Inside his quiet private chamber, Han Nian sat cross-legged atop a cultivation cushion. His breathing was steady as the surrounding spiritual energy slowly revolved in rhythm with each breath. Although his cultivation remained stable, not the slightest trace of satisfaction appeared on his face.He slowly opened his eyes."It seems I've truly reached the limit of what Violet Milk Pills can offer. They can still provide me with a small amount of spiritual energy, but it's far too insignificant compared to what my body now requires. With my combat strength already capable of matching a First-Star Earth Realm cultivator, I need a pill of a much higher grade. The Clear Cloud Pill is the most suitable choice for me at this point. Even though my cultivation is still at the Diamond Realm, both my physique and cultivation technique have already surpassed ordinary limits. If I continue forcing myself to rely on Violet Milk Pills, I'll only be wasting my time. Unfortunately, the main ingredient

At the sect's training grounds, Luo Feng was practicing with the pair of swords Han Nian had recently forged for him. His movements were still somewhat stiff, but they were already beginning to display the balance between offense and defense that his master had taught him. The twin blades shimmered beneath the morning sunlight while sweat soaked his body as he trained tirelessly since dawn.The moment he sensed someone approaching, Luo Feng immediately stopped his movements. Turning around, he saw Han Nian strolling toward him with both hands clasped behind his back. His master's expression was as confident as ever, making it impossible for anyone to guess what was on his mind. Without hesitation, Luo Feng sheathed both swords, bowed respectfully, and said in a voice full of reverence, "Master, you've finally arrived. This disciple has been practicing exactly as you instructed yesterday without daring to slack off even for a moment. Although many of the movements still feel unfamiliar

The atmosphere before the gates of the Handsome Men Sect of the Sky Continent grew far more tense after Han Nian openly admitted that he was the sect leader they had been searching for. The dozens of elderly cultivators who had arrived riding Fourth-Rank Spirit Beasts no longer regarded him as an ordinary young man. One after another, they secretly released their spiritual senses to probe Han Nian's cultivation level. Strangely, every one of them obtained the exact same result. Not a single person could perceive the limits of the young man who was not even twenty years old. It felt as though they were staring into a bottomless abyss that swallowed all of their perception. Even so, not one of them retreated or laughed at Han Nian.The old man in the crimson robe who had spoken with Bai Mu earlier stepped forward. His gaze was as sharp as a sword blade ready to pierce through his opponent's body."In that case, excellent. I won't have to waste any more time looking for this sect's leade

The relaxed smile on Han Nian's face disappeared without a trace. The Rainbow Meteor Sword in his hand let out a soft hum, radiating rainbow-colored light that blanketed the sky above the battlefield.Without saying a single word, Han Nian raised the Rainbow Meteor Sword. The spiritual energy within his body began circulating at an astonishing speed.The Nameless Sword Technique was instantly activated.Whoosh!Han Nian's body vanished like a gust of wind.In the very next instant, he appeared right in the middle of the crowd of Earth Realm experts.His sword moved at an incredible speed, every swing tracing trajectories that were impossible to comprehend.The cultivators closest to him immediately widened their eyes. They sensed an unmistakable change.Han Nian's movements were far faster than before. Even the angles of his slashes had completely changed. They looked much simpler, yet were far deadlier.Swoosh!The rainbow-colored sword flashed."Ahhh...!"A heart-wrenching scream in

Seeing Luo Feng standing there lost in thought while staring at his master's face, Han Nian immediately cleared his throat loudly before shouting, causing the air in the courtyard to tremble. “Hey, Luo Feng! What are you daydreaming about? Hurry and find a tub or a wooden barrel to soak in! Don't keep your master waiting too long. If you keep spacing out like that, when are you ever going to become stronger? You already look like someone who has lost his soul before the training has even begun!” Han Nian said at length, folding his arms across his chest. His expression looked serious, yet a faint smile still lingered at the corner of his lips.Luo Feng, who had been imagining just how brutal the upcoming training would be, was jolted back to reality. His body even jumped slightly in surprise when he heard his master's shout. “Ah... y-yes, Master! I'll go find one right away!” he answered stammeringly as he lowered his head. Without wasting even a second, he rushed into his residence.
