On the high platform of the martial arts hall, Lakun looked thoughtfully at Linfen's location, a barely perceptible glint flashing in his eyes. He nodded slightly, giving this guard a second glance for the first time, but even so, it was only a slight acknowledgment.The vast martial arts hall didn't fall silent because of Linfen's unexpected victory; instead, it further motivated the participants. Everyone was determined, especially those at the lower-level, the Bitter Mortal Realm, who fought with fearless ferocity. This made things difficult for the higher-level participants, making each battle incredibly dangerous. For a time, Linfen set a good example for them, and the competition in the martial arts hall reached its most intense moment.While everyone was cheering for the matches, Linfen closed his eyes, enjoying the moment of tranquility. He squinted slightly at Lichen, who was looking a little nervous beside him, and said with a calm smile, "Lichen, don't be afraid. With your

The swirling crimson dawn, half-hidden behind tall trees and the main road, cast a myriad of colors upon the awakening earth. Gradually, parting the dazzling clouds, the sun appeared like a fireball, pouring its fiery red light onto the trees and scattered fragments of the road. The bright white spots of sunlight on the road marked the arrival of a new day. Three days had passed since Linfen left the Samsara branch family. Heading east, it seemed as if drawn by a subconscious impulse, he was freed from the constraints of time, inviting the sunlight and the gentle breeze as his companions, enjoying the journey immensely. With a pure and spiritual heart, he communicated with the mountains, rivers, and plants, feeling as if he had let go of everything. If it weren't for the occasional worries in his heart, he would probably be even more serene. The heavy, sweltering air seemed to stand still that day; Linfen's burning face waited anxiously for the wind, but it didn't come. The sun bl

Linfen was pulled along by Xin, turning countless corners until he was almost out of breath. He stared intently at Xin, looking at his nonchalant demeanor, and couldn't help but roll his eyes at him. Up until now, it seemed that Xin and the others had forgotten to give him a bowl of water, and just kept leading him around aimlessly. However, Linfen was soon overwhelmed by the excitement of him about to obtain the real sword. The area was overgrown with weeds, resembling a forest where the tall grass seemed to bury them. Linfen and Xin arrived here, panting, and began to move forward step by step through the overgrown wilderness. "Hey Xin, how much longer until we get there! We've been walking for over an hour, when will this ever end!" "Almost there, almost there." Xin said nonchalantly, as if the distance wasn't far at all. Linfen couldn't help but grumble inwardly, but he didn't slow down at all, keeping close behind Xin. Pushing through the weeds, a small cave entrance ca

The surroundings became completely empty, with dazzling swords stuck diagonally in the ground, endless sword intent surging and churning. In the name of the swords' lament, Linfen slowly stood up, bowed deeply to all the swords, and then looked at the Seven Absolutes in his hand with a dazed gaze, sighing inwardly. "Hey, Xiao Luo, why are you sighing like that? Shouldn't you be happy?" Xin asked, puzzled. "The sword is indeed wonderful, but it also brings me immense pressure. Only by constantly strengthening myself can I prevent the sword from becoming tarnished. But only I know my own situation: my eight meridians are blocked, and my energy gates are difficult to open. I don't know when I'll be able to enter the next realm!" Xin smiled calmly. "I thought you want to talk about something else. Oh, so this is what you mean. Whatever, as long as you stick to your own ideas, that's all that matters. We only live once, so as long as we're happy and have a clear conscience, why bother

Cultivating after pushing one's limits always yielded twice the results with half the effort. A slight smile appeared on Linfen's lips. As he continued to cultivate, because the second meridian, the breast meridian, was blocked, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth could not enter. Therefore, he continuously cleansed and expanded the meridians that were already open throughout his body. Linfen's first meridian was now more than twice the size of an average person's, which was why he possessed such astonishing mental power—all thanks to the continuous expansion of his meridians. Now, as soon as the blockage in his breast meridian was removed, he could immediately enter the second meridian's opening stage, the best proof of his diligent practice. Taking a deep breath, he opened his eyes, which flashed with a dazzling light. The intense cultivation after pushing himself to the limit left him feeling refreshed and invigorated. The surging spiritual energy also made him gasp in s
