Chapter 1 - Black Bone Valley
"Trash will always be trash. You are not worthy of keeping this spiritual stone, Lin Feng."Dan Wuji’s laughter still echoed clearly in Lin Feng’s ears, sharper than the piercing cold wind of Black Bone Valley.Lin Feng touched the vertical scar that split his left eye. The wound felt hot, as if Dan Wuji’s spiritual blade had just ripped through his flesh a second ago.Two years.For two years, he had swallowed insults. For two years, he had been treated like a doormat at the Cloud Sword Sect.Dan Wuji had not only seized his cultivation resources but also his dignity in front of hundreds of other outer disciples."Lin Feng, hand over that stone or I will make you crawl out of here!"The glint in Dan Wuji’s eyes at that moment was full of ruthlessness. And Lin Feng, who was fed up, refused to bow down. The result? His left eye was nearly blinded, and that scar became a permanent identification mark that throbbed every time he took a breath."Feng, daydreaming again? Do you want to die
Chapter 2 - Price of Honor
The howling of the wolves was not merely the sound of common animals. It was a death knell.Lin Feng stood firm. His grip on the hilt of his sword tightened. The black blood left over from the battle against the bear was still wet on his cheek. That fishy stench actually triggered the adrenaline within his chest."Feng, there are too many of them!" Zhang Hao shouted. His voice trembled violently.Pairs of glowing purple eyes emerged from behind the thick mist. One, two, then dozens. The pack of Purple-Eyed Demon Wolves began to surround them. They moved nimbly, circling their prey in a deadly formation.The glint in the monsters' eyes triggered a hot throb in the scar on Lin Feng’s left eye. That wound given by Dan Wuji two years ago suddenly burned intensely. The memory of the pain as the spiritual knife ripped through his flesh now became the fuel for uncontrollable rage.Lin Feng did not need a long flashback to remember what a bastard Dan Wuji was. This scar was his permanent iden
Chapter 3 - Echoes of the Emperor's Regret
The darkness behind the cliff crevice seemed to breathe. The gentle wind flowing from within felt cold, carrying the scent of ancient earth and something mysterious. Lin Feng stood at the threshold of the dark, his eyes staring straight ahead without a shadow of wavering resolve."Feng, listen to me for a second." Zhang Hao pulled Lin Feng’s shoulder, forcing his friend to turn around. "The writing on that stone... 'not everyone may leave'. That is a death warning, not just a decoration! This is no longer an inner disciple mission. We have to go back now, we report to the masters, this is beyond the limit!"Lin Feng released Zhang Hao’s grip with a slow but firm movement. "Go back? To where? To a place where we have to beg Dan Wuji for our ration of spiritual stones? To a place where you will continue to see the back of the woman who betrayed you?""But this is crazy! This place feels wrong!" Zhang Hao’s voice rose, echoing against the cliff walls. He glanced briefly at the dark crevi
Chapter 4 - The End of the Cave
Lin Feng remained frozen at the edge of the lake, his heart beating fast in sync with the air pressure crushing his lungs. The woman on the throne rose to her feet, her trailing white robes seemed to glow even though there was no sun inside this cave. Every step she took as she descended from the small island created delicate ripples on the shallow lake water.She was so beautiful, her face pure white with sharp eyes and long eyebrows. Her nose was straight with moist red lips. Her long black hair was coiled atop her head and pinned with a golden needle.The pressure that previously felt like it was smashing bones suddenly softened, though her aura remained as cold as ice. The mysterious figure now stood only a few steps in front of Lin Feng. Her extraordinarily beautiful face appeared more human, though that gaze remained piercingly sharp."Do not let fear eat away at your brain, boy," the woman’s voice sounded lower, no longer cutting like the scraping of a sword. "Tell me, how coul
Chapter 5 - Vibrant from the Sky
Only a dozen or so steps after Lin Feng and Zhang Hao left the mouth of the crevice, a sudden, thunderous roar shattered the silence of the valley. The ground beneath their feet shook violently, forcing them both to stop and turn around.Before their eyes, the cliff wall that had previously stood firm began to crack. Massive boulders tumbled down, sealing the dark hole where Lin Feng had spent the last three days.Thick dust billowed high into the air as the entire crevice collapsed completely, in an instant, the place became one with the cliffside. There was no longer a dark opening, no longer a cave. Zhang Hao stared with a face that turned deathly pale while clutching his chest."Feng! You got out just in time!" Zhang Hao exclaimed, his breath coming in short gasps. "By the heavens, if you were a second late, you would surely be dead, buried under that pile of giant rocks!"Lin Feng remained silent, staring at the ruins. He remembered the message from the woman in white robes who h
Chapter 6 - New Strength
Lin Feng and Zhang Hao’s footsteps sounded heavy as they trod upon the stone stairs leading to the main gate of the Cloud Sword Sect. Their blue robes, which were once neat, were now tattered, covered in dried bloodstains and black mud from the bottom of the abyss.The wounds on their bodies had indeed closed, but the remnants of the battle in Black Bone Valley still lingered clearly on their haggard faces.As soon as they passed through the gate, the eyes of the outer disciples began to fixate on them. It did not take long before whispers filled with mockery started to creep through the crowd.To them, Lin Feng and Zhang Hao remained two pieces of trash who had somehow lucked into the title of inner disciples a month ago."Look at that, our hero has returned!" shouted a stout disciple while laughing boisterously. "It looks like their first mission was a grand success... a success at becoming monster snacks to end up looking that ragged!"Zhang Hao gritted his teeth, his hands clenche
Chapter 7 - Revenge
The atmosphere of the inner disciple dormitory felt much calmer compared to the commotion at the Mission Reception Hall. Lin Feng and Zhang Hao stood in front of their simple wooden room doors.In their hands, the pouches containing spiritual stones felt heavy, providing a warm sensation that spread to their palms. For Zhang Hao, this was the greatest treasure he had ever possessed during his time as a cultivator."Hao, use these stones to stabilize your foundation," Lin Feng said in a serious tone. "Do not rush to absorb everything at once. Remember the Qi filtering method I taught you. Discard all the energy filth before you pass it into your dantian."Zhang Hao nodded firmly, his eyes shining with excitement. "I understand, Feng. I won't let you down. I feel this technique truly makes my breathing and movements feel lighter. See you in three days at the duel square!"After watching his friend enter the room, Lin Feng locked his own door. He sat cross-legged on the hard bamboo bed,
Chapter 8 - The Scholar Hall
According to the rules of the Cloud Sword Sect, every inner disciple is required to choose one of the four main pillars of the sect to hone their specific abilities. The Battle Hall for those thirsty for power, the Law Enforcement Hall for the guardians of order, the Medicine Hall for the pill refiners, and the Scholar Hall for those who delve into knowledge as well as arrays and runes.That morning, at the crossroad leading to these halls, Lin Feng and Zhang Hao stood facing each other. Zhang Hao’s eyes sparkled as he looked at the magnificent building of the Battle Hall."Feng, are you sure you don't want to come with me? With your current strength, the instructors at the Battle Hall would surely be very interested in training you," Zhang Hao invited.Lin Feng gave a thin smile while patting his friend’s shoulder. "Our paths are different, Hao. You are a sword that must be sharpened through impact, while I feel there is something more important to be found within the piles of books.
Chapter 9 - Departure
The yellowed pages of the Falling Cloud Records creaked softly as Lin Feng turned them. Under the dim light of the Scholar Hall library, his eyes were fixed on a single name written in fading gold ink, Zhan Tianshu.Zhan Tianshu was not merely a legend, he was the First Cultivator. He was the one who mapped the flow of Qi within the human body and created the earliest cultivation techniques. All the moves, spells, and elemental techniques praised by masters worldwide today were but small fragments or derivatives of his original teachings. In the end, he died because he was betrayed by his four disciples.However, what made Lin Feng shudder was the fact that the original technique of the emperor had vanished without a trace, as if history had deliberately erased it from the face of the earth."Only this?" Lin Feng muttered with a tone of disappointment he could not hide. He closed the book, sending fine dust flying into the air. He felt as if he had just found the door to a treasure va
Chapter 10 - The Crow Siege
Behind the lush, blackened foliage on the outskirts of Chenglai Village, several figures in black robes stood frozen like shadows merging with the darkness.Their eyes flashed with pure ruthlessness as they watched the group of Cloud Sword Sect disciples approach. One of them let out a low laugh while smirking, a sound that resembled the scraping of dry bones. "The fish have entered the net," he whispered while stroking a bone flute that radiated an evil aura.They were not merely hunters, but demonic beast controllers who had long prepared a systematic ambush.With subtle hand gestures, the mysterious men ordered the creatures under their control to remain still at specific spots within the forest. The scent of blood and dark energy began to fill the air, waiting for the right moment to explode and tear apart anyone who dared to step further into their domain.Meanwhile, Lin Feng’s group walked vigilantly under a scorching sun that was beginning to be obscured by dark clouds. Beside
