Demon Lands (7)
Word of Ed's spirit-picking had already reached all the powers. Old Iba understood the basis of Lady Mi spreading this news. The Jade Phoenix alliance was already considered the weaker of the two alliances. She hoped that the two clans paid attention to this development. If possible, send someone to kill this boy before he matures. As wicked as her thoughts were, the powers were silent.After all, no one knew where Tie Nse was or what he was doing, nor did they know where he was hiding the boy. No one knows what said boy looks like or his name. As for now, he was but a myth.Ed on the other hand was not aware of how his influence has risen in the past few days. He was still journeying through the desert. As they moved, he heard talks of a place called the salt bed. He could tell they were close to this place as they moved because they had travelled through the last night instead of stopping to rest like always.He had always wondered why a bunch of martial artists were travelling like
Demon Lands (8)
Even though he had fought before, that was at the foundation level and he was not sure how much strength he had now compared to others. All those he had fought before were on spirit-picking below and some above that, so he should be able to beat those in his level easily. Since he could beat those at spirit-picking when he was at foundation level, he should be able to beat those at spirit-awakening while at spirit-picking, right? But he was not sure just how different each of the levels was. He would only know when he fights. At least before he enters the demon lands and his cultivation is sealed, he should know what he is capable of.Meryl was shocked by how calm Ed was sitting there. Even though she knew that these wagons were specially built to take this storm, she was still scared that something would go wrong. Seeing Ed sitting so calmly, she wondered what the basis of his courage was. He did not know about the special wagons, so why wasn't he scared? Now that she thought about i

"Let's go," the captain said turning to follow Ed."Captain what are you doing?" the vice-captain asked."This was too simple. If I'm right, we are really walking into a trap like he said," the captain answered."Captain, who are you going to believe, him or me?" Meryl asked indignantly."How can you tell if this is not an illusion? If it is, you are in it too. If it isn't, he is in the illusion. His perception is higher than even you, talk more of all of us here. We would walk into a burning fire without knowing. Which do you think is more likely? We have superior capabilities with illusions or he does?" the captain asked. They all seemed to see his point.They had heard that Ed broke Meryl's enchanted eyes. If this was so, then the odds are they are walking into a trap."So, are you also classifying me in this 'we' you are talking about?" Meryl's eyes darkened."Meryl, do as I say! You are just angry about the possibility that he is right," the captain ordered and followed Ed with h

They all looked toward the location of the voice. Surprisingly, it was above their head. Three young men and two girls stood in the air looking down at them with eyes filled with amusement and disdain. They were all dressed the same in blood-red robes and looked to be around the same age."My senior apprentice-brother asked you a question," one of the men spoke. They looked to the one leading the group. It was a fairly handsome boy with a sharp nose and glassy eyes. Those words confirmed the captain's worst fears. These were students of a sect. From their attire, their sect must still have some influence in the demon lands."Brother, since you know who we are, you don't mind telling us who you are, right?" the captain asked. They were all guarded. He called the young man brother because he could see that they were all in the lower spirit-awareness stage, except the leader, whose cultivation looked to be around the peak of spirit-awareness; a step ahead of his."Hand over the bad of Et

"Come," he said.They all had complicated looks on their faces. What was this? This had never happened to them before. A spirit-picking junior was acting like this?"It looks like you have no fear," the girl who had just killed the group said indifferently."You want to fight so badly? I will indulge you," she said, pointing her sword at Ed. She saw that Ed did not flinch at her words, making her angrier. She appeared before him instantly. Ed recognised this skill. Blink? No. only those with at least soul awakening cultivation can use this skill. This was a much slower and mediocre martial skill, made to imitate the blink technique.She arrived before him in seconds and with a swing of her sword, a wave of water qi filled the air. A normal spirit-picking junior would have felt as though he was drowning. Ed felt like he was splashed cold water. The wave formed a seal around him as though to suffocate him. With him inside the large ball of qi trying

Finally, the leader moved.They were five of them, now only two remained. The leader's face was too ugly to behold and nothing could be said for the other disciple holding his dead sister apprentice and Meryl; horror.Ed was too scary. It was as though he had no actual fighting pattern or style; like he was using them to gain experience. The thought of this made the leader angrier. There was nothing he wanted more than to kill Ed."You killed three of the Tze sect's disciples. Do you think you are going to get out of here alive?" the leader asked. Ed did not want to talk. He wanted to fight. He picked up the halberd from the ground and threw it at the coming leader. With a wave of his hand, the leader blocked it."Just because you have killed a little does not mean you are invincible," he said throwing a punch that Ed received with his hand. Of course, he did not forget to coat his palm with his energy. The leader's fist met with an unmoveable pal

After leaving, Ed had found a place to sit and cultivate. He had found an uninhabited cave and sat down in lotus fashion. As far as he was concerned, he needed to find out better ways to fight. He was sure that the boy that had escaped would send back some elders of his sect or clan. These were people he could not fight at the moment. He needed more strength or techniques.He sat and took out the fruits from his bag. He wondered how he was supposed to absorb this. There were many ways to absorb energy from fruits such as his, but he wondered what the best way to get the maximum result was.He reached out at the Etheric energy with his own energy to see what would happen. Then, he felt a rush of Etheric energy fill him. He had split attention, allowing him to split contemplate. This helped him to be cultivating as he walked. If others cultivated every moment as he did, they would have levelled up faster than he. But his body was like a hollow space, sucking all the
Fighting His Way Out (1)
Oh, so that's what really happened. When he had seen her move, he thought it looked like the blink technique, but now discovered it was not. The blink technique is also a spatial technique. But this was an ability every soul-awakening master had. It was part of entering the soul awakening stage. The ability to move through space. Just like the soul realisation masters could fly when they reached that stage.This technique was even more attractive to him than blink. This was a technique for spatial masters. They went beyond travelling through space and getting to somewhere faster than a blink. The spatial cultivators were able to bend and stretch space. They had actual control over it so much that they could increase the distance of those pursuing them, making a 10-kilometre distance 1000 kilometres, keeping them running longer.Looking into the jade slip, he immersed himself in this technique. He was now very serious about becoming a spatial cultivator. With this,
Fighting His Way Out (2)
The elders and the large man had complicated looks on their faces. He intends to fight his way out of this? A spirit-picking baby was challenging them like this? If any of their enemies saw this, would they even have any face left? Ah Fude at first felt glee over Ed's situation and his impending doom, but looking at the situation, he felt a sense of deja-vu. A tiny speck of fear crept into his heart for a second. This surprised him. What was he afraid of? This boy would be killed by their clan head instantly. One of the elders moved immediately, not waiting for instructions and appeared before Ed in a second. He slapped towards Ed in one motion. This sent shock waves through the air, as a loud crack tore through one's ears. Ed was already prepared for his actions. He rotated the shifting space technique. His form warped and the elder's slap missed him. Ed was standing behind him just as the slap missed. He swung his wooden sword coated wi
We will Not Pursue This
The elder and Ah Fude paled. They did not understand what they had just seen. They looked at their clan head and the other elder unconscious under rocks. The elder could not feel the clan head's life qi, but he was sure that the other elder was still alive. This was a bad situation. How can they go back like this? Who would he say killed the clan head and wounded the second elder? Ed sighed. He was really bad at fighting. The prospect of a good fight always excited him, but it never happened. He understood what Tie Nse was talking about. These people were at spirit-merging and spirit-awareness, which is why he could fight them. In a true fight, he may kill his opponent, but he would lose. His energy which was a combination of all the energies was his greatest asset, but was it any good? He would just be good at killing. He had no idea how to really fight. He had to be in a life-and-death situation for his skills to develop. In the demon lands, he would have no energy. It will be a fi
