When the waves of silvery light completely faded, Juanyi’s originally elegant and divine figure had completely transformed. In front of Alex, she now appeared as a simply dressed female sword-bearer, with an ordinary face that would easily blend into any crowd without drawing a second glance.Even her energy fluctuations had been cleanly suppressed down to the elementary cultivation realm, making her look exactly like a wandering disciple out to gain experience.Alex nodded in satisfaction at his disciple's perfect transformation."Good. Let us depart before tomorrow arrives."Without wasting any time, Alex pulled his black hooded robe back over his head. The two moved silently, slipping out of the inn room through the window and leaping across the rooftops of Khong City without triggering even the slightest alarm from the city's defensive formations. Within a few breaths, they had bypassed the loosely guarded city gates, cutting through the dark night toward the vast expanse of fores

"But Father, maybe there I can find another treasure, born from the heavenly treasures... And maybe there are many treasures there that can help me break through my cultivation bottleneck! I only want to become stronger for the clan!" Lia tried to defend herself, her voice trembling as she held back tears and the pain in her chest. "Enough!" Adran snapped, fiercely brushing aside his silver-gray robe. "Your desire for strength has blinded your eyes to reality. Do you think with your current ability, which couldn't even defeat this young friend here, you could survive there? In the Demon Valley, cultivators of our level are mere ants waiting to be trampled!" Adran turned his back completely to Alex, temporarily ignoring the young man's status for the sake of disciplining his stubborn daughter. "I will never allow you to go, Lia. Let alone hiring a single mercenary, even if you brought the entire elite army of the Iron Wolf Clan, I would still forbid you! Starting today, you are gr

Lia, who moments ago stood with the arrogance of a great clan's genius, was now kneeling on the ground, clutching her tight chest while her War Goddess manifestation shattered into silver particles and vanished, swept away by the wind. Just as the deepest fear began to envelop Lia's soul, and the onlookers still trembled in their forced prostration, the sound of rhythmic clapping suddenly echoed from the crowd at the edge of the street. Prok... Prok... Prok... The sound of the clapping was not loud, yet strangely, it managed to pierce through the dominance of Alex's golden mental pressure, flowing into everyone's ears with incredible clarity. Along with it, the heavy pressure weighting down the streets of Khong City gradually thinned out, neutralized by a new aura that felt warm yet incredibly profound, like a vast, bottomless ocean. A middle-aged man stepped out from the shadows of the crowd of onlookers. He wore a luxurious silver-gray robe with a wolf's head embroidered in ste

To the surrounding cultivators, Lia's threat was an absolute death sentence. A physical attack might only damage the meridians, but an attack on the soul? That was a shortcut to madness or permanent death with no chance of reincarnation.However, behind that threat, Alex’s smile widened even further, turning into a cold sneer laden with mockery.‘A soul battle?’ Alex almost wanted to laugh out loud. If Lia had attacked his physical body using the spiritual energy of a third-star Initial God, Alex might have had to take it very seriously.But attacking the soul? Wasn't this far too easy for Alex? At present, his physical and energy foundations might still be in the process of recovery, but his Divine Soul power was almost fully restored! The soul of a True God, even if only a speck of it remained, was more than enough to suppress any entity below the Sky God realm.Lia, who had already lost her remaining patience, wasted no more time. She crossed two fingers in front of her chest, clos

At the same time, the wave of greed that had briefly enchanted the entire tavern abruptly receded, replaced by a thick cloud of doubt. The cultivators looked at each other, and one by one, they began to shake their heads while sighing heavily. Their ambition had crashed hard against a brutal reality."A Heavenly Treasure is indeed tempting, Lia. But who do you think we are?" the large man with the giant axe spoke up again, his tone filled with a bitter sense of resignation. "If the spatial ripples of the Demon Valley are weakening and this news leaks out, the mid-tier sects on the fringes of the Immortal World definitely won't just sit idly by. Not to mention those influential ancient clans! Once the monsters from those great factions intervene, scrap cultivators like us will only end up as cannon fodder or stepping stones for them!""True!" another cultivator in a local sect robe chimed in with a bleak expression. "To the great clans, our lives are worth no more than wild grass. Join

Syuut!Alex flicked the sleeve of his black robe, deactivating the white jade protective formation in his room with one smooth, refined motion.The luxurious room of the Calm Cloud Inn reverted to its original state as he stepped out, closed the door, and descended the stone stairs with a calm yet authoritative stride.The receptionist, who had previously been panicking while managing the mountain of energy stones in the lobby, immediately bowed deeply the moment he saw Alex pass by. All of his prior arrogance had completely evaporated, replaced by absolute, deathly terror."Young master..."However, Alex did not spare him even a single glance. His focus lay entirely outside this inn.Wuuuush...The warm afternoon air of Khong City welcomed Alex the moment his feet stepped onto the cobblestone streets. The bustling atmosphere of this transit city felt incredibly alive; the shouts of spiritual weapon merchants and the haggling over medicinal pills echoed everywhere.Yet, to obtain the
