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
The Secret of The Demonic Artifact Energy Meters – Part I.
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

"That kid never gives up. I'm always amazed by people who are persistent and full of spirit like him. However, when it comes to Eadric Rong, I can't say much. He'll probably feel embarrassed for the umpteenth time!" another disciple said sarcastically.The habit of watching the crowd, let alone seeing such an event when the new disciples were awkward, made the senior-level disciples want to witness it.This was pleasant entertainment for them. Eadric Rong noted inwardly that the three core disciples, Ferrin Teng, Torrek Da, and Faelin Fen, were seen watching along from another corner and separated themselves from the group of ordinary disciples."Wretched. Even the three core disciples witnessed this incident. I'm getting more and more confused. Should I display my true abilities, keep a low profile, and lay flat on the ground?" Eadric Rong's heart was filled with indecision.Hearing his name being called, Eadric Rong walked slowly and cautiously to the podium at the front, where the

At that moment, the Lorien Priest's gaze on Eadric Rong looked complicated. His face was filled with sympathy and curiosity."Take it easy, Eadric Rong," said the Lorien Priest in a low, soothing voice. "Don't listen to those kids' scorn. If you fail this time, there's still next year. You are still very young, and there will be many opportunities for success in the future."Priest Lorien's voice was soft in Eadric Rong's ears as if a soothing gust of spring wind. This created a sense of warmth in his heart, giving him the strength to continue with the test.After Eadric Rong had calmed down and was no longer overwhelmed with nerves, it wasn't long before the Lorien Priest's voice could be heard echoing deafeningly."Eadric Rong, new disciple candidate of the Wudang Sect. Are you ready to undergo the energy test?" asked Priest Lorien.On stage, Eadric Rong nodded in agreement."Please grab hold of that Energy Meter pole!" ordered the Lorien Priest with his resounding voice, complete i

Followed by the sound of shouts from the senior disciples in various directions. They seemed to be demanding an explanation from Eadric Rong about the ongoing situation, which had caused the uproar."We need an explanation. How is it possible that someone who doesn't have a pearl core can suddenly utilize pure air by dealing eleven points of damage?""Eadric Rong! You must explain. Otherwise, we'll consider this an act of cheating!" Fenn Zhao, as if encouraged by the questions most of the senior disciples asked, was not to be outdone and demanded an explanation.Meanwhile, the new disciples under the stage had already started whispering. They looked at Eadric Rong contemptuously as if he had committed an unforgivable crime."He turned out to be a cheater!" said a prospective student who seemed to be dressed in fancy clothes. Since the beginning of his arrival, he had always been in a group of four with his friends. With their beautiful outfits, these four prospective students looked v
The Secret of The Demonic Artifact The End of a Play
That afternoon, there was a crowd at the top of Wudang Mountain. A young boy stood on the sect's podium, looking awkward in the crowd of other children. The boy was Eadric Rong, who was asked to explain how he could cultivate Pure Eve energy.Eadric Rong began to clarify, followed by scornful looks from the crowd of new kids."I hereby confirm that I have never used any underhanded tactics or cheated in my actions in the Energy Meter trials." Eadric Rong stopped and sighed, trying to muffle his heartbeat.Although his voice did not project using pure air, because it was so quiet, every word he spoke was clearly heard and immediately understood by his listeners.Eadric Rong continued, "On that day, while I was traveling for resources in the middle of the Cloud Pine Forest, I accidentally came across a very strange tree.The tree had red leaves and fruit. Surprisingly, the fruit was also red and was the only fruit growing on the tree!"At this point, everyone listening to the story from
The Secret of The Demonic Artifact Night of the Dead Moon – Part II
As a gust of cold wind slapped Edmon Ouwyang's face, he wiped away a drop of tear that fell on his cheek. In the depths of his heart, he vowed to take revenge and make the boy named Eadric Rong regret having stolen the show during the Wudang Sect's recruitment.Until the sun appeared to be leaning over the western horizon, and when the sky had turned a blood-red color, Edmon Ouwyang's anger towards Eadric Rong still had not subsided.Finally, when the Lorien Priest announced that just over half of the candidates had made the cut, Eadric Rong walked back to his hut at the edge of the Bamboo Grove.In the old and humble hut, Rongkuo was lost in deep reverie. He wondered what techniques he should borrow from the library tomorrow.As a disciple, everyone in the outer courtyard was given permission to have one copy of the first-level sword skill and one copy of the zero-level empty-handed palm martial arts skill.The happiness Eadric Rong felt at that moment was overwhelming. His face was

"Your Majesty Daozhan..." Han Seolmin said with a smile that seemed friendly but veiled. His voice was soft, yet a guileful tone was implied behind his words."I see you seem to be heading West. Is your goal to find Fenghuang's Jade Tears?"There was a brief sly glint in Han Seolmin's eyes, as if assessing Eadric Rong's every move and expression.Even so, Eadric Rong maintained a calm and benevolent face, like a pious and holy man in the martial world. He was well aware that behind the prince's smile, there was a deeper meaning."As I see it, Daozhan is traveling alone for this trip. We should arrive in Biratama Port City tomorrow. However, since the beginning of this journey, there have been so many competitors eyeing Fenghuang's Jade Tears," Han Seolmin continued, deliberately dangling his words to create a deeper impression.The smile on his face widened even more, adding to his striking sense of confidence.Beside him, Reverend Yunho remained calm, but his eyes narrowed slightly,
Amidst the Sea of Donghai.
After the unexpected encounter with the Thunder God Warship from Taiyang, Eadric Rong's journey aboard the Blue Dragon Ship towards the nearest port in the Western region had not yet reached its end. However, that encounter was just the beginning of another series of events.After the unexpected encounter with the Thunder God Warship from Taiyang, Eadric Rong's journey aboard the Blue Dragon Ship towards the nearest port in the Western region had not yet reached its end. However, that encounter was just the beginning of another series of events.With each passing day, more and more large ships appeared on the horizon, like a shoal of giant whales migrating on the surface of the sea. Their sturdy bodies waded through the waves, moving slowly but surely, all heading in the same direction—the port in the West. The ships, about ten in number, were of various types. There were commercial vessels sailing slowly, carrying full loads of merchandise, while warships could be seen roaring by, h
The Thunder God Warship – Part II.
On the deck of the Thunder God Warship, Arata Mingzhu slowly turned his body, his face remaining calm but with eyes as sharp as a hawk.He stared intently at the Blue Dragon Ship, then strode gracefully and confidently toward the edge of his ship. In his elegant movements, the nobility and authority he radiated were unmistakable.With a cold, unblinking gaze, he met Prince Han Seolmin’s eyes from afar, then offered a thin smile—a smile filled with veiled mockery.“Ah, so it’s the esteemed Prince Han Seolmin from the Land of Morning Dew. I was wondering who dared to greet me in this foreign land,” he replied in the same cold tone. “Is Prince Han Seolmin also interested in the hunt for the sacred relic in the West?”His voice, tinged with mockery, struck directly at Prince Han Seolmin’s pride. The prince’s face immediately darkened. His lips tightened, as if ready to retort with sharper words, but Prince Arata Mingzhu continued before he could respond.“However,” Arata Mingzhu continued
The Thunder God Warship.
Upon hearing the young foreign man’s words, the once-calm crowd, who had been leisurely enjoying their tea and conversation, instantly reacted. Everyone rose from their seats and hurried toward the northern edge of the ship.There, they witnessed a breathtaking sight—a ship from the Land of Taiyang, which had previously appeared as nothing more than a speck on the horizon, was now moving at an extraordinary speed.Taiyang, an island nation not part of the Longhai Continent, had long held a reputation as a master of seafaring. Their shipbuilding technology had long been recognized as the finest.“The speed of that ship is incredible! Just a moment ago, it was still a tiny dot, and now it’s as big as a watermelon seed!” one passenger exclaimed in awe.“Yes, it’s said that because their country is surrounded by the sea, they have developed highly advanced maritime technology, especially in shipbuilding,” another passenger added, nodding in agreement.Rong Guo, who was among the crowd alo

"Forgive me, Crown Prince," Eadric Rong said in a low tone, yet full of confidence. "If you trust this simple Taoist priest, please allow me to board a commercial ship. I don't want to attract attention, let alone make it obvious that I'm on a mission from you."The Crown Prince, who understood the intelligence behind Eadric Rong's decision, nodded understandingly.His thoughtful face showed respect for the Taoist master's decision."I understand, Teacher Tao Guo. Forgive me for being too full of worries. Carry out this mission as you see fit, for it is for the best," replied the Crown Prince in a gentle yet firm tone.However, the Crown Prince's worries did not completely disappear. Before Eadric Rong's departure, he sincerely gave a large bag of silver and gold that weighed hundreds of liang."May this fee be sufficient for your journey, Master Tao Guo," he said sincerely, ensuring that Eadric Rong did not lack anything during his trip.Eadric Rong only smiled faintly, realizing the
Vajra Tread Action – Part II.
"Hahaha!" One of them, apparently the leader of the group, took a few steps forward. His voice was cold and full of arrogance."It is precisely because you are from the Crown Prince's side that you have to deal with us. Tell the guest in the carriage to come out and kneel before me, asking for forgiveness. Perhaps, if I am in a generous mood, I will have mercy on him."The interloper leader's words were spoken with confidence, as if he was definitely in control of the situation.His eyes were sharp even though they were covered by the black cloth, but his evil intentions were clear. He had no intention of giving any chance to negotiate. His goal was only one: humiliation.Just as the loud laughter of the interlopers faded away, the sky was suddenly split open by the sound of thunder. Lightning struck, giving off a dazzling white light, making the dark night instantly bright.Under the lightning, the faces of the interlopers who had been full of confidence turned pale. The air around t
Vajra Tread Action.
At first, the rain came down slowly, just a trickle that soaked the road. But as time went on, the rain turned into a downpour, spilling beads of water that hit the ground with a boisterous sound.Lightning occasionally flashed across the sky, accompanied by the deafening rumble of thunder. Visibility was increasingly limited, forcing the coachman to squint his eyes, trying to see ahead in the thick darkness and pouring rain."Master Tao, should we continue our journey?" the coachman called out from behind the curtain dividing the coachman's seat from the train car. His voice was slightly shaken by the bad weather."The weather is very bad. Besides, the train can't go fast. The roads are now muddy and full of puddles. I'm afraid there's something ahead that could cause the train to derail or even crash."Although his voice was loud, there was clear concern behind every word. However, despite speaking so, the coachman did not stop the horses.The train continued to move slowly, though
The Jade Tears Hunt.
Silence fell over the pavilion. The Crown Prince's face looked more and more grim, as if it was covered by an increasingly thick fog of darkness.The news he had just received from the palace completely shook his heart. The State Master had gone to the Emperor and requested that the mission to find Fenghuang's Jade Tears also be assigned to Ninth Prince.The request, of course, had an ulterior motive.Behind his calm demeanor, the State Master clearly wanted to make a point—that if the Crown Prince failed to obtain the Jade Tears, and the Ninth Prince's hunting team succeeded instead, who else would be more worthy to inherit the Imperial throne? Who would be more sincerely concerned about the Emperor's health by finding that heirloom potion that was said to cure all diseases?The Crown Prince looked uneasy, his eyes staring blankly at the tea in front of him. In his heart, a big question raged: would Eadric Rong be willing to help him in this mission? Time was ticking away, and the pr
Whispers of Jade Tears.
His face looked rumpled, with deep wrinkles on his forehead and tense lines around his eyes. Whenever he passed the large window overlooking the garden, he paused and gazed out, as if hoping the view would calm his mind.His breathing was heavy and irregular, showing how deeply anxious he felt.Gao Xiulan, the Crown Prince's 28-year-old wife, watched intently from the side of the room.She stepped slowly up to her husband, carrying a tea cup in a steady but caring hand. Her face was gentle and caring as she offered the cup to the prince."Sir looks agitated. Is there something bothering you?" asked Gao Xiulan in a gentle tone, her voice full of empathy and concern. She looked at the Crown Prince with eyes full of curiosity and worry.The Crown Prince paused for a moment, accepted the cup of tea, and took a sip. His face looked a little better, but he still did not reveal what was bothering him to his wife.Gao Xiulan was used to the news and gossip circulating fast in the palace. She
