"I suggest it again! Go, leave this place. Otherwise, you'll regret it later!"In such a moment of warning, the sword held by Jesper Jiang had been filled with energy. Likewise, the swords carried by Sun Peng and Gao Jie were filled with pure air.Their swords were pointed at Eadric Rong. A thin white vapor could be heard surrounding their bodies.This was a sword art, the Elementary Level Sword Formation, which was the pride of the disciples in the Zhonglu Sect court.However, Eadric Rong remained calm."Even if the three of them use the Sword Formation technique, I'm still confident," Eadric Rong thought. He directed ninety percent of the pure air from his energy center point to the Xingying sword in his hand. The entire sword changed color to shine.Seeing that the opponent they thought was just an ordinary disciple could actually flow pure air into his sword, Jesper Jiang gave instructions firmly."Looks like you have a bit of skill. Worthy of sparring against us! Now, feel the po

The three Zhonglu Sect youngsters were unable to stop their attack. A wave of tremendous power suddenly hit their bodies, floating towards Eadric Rong.BAM!The three youngsters were bounced backwards, dragged about twenty meters backwards with a rustling sound as they dragged on the ground. They were slammed hard, causing vibrations as their bodies hit the rocks. With every rolling motion, there was blood flowing from their mouths.Hoeks!After that, silence fell. They lay motionless as if their lives were already facing the king of hell.Eadric Rong wiped the sweat from his forehead with a gasping breath. "I almost died. But if they didn't die, it would have been me!"He stared at the three frozen figures with a strange, haunting feeling. This was the first time Eadric Rong had been involved in a massacre. Unfortunately, this act was done out of necessity, and as such, a bit of guilt was settling in his heart."I must bury the three of them so that no one can detect them. If this is

Eadric Rong's shadow quickly disappeared; this is between feeling embarrassed and a little offended.Tangshan City, although small, was, in fact, quite developed and prosperous. Moreover, two mountains—Wudang and Zhonglu—stood on the left and right sides of the city. On those mountains, renowned martial experts from all over the country practiced as Cultivators.Business transactions in the city were plentiful, and the trade in tools, weapons, and vigor pills was very popular.All these tools are easy to find in Tangshan, as long as you have the money.In front of the Twilight Dew Shop, Eadric Rong stood waiting for another customer transaction. The shop owner, Errol Hou, was serving the first customer.When the first customer left, Errol Hou gave Eadric Rong a friendly look. "Aren't you a child of the Wudang Sect? The teenager who owes me the Xingying sword. Was your hunt successful?"Errol Hou's question was whether Eadric Rong had managed to get the demonic beast quarry as he had p
The Secret of The Demonic Artifact The Cosmic Mat.
The sun had tilted to the west. The sky above the Cloud Pine forest looked reddish. The Zhonglu Sect elder - Celeste Chen, had been pacing back and forth in the area where the aura of the former battle between Eadric Rong and the three Zhonglu Sect children had been. It seemed that he was searching for something restlessly.His face was contorted, looking full of worry. "Wretched twelve. If something happens to Jesper Jiang, the deputy sect leader may be furious."Celeste Chen didn't initially agree that Jesper Jiang should join the Shadowclaw hunting mission in the Cloud Pine forest. He daydreamed, remembering the few days before today's incident."You don't need to come. This is not a playful mission. Hunting a tier-one demonic creature is extremely dangerous. It's life at stake!" Celeste Chen said to Jesper Jiang at the beginning of the group's departure.Elder Celeste Chen thought this Jesper Jiang kid was too rash.In all likelihood, the mission that was supposed to be looking fo

Still thinking happily, he had not yet started meditating. "According to Elder Kyron Mo, the best time to gather energy is when the moon is full. It's said that it's the best time for the energy to match the pure air energy in my pearl core," Eadric Rong thought happily.The night breeze blew softly. Eadric Rong closed his eyes and began to absorb all the energy around him. Cold energy faintly stirred in his dan tian as the moonlight fell on his body. He didn't realize that he looked so mysterious and mystical!The night was getting late when Eadric Rong started shivering from the cold.At that moment, his dantian began to churn thoroughly and was about to burst with cold energy. Until one day, he complained softly, and his face resigned. At that time, an explosion occurred within his dantian, and all the energy would flow into the meridians.One minute... two minutes... and finally!An explosion occurred inside his body.Eadric Rong was wide-eyed when, at the same time as the explosi
The Secret of The Demonic Artifact Watching Resource Sharing – Part II.
Everyone looked enthusiastic and beaming. Everyone was about to receive Blood Pills and Qi Pills, naturally with the new hope that it would help their cultivation improve.Eadric Rong stood on the wall of the hall, about a hundred meters away from the field where the resources were distributed. He stared jealously as he heard the voices of the three core disciples ordering one outer court disciple after another to come forward to receive their resources."Don't jostle around. Please don't make any noise, and make sure that you receive this pill and consume it right now. The Wudang Sect will not compensate for any losses incurred!"The voice of Teng Jiyu, the head disciple ranked first in martial skill in the Sect, resounded with a cold tone as he reprimanded the disciple greedy for chaos. His face was plastered with seriousness, as if an official staring down from above, looking at the outer court disciples like a bunch of ants.As the resource-sharing process progressed, the three co
The Secret of The Demonic Artifact Admission of New Disciples of the Wudang Sect.
A week had passed since the beginning of the month, and Eadric Rong continued to observe the resource sharing done by the three geniuses, who were considered the highest level among all disciples. Nonetheless, he practiced incessantly.The cosmic mat and the night moonlight should be his loyal companions in cultivating in secret, but it was difficult for him to do so.The Wudang Sect was currently bustling. Everywhere, there were disciples on patrol, keeping Wudang Mountain safe ahead of the acceptance ceremony in the outer court. Even in the quiet places where Eadric Rong used to train, there were now often Sect officials.The admission of new disciples has always been a critical moment for the development of a sect in cultivating power. Concerns about possible infiltration into the Sect, especially by groups from the black Sect, were frequent.The recruitment of new disciples in white sects was often a highlight for black sect groups who lurked secretly, ready to kidnap highly talen

Eadric Rong, along with a few worker disciples, was given the opportunity to take the entrance exam despite little interference and compassion from the Sect.Eadric Rong stood among five hundred teenagers aged nine to fifteen, not standing out. His face did look young, but his height made him look like a thirteen-year-old. This made him easily blend in among the five hundred prospective new students.Eadric Rong was dressed in coarse linen, which is commonly worn by poor children. But there wasn't just a group of children dressed in coarse linen who were there.Some of the teenagers looked neat and trendy, dressed in silk fabrics. They chose to stand apart, refusing to join the rough-dressed kids like Eadric Rong.Suddenly, a loud noise broke the crowd on the field."Attention, please! I hope you can line up neatly for the strength test! You need to hold onto the pole in the center of the field and let your energy flow so that the Artifacts arranged in that direction can determine how

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
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 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
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
Whispers Beneath Pine Shadows.
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
Bloodshed in Pine Shadows.
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
Sounds of Battle on the Ridge.
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
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
Blacksmith Zhou – Part II.
He again bowed respectfully, this time more deeply, expressing his deep gratitude.Eadric Rong hurriedly stopped the old man's movements. He gently guided him to sit beside him, then offered him a piece of hard bread and cold water—the only food he had left.The old man accepted the food with trembling hands. After a few bites, the color of his face began to improve, and he began to speak."My name is Zhou Lianghua. I'm just a blacksmith who isn't famous. My purpose is to go to the capital to see the crowds. It's been a long time since I left the bustling world, and this time I want to have some fun. Who would have thought that on the way, I would catch a fever?" said Zhou Lianghua in a relieved tone, as if the burden he was carrying had been reduced.The moment Zhou Lianghua's name was mentioned, Eadric Rong felt something buzzing in his ears. He recalled a token—an item from the auction won by the Hell's Tomb Sect. That token was related to the name that was now in front of him."Zh
