Tirta sat cross-legged in the middle of the small room inside his hut. The air around him felt heavy, as if the entire world were holding its breath. The rain had stopped, leaving behind the smell of wet earth that filled the night air.Inside his body, Spiritual Energy flowed rapidly, restoring the parts of his body that had been crippled all this time. The sensation was incredibly comfortable, reminding him of the days of his former glory.Suddenly, the Spiritual Energy surrounding Tirta condensed, forming a small vortex that attracted the attention of even the people outside his hut. Tirta felt Spiritual Energy surging into his body, breaking through the barriers that had blocked him for so long.The first explosion!His once-destroyed dantian began to shine again, as if it had been reborn. Pure Spiritual Energy surged through him, awakening the energy pathways that had been dormant for so long.Tirta opened his eyes for a moment. "Is this... the strength I lost so long ago?"Howev

Swoosh!Tirta stepped confidently toward the depths of the Black Mist Forest. After activating the Shadow Step ability, he felt ready to face any threat that lay ahead. The incredible speed he possessed gave him even greater confidence. However, he knew that within this forest, the greatest danger did not only come from wild creatures, but also from the forces hidden within the darkness of the mist.As soon as he entered the forest, thick mist began to cover the path, limiting his vision. The rustling of leaves and the movements of wild creatures lurking among the trees echoed in his ears. Tirta remained calm, his eyes focused on every movement that could become a major threat.Not long after, a terrifying, hoarse sound came from behind the mist. A Mist Beast, a massive creature with skin as hard as stone and a body covered in spikes, emerged from the darkness. Its eyes glowed red like fire, indicating that it was stalking its prey with intense hatred.Roar!With astonishing speed, th

Tirta stood in the middle of the forest with steady breathing, his body radiating the powerful aura characteristic of a cultivator in the Earth Realm, Four Stars. The Black Mist Forest, which had previously felt terrifying, now seemed like nothing more than his training ground. With five Level 3 Beast Crystals and one Level 4 Beast Crystal in his possession, he felt that his achievements so far were quite satisfying."It's time for me to leave this forest and sell these Beast Crystals," Tirta muttered as he stored all his spoils inside his storage ring.The thick mist covering the forest began to fade as Tirta moved toward the edge of the forest. Along the way, he remained vigilant, his sharp eyes monitoring his surroundings. Although he had eliminated most of the wild beasts, he knew that the Black Mist Forest was always full of dangerous surprises.As he walked farther, a faint path began to appear between the trees. The path seemed to lead toward a small settlement outside the fore

Tirta stood in the middle of the forest, with the lifeless body of the Silver Star Tiger beneath his feet. The smell of blood had begun attracting the attention of other creatures nearby. However, Tirta showed no fear whatsoever.Ding...[System: The Host has obtained a Level 4 Beast Crystal.

Tirta walked away from the forest, heading toward a small road that led to the nearest city. There, he planned to sell some unnecessary items, gather information, and prepare for his next journey.Ding...[System: New objective available. Travel to Heavenly Flame Valley to upgrade your weapon. Reward: Eternal Flame Technique.]Tirta smiled faintly. “Heavenly Flame Valley, huh? It seems there will be even more challenges waiting for me there.”Tirta stepped out of the forest and followed the path leading toward the nearest city. The morning sunlight shining on his face gave him renewed energy after the exhausting battle. Several wounds on his body had begun to heal thanks to the recovery potions, although fatigue still weighed heavily on him.The city was called Lenovo, a small city located on the border of the Ninth Star Forest. Although small, it was bustling with adventurers and cultivators who came to hunt, trade, or gather information. Tirta hoped to find some time to rest and pla
