Elsewhere, so far away. That place was located at the edge of the expanse of the universe, thousands of worlds away from the Sun Clan. A region swallowed by eternal darkness, where there were no signs of life at all. There was no sound, no ripple of movement, not even the wind ever blew. That silence was only broken by the faint light of jade stones embedded in the cave walls, emitting a pale green glow that was the only illumination in that void. Inside the cave, an old man sat cross-legged. His body appeared calm, as if merging with the darkness, only illuminated by the dim light of the jade stones. His gaze was not directed at the surrounding room, but penetrated far away, as if able to cross the distance of thousands of worlds. That gaze was full of determination, staring in a direction that no one could be sure of, as if piercing the boundaries of space and time. Jhi Chen had met this man, even if only with his avatar. He was Bao Yang, his teacher. However, if Jhi Chen one day

Nin Tianlo nodded briefly. "Junior brother is always humble. Alright, let's set off." Without waiting any longer, Jhi Chen and the others immediately set off together. Not a single member of the Sword Dao Division dared to underestimate him anymore. Jhi Chen's reputation as a new disciple capable of challenging beyond his level had spread widely. Now, even though he was a new disciple, his name had become a celebrity among the disciples. As the group walked, the sound of their footsteps was rhythmic, but the journey suddenly stopped. From the side of the road, a group of Dragon Sun Division disciples stood blocking the way. They stood with their chests puffed out, their gazes condescending, as if wanting to show their superiority in front of other disciples. One of them opened his mouth with a sneer. "Oh, is this the new disciple who is being talked about so much? Truly still very young. Huuuuhhh, you act like a super genius, hiding your cultivation to be rank one. Now you're not h

Not long after, a handsome young man with a calm aura stepped forward. His movements were simple, yet every step seemed to carry a natural pressure. He clasped his hands, giving respect. “Greetings to Grand Elder Sun Bingqi.” “Young master did not need to be polite,” replied Sun Bingqi while nodding slightly. Sun Xiang then turned toward the thousands of disciples. He clasped his hands once again. “Greetings to all my brothers.” There was no arrogance, no falseness. Only calmness flowed from him, as if he had indeed been born to stand above. Hysterical shouts immediately came from the female disciples. “Ah, so handsome. I wanted to be able to walk by his side.” “Hahaha, you were dreaming. We were just ordinary disciples. No need to fantasize.” “If I could hug him, I would be willing to die today.” That commotion made the atmosphere even noisier. Yet among all the shouts, someone only snorted coldly. Sun Pei Pei stood in the crowd, her gaze stabbing sharply at Sun Xiang. “Did y

"Brother Jhi Chen, Sun Pei Pei had prepared the Five Elements Slaughter Formation. I did not know her plan. However the Law Enforcement Hall gave information that Sun Pei Pei had formed a coalition with the Weapon Forging Hall, the Array Hall, and several people from the Skills Hall. I was sure it was not a good sign. Father said you were a master of arrays. Could you create a formation to counter the Five Elements Formation?" "Brother, I could. But I needed time to prepare it." Jhi Chen snorted in his heart. "Want to get rid of me with a Five Elements Formation? You were really delusional. I did not even need to rely on a formation to break it." Meanwhile, when most people were busy collecting superior erangga stones, a masked disciple of the Weapon Forging Hall approached Sun Pei Pei. "Young master Pei Pei, I found a building that was still intact. It should be the core of this forbidden area. I hoped young master could speed up our plan." "Xue Xiu, I knew you were already impa

Silence enveloped the place. “This Jhi Chen was actually very strong.” That whisper sounded faintly from the crowd, yet everyone knew those words represented their thoughts. At that moment, both enemies and allies, men and women, experts of the ninth rank and the fourth rank, everyone present—whether they knew Jhi Chen or not—showed expressions of shock. Not a single one could utter a word. All were speechless. Their gazes simultaneously focused on Jhi Chen. Their faces were filled with astonishment, confusion, and disbelief. The reason why they reacted like that was not merely because of Jhi Chen’s beautiful counterattack. On the contrary, they saw a change in him. The aura radiating from Jhi Chen’s body was no longer the aura of the fifth rank high realm. Now his strength had risen drastically, having reached the eighth rank high realm. In a short time, Jhi Chen had managed to break through three cultivation ranks at once. His body was filled with flashing lightning, flickers
