2025-06-16 20:30:02Two figures descended from the dark sky and shattered the entrance seal of the Ninth—fortress sect. In this sect, the cultivators are advised to cultivate their will as a priority and then any other power as extra. However at this moment, the sect master is on an important task and might likely be dead.
The man who had forced himself into the empire stood before countless devoted cultivators who stood their ground. No one would allow an enemy to enter the sect, especially when the sect master is doing something very important and doesn't want to be disturbed. "Where is Zishan Sheng?" The atmosphere suddenly chilled at the sound of his voice, causing countless cultivators to cower in fear. For a moment, no one answered his question, dwelling on their fears, wondering whether the sect master succeeded or not. Sometimes, the sealing formation can fail and the wielder would still lose their life in the end— That would definitely put the six universes in a precarious situation… a fragile balance, meaning that after all the struggle, one side would have to succumb. But then. "I won't ask the question again. Where is Zishan Sheng?" Suddenly, a blinding light flashed causing the entire sect to tremble. The man looked up, his black eyes flashing with a cold, murderous intent. He moved, his entire body embodied in a chilling aura that shook the sky. The senior disciples of Ninth-fortress immediately took action, their will powering up in order to resist the insane pressure. "Light." "Darkness." "Shadows." "Flames." Inscriptions quickly simmered in the air. 光明.黑暗.陰影.火焰 The top senior, Chenyi Lu moved forward, muttering out the four effigies that have been inscribed, giving them vitality. "Guāngmíng. Hēi'àn. Yīnyǐng. Huǒyàn." He moved his hands in a strange angle, his two fingers striking northwest. Then, a terrifying barrier formed, halting the advancement of the invading man. The barrier actually stopped him which is a big surprise. "Are you all willing to exhaust your spirit essence and still end up dead or just let me in and I spare your life?" The disciples of the Ninth-fortress sect did not budge and he chuckled. "Fine, suit yourself!" He waved his hands, his pressure descending like a deadly hurricane and the terrifying power sent everyone flying, the barrier itself cracking. They spat blood, however none of them could do anything since the man had already crossed the boundary line. "Senior Chenyi, what do we do?" The young man's face was pale. Hai qiqi, Tai chi and Mu Shen… the junior disciples just stared at him, weak, almost drained of spiritual energy. They did not have a way to trap a powerhouse. Plus they did not know if he had achieved Immortality or not— if he had, then it would be a losing battle because the gap between them would be like that of heaven and earth and if he he hadn't achieved Immortality, it would still be fighting a losing battle because, the man must have been cultivating for a thousand years, who knows. It didn't take long and the man stepped out of the hidden enclave, his eyes burning with a fiery light. "Where is Zishan Yao?" Every cultivator instantly paled. This must mean that sect master Zishan had completed the sealing formation and most likely died in the process. "Yao is three years old and cannot leave the universe. He isn't a cultivator. The Zishan clan had done something to hide him and only this sect would know." And indeed, they knew except— the seal cannot be broken unless it reaches the duration of expiry. And of course, only Old master Sheng knows where he had hidden the seal so it would be impossible to tell that he had hidden Yao under the star. The man was suddenly infuriated and he shouted. "Are you trying to hide the entire Zishan clan's mistake? Do you want to suffer from a mistake that you all did not commit?" He suddenly chuckled. "The only mistake I can see now is— hiding the secret." There were different cultivators on the Ninth-fortress sect, all from various clans. And with the situation at this moment, the Zishan clan is looking to be under a feud with every clan the very moment these young cultivators are killed. Things weren't looking bleak at the moment. The man suddenly laughed like a maniac and whispered. "Fine! I'll make you all talk." He scribbled something on the void and the next minute, gasps tore through the crowd of student disciples. Who wouldn't recognize that legendary but dangerous technique. 靈魂湮滅 "That's soul annihilation!" More gasp tore out of their lips, a look of terror and horror appearing on every face. They watched the inscription spun on air, enchanted by powerful vitality. "Legend has it that anyone struck by the soul annihilation technique would die instantly unless they possess a very sturdy inner world." The man laughed. "How many of you possess that kind of inner world? No one!" He immediately chanted. "Lìnghún yānmiè. Lines from the end, lines from the brink, connect to create a whip!" The inscription suddenly transformed, becoming a terrifying whip, crackling with the power of lightning. "Now, do I have to set an example before you all start talking?" No one wanted to have their souls annihilated so Zhi Yi, one of the junior disciples spoke immediately. "They sealed the boy! However we do not know where they've hidden him."

0014 Massive Transformation
Yào's apartment was tasteful— suiting the young man much to his satisfaction. After the ordeal with Mo Shen, Yao had decided to see what to do that would make him improve. Clearing the fourth acupoint is supposed to take a year or more but at least, he needed to attempt that too. And most importantly, comprehend techniques. So far, he had comprehended a sword technique. Soul of Swords, the one that Ancestor Shang had drooled over. But the soul of swords isn't the main thing, which is why he did not make use of it. Even the Ninefold concealment technique wasn't complete which makes it almost impossible to use. His only true technique is the Spirit swords that he had comprehended at the pavilion. But he wanted more… Maybe the other two could stand by as extra, but if anything— he wanted to learn more techniques. He plucked down on his bed with Shang Fa beside him. And the older man smiled. “So where do we start from?” Yao closed his eyes, completely ignoring him. And of course
0013 Challenging Yao
"That's the Spirit sword technique. How did he comprehend the art?" "I heard that the people occupying the three stone platform are supposed to come out in the next one month but he had barely stepped in for over an hour." They gawked at Yao as those white golden circles stuck behind him with countless sword intents, suspended in midair, waiting for his command to launch away."Isn't it impossible to comprehend the technique? Why does it seem so easy now.""Maybe Ancestor Shang had given him a private tutor before bringing him in.""Someone who had already comprehended the spirit sword technique will not return to the pavilion. Besides, elder Shang Fa would not bring him to this place knowing that he's already comprehended it."Different people cooked up stories, some formulated theories—even coming to conclusions, however those that wanted to find out summoned courage. They immediately approached Yao and Elder Shang Fa. The celestial sword sect is home to different cultivators so
0012 Spirit Sword Technique
The sword pavilion was bustling with activities. Cultivators under the Celestial sword sect were there with the aim of comprehending the spirit sword technique. Shang Fa and Yao walked across the corridor while observing the potential cultivators. "A thousand cultivators from the celestial sword sect and beyond come into the sword pavilion and yet, only a few are able to comprehend the technique." Yao's expression remained unreadable but he keenly stared at the slightly suspended sword phantoms. These swords were like stars that illuminated the starry sky. Yao said softly. "Let's go in." They both entered the pavement, completely distancing themselves away from the boundary. Then finally— the reaction that Yao expected. All gazes snapped towards him.He immediately became the hot topic."He's the new guy.""Have you heard that he was picked from the sky?" "Yes, sect master brought him in. Now, he parades like the Ancestor Shang's grandson.""Can he not be so shameless?" "I thi
0011 Ninefold Concealment
For the first time, Yao was seeing the Celestial sword sect very clearly. When he had been atop Zicuen mountain right after fussing the orb into his mind's eye, it was as if he could see everything. His vision had grown sharper, in contrast to his previous one.At that moment, he had seen three men, very far from the mountain. They stood upon a groove, staring at him with strange eyes.This so-called groove is the place which housed the entire celestial sword sect. Yào carefully observed the place, only to notice that this groove was slanted slightly to one side and a giant sword sticking somewhere at the center.Ancestor Shang had disappeared into the void while Shang Yi and Shang Fa stuck around Yao just to make sure he was comfortable. This is because they were the only ones he recognized. The moment Yao entered this strange space, he realized instantly that he had gathered a lot of attention. Yao hadn't been all that good-looking when he was a child, the only thing that made him
0010 Heavenly Spirit Tribulation
Yao could not undergo a Heavenly Spirit Tribulation within his mind's eye or inner world, so he had to escape from it. His eyes snapped open only to realize that he was not drifting across the sky, instead he had been sitting somewhere atop a strange mountain with a protective barrier that surrounded him at all sides. His pretty face squeezed into a frown and his brows furrowed. He is about attempting a breakthrough but if the barrier remains here, there could be restrictions. He stood up from the stone platform, quietly suppressing his breakthrough and he walked towards the edge of the barrier, placing his hands on it. The barrier warped but did not budge. Yao wondered if maybe it is possible to use spiritual energy to weaken it, but he refrained from doing so. He did not want to waste his energy for a barrier when he still had like nine more acupoints to clear. He did not know how much spirit energy it would consume. Before Yao would make any move, a strange man appeared atop
0009 Cultivation Stages, Realms and Meridians
Finally, after five years, the orb was instantly drained of all spirit energy. By now, Yao's inner world currently looked like six complicated universes put together into an intermittent weave and held together by a single formation. The spiritual energy that the spirit depletion spell had absorbed had been, if not exorbitant. So in a way, his combat power had improved methodically, however Yao has yet to enter the very first cultivation realm. With this vast amount of spirit energy, he would be able to break through.To initiate the breakthrough, Yao had to open the first three meridians in his body and he needed an abundant amount of spiritual energy to do that, so opening his meridians wouldn't waste too much time. Naturally, the process was tasking and strenuous. It demanded you to absorb spirit energy, and use that same energy to open his meridians. In the cultivation world, everyone improves by the knowledge of the world— however, the first step for cultivation is naturally
