A lone figure floated silently within the vast expanse of darkness.There wasn't a single shred of light, nor the slightest trace of substance. It was as though everything had ceased to exist, leaving behind only an endless void.That figure was none other than Ji Xuanyuan.Just then, the sound of pages flipping echoed through the darkness.Flip... Flip... Flip...Ji Xuanyuan turned toward the source of the sound.Not far away, an ancient black book floated quietly in the void. Its cover seemed even darker than the surrounding darkness, as though it swallowed everything around it.Its pristine white pages flipped frantically on their own, surging forward before suddenly reversing, only to flip forward once more. The pages continued their erratic dance for several breaths before gradually slowing...Until they finally came to a halt.Ji Xuanyuan stepped through the silent void until he stood before the book.The page before him was completely blank.Then, as though an invisible brush h

After allowing his mental energy to recover somewhat, Lin Wuchen began the process of Returning to Nothingness.Following the method recorded within the first volume of the Nihility Dao Scripture, the spiritual qi coursing through his meridians gradually changed direction, flowing back toward his dantian.The instant the last strand entered it, everything fell deathly silent. The spiritual qi that had once churned endlessly within his dantian came to a complete standstill, as though time itself had frozen.Then… without the slightest sound, the spiritual qi slowly unraveled, dissolving like morning mist beneath the rising sun.One strand after another lost its form before quietly fading into nothingness. There was no violent explosion, no terrifying backlash. Only an eerie, absolute silence.As the spiritual qi continued to disperse, Lin Wuchen could clearly feel his cultivation base steadily regressing.An hour later, not a single strand of spiritual qi remained within his body. His

Meanwhile, within the Lin Clan's cultivation grounds, Lin Wuchen sat cross-legged inside a cultivation cave.The Spiritual Qi within the cave was several times denser than that of the outside world.The cultivation grounds had been constructed directly above a Spirit Ore Vein, causing the surrounding Spiritual Qi to be exceptionally abundant and pure. Furthermore, each cultivation cave was engraved with Spirit Gathering Arrays that continuously drew in Spiritual Qi from the surroundings, creating an ideal environment for cultivation.Lin Wuchen slowly circulated the Nihility Dao Scripture.Almost immediately, wisps of Spiritual Qi began converging toward him from all directions.They flowed into his body through his pores and meridians before rushing toward his dantian. However, unlike ordinary cultivators whose dantians stored and refined Spiritual Qi, Lin Wuchen's dantian had become a silent black void.The moment the Spiritual Qi entered it, it vanished without a sound. It was as

One Month Later…"Don't worry," a gentle voice said reassuringly. "I'm sure you'll get in."Lin Wuchen smiled confidently. "Of course I will.""But are you certain you want to join the Ten Thousand Sword Sect?" Mu Yurou asked with a hint of concern. "Although your unique physique has awakened, greatly improving your innate cultivation talent, you'll still need an exceptional affinity for the Sword Dao to be accepted.""Mom..." Lin Wuchen said with a reassuring smile. "Don't worry. I'll definitely be accepted."Mu Yurou smiled warmly. "Alright. I believe in you."She then gently straightened his robe before adding,"You should get going. You don't want to be late. Your father is already waiting for you."Lin Wuchen nodded before turning and leaving the room.Over the past month, he hadn't slacked off in either his cultivation or training for even a single day, leaving the entire Lin Clan astonished.Those who had initially believed he was merely pretending to have lost his memories wer

"While the first trial tested your willpower and perseverance, this trial will test your natural affinity for the Sword Dao. It shall determine whether you possess the qualifications to become an Inner Disciple or remain an Outer Disciple."The voice paused briefly before continuing."Before you lies the Sword Graveyard. Within it rest thousands of swords once wielded by ancient experts from different eras. After their masters fell, these swords were returned to this place, where they have remained ever since, mourning their former masters while awaiting one worthy of inheriting their legacy.""You may each attempt to communicate with the swords. If fortune favors you, you may earn the acknowledgment of one and become its new master. Others may gain enlightenment in the Sword Dao or even inherit a sword technique.""But remember… only those deemed worthy by the swords shall receive anything.""This is the only opportunity you will have to enter the Sword Graveyard as a disciple of the
