80. The Peach Blossom Auction House
“Welcome, honored sirs!” A radiant hostess greeted Wu Tian and Lin Wei as they stepped into the grand Peach Blossom Auction House, its towering facade gleaming beneath the morning light of Shang Ying City. The building stood out among the opulent structures of the city’s heart, its architecture unlike any other—arched windows framed with carved peach blossoms, crimson banners fluttering in the breeze, and lanterns glowing faintly even in daylight. The air inside was perfumed with sandalwood and jasmine, mingling with the faint aroma of polished wood and incense. The marble floors reflected the soft golden light from chandeliers above, and the silence of the vast hall was broken only by the distant murmur of attendants preparing for the day’s events. “Is there anything I may assist you with, sirs?” the hostess asked again, her voice lilting with practiced charm. Lin Wei ignored her words, his eyes scanning the hall with a cool detachment. Wu Tian, meanwhile, wandered slowly, his
79. The City of Shang Ying
“Where are we now, Lin Wei?” Wu Tian asked, his voice carrying a note of wonder as he gazed at the sprawling horizon. “We stand within Shang Ying City, the grandest and most magnificent city in this Bodhisattva Nirvana,” Lin Wei replied, his tone calm yet filled with reverence. Wu Tian’s eyes widened, memories stirring. “Shang Ying City? Wu Xiang and I once planned to journey here, to search for his younger sister and uncle amidst its vast streets.” Lin Wei’s expression darkened, his gaze sweeping across the bustling avenues below. “Even in a city this immense, the Three Elements—servants of the Darkness Cultivator—could still track us down.” Wu Tian turned to him, his voice steady but tinged with unease. “What is your plan now, Lin Wei?” Lin Wei’s eyes softened, though his words carried weight. “I came only to observe the state of Lo Han village and to meet the Lo Han warriors, intending to deliver the scripture to them. Yet I believe you need it more, Wu Tian. Soon, I must
78. The Awakening of Wu Tian
“So many dark cultivators are prowling through this Bodhisattva Nirvana!” Wu Tian exclaimed, his voice echoing against the stone walls. Lin Wei’s eyes narrowed, his tone heavy with concern. “I wonder the same, brother Tian… it feels as though this darkness clings to you, shadowing your every step. I cannot fathom why.” Wu Tian’s gaze hardened, his fists tightening as if to crush the shadows themselves. “The Three Elements will surely return, bringing reinforcements greater than before. These Darkness Cultivators will never release me from their pursuit. And worse—Wu Xiang has already fallen into the abyss of dark cultivation, becoming a demon.” The air trembled with Lin Wei’s sigh. “The demon Wu Xiang has grown formidable. You cannot match him now, Wu Tian. It would be wiser to avoid him, lest the tragedy of before repeats itself.” Wu Tian’s voice was low but resolute, like steel tempered in fire. “I cannot flee forever from Wu Xiang, brother Wei. I must stop him before he sin
78. Assault of the Three Elements
“Do you mean to tell me you have no names, only titles bound to your elements?” Wu Tian’s voice rang out, sharp yet curious, cutting through the tense air. The warrior of fire hesitated mid-strike, his blazing fist hovering in the dim glow. The cavern trembled with heat radiating from his body, the scent of scorched stone mingling with the acrid tang of smoke. Shadows danced wildly across the walls, flickering like restless spirits. His eyes narrowed, suspicion flickering in their depths. “Why ask now, immortal?” Fire Element demanded, his tone edged with irritation. Wu Tian’s gaze was steady, his voice calm but probing. “I am simply curious. Did you not have names before you became bound to these elements?” The crimson warrior straightened, his flames dimming slightly as he spoke. “I am Ang Hue. The one of ice is Lam Sheng, and the one of thunder is Hui Lei. We are not nameless, immortal.” His words carried pride, though beneath them lingered a faint bitterness, as if their i
77. Three Elements
“We will discuss this later! I sense someone approaching us, Wu Tian!” Lin Wei’s voice cut through the silence, sharp and urgent. Wu Tian straightened, his pulse quickening. The dim cavern around them seemed to tighten, shadows pressing closer as the flickering torchlight trembled against the stone walls. The air smelled faintly of damp earth and smoke, carrying a chill that seeped into his bones. “Friend or foe, Brother Wei?” he asked, his tone wary. “Most likely an enemy. No one should know of this hiding place,” Lin Wei replied, his eyes narrowing as he listened to the faint echoes of footsteps beyond the cavern mouth. Wu Tian’s breath caught. “Could it be the Demon Cultivator’s men?” Lin Wei shook his head slowly, his expression grave. “No. I feel this presence is not of the Demon Cultivator or his followers. It is from the Darkness Cultivator.” Wu Tian’s heart thudded heavily, the sound of his pulse loud in his ears. “The Darkness Cultivator? Since when has this shadowe
76. DEMON CULTIVATOR
The divine guardian who had come to Wu Tian’s aid tended to him with unwavering patience until his body was restored. What had once seemed beyond salvation was now whole again, his strength not only recovered but infused with a surge of qi far greater than before. Wu Tian’s voice trembled with curiosity as he asked, “Do you know the origin of the Demon Cultivator, Master?” The warrior beside him, calm yet solemn, replied, “Much like you, who unwittingly gave birth to the Darkness Cultivator because of the torment and humiliation you endured from your own parents, Wu Xiang too created the Demon Cultivator without realizing it.” The guardian’s tone carried the weight of explanation, his words echoing in the dim chamber where flickering lanterns cast long shadows across the stone walls. The air smelled faintly of burning oil, mingling with the earthy dampness of the ground. Outside, the wind howled against the wooden shutters, as though nature itself listened to their conversation.
