The halls of the Azure Sky Sect were quieter than usual, yet the stillness carried a weight that made every footstep echo unnaturally. Even the faint rustle of robes seemed amplified, as though the very stone walls were listening. The Sect Leader had not summoned anyone to speak of the primordial aura that had appeared the day before, but every disciple and elder felt the aftershocks in their own way. Whispers ran through the corridors like hidden currents, delicate but persistent, and those trained in the perception of laws could detect the subtle shifts in tension that pulsed beneath the surface.In one of the upper observation halls, the Grand Elder paced slowly, his hands behind his back. His robe, dark and immaculately pressed, swished with each measured step. “Our guest has talent, that much is certain,” he said without looking at his advisers. His voice was calm, steady, yet it carried an authority that made the younger disciples bow slightly even at a distance. “But talent alo

The air had already settled by the time Aeris realized her hands were clenched.She stood within the inner training grounds of the Azure Sky Sect, surrounded by disciples who pretended nothing had happened, yet every single one of them was quieter than usual. The primordial aura had vanished almost the instant it appeared, but its afterimage remained in her mind like a pressure she could not name. It was not power in the way cultivators understood power. It was older, heavier, carrying a sense of desolation that made her illusion law tremble for the briefest instant.That alone unsettled her more than the aura itself.Illusions were lies given form, yet for that moment, her law had felt as though it was being watched by something that understood truth too well.She exhaled slowly, forcing her fingers to relax.Around her, instructors moved with forced normalcy. A few disciples whispered before being silenced by sharp glances. The sect bells had not rung. No emergency formations had be

Morning light spilled slowly across the mountain peak, touching stone and pine with a gentleness that felt almost unreal after what had occurred beneath the mountain. The Azure Sky Sect looked the same as it had the day before. Clouds drifted lazily between peaks. Distant bells rang to mark cultivation hours. Disciples moved along suspended bridges and carved stairways, unaware that the heart of their mountain had already chosen a new master.Elior stood at the edge of the platform outside his residence, his robes unmoving despite the breeze. From the outside, he appeared calm, composed, and untouched by disturbance. Only he knew how tightly his awareness was folded inward, how carefully he was restraining the changes rippling through his soul.The Book of Laws had gone silent again.Not dormant. Not asleep.Silent in the way an ocean becomes still after swallowing a storm.Elior breathed slowly, grounding himself. He did not rush to examine what had been engraved. He did not chase un

The primordial aura faded as abruptly as it had appeared, like a breath drawn in by the world itself.Across the Twin Moon World, the momentary sense of desolation lingered far longer than the power that caused it. Vast skies returned to their calm blues, seas resumed their gentle tides, and spiritual veins continued to pulse beneath the land as they always had. Yet those who had felt it knew that something was wrong. The aura had not been violent, nor had it carried killing intent. Instead, it had been ancient, lonely, and absolute, as though a fragment of a forgotten era had briefly awakened before falling silent once more.In the Western Sky, elders of various sects emerged from seclusion, their expressions dark and uncertain. Many attempted to trace the disturbance using secret techniques, divine senses, or law resonance, but all efforts ended the same way. The trail vanished the moment it began, as if the source had never truly existed within the world’s boundaries. Some dismisse

The night above Azure Sky Sect was calm, almost deceptively so.Mist drifted lazily around the mountain peaks, curling around ancient pavilions and suspended bridges like a living thing that had learned patience. The stars shone faintly through thin clouds, their light fractured by layers of spiritual formations that had guarded the sect for generations. To an ordinary disciple, this was just another quiet night. To those who stood higher, it felt like the moment before a storm that had not yet decided whether to exist.Deep within one of the inner halls, the Sect Elder who had earlier spoken to Elior sat alone.The chamber was wide and circular, its floor engraved with complex law patterns dulled by age. Spirit lamps burned softly along the walls, their flames steady, their light warm. The elder had long since dismissed the attendants, choosing silence over comfort. His eyes were closed, his breathing slow, his mind drifting through layers of perception as he reviewed the state of th

Elior stood respectfully as the Sect Leader concluded his explanation of the Twin Moon World, the competition, and the path that lay ahead. By the time the last words faded, Elior understood far more than before. Not just about Azure Sky Sect, but about the world itself. The distribution of power. The gap between continents. The meaning of true genius.The Sect Leader did not ask Elior any further questions.Instead, he looked at him for a long moment, eyes deep and steady, as if engraving Elior’s presence into his memory. Then he spoke calmly.“You will stay within the sect for now. Prepare yourself. When the time comes, you will represent Azure Sky.”Elior nodded once. “Understood.”The Sect Leader turned slightly and gestured with his hand. “Aron.”From the side of the hall, a young man stepped forward immediately. He wore the robes of an inner disciple, his posture straight and his movements disciplined. His cultivation was solid, already at the late Law Manifestation Realm, yet h
