"Senior, are you alright?" The Qi Refining cultivator, noticing that Ye Chen had suddenly stopped and that his aura had begun to fluctuate, couldn't help but feel worried and hesitant. Roused by the call, Ye Chen quickly smiled and shook his head. "I'm fine." The guide looked puzzled and uncertain, since Ye Chen's aura had now become stable and seemed far calmer than before. But he didn't dare press further, and began leading Ye Chen to obtain his new identity. He also answered every question Ye Chen asked along the way, including that Blue Moon City had been relocated to become a commonwealth city after the earlier incident. The place they were now headed to wasn't where Ye Chen had first arrived, but a mountain peak that now emerged above the clouds—one of several floating peaks surrounding the main summit of the Beggars' Alliance. Its name was no longer Blue Moon City, but Cloud City. A city that truly sat above the clouds, entirely inaccessible to mortal humans. When Ye Ch

Because from everything he'd heard, starting from Li Yan's death, what had happened to the Gu Family didn't seem like mere coincidence. Thinking back, it seemed the Wei Family had once only had three Foundation Establishment cultivators—and one of them, a mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, had had his entire cultivation destroyed by Lin Xinglan. But Gu Jiang had said that when the attack on the Gu Family happened, the Wei Family had at least ten Foundation Establishment cultivators. Where had they gotten that many Foundation Establishment cultivators from? As an ordinary Qi Refining family, the head of such a family would typically have only one, two, or maybe three Foundation Establishment cultivators. At most, perhaps five. But this Wei Family... Ye Chen's expression turned serious as something suddenly occurred to him, and he asked Gu Jiang, "Does Brother Gu know the main cause of what happened? Was there some other motive, or orders from some other power pulling t

After everything, Ye Chen, now sitting in the inn he had rented, began looking at the five elemental swords in front of him with a serious expression. Starting with the Azurewood Sword of the wood type, then the Dark Crimson Fire Sword of the fire type, the Mountain Heart Sword of the earth type, the Heaven Forging Sword of the metal type, and finally the Blue Tide Sword of the water type—which cost him 15,000 spirit stones, all of them mid-grade magic artifacts—Ye Chen began refining all of them to become his primary weapons. Following the guidance from the Void Origin Sword Technique in refining them, Ye Chen once again read through the sword technique and couldn't help but feel a bit excited. Although only three sections remained, this sword technique was truly extremely powerful. Just look at the first level called "Five-Sided Destroyer Sword," a simultaneous attack of five swords from five different ele

"Everyone be careful!" Filled with rage, Li San, now looking grim, began warning everyone. But besides Li San, who possessed a defensive magic artifact, almost no one could withstand what was coming next. Because at that moment, Ye Chen, who had entered the formation and disguised himself using the darkness of night, began manipulating his five flying swords. The Void Origin Sword Technique's first level, Five-Sided Destroyer. Using all five elemental swords in the air simultaneously, forming a sword attack focused on speed and the unification of all five elements at once, what the people inside the formation saw was a constantly shifting flash of light. Sometimes white, sometimes dark, red, green, and gold, appearing and vanishing suddenly. "Puft!" By the time they realized it, they found themselves already pierced by a sword, or their heads already severed. The speed and attacks were nearly impossible to predict, and before long, the three remaining Qi Refining cultivators

Ye Chen was stunned and even felt a chill run through him upon hearing that story. Because it wasn't just low or mid-level cultivators—even high-level cultivators at the Core Formation stage could be killed so easily by this formation. Not merely killed, but leaving behind no corpse or soul whatsoever. This terrifying annihilation formation certainly seemed to deserve the name Absolute Killing Formation. "Yes, all of it is true! I truly witnessed it with my own eyes!" Liu De nodded seriously, then suddenly smiled. "Ever since that incident, everything has become controlled, and Dayun City has become a safe place for low-level cultivators like us. That's why many low-level cultivators have chosen to settle and live in this city. Unfortunately, although this place is very safe, this region also lacks cultivation resources, so this place has only become a place to live for people like us." "Em..." Ye Chen understood and nodded silently. This place, though quite special, wasn't a r
