136. War Begins: Aji vs. Denta
"So... is such a horrific scenario truly possible?" Commander Yarko and Master Gonan sat inside the central command tent, listening intently as Barsha, Aji, and Grandmaster Jinho presented their findings. Commander Yarko sought to verify the troubling conclusion Jinho had reached.If the analysis held true—that cultivators across all continents had been intentionally lured into the Tulisma Forest under the guise of the Moon Flower—they were nothing more than helpless prey assembled to feed Lord Demon Shura through the Blood Supreme artifact."Master Jinho's deduction is entirely logical," Aji added, offering his perspective to reinforce the elder's words. "During our initial scouting sweeps, our teams discovered dozens of fallen disciples from various academies. The lingering aura saturating their corpses was abnormally dense with dark magic."Commander Yarko and Master Gonan traded somber glances. They held immense respect for Aji's judgment; Yarko had witnessed firsthand the astonis
135. Behind the Secret of the Moon Flower
Veiling his presence with stealth magic, Aji observed a sizable camp set up by a gathering of martial artists. The emblem embroidered across their robes identified them as members of the Gale Force Academy—the largest and most prestigious school on the Frost Line continent. Aji recalled their reputation; they, too, had mobilized to claim the Moon Flower.This will become an endless war inside the Tulisma Forest, Aji thought. Word of the celestial artifact's arrival had spread at an alarming speed. He could only hope that when these orthodox sects crossed paths, they would choose cooperation over bloodshed.Their true enemy was the dark army—a fact every cultivator needed to recognize. If they remained blinded by greed, driven to hoard the Moon Flower's divine power for themselves, their ranks would fracture. The threat of Lord Demon Shura was real, yet the greed of human hearts posed an equally dangerous hurdle.Internal division and blind ambition would inevitably lead to their self-
134. The Clash for the Artifact Begins
"There is no need!" Grandmaster Jinho replied, waving a hand to dismiss Aji's offer. He felt no urge to test the youth's capabilities. What purpose would a test serve anyway? After all, Jinho had refused to take the field when Saint Yonan sought his aid twenty years ago.According to Gayatri, Aji commanded a mysterious form of internal energy whose exact parameters and spectral traits evaded conventional measurement. Gayatri's sensory abilities had been unable to gauge his aura—proof enough that Aji's cultivation ran extraordinarily deep, a fact Jinho recognized instantly. As for whether Aji was truly the direct disciple of the Three Legends, Jinho chose to let the matter rest."Very well, I will not press the issue further," Jinho offered as a parting word. "However, remain on your guard! You must coordinate seamlessly with your comrades.""Naturally, Master Jinho," Aji replied with a respectful nod.As late afternoon approached, the Sky Squad members donned unassuming traveling clot
133. Final Memories of Yonan
Gayatri and Lao were thrilled by Grandmaster Jinho's presence at the assembly. Before entering the hall, Jinho had offered a formal greeting to Advisor Silvi—an old friend from his past. Jinho claimed he had stopped by simply upon hearing that his two beloved pupils had returned to the Frost Line continent.In truth, his appearance was entirely due to the quiet persuasion of a youth named Aji, who had convinced the veteran master to step out of hiding and join the Sky Squad's cause."Do you still brew warm tea every morning, Master?" Gayatri asked, offering a warm smile of concern. Whenever they lived together, Gayatri had made it a point to brew fresh tea for Jinho every morning. Having raised Lao and Gayatri since they were ten years old, Jinho was the only father figure they had ever known."Even with you and your brother away, I take good care of myself, Gayatri," Jinho replied with a gentle smile, putting Lao and Gayatri's minds at ease.Following the formal banquet, the Sky Squa
132. Persuading Jinho
Serpentine dragons and giant predatory birds formed of dense, luminous aura materialized above Advisor Silvi. These energy beasts hovered in mid-air, bristling with power as they awaited their master's command.Gayatri readied herself, channeling internal energy into both hands. Seeing her posture, Silvi noticed that Gayatri was not attempting to forge energy weapons to counter the constructs, as she had in their previous duel.These constructs functioned like living entities, capable of seeking out and striking down a target under the caster's guidance. Formed entirely of compressed mana, they could disintegrate if the caster lost concentration, operating similarly to a necromancer's summons or elemental thralls."Attack!"With a sharp command from Advisor Silvi, six massive energy beasts—including dragons, birds, and bears—launched themselves across the courtyard, closing in on Gayatri simultaneously.Silvi felt a sudden pang of concern. Gayatri had not drawn a defensive blade; inst
131. Advisor Silvi's Second Challenge
"You assimilated the celestial essence yourself—you must have realized it by now, haven't you?" Aji asked, looking over at Gayatri. This time, he offered her a warm, genuine smile.A sudden blush crept up Gayatri's cheeks. "You're changing the subject, Aji," she murmured, well aware that his smile was merely a clever distraction to prevent her from probing any further.Aji chuckled softly. "There really is no fooling you, Gayatri. Fine! I neutralized the volatile attributes of the artifact."Saying this with a relaxed demeanor, Aji casually raised both arms behind his head, stretching out his shoulders."How on earth did you accomplish such a feat?" Gayatri pressed, her sharp eyes searching his face."Why ask what you already know?" Aji countered smoothly. "I spent over a month isolated inside Dompai specifically to purge the Heart Dragon. Day by day, bit by bit, I cleansed its core.""But Aji...""Leave it be, Gayatri," Aji cut in gently, his gaze turning distant. "Our clash against
