Fang Yun opened the page about the Illusion Body technique. It explained that the user could manipulate the air to create identical clones of himself, up to a maximum of seven. The method of mastering it was described in detail.“It looks like we’ll be here for quite a while, Zhao Wen. If you get bored staying here, you can stay in Lady Qian Hui’s palace,” Fang Yun teased with a soft laugh.“I know exactly what your intention is—you’re trying to set me up, aren’t you?”Fang Yun laughed heartily.“Fang Yun, it would be better if you trained in Lady Qian Hui’s palace. You can ask her to adjust the flow of time,” said Mahanta.Fang Yun and Zhao Wen both frowned in confusion. They exchanged glances, equally puzzled.“Adjust the flow of time? What do you mean, Grandfather?” asked Fang Yun.“Under normal circumstances, seven days in that realm equal one day in the human world. Later, you can ask Lady Qian Hui to extend the tim
Training
His arrival certainly drew the attention of the Genie clan living there. The aura of a human was strongly felt, though a trace of genie energy also flowed from his body—undoubtedly from the life crystal within him.After wandering around for the entire day, Fang Yun decided to return to the palace. Two giant gatekeepers, tall and massive like ogres, bowed their heads in respect as he entered. They surely did not wish to incur the wrath of Qian Hui if they failed to show Fang Yun proper respect.“Mother, I saw quite a number of humans imprisoned inside. What was their crime?”“There are several reasons, my son. Some failed to behave properly while on this mountain. They treated this land as though it had no spirit, no conscience, as humans often do. Others became obsessed with wealth, performing rituals in the hope that I would grant them riches. But I despise such people!” Qian Hui’s voice rose slightly in irritation.“Do they still have a chance
Dream
The young man’s lips curved into a wide smile. After stretching both arms, Fang Yun rose to his feet and prepared to resume his training. All of his grandfather’s explanations still lingered clearly in his memory.Fang Yun twisted his spear in the opposite direction, and the long spear split into two equal parts. Holding the short spears in both hands, he spread his arms wide and spun rapidly, creating a powerful whirlwind. Then, Fang Yun drew upon the energy within the Silk Wind spear to solidify the whirlwind he had formed.While still spinning, Fang Yun could see that five of his doppelgängers had already appeared. Just two more, he thought.Once again, Fang Yun channeled the energy from the treasured spear and spun even faster, producing an even greater whirlwind.Unbeknownst to him, what he was doing had already caused an uproar in the Genie kingdom. The citizens trembled in fear at the fierce whirlwind. They worried that this phenomenon—unli
The Three-Day Emperor
“Wouldn’t it be better if you showed this to the other officials first?”“There’s no need. I know the limits of their thinking! They’ll never be able to think this far ahead. I’m giving you this task—carry out these new policies for the next three days!” Qian Hui replied firmly.“Very well then. Starting today, I will begin the duty you have entrusted to me,” Fang Yun answered resolutely.After the meeting was dismissed, Fang Yun began his duty as Emperor for three days.---At the peak of Mount Huazhuo, Zhao Wen, who was training hard under the guidance of Mahanta, began to show remarkable progress. Of the three sword techniques for close combat, he had already mastered two. Only one remained.Mahanta, seeing Zhao Wen’s rapid development, could not help but smile broadly. He felt fortunate to have encountered two martial prodigies whose talents were nearly unmatched.Three days had passed since Fang Yun had taken t
The Search for the Third Treasure
After almost an entire day of meditation, Fang Yun finally saw the figure he had been waiting for. A middle-aged man dressed in pure white, with a handsome face and an aura of calm majesty, appeared floating in front of him.“Well done, Fang Yun. You have successfully obtained the treasure, the Silk Wind Spear. For your next task, you must seize the Water Core Machete. However, this weapon is in the possession of a dark cultivator—known as the strongest martial expert across the entire land of Xiang. He is infamous by the title Northern Venom. Until now, within the martial world, no one has ever surpassed his mastery of poisons, and no antidote has been found to neutralize them. Do you have any questions at this point?”Fang Yun stared blankly at the man before him, his mind still haunted by memories of the poison that had once infiltrated his own body. If the venom he had previously suffered through was already strong enough to nearly kill him, how much more terrifying would be the v
Bandits of Malino Forest
"Let me introduce you, this is our new friend, Yu Zhen. He comes from the land of Xiang," said Fang Yun to Zhao Wen when he and Yu Zhen arrived at the dining place where Zhao Wen was waiting."Well, it looks like we now have a traveling companion. My name is Zhao Wen." Zhao Wen extended his hand with a warm smile."Nice to meet both of you. I hope I can be a good host for you later on," Yu Zhen replied as he shook Zhao Wen’s hand.Fang Yun walked toward the owner of the eatery and ordered meals for the three of them. After that, he returned to sit and join his two friends."Yu Zhen, when we cross the sea, I pity our friend here. He always suffers from seasickness while on the ship. That’s why he usually locks himself in his cabin until the ship reaches its destination," said Zhao Wen.Yu Zhen untied a small cloth bundle he carried. With deft fingers, he pulled out a few dried leaves and showed them to Fang Yun. "These leaves come from the mint plant. In my land, they’re known to cure
Zhao Wen’s Action
“Hand over everything quickly or we’ll kill you!” The large-horned man had lost his patience. He had already drawn his huge Water-core Machete and was pointing it at Zhao Wen.Zhao Wen leapt down from his horse, followed by Yu Zhen who also jumped off. Calmly, Zhao Wen led his horse over and tied it to a tree. Then he returned to where they had been standing.“Take whatever treasure we have if you can.” A mocking smile curled at the young man’s lips.“You bastard… you’re asking for death! Attack and kill them!” the large-horned man snarled.Five men stepped forward to attack. Yu Zhen immediately drew his sword and met the incoming assault. Zhao Wen remained composed and did not rashly draw his blade — he could gauge the skill of these five mediocre assailants.In a few swift moves the five robbers were sprawled on the ground. Those cut by Yu Zhen’s sword died instantly, while those struck by Zhao Wen were still alive but suffered broken ribs at the very least.The large-horned man gre
Mad Sword
“Oh yes… before I kill you, it’s best you know my name so you won’t wonder about it in the afterlife. Remember this well — my name is Zu Gongli, known as the Mad Sword Warrior!”“Hopefully the man is just as insane as his nickname!” Fang Yun’s words grew sharper, stinging the ears of the bandit leader.“Kill those two young men! This one is mine!” roared the Malino Forest bandit leader before charging at Fang Yun with his bare hands.A swift battle ensued. After a few exchanges, Fang Yun quickly judged that the leader’s speed was equal to an early-stage peerless warrior. The immense inner force that Zu Gongli commanded matched his massive physique.Their duel unfolded with blistering speed and ferocity. They clashed dozens of times, inner strength striking against inner strength. Each collision of their energies produced small explosions that sparked like bursts of fireworks.Zu Gongli attacked relentlessly, his strikes pouring down in an unending torrent. Fang Yun was forced into def
The Past of Zu Gongli
“I surrender!” shouted Zu Gongli after dozens of slashes had already marked his body. His clothes were soaked with sweat mixed with blood. The open wounds burned with pain, forcing him to collapse to his knees.Fang Yun had deliberately refrained from channeling too much energy when using the Flying Spear Technique. He did not wish to kill the bandit leader of Malino Forest, for he needed Zu Gongli and his men’s assistance.Zhao Wen, Yu Zhen, and the rest of Zu Gongli’s men walked closer once they were sure the fight was over, and that Fang Yun had emerged as the victor.To Zu Gongli’s followers, Fang Yun, who had once appeared as a frail young man, was now a terrifying figure. One of the burly men even lowered his head immediately when Fang Yun stood among them.Fang Yun placed his hand on Zu Gongli’s shoulder, sending inner energy into the tall man’s body. He also sealed several of the wider wounds to stop the bleeding.“So, where exact
The Kill Order
Yu Zhen knocked on the gate repeatedly, but there was no answer from within. The gate guards inside the sect complex peered through the narrow gaps between the wooden slats; they were shocked to see Yu Zhen standing at the gate accompanied by a young man.One of them ran to report Yu Zhen’s arrival to the leader of the Golden Sword Sect, the man who had just staged a coup against Yu Zhen’s father.“Master, Yu Zhen is at the front gate with a young man. What shall we do?” he called.The man named Peng Fei frowned and stroked his chin. He thought for a moment—Yu Zhen wasn’t alone. If Yu Zhen had come by himself, he would not hesitate to order his disciples to kill him on the spot. “Do not open the gate, and do not make a sound. Keep him outside until morning!”“Yes, Master.”After bowing, the disciple ran back to the gate and signaled the others to remain silent.Yu Zhen wondered why no one was guarding the gate. He turne
