Two years had passed, and Xiao Feng had finally completed all of his training. He had perfected the entire set of slashes, despite the master asking him to focus only on the first four. But Xiao Feng's tenacity proved to be greater than expected.It took him six months to master the eight slashes, and another year and a half to comprehend the thrust. The fine thrust became his main trump card, and he spent every moment he could, honing his skills with the fine thrust sword.However, there was still something that bothered him. The Heavenly Slaying Slashes and Heavenly Sword Play. He had yet to gain any enlightenment on these techniques, and he knew that the divine manual was the key to unlocking even more power.The master could see that Xiao Feng was deep in thought, standing there blankly and sweating profusely. He knew it was time for the next step."Xiao Feng, I think it's now time," the master said.Little Xiao Zhu, who had been observing from the side, grinned excitedly at the m
After leaving the city, they ventured into another city. It was really hard to gather information on Xuan Ping, as he constantly hid himself wherever he went."Little uncle Xiao, this is no fun at all. How are you going to look for your junior brother? Let's at least go watch something entertaining for once," Xiao Zhu complained.Xiao Feng ignored his comment and continued to glare at a sign placed in front of a building, as people kept flooding inside. It had a grand name, with a gold imprint.The Lin Family Auction House.An idea flashed through Xiao Zhu's mind, causing a slight smile to appear at the corner of his mouth."Master, have you ever been to an auction house before?" he asked.Xiao Feng glared at him. "I meant little uncle Zhu!" he said, leaving his mouth wide open in surprise."No, and I have no reason to go," Xiao Zhu replied.Xiao Zhu's expression changed significantly. That wasn't the response he was expecting. On the other hand, Xiao Feng had been observing him from
Artifacts are objects imbued with spiritual power and possess various effects. Half divine grade artifacts, like the one being auctioned, are considered extremely powerful and rare.This particular artifact has been forged using rare materials and infused with compelling spiritual energy. It is capable of causing immense damage and providing special abilities that surpass what ordinary cultivators can achieve.Typically, such artifacts are owned by sect leaders, powerful elders, or other influential individuals."Yes, master!" Xiao Zhu nodded eagerly."I'm not sure why the Lin family decided to put an artifact of this grade up for auction, but from my intuition, all I need to do is acquire it for Xiao Zhu and unlock its true potential... hehe," Xiao Feng chuckled.The artifact possesses a spiritual essence that resonates beyond the lower realm and possibly reaches the divine realm. It is a growth-type artifact that increases in power as the user's cultivation level grows. It forms a s
"I remember telling this little guy not to spoil the fun of it, now see what he has done," Xiao Feng mumbled as he let out a sigh."Little guy, stop embarrassing your master," Xiao Feng said with a gentle tone.The young master of the Heavenly Sword Sect and his crew kept watching as they displayed their skills. Xiao Feng spoke again, this time with a patient and friendly demeanor, "Without wasting much of our time, let me have the golden fiery sword, so we can take our leave quickly. We have somewhere to be."The whole crew began to laugh, finding Xiao Feng's request amusing. They couldn't believe that a foundation establishment realm cultivator and a core formation realm master would dare to challenge fifty nascent soul realm cultivators and an immortal ascension realm master. They thought Xiao Feng and his group were courting death.The young master of the Heavenly Sword Sect let out a sigh of relief, realizing that his initial fear of tough enemies was unfounded. It turned out tha
{Yawn! After a thousand years, I finally see the brightness of the day. Being locked in eternal darkness was not pleasant, something I won't wish to experience again. Thank you. And what is your name?}“My name is Xiao Zhu.”[Little Uncle Xiao Feng, this sword can talk, its voice is resounding in my ears], he said, panicked.[No need to worry about that. It's a growth-type artifact that possesses consciousness. Just make sure it submits to you. They are known to be stubborn.][Yes, Little Uncle Xiao.]“Hmm, thanks to me, you've left that eternal darkness of yours. So what are you going to do for me in return?” Xiao Zhu said to the sword.“Yes, only the contractor can hear its voice,” he thought.{I promise to protect you until you die}, the golden fiery sword resounded in Xiao Zhu's mind.“Huh! Until I die or until you get destroyed? Well, I don't plan to die, at least not until I surpass Little Uncle Xiao, and I'm seeing that in the next thousand years,” he thought inwardly.“Congrat
"What?" Xiao Zhu exclaimed."Oh yeah, you're allowed to use sword Qi now... hehe," said Xiao."Little Uncle Xiao, what difference would that make when my energy is almost depleted?" he asked."What difference would it make when you're telling me?" replied Xiao."Damn! I know this is all about training me so I can be a strong companion who wouldn't drag you down, but isn't this too much?""Strong companion? The fact is you're too weak, you've never been in a perilous situation. There was a time when Xuan Ping and I almost lost our lives to a supreme realm powerhouse. That day was dreadful, so I want you to have a near-death experience, so it won't freak you out while hardening your resolve to grow stronger," Xiao explained."Come to think of it, Little Uncle Xiao, you haven't told me much about Martial Uncle Xuan Ping," he stated."That'll be a story for another day. Focus on your enemy," replied Xiao."Fuck!" he exclaimed."Hey little boy, I saw your fight with those lousy Heavenly Sw
Xuan Ping lay comfortably on his bed in his court, enjoying the privileges of being a core disciple in the Endless Sky Sect. As he relaxed, he couldn't help but feel a longing for his elder brother and junior sister. "Are they thinking of me too?" he wondered.A loud bang interrupted his thoughts as someone knocked on the door. Fatigued from his three years at the Endless Sky Sect, Xuan Ping began to wonder who it could be. The experience was nothing compared to when he, Xiao Feng, and his junior sister Xu Qing travelled the world together."Come in," Xuan Ping said calmly and soothingly."Good day, Senior Brother. The Sect Master wants to meet you," the visitor said politely."Okay, I'll be there in a jiffy," Xuan Ping replied.Once the junior left, Xuan Ping stood up and made his way to the Sect Master's Abode. As he entered, he saw the Sect Master with his back turned, hands folded behind him, sighing."You're here. I want to take you somewhere," the Sect Master said.Xuan Ping loo
The remaining three supreme beings chuckled as they finally relieved the guards, causing them to scurry away in fear."Kid, be on your best behavior or else..." one of the supreme beings warned Lan Wei.Lan Wei's ears almost burst from the overwhelming pressure of their Qi. He quickly blocked both his ears with his hands, groaning in agony."That is just a taste of what you'll feel whenever you make us pass through unnecessary stress," another supreme being remarked, their voices resonating with power.The four supreme beings closed their eyes in the darkness, entering into a deep meditation.Fear gripped Lan Wei, but this time he had made up his mind. For the past three years, he had endured hardship alone, hoping his grandfather would come and save him. But now, he knew he had to take matters into his own hands. He started planning his escape, searching for any loopholes in the prison cave.With a sense of urgency, Lan Wei began to cultivate using the single cultivation technique he
Xiao Feng's eyes lit up at what he had just seen. "Have I always been with this badass disciple? Just as I've planned," he thought within.Just as Xiao Zhu's face came in contact with his master, a smile crossed his face with a slight wink to his master."You have my heart," Xiao Feng used voice transmission.Xiao Zhu nodded in response, "Anything for my master.""Even the disciple is beyond repair," Blossom Peak commented.Li Yin was so annoyed. In one move, he launched his attack towards Xiao Zhu, who slightly parried it with the Heaven Secret Movement."This annoying secret technique you and your master adopted, it's seriously bothering me," Li Yin remarked.In another blow he threw, it contained close to eighty percent of his true power. It was obvious this blow had no regret in its resonance, ready to take down Xiao Zhu.Yu Wan Yi blocked it with all she had, but it still wasn't enough to hold him down. She felt pushed back as blood dripped from the corner of her mouth."Has he a
"That would prove starting the process with you a futile effort. I need to attach myself to the Moonshadow Pavilion one way or another," after looking at her with an auspicious eye, "Only you would be able to do that, can you?"He put a stop to Xiao Zhu's massage, staring auspiciously at her.She shrugged a bit, "Well, I don't think that would be a problem since I have some sensational attachment to a core member of the Moonshadow Pavilion. Or aren't you close to Li Yin?" she asked.Xiao Feng twitched the upper left corner of his lips, "That crafty son of a b****, so he initially was a core member of the Moonshadow Pavilion; now things just got more interesting.""I have one last question for you," he said."Ask away," she responded."Are you by chance the one this sword needs to be delivered to?""Oh, you meant the golden fiery, right? I don't know what exactly the Moonshadow Pavilion is plotting, but one thing I'm certain of is they want to use it as a means to curry favor from me."
With a hush, the three arrived at the court of the beautiful lady. At first, Xiao Feng felt hesitant, but seeing the dire condition of little Xiao, he had no other choice but to find a place for them. Considering the court that Li Yin had prepared during their first arrival in the Heavenly Sword Sect, Xiao Feng couldn't bring himself to trust him.This so-called Heavenly Sect beauty, Yu Wan Yi, seemed to be their only option. "Damn! This will be the first time I've ever entered a lady's court," he uttered softly.Upon hearing his words, Yu Wan Yi couldn't help but smile softly.They finally entered the court, and Xiao Feng took a moment to scan the entire space. He noticed and appreciated the cleanliness and warmth it emanated. "This feels quite pleasant," he thought to himself.Without delay, he found a place to lay little Xiao Zhu and made him sit cross-legged. Xiao Feng positioned himself behind him and gently placed both palms on Xiao Zhu's back, slowly transferring qi into his bo
Xiao Zhu turned slowly as he locked eyes with the instructor, unsure of how to react as he saw the intense predatory gaze in the instructor's eyes."Now I think I've gone too far," Xiao Zhu muttered softly to himself.The instructor's anger had reached its peak. Fueled by the comments from the spectators, the situation had spiraled out of control, contrary to what the instructor had expected. The crowd watched in shock as the instructor's next move unfolded before them, leaving them all the more astonished."The Heretic Subduing Sword."In a swift motion, he lunged towards the sword rack, grabbing a sword instead of a wooden or training one. He pointed it directly at Xiao Zhu, unleashing a torrent of sword qi that descended upon him."Hey, young disciple, I have trained you for so long. Don't you think it's time to prove your worth? My path is treacherous, only the strong can endure it. Either you follow my path, or you forge your own!"Xiao Zhu looked up at the rain of sword qi comin
The whole disciple shrieked in fear as Xiao Zhu effortlessly attacked three times, securing a straight win. The instructor, unable to bear the embarrassment any longer, grew annoyed."What! Yao Jun of the outer sect was beaten? And not only that, he wasn't even given a chance to fight back? Where the hell did that kid come from?" A disciple exclaimed."I heard he was left completely incapacitated. I doubt he can even move a limb," another disciple chimed in."Damn! I can't believe this is real. Come on, let's go check it out," the disciple suggested, determined to see for himself.Disciples flooded in as the news spread like wildfire throughout the outer grounds. Li Yin stood in the hall, watching with a creepy smile etched on his lips."Now things just got more interesting," he said, his voice filled with anticipation.Zhao Lusi stood behind Li Yin, his face squeezed with dissatisfaction at how things were unfolding. He knew both the master and disciple were strong, having witnessed
Finally coming to a realization, Xiao Zhu exclaimed, "What! The instructor?""Huh! Can't do it?" Xiao Feng asked with an eerie voice.Xiao Zhu lowered his head and blinked repeatedly.With a soft tone of confidence, Xiao Zhu began to murmur, "For years, I've immersed myself in sword slashes, not some fancy swordplay you lot are used to. My master even pushed me to the extreme, training with real opponents ready to take my life. Losing to you would be a disgrace and a waste of all my efforts, even though... I can't.""I'm ready," he said, addressing the instructor.The pretty lady, along with Xiao Feng, entered the training hall gallantly, standing on the sidelines. She mainly tried to avoid drawing attention among the group of disciples.Xiao Feng wondered why he went along with the pretty lady he had met at 'SWORD'.Twenty minutes ago...Xiao Feng was deeply engrossed in flipping through each manual. Unfortunately, he let out a sigh of disappointment."This can't be right. I've been
[Outer disciple training hall]Excitement filled Little Xiao's heart as he entered the Heavenly Sword Sect training hall, but it all faded as their training didn't give him the feeling he was expecting. Xiao Feng had trained him in his Heavenly Secret Movement, embodying the ferocity of his slashes. He was promised the main teachings that brought about explosive power. In one word, Xiao Zhu was taught based on pure combat techniques.He glanced at each of the disciples as they performed their sword dances and swordplay, holding the tenderness of pure beauty. But Xiao kind of hated the idea as he stared at their performance intently.His eyes caught a glance at a sign that read 'Outer Disciples Training Hall'.Xiao Zhu let out a soft sigh, “No wonder it all looked like child's play in front of me. Well, let's just sit and watch them display. I might as well learn one or two lessons from their performance.”He found a seat and watched as all the disciples were engrossed in what they we
Xuan Ping was already fed up with the fact that Little Xiao Zhu didn't even budge after waking him up for the past few minutes. He let out a sigh, covered Xiao Zhu with a blanket he had infused with his energy, and began to head out.As he reached the entrance of the room they were in, he tried opening the door in the usual way, but it didn't budge. "Wow!" he exclaimed. "This Li Yin bastard thinks he can confine me with this mere seal? Impossible!"With a single touch, he easily broke the seal's restrictions. A cool, fresh breeze rushed in as he took deep breaths. "No wonder they've made so much progress. This location has a good environment, rich with earth energy," he thought.He took a step out of the room and started exploring the entire sect. Once again, he was amazed by its size. It was almost bigger than three cities combined.Xiao Feng noticed a pavilion with a grand gold emblem of a 'SWORD' attached to its entrance. "What does it mean?" he wondered. "Well, I won't know until
Inside the Heavenly Sword Sect, Xiao Zhu walked closely behind Xiao Feng as they entered the prestigious sect.Lin Yin elegantly opened his hand fan and strutted with pride, whistling gently in the cool breeze.When Xiao Zhu caught sight of a gigantic sword, he couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow, so cool!" A faint blush colored his cheeks."What's so cool about it? It's just a broad sword. You should visit your master's sect and witness the vast beauty and history it holds," Xiao Feng said, sounding ecstatic."Point of correction, it's our sect's protection array!" Li Yin refuted."Well, it's all the same. Judging by its appearance, it looks like a broad sword, which is inferior compared to my sect," Xiao Feng replied.Li Yin glared at him and asked, "Oh... and which sect do you come from? Is it from this province or from a faraway one?""That's not for you to know," Xiao Feng shot back, returning the glare.As they passed by, the female disciples of the sect hailed Lin Yin, while castin
