"Hah... Hah... Hah..."The sound of rushing and heavy breath broke the silence of the Black Mist Forest. On top of a large boulder facing directly toward a bottomless ravine, a youth knelt with both hands gripping the ground. Sweat mixed with blood dripped from his forehead, wetting his hemp cloth clothes which were already torn.He was Qing Zilong, the young master of the Qing Clan."Why... WHY?!" roared Zilong in frustration, his voice hoarse withholding an extraordinarily intense pain. He hit his fist onto the boulder surface until bleeding.Three years. Three full years of suffering he had passed through since that cursed night. As the former number one genius in the Qing clan, Zilong never surrendered. Every day, every night, he forced himself to train in the midst of this remote forest, trying to flow Qi to re-unite his ruined meridian paths. However, the result was always the exact same. Every time spiritual energy entered, a painful sensation in the manner of being sliced by a

Zilong directly rose to stand. His body which earlier was crushed now felt as light as cotton, yet as dense as steel. While clenching his hand, he felt the flow of the ancient purple Qi surging violently inside his new meridian paths which were far sturdier. Without wasting time, he took steps leaving the ancient altar."Now... I only need to search for a way out..."One hour later...In only a short time, Zilong succeeded in finding an ancient gap sloping up to the surface, cutting the forest route and directly pointing toward the outer border of the Qing clan territory.His hemp cloth clothes were still tattered and stained with dry blood, yet his line of sight, sharp as a sword tip, was capable of hiding his physical condition.He walked sturdily toward the residence center. However, his step slowed down when drawing close to the clan's Main Hall.'Something is not right...' Zilong's inner mind thought, his eyebrows interlocking.Usually, at an hour like this, the Main Hall was onl

"Hahaha! Good... Very good!"Shi Nian laughed hysterically, a forced laugh to cover the sense of shock as well as the fury burning her chest. Her beautiful face now appeared somewhat distorted by anger. She stared at Zilong as if the youth in front of her were the most delusional creature in the entire continent."Qing Zilong, you have truly gone mad! Losing your cultivation and becoming disabled apparently did not only ruin your meridians, but has also damaged your brain!" shouted Shi Nian fiercely, taking steps forward until the distance between them was only separated by a few inches."I do not care who ripped that trash paper! Whether I am the one canceling it or you are the one pretending to dump me, the result is the exact same... We are finished. I am not at all willing to possess any bond with trash like you!"Shi Nian paused her sentence, her breath rushing, then her eyes narrowed sharply full of a killing flash."But how dare you insult the Sky Sword Sect?! You call that hol

Zilong's voice flowed casually, yet every word that came out from his mouth was in the manner of lightning striking on a clear afternoon. Absolute arrogance, which did not even look at the existence of the grandest sect in that eastern region, made the entire crowd inside the hall astounded in disbelief."You!" Shi Nian was newly about to abuse, considering Zilong's utterance as the delusion of an acute-level madman.However, before the words of abuse chanced to escape from her lips, the atmosphere inside the Qing Clan Main Hall suddenly changed in a drastic manner. The air pressure dropped drastically, causing an extraordinarily intense heavy sensation until making the Qing Clan elders at low cultivation tiers directly cough withholding their suffocated chests.Whuuuuzzzz!A strong wind spun in the middle of the hall, blowing dust and shards of the agreement paper scattered around. From inside the vortex of that dense spiritual wind, a shadow slowly condensed.A figure of a middle-ag

The hall was once again filled with low murmurs. The elders’ faces looked grim. They understood that Qing Tian’s words were not an overstatement. For hundreds of years, the Qing Clan had stood firm because of its strong ties with the Shi Clan. Now, that bond had shattered in just a single day.Worse yet, the name of the Heaven Sword Sect had been dragged into this. The sect that ruled the eastern region was not a force a small clan like theirs could ever hope to defy.Qing Tian let out a long sigh. He looked at his son with a gaze filled with concern. "Zilong," his voice was hoarse, "Father does not regret your courage in protecting the clan's dignity. But these consequences are too heavy. We have lost an ally, and the Shi Clan is now officially an enemy that will stop at nothing. And the Heaven Sword Sect... they will not let this humiliation slide."The atmosphere in the hall grew heated again. The elders began to bicker; some blamed Zilong’s recklessness for pushing the clan to the

Qing Zilong darted through the Black Mist Forest. Throughout the journey, he did not slow down even for a moment. He was no longer just running; he was moving in perfect harmony with the rhythm of the forest. When a low-level beast lurked behind the bushes, he did not even need to turn his head. Zilong merely tilted his body slightly, letting the sharp claws pass inches from his skin, and continued forward without looking back.He could sense the location of every creature around him solely through the fluctuations of Qi in the air. He knew exactly when to leap to avoid stepping on tree roots that harbored poisonous energy, and he knew which way the wind was blowing to mask his tracks. The experience Su Qian had gained from thousands of battles in the past was still perfectly etched into his soul, even though the body he currently possessed was still severely limited.Upon reaching the foot of the mountain range, Zilong stopped directly in front of a silent cliff face. There were no s

The pain was far beyond anything Qing Zilong had ever endured. The moment his entire body submerged into the purple pool, it felt as if millions of invisible needles were piercing every inch of his skin simultaneously."UAAARGHHH!"A roar of agony echoed throughout the hall. The once-still pool water suddenly surged violently. Waves of spiritual energy exploded from the bottom, transforming into a vortex that mercilessly swirled around Zilong’s body.BZZZZTTT!The energy was not merely being absorbed; it was forcing its way in. The dense purple Qi hammered against his Dantian repeatedly like a giant hammer forging metal. Every impact made Zilong’s body shudder violently. It felt as though thousands of sword blades were slicing through his insides, while a fire incinerated his internal organs."Damn it..." Zilong hissed, gritting his teeth.Before he could even catch his breath, the next burst of energy slammed into him.BOOOM!"Ughh!"A mouthful of blood sprayed from his lips. His bod

Qing Zilong slowly withdrew his spiritual consciousness from the storage ring. He stood still for a moment, letting his breath steady before he began to examine the inheritance he had left for himself millions of years ago.The corners of his lips lifted slightly. "I hope time has not claimed everything."His spiritual consciousness swept through the storage space. The stone shelves remained neatly arranged. Some jade boxes were still tightly sealed, while others were covered in a thin layer of dust due to the immense passage of time.Zilong stepped closer. His hand reached for a white jade bottle.Click.The lid popped open, and a dense medicinal aroma immediately filled the room."Hmm, Meridian Recovery Pill," he muttered. He poured one pill into his palm. Its surface was still polished, and the medicinal energy within remained stable. "Still usable."Zilong placed the pill back into the bottle and moved on to the next one. But when he opened the lid—Puff...Gray ash flew out. Ther

Qing Zilong stepped away from the mountains with calm strides. The night sky remained cloaked in darkness, yet it did not hinder his vision in the slightest. Every rustle of the wind, the scent of the trees, and even the pulse of Qi flowing within the forest could be felt clearly.A moment later, he halted. He closed his eyes, allowing his spiritual consciousness to sink deep into his own body."The Dantian is perfected. The meridians are also far stronger."He clenched his fist. The Primal Purple Qi flowed smoothly along his meridian pathways without obstruction. However, the faint smile soon vanished."But my cultivation is still too low."The issue was no longer the quality of his body. Qing Zilong’s physique now far surpassed that of an ordinary cultivator, yet that solid foundation remained an empty shell without sufficient energy. Zilong took a Spirit Stone from his ring, gripped it tightly, and absorbed the energy within.Crack.The Spirit Stone turned dull before finally crumb

Qing Zilong landed lightly on a high tree branch, his gaze sweeping over the arena below with calm detachment. The battlefield had been transformed into a scene of devastation; massive trees lay toppled, and the ground was scarred with cracks from the collision of wild Qi.Two men in armor lay lifeless, bearing gruesome lacerations. Not far from them, an elderly guard leaned weakly against a tree trunk. His breathing was heavy, and blood continued to seep from a torn shoulder. In front of the guard, a girl in a white silk dress stood firm. Though the sword in her hand trembled violently, her gaze remained as sharp as a razor.Before them, a giant beast resembling a bear, its skin covered in steel-like scales, roared until the forest foliage shook.ROAAARRR!!Zilong observed for a moment. Decent talent, but her combat experience is still too shallow, he thought coldly. If the battle continued, the girl wouldn’t be able to hold out for more than a few heartbeats."Fall back," Zilong sai
