This current situation happening right now was a result of Song Fan trying to possess Long Wei by taking over his soul. But luckily Long Wei immediately sensed that something was wrong and reacted quickly, sending a projection of his consciousness here and then using his Sword Intent to trap this fragmented soul of Song Fan.However, they were at an equilibrium of power at the moment.Song Fan was unable to carry out his possession of Long Wei because he was trapped by the Sword Intent, but Long Wei’s Sword Intent was only strong enough at the moment to trap him.This stand-off had started back in the Lesser Pocket Realm when that Centipede demonic beast had stabbed him when Long Wei was protecting Longmin.Long Wei had long realized that the one who was in control of that Centipede demonic beast was Song Fan, who had escaped death by avoiding Long Wei’s Sword Intent.After infiltrating Long Wei’s Sea of Consciousness and soul, Song Fan waited for the right moment to start his possess

This angered Song Fan beyond belief.He had gone through so much danger to enter this Lower Realm, only to find out after he entered that an extremely powerful force of some kind had surrounded this entire Lower Realm itself, effectively ensuring he was trapped here with no escape. Weaken and having no physical body he tried to possess a human cultivator, but as soon as he did, that powerful force surrounding this Lower Realm suddenly targeted him.Song Fan’s entire being had become so terrified at that moment that he could practically sense the presence of the yellow springs calling for his disembodied soul.After realizing that each time he tried to possess a human from this Lower Realm that extremely terrifying power would sense him and immediately treat him as an enemy, he decided to possess a Rank 5 Spiritual Beast from the Fire Phoenix Clan instead.After that incident happened around a few hundred years ago, he plotted and schemed up until now. He had even discovered that after

~Three Years Later~On the Central Continent within the Imperial Palace of the Xingyun Royal Family, both the crown prince and his father, the Emperor, were seen in the large throne room.“Father, can you explain to me why I still have to suppress my cultivation at the peak of the Foundation Building Realm? I have since reached that realm six years ago!”The Emperor stared at his son who was pacing back and forth below the stairs leading up to the throne he sat on. He didn’t mind his son’s tone of voice since he could understand his frustrations. He himself couldn’t imagine being forced to stay at a bottleneck when it was possible to break through it, as well as watch others younger than him surpass his cultivation realm.The Emperor got up from his throne and approached his son.Bao stopped his pacing and watched as his father came up to him and placed his hands on his shoulders.An expression of fatherly love overtook the Emperor's features as he said.“Son, you know why this step i

“It’s my Soaring Cloud Steps.”Hearing that, Long Wei’s suddenly felt his stomach churn as he thought to himself.‘Why did it have to be his Soaring Cloud Steps? He’s already fast as it is, if his Soaring Cloud Steps reaches the Greater Mastery realm then I’ll have a hard time keeping up with his movements like before. Dammit! Maybe I should have learned a movement technique after all instead of focusing on my Heavenly Sword Scripture and forsaking everything else for attacking power.’Long Wei began regretting his past decision.‘Stupid old man, how can you call yourself my master if you went ahead and allow me to make such an unwise decision?! Weren’t you supposed to be guiding me and ensuring that such things didn’t happen?! I thought you were some combat expert for father to have appointed you as the Battle Division’s Head Elder, but your nothing more than a crazy old man that likes torturing little kids!!’Back in the Lesser Pocket Realm when Long Wei had shown off his battle ins

In one of the eight states of the Central Continent was a medium-large almost remote town with a population of several thousand people. Both mortals and low-level cultivators lived here, with the cultivators following the Emperors orders of not involving the common mortals on the surface, but would go against them in the shadows.The Emperor’s power might be great, but his influence would stretch too thin if he had to deal with the small-time cultivators in these semi-large and medium towns. So there were cultivators that would do despicable things to the common folks in dark, not fearing any consequences.There was a four-story Inn somewhere on the outskirts of the town’s center. In one of the rooms on its third floor, Li Shen could be seen sitting cross-legged in a meditating position.Suddenly, a knock came from the front door that echoed throughout the room.Li Shen swiftly opened his eyes and stared at the door with a cautious expression.“Who is it?”Li Shen asked with a solemn
