"So that's how it is." Wang Chen nodded after Chu Yan finished explaining everything. "Well, Brother Chu Yan, you already said that you wanted to travel on your own. So I won't try to stop you.""Brother Chu Yan, our journey together was short, but... thank you," Yun Xuhua said quietly.She hadn't become particularly close to Chu Yan, but she respected him.The others also bid him farewell one after another, until only Fang Yi remained silent, becoming the last person to speak."Chu Yan, this is the path you've chosen for yourself. I sincerely wish you the best."Fang Yi smiled gently.Although she was somewhat reluctant to see him leave, she had no intention of stopping him."Senior Fang Yi."Chu Yan walked over to her with an unusually serious expression."Even if we're separated by a great distance, I promise I'll come back to see you... and when I do, I'll marry you.""So... wait for me!""Oh...!"No one had expected such a sudden proposal.Fang Yi herself froze for a moment, need

Chang Sung, a Martial Saint cultivator, was one of the commanders of the elite forces of the Immortal Gate Sect.He had been assigned to lead a team investigating Hazhe Forest, a place rumored to contain an unusually large number of star elements. Their mission was not only to collect those star elements but also to uncover the source that allowed so many of them to appear in a single location.Now, Chang Sung was already deep within Hazhe Forest with his team, who had split up to search different areas.He had just climbed out of the crater of an active volcano after finding nothing inside. Suddenly, he raised an eyebrow as he sensed two familiar auras approaching."Hm? Those are Miss Ye Ning's and Miss Fang Yi's auras, aren't they? But..." Chang Sung frowned, sensing something strange through his spiritual perception. "Rather than making wild guesses, I'd better meet them and confirm it myself."Not long afterward, Ye Ning and Fang Yi arrived before him."Senior Chang Sung!""Miss Y

Wang Chen spent some time forging artifacts. Thanks to his ability to manipulate various elements, he could create copies of many different materials. However, he was limited to seventh-rank materials, matching his current cultivation level.Even so, Wang Chen could only create materials that corresponded to the elements he had mastered. And even if they matched his elemental affinity, he still needed a thorough understanding of those materials before he could replicate them.So, if Wang Chen wanted to forge an eighth-rank artifact, he would need genuine eighth-rank materials, which he was currently unable to create with his own power.Still, being able to produce seventh-rank materials already saved him an enormous amount of time and resources.At the moment, Wang Chen was merely training his abilities rather than seriously forging artifacts. Most of what he made were random artifacts, simply to gain more experience and refine his craftsmanship.Meanwhile, Yun Xuhua silently watched

The explosion in the main hall immediately caught the attention of every disciple of the Eastern Star Sect. Seeing the blast, they all hurried toward the scene.Meanwhile, Shu Ran Yu and the elders had emerged from the explosion completely unharmed."Who..."Shu Ran Yu's face twisted with fury."WHO DARES DO THIS?! SHOW YOURSELF!"His furious roar echoed throughout the sect, creating cracks in several nearby buildings.At that moment, his greatest concern was his son. He couldn't stop wondering whether the severed head from earlier had truly belonged to Shu Xiang."This will be the day the Eastern Star Sect is destroyed. You should have prepared yourselves better."A woman's gentle voice drifted down from above.Shu Ran Yu and the elders looked up to see a beautiful woman gazing at them with icy eyes. Beside her floated a calm-looking young man as the two slowly descended from the clouds.Shu Ran Yu had originally intended to charge at the culprits, but he stopped after sensing that b

Wang Chen remained where he was from the very beginning, watching the battle as if he were enjoying a movie.Of course, stray attacks frequently came his way, but he protected himself with a barrier bubble. Every attack that reached him was completely blocked, not even causing him to move an inch."As I expected, this ended way too quickly. I thought she'd at least kill them one by one." Wang Chen chuckled, but his laughter gradually faded as he fell into thought. "Huh... I don't even feel sorry for them, even though so many people just died."Wang Chen felt no sympathy at all, even though they were human lives."Well, that's just how this world is. I guess it means I've adapted to it well enough, so there's no point dwelling on it." Wang Chen smiled bitterly. "Life is incredibly cheap in this world. All I need to do is protect myself and the people who matter to me."Wang Chen stood up and flew toward Yun Xuhua, who had just slaughtered every member of the Eastern Star Sect, leaving
