Thud!!!"Not yet, let's go again," Tatsuo said, determination evident in his voice."Enough for today," Master Renald interrupted, emerging from the main hall.Oasis had been sparring with Tatsuo for days, and Tatsuo had never come close to winning."Whew, Tatsuo's head," Tyla remarked to Liora as they watched, noticing the swelling from repeated sparring."Greetings, Master Renald," Oasis said, paying his respects, followed by the others."I will get straight to the point," Master Renald began, his tone serious."A month ago, the Shadowfen and Stormcaller families rebelled against the kingdom, along with every family under them," he continued."They have cut ties with the Evergreen family and declared independence."He paused, letting the gravity of his words sink in before continuing."Oasis, your Master Conri Bluemoon has summoned all the disciples of the Bluemoon family and those of families under the Bluemoon," Master Renald said."Not only the Bluemoon family but other Great fami

The day of the opening of Tír na nÓg arrived, and a crowd of students and instructors gathered near Snow Blossom Hall, buzzing with anticipation.The atmosphere was electric, with excited chatter and anxious whispers filling the air.!!!Suddenly, Great Instructor Leonardo Graymare unleashed his oppressive aura, a golden energy radiating from him, demanding attention.The powerful aura pressed down on everyone, causing the students to fall silent and look up at him as he floated above the hall.His presence was commanding, his energy palpable, and even the most seasoned instructors felt the weight of his power."Tír na nÓg is about to open in a few minutes," he announced, his voice carrying across the crowd."This is a great opportunity for those of you entering. Despite the disputes between families, I wish you all great luck."His eyes scanned the crowd, his gaze intense."You will meet cultivators from other kingdoms inside, and it will be survival of the fittest. Some of you here m

Creeaak...Oasis entered the temple, finding it illuminated by wall-mounted magic lights.Ahead, a large door stood imposing, flanked by two smaller doors on either side."What is this place?" Oasis thought as he moved towards the center of the room, scanning the surroundings. "Which way to go?""Divine Peak," Oasis muttered, releasing his spiritual energy to scan the area.Ouch!!!He stumbled, feeling a spiritual attack as the energy from the Divine Peak bounced back at him."Damn, I can't even peek at what's on the other side," he smirked."Fine, I'll choose this one," he said, pointing to the door on the left.Cautiously, he approached and slowly opened it, stepping into the unknown. As soon as he stepped through, the door slammed shut, trapping him inside."What happened? I can't see a thing," he muttered, trying to open the door again but finding only a wall where the door had been.A few breaths later, Oasis calmed himself, thinking of a solution.Twa!!!Suddenly, the place was i

Oasis gritted his teeth, frustration and determination mingling in his expression."I need to move faster," he thought, quickening his pace.The seemingly endless passage stretched infinitely before him, but he refused to be deterred.The thought of finding and reuniting with his friends fueled his resolve."I won't let this place trap me," he muttered, pressing on, each step a testament to his unwavering will.Oasis continued walking, occasionally popping food cubes into his mouth.After some time, he noticed a shadow in the distance as he approached."Is that me?!" Oasis exclaimed in surprise."CONGRATULATIONS! YOU HAVE REACHED YOUR FIRST TRIAL. DEFEAT HIM AND PROCEED TO THE NEXT ONE," a voice echoed.As Oasis drew closer, he saw his younger self, from before he had started cultivating."Wow, I was so small," Oasis thought. "This must be around the time I met Master Elias."The young Oasis lunged at him, attacking without hesitation.With a swift flick of his finger, the older Oasis

"Dammit, I've been walking for so long," Oasis thought as he moved through the endless passage."I've met myself a dozen times, but it doesn't end," he mused, feeling a blend of frustration and determination.Oasis kept moving forward, not knowing how long he had been walking or how many trials he had passed. Yet, his resolve had not wavered."Huh! Another me. Let's get this over with," Oasis muttered, spotting another version of himself in the endless passage and rushing toward him without hesitation.His other version evaded the attack, leaving afterimages behind and a trail of blue flames."Dancing Phoenix!" Oasis thought, recognizing the technique. "This is me when I entered this passage. I'm certain of it.""Dammit, it means we are equal in strength. This trial doesn't end. What am I doing wrong?"Oasis wondered, recalling all the versions of himself he had fought and defeated after reaching this place.Oasis and his other version fought on equal footing, exchanging blows and usi
