Kaishi Realm.
After receiving the order from the Lord of Ice Island to investigate the Thessul Race in the Northwest Territories, Guo Jiang did not immediately begin his journey. Preparation took precedence over haste, wisdom born of experience."I'll finish some of my plans on Ice Island before leaving for distant lands. Let me take three or four days off, then I'll head to the Ancient City!" Guo Jiang informed with measured tone, discussing his decision with Lin Heng who agreed after speaking with Lin Haoyu. Guo Jiang's Master gave his blessing, understanding the disciple's needs.Guo Jiang re entered the Tower of Death Palace Dungeon in the Elf Realm with renewed purpose. The familiar gate welcomed him like an old friend, ancient magic recognizing its conqueror.After being knocked unconscious due to receiving heavenly tribulation through lightning, he had not yet attempted the fourth floor of the Tower of Death. The breakthrough had taken precedence, body and spirit requiring time to adjust.To
Kaishi Realm – Part II.
The sound of a robotic machine was heard with announcement, and Guo Jiang was already palpitating with anticipation. Numbers defined power in measurable terms."Your new status is as follows! Character name: Guo Jiang. Job: Swordsman. CP: 49,500. Attack: 20,000. Defense: 7,500. Evasion: 8,500. Accuracy: 6,500. Health Points: 7,000!" Each statistic represented transformation beyond previous limits.Guo Jiang could hardly believe his new status displayed before him. The growth was exponential, each floor multiplying his capabilities.Guo Jiang continued his ascent from the fifth floor to the ninth with relentless determination. He faced a series of bosses with impressive martial arts skills that would challenge lesser cultivators. Here's the story of his journey through higher realms.Fifth Floor: Boss Sphinx. On the fifth floor, Guo Jiang faced the Sphinx with its lion body and human head. This monster posed puzzles instead of battles, testing mind rather than body.Despite the difficu
The Immortal's Fall.
This incident happened almost a thousand years ago in forgotten history. The event would shape the fate of entire regions, echoes rippling through centuries.When the sky on the western horizon turned red like blood, after several days a strange storm phenomenon littered the horizon. The celestial display was unprecedented, terrifying in its beauty and destruction."What is causing these space storms that are littering our horizon with unnatural fury?" Voices rose in panic across villages."Look at this disaster. Space dust and sand are covering all the crops without mercy. We're going to have crop failures!" Farmers despaired, watching their livelihoods buried."Even breathing has become difficult with each passing hour. The air is now completely polluted!" Mothers covered their children's faces with cloth, protection inadequate against the choking atmosphere.That was some of the conversation among the people of the old South, West, and Northwest regions. The panic spread across the
Guo Jiang's Journey Begins.
Bracelet: Uncertain Purity that shifts between states, which increases attack points through unpredictable power surges.Necklace: Fire Soul burning with eternal flame, which increases attack through concentrated destructive energy.Earrings: Bloody Torment that drip crimson light, which increases agility through pain transcended and transformed.No news has ever been heard of Azazel's ten armor artifacts after their scattering. They are scattered throughout the southern and western regions of the continent, hidden by fate. Seekers searched for centuries without success, treasures remaining elusive.However, in the last three hundred years, ten secret clans have emerged that dominate the southern and western regions. No one knows how these ten unknown clans suddenly became the most influential in the western and southern regions without apparent cultivation heritage. Their rise was meteoric, suspicious in its speed.Although they weren't part of the alliance of powerful sects on the S
Xathanael's Urgent Mission.
The figure, who turned around and looked at Guo Jiang with widening eyes, his face filled with shock. After recognition dawned, he hugged Guo Jiang tightly and began to cry with overwhelming emotion. Years of worry released in that moment."Brother Guo Jiang, you are still alive! Fatty is so relieved to hear the news that you have returned to this Ice Island," Fatty said in a voice filled with admiration and joy. Tears streamed down his round face, unchecked and unashamed.The two of them exchanged old stories of past adventures and shared hardships. But Guo Jiang had to end it quickly despite desire to linger. "I'm afraid I'll be late for the scheduled departure of the ship to Suzhong City in the Northwest! Sometime after I'm done with this mission, I'll visit you properly!" The promise was sincere, friendship valued despite duty.As a farewell gift that spoke of generosity, Fatty gave Guo Jiang a trendy outfit complete with accessories. A hat or cap was included, a typical Northern
A Disdainful Welcome.
It wasn't even late in the day when Guo Jiang arrived at the Moonlight Mansion with anticipation. The journey had been long, dust coating his simple robes from hours on the road."This place is one of the best hotels or inns in the Ancient City, Young Master," said the carriage driver as they arrived in front of a tall, four story building. His voice carried pride, as if personally responsible for the establishment's reputation.The glow of lanterns glittered in front of the hotel with warm amber light, making the sign "Moonlight Mansion" stand out against darkening sky. However, the lobby was strangely quiet despite the welcoming illumination. There were no people moving in or out with the bustle typical of a prosperous hotel, silence heavy and unnatural.The restaurant or cafe directly adjacent to the lobby and reception area also appeared gloomy despite decoration. Although the restaurant was quite large and lit by colorful lanterns that cast rainbow shadows, the atmosphere was any
The Emerald's Authority.
With a condescending expression twisting his features, Wuying said with venom. "Words without proof, it's just mere gossip from a hired driver! I won't believe that this young man has enough money to stay in the best room in our Moonlight Mansion!" The servant put on a haughty face, arms crossed.Guo Jiang didn't let these demeaning words bother him in the slightest. He remained calm like still water, expression unchanged."How much does it cost to stay in the best room at Moonlight Mansion?" Guo Jiang asked casually with mild curiosity. The question was simple, direct.Still maintaining a sneering expression of superiority, Wuying replied lazily with deliberate slowness. "One thousand mid grade Energy Stones, and they must be paid in advance!" His face was full of challenge, certain of victory. "Do you have that much money on your person?"Guo Jiang then took out a green gemstone the size of an adult's big toe from his pouch. The green gemstone was an Emerald of exceptional quality,
The City's Dark Secret.
Sitting on a soft mahogany chair covered with thick cushions that cradled him, Guo Jiang enjoyed the service of the nobles offered there. Tea steamed, dishes arrived with perfect timing.The coachman Guo Jiang hired also enjoyed the special service with gratitude. His room had been comfortable, treatment exceeding expectations for hired driver.While enjoying hot Hong Cha and goose liver with steamed buns that melted, Guo Jiang began to dig up information from Cui Cheng. At that time, it was 9 a.m. in morning sunlight, or according to Cui Cheng the Si Period. The time when snakes emerge from their nests to hunt, auspicious hour for discovery."Manager Cui, there is one thing I have been wanting to ask since last night." Curiosity demanded answers."Just say it young master, anything you wish to know." Permission granted freely.When Guo Jiang questioned Manager Cui with casual tone, his sensitive ears as a practitioner noted something. His cultivation in the early Dao realm called Kai
Wux Building Enterprises – Part I
The bustle and life of the Ancient City during the day was vastly different from that at night. Guo Jiang observed the city's life as the sun shone brightly overhead, casting long shadows. There was no trace of the ominous aura he had felt when he arrived the night before, darkness banished by daylight.The streets are currently crowded with various horse drawn vehicles and spiritual animals carrying goods. All levels of society were busy with their activities, especially around trading areas where merchants hawked wares. The energy was palpable, commerce flowing like river current.However, one building caught Guo Jiang's attention with its imposing presence. It had a sturdy structure and reached five floors into sky, dominating the skyline. The architecture spoke of wealth and power consolidated."Wux Building and Enterprises!" Guo Jiang read the large signboard on the fifth floor of the building with interest. "Isn't this the Wux Clan Building? Well, this clan has really flourished

He sat in the lotus position on his bed with spine straight. Deep in meditation, he regulated his breathing and conserved energy for night ahead.As night fell when the Moon was still visible on the horizon, an amazing event occurred with timing precise. Its faint glow and halo around it provided minimal illumination, shadows deepening everywhere.At the back of the Moonlight Mansion in the service area, a young man dressed in white appeared. He wore a black coat complete with a hood that concealed his features, walking quickly in a quiet alley near the mansion. Movement was silent, footsteps making no sound on cobblestones.Not long after his departure from the alley, from within the quiet passage another figure appeared. Dressed all in black from head to toe, he walked quickly and even began climbing towards the sky. Towards the horizon he ascended, defying gravity through cultivation technique.This ability can only be performed by high level Dao practitioners with sufficient power
