At the same time on the battlefield, the formerly dispairing Nu Xiu was now brimming with confidence.Previously, she had lost all courage at the thought of battling Zhao Fao on a one-on-one stage, but it was a different matter if it was a group attack. Her thought process was that no matter how outstanding the young guy's combat prowess was, he surely could not successfully hold back everyone, and there would be at least enough time for her to activate several powerful talisman in her possess which were trump cards prepared by her father for her.Thus, when the call for the battle start sounded, she did not join the rest of the crowd who were charging at Zhao Fao and instead retreated silently while infusing her mana into a treasure talisman in her hand. Of course, this action did not go unnoticed by the spectators who were drawn by the peculiar glow of the talisman.Zhao Fao noticed this too and was slightly astounded at the foolish design of the talisman. While he would have sensed
Scuffle Combat
Since his arrival at this great world, Zhao Fao had only focused solely on perfecting his cultivation foundation instead of breaking through to the next cultivati toon stage. This was partly due tothe delicate nature of his primary art, the Celestial Refinement Art which required perfect attunity to the rules of the immediate environment. Thus, Zhao Fao had to take the time off to allow for the integration of the local laws into his foundation to nourish his foundation potential.If any other cultivator were made aware of Zhao Fao's line of thinking, they would be most astounded as the concept of a two-star cultivator making arrangements to integrate laws was most unbelievable. However, Zhao Fao's foundation was indeed unbelievable, rivalling that of a six-star in quality.The truth was that the Celestial Refinement Art allowed him reach the peak foundation of the world he resided in. The peak cultivation base of his home world was the six-star realm hence his previous potential but t
Lineageship Claim
The newcomer Elder was breathtakingly beautiful. Even with her old appearance, the subtle visages of her youthful beauty couldn't be hidden. Zhao Fao's eyes flickered as he observed her, not wholly out of surprise or appreciation at her beauty but because he sensed a formidable aura from her which surpassed any other present. At the same time, his gaze descended to the crystalline jade ruler loosely held in her grasp."What, do you want to be my disciple?" The lady smiled at Zhao Fao.Zhao Fao inhaled sharply and decided the farce had gone on long enough. He cupped his fists and bowed deeply to the crowd before speaking to no one in particular."Elders, I appreciate your presence and would also like to join your tutelages, but I'm in a bit of trouble. Earlier...""You can forget all about that. Second Elder dares not attack you anymore now that we're here," the boastful Elder from earlier smiled. "So, about the tutelage thing...."Zhao Fao put on a troubled expression, "About that, I

The spectators on the scene had long been numbed by the ever changing developments in the plot. Thus, when it all ended with Zhao Fao leaving the scene and flocked by his new masters, they subconsciously exhaled in relief.At the same time, a thought arose in their hearts; if they ever came across Zhao Fao in the future, they had to pay him the utmost respect. Any of the masters he took today was enough background to deter any schemes, not to mention that his own personal strength was scary enough.Strangely, everyone seemed to have forgotten all about the matter of the initial schemes which led to the heated scene a while back but the truth was the complete opposite. While the true culprit paced about in panic a couple of lis away, the exonerated Zhao Fao, chuckled secretly to himself as his mind wandered to the hidden hand who propelled the day's event.[Ding! Host is rewarded with Seven hundred five hundred and fifty-six essence points]In Zhao Fao's mind, the familiar notification
Epiphany
Not long after, Zhao Fao left with Alchemist Qin to complete the lineageship ritual.It turned out to be a rather simple process. The flamboyant Alchemist first used up some of his favours to equip them with enough security, then took Zhao Fao outside the sect to the resting place of the Nirvana Pill Sage to pay respect.Several kowtows later, Zhao Fao officially became a bonafide member of the lineage. Alchemist Qin followed up by transmitting the true Nirvana Pill Art, and Zhao Fao did not disappoint him as he quickly comprehended the legacy cultivation method and swifty upgraded the true qi essence at once."Many of the older powerhouses on our continent and even beyond owe favours to the Pill Nirvana Sage. As a member of the lineage, the first lesson I'll teach you is how to identify which ones do, and how to leverage on your knowledge at critical moments," Alchemist Qin said.With an outstretched finger, he sketched some runes in the air. These runes, as if guided by the heavenly
Safeguard Tribulation
The journey back to the Sect was noneventful to say the least. It was mostly Alchemist Qin manoeuvring the flying device while Zhao Fao sat in quiet rumination and sublimated his new comprehension.Before long, the familiar towering peaks of the Vermillion Sunfire Sect came into view. Alchemist Qin's expression was that of reluctance but he flew his Junior Brother to the residence of the First Elder according to Lady Jiao's instructions."It seems it'll be ten years before I see you again," he said and gave some advice. "Don't forget to cultivate your secondary profession as soon as possible, it will be of great relevance when you attempt to enter the six-star realm in the future.""Oh, how so?" Zhao Fao asked. For some reason, I formation about the six-star realm, including the mandatory tribulation to ascend to the realm, was intentionally sealed by the sect.Alchemist Qin hesitated. Infact, it was for good reason that the sect locked down any information about the six-star realm as

Donned in the most colourful apparel, the youth had lips the colour of the freshest cherry grapes, skin as smooth as a newborn's and a build which bordered the fine line between tenderness and strength. This combination in tandem with his dreamt eyes made him most pleasing to look at.There were actually many other mortals on the queue waiting to ascend the star platform and test their innate talent too, but the captivating youth stood out for obvious reason, leaving them zero chance to draw attention.Several meters away, the nineteen cultivators, whether male or female, had their gazes fixated on the beautiful youth. Under normal circumstances, the whole talent recruitment affair would normally barely interest them but they were fully attentive at the moment. One could only say that the youth was just that captivating."Is it weird that I feel some heart palpitations? Someone this beautiful shouldn't exist in this world, don't you think?""Right! Even the fairies from the Dream Nigh

"Even the most talentless mortal generally emits a weak radiance when they ascend the talent platform to test their spirit root. However, a case of no talent phenomenon at all is not only abnormal but also impossible," the speaker was the youth who was staring at Chen Hui strangely earlier."That is indeed true," the others seemed to remember this detail only after the remainder and frowned collectively. One of them racked his memory and suddenly shouted. "Could it be....""The Void Spirit Constitution?" Others completed for him, having arrived at the same conclusion as him. Their gazes towards Zhao Fao changed at this moment.Before, it was mostly out of awe and appreciation for his beautiful appearance, but they now had heavy expressions of wariness. There are rumours in the cultivation world about this peculiar talent, although the significance was that it was more of a curse. Apparently, there were some who were plaqued with such tremendous innate calamity that they were cursed fr
Stuck in a Simulation
The method Fang Ao found for Zhao Fao to unlock his cultivation qualifications was an ancient breathing method for meditation which doubled as a rather troublesome cultivation method. Now, the so-called trouble was due to the fact that the breathing method was reliant on slaughter to make any advancements.For example, Chen Hui–or Zhao Fao had to battle a Demon Beast at a higher cultivation realm to break through to the one-star realm and was battling another right now to ascend to two-stars. In truth, With Zhao Fao's original cultivation foundation and trump cards sealed, fighting across realms was a more difficult endeavor, but fortunately, the ancient breathing cultivation method did not limit him from utilizing external help as long as he personally delivered the killing blow himself.This resulted in the scene where Fang Ao stood guard and occasionally stepped in to attack at his bequest while Zhao Fao fought the Demon Snake fiercely. At the same time, Zhao Fao complained fiercel
