BENEATH HEAVENS GAZE

BENEATH HEAVENS GAZE

In a world where mortals strive to defy the heavens, where mountains float and oceans roar with spiritual beasts, the cultivation world stands on the edge of chaos. The Radiant Court rules above all—seven Thrones, unshaken for ten thousand years. They decide who rises. They decide who falls. But there is a legend whispered in silence. A name spoken only in riddles. A figure who once stood above the heavens… and walked away. Chen Fi. No one knows where he came from. No one knows how strong he truly was. Only the oldest cultivators remember the tremble in the world when he last raised a hand. They say he once refused the title of Immortal Emperor. They say he gave up the Nine Dao Thrones. They say he saw something beyond power… and chose peace. Now, hidden in a quiet valley unknown to most maps, he lives as a humble hermit—drinking tea, fishing under cherry blossoms, and raising a single orphan boy. But peace never lasts. When the world begins to stir—when arrogant sects send disciples to claim his land, when the Thrones grow fearful of a man they could never control—old echoes awaken. Chen Fi does not seek conflict. But should conflict find him… He reminds the world why it once knelt.

Chapter: Chapter 30 – When Heavens Burn
The sun hadn’t risen, but the valley glowed crimson.Wei Zixin knelt on a stone platform carved with immortal runes. His torso was bare, revealing spiraling veins of spirit light dancing beneath his skin. The air shimmered with condensed qi, almost choking.Chen Fi stood before him, eyes calm, palm pressed to Zixin’s back.“This technique draws from celestial fire,” Chen Fi said. “Few can survive its imprint.”Zixin grunted, jaw clenched. “I will.”Flames erupted.The stone platform cracked. The runes ignited. Wei Zixin screamed as a tide of burning qi surged into him.His meridians twisted. Bones popped. Blood vaporized into steam.“Hold it!” Chen Fi shouted. “You must imprint the mark or it will consume you!”Zixin clenched his fists. “Crimson Sky Codex—First Seal!”A flaming lotus appeared on his chest.The pain vanished.Zixin opened his eyes, now glowing red-gold.Later that night, Zixin trained under a waterfall of molten qi, slicing through liquid flame with his sword.Chen Fi

Chapter: Chapter 29 – Blood Oath Valley
A thunderclap split the sky.Wei Zixin stood at the mouth of Blood Oath Valley. His robes, once clean, were stained with sweat, dirt, and dried blood. His aura burned like fire—refined, sharpened, focused.Peak Foundation Establishment Realm. One step away from Core Formation.Behind him, Chen Fi hovered above the valley floor, calm as ever, his hands hidden within his sleeves.“This place will test everything you’ve learned,” Chen Fi said. “Within lies a sealed battlefield. Those who died in hatred left behind echoes. Fight them. Break them. Or be consumed.”Zixin nodded. “I understand.”Chen Fi’s gaze lingered. “I’ve placed a time array. One hour inside equals one day outside. If you die in there, you die for real.”---The valley roared as Zixin stepped through the barrier. Shadows lunged at him—the first specter was a spear-wielding warrior, Early Core Formation Realm, eyes red with bloodlust.Zixin activated Shadowless Steps. His form vanished, then reappeared with a thrust of hi

Chapter: Chapter 28 – Shadowless Steps, Endless Blade
Wei Zixin sat cross-legged beneath the frozen pine grove. His robes fluttered gently in the spiritual wind swirling around him. Above, frost spiraled down in delicate flakes, yet not a single snowflake touched his skin.Chen Fi stood before him, one hand behind his back, the other extended outward.“Control is not restraint. It is domination over what you let pass and what you destroy.”Zixin's breath synced with the wind, his core pulsing steadily. He had only just stabilized in the Late Foundation Establishment Realm, but his qi channels felt vast, stretched by battle and awakened by instinct.“Today, I’ll teach you Shadowless Steps. Dodge not with your body—but your intent.”---Without warning, Chen Fi tapped the air.The world turned black.A blade shimmered into view. Then another. Then ten.Zixin stood, surrounded by dozens of afterimages of Chen Fi, all striking at once. A storm of phantom blades fell.Heart pounding, Zixin cleared his mind. At the last instant, his body flick

Chapter: Chapter 27 – Sky Trial: Where Wings Are Forged
Wei Zixin stood at the edge of the Windspire Plateau, a cliff so high it pierced the lower clouds. Beneath him, wind roared like a beast denied freedom. His chest rose and fell with anticipation.Chen Fi stood beside him, silent as always."You felt it," Chen Fi said. "Your body is no longer earthbound. Cultivation flows in your limbs. It's time to fly."Zixin nodded. After mastering Voidpiercer, his cultivation had surged. He now stood firmly at Mid Foundation Establishment Realm, his spirit core beginning to take shape."But first," Chen Fi added, "you must survive the Sky Trial."---The wind split open. A spiral of storm clouds formed overhead. Lightning crackled.From within the dark sky, three winged beasts descended—Skyrazor Vultures, each at the Peak Foundation Establishment Realm. Their feathers shimmered like obsidian blades.The lead vulture dove, talons glowing with condensed wind qi. Zixin leapt into the air, barely dodging as the cliff exploded behind him. He drew his sw

Chapter: Chapter 26 – The Sword That Defies Shadows
Wei Zixin stood barefoot in the heart of the jade training ground, his breath steady, his shirt soaked with sweat. Around him, spiritual energy pulsed like the tide.Chen Fi circled him slowly. "You are no longer a mortal boy. You are a cultivator. Today, I teach you an immortal sword technique—one that severs illusion from truth."Zixin swallowed. "I'm ready."Chen Fi raised his hand, and a sword of translucent starlight formed in the air. "This is Voidpiercer. Few techniques can touch both body and soul, but this one burns falsehoods from existence. It takes more than power to wield. It takes clarity."He thrust his palm forward. The sword dissolved into beams of light and entered Zixin's body. A sudden pain exploded in his chest as memories flooded his mind—visions of ancient sword masters, endless duels, mountains split open by a single strike.Zixin dropped to one knee, teeth clenched. The images seared themselves into his spirit."Rise," Chen Fi said.Zixin stood, and the ground

Chapter: Chapter 25 – Ember Steps
Wei Zixin’s bones ached, but his spirit surged.Morning light crept across the valley as Chen Fi stood at the edge of the training platform, watching Zixin with calm detachment. The boy knelt in deep meditation, his body wrapped in faint golden runes—each inscribed by Chen Fi’s hand the night before.“Today, you form your Foundation,” Chen Fi said. “And you will do it while moving.”Zixin opened his eyes. “I thought Foundation Building required solitude—quiet meditation.”Chen Fi shook his head slightly. “For mortals, yes. But your bloodline isn’t mortal.”He raised a hand. The earth trembled. The training field split into tiers, forming five wide steps—each one radiating intense spiritual pressure.“These are the Ember Steps,” Chen Fi said. “Each one weighs on the soul and tears at the meridians. Only those with awakened potential can walk all five.”Zixin stood slowly, sweat already on his brow. “And if I can’t?”“Then you stay on the first step for a year. Or die trying.”Zixin too
