual Weapon Refiners is like the figure of a God, which is difficult to find their existence.The bat armor and robe that the Black Bat King bequeathed to Eadric Ro

Vice Leader Zhen Yuan of the Silver Moon Sect, who was a good friend of Tang Ye, gave him advice. He actually felt sorry for Tang Ye's gloomy face, and the loss of his cheerfulness after being reprimanded by Nun Junhua.However, instead of feeling relieved inwardly, Deputy Leader Tang Ye stared angrily at Zhen Yuan.His words stuttered when he wanted to scold Zhen Yuan, almost spitting out a mouthful of blood in anger. "You - you..."Tang Ye then looked away and didn't want to talk anymore, even with his best friend Zhen Yuan.Until finally, when the Wudang Sect's entourage was about to leave the capital with the coffin containing Malakai Yan's body, Tang Ye slipped away and separated himself from the white sect's deputy leaders.The other white sect vice-leaders had already rushed to the Fortune Koi Hall to attend the grand auction, which had been postponed for a few hours due to the departure ceremony of the Wudang Sect vice-leader's son.All the major sect representatives did not w

Some of these are the Tachi Sword Style (Taiji Jianfa), Seven Star Sword Style (Qixing Jianfa), Pure Yang Sword Style, Xuanmen Sword Style, and Wudang Jianfa. Here, 'Jianfa' means Sword Style.Although Eadric Rong practiced alone in the Zuzhou Valley without the guidance of a mentor, his understanding of the sword stances was quite good. That was why, on the previous night, he had easily finished off Malakai Yan using Xuanmen Swordplay.+++On that morning, Villa Cloud Mendung, one of the most luxurious and expensive inns in the capital, was hit by an unexpected stir.In the lobby of Villa A Cloud Mendung, a thick atmosphere of grief pervades every corner of a special room.All the paintings adorning the walls and decorations were covered with white cloth, creating an even more somber atmosphere. The strong scent of hio is everywhere, adding to the sacred feel of the room.Dozens of people dressed in white mourning clothes, made of cheap, coarse calico, sat on their knees with their h
