In a place so well hidden, surrounded by towering mountains, lay a region spanning a hundred square kilometers. Thick forests blanketed the land.

A lone figure stood atop a tall tower — a watchtower, to be precise. His eyes caught sight of fireworks lighting up in a distant city. That city was known as the Sacred Stone City, where Young Master Feng was currently visiting to seek support.

“This is bad… it seems Young Master Feng Hao is in danger!”

The man on the tower immediately took flight, using his speed to maneuver sharply and descend perfectly.

“Report to Patriarch Feng Dalo that Young Master Feng Hao is calling for aid!”

The guard rushed into the residence of the Patriarch, who was at that moment in the middle of a discussion with several elders of the Feng Clan. They were making plans to seize what remained of the imperial palace and establish a new empire under their rule.

Suddenly, a knock interrupted their meeting. Feng Dalo signaled for one of his men to open the door.

    None of the residents of Sacred Stone City who had previously left truly returned home when they saw a large group approaching Chu Long’s residence. One by one, they returned, gathering in small groups on a hill slightly further from the residence. From there, they could still observe the battle taking place between the young patriarch of the Ming Clan and the patriarch of the Feng Clan. Two men of different generations, experience, and cultivation levels were clashing in a fierce aerial duel.Flashes of energy darted in every direction, causing violent tremors. The earth shook, trees collapsed, and the air exploded with pressure waves. All of it was the result of stray attacks and the violent collision of powerful energies.Before the battle began, Wu Xiaoshi had already sealed Feng Hao into the ground. No one could break the seal, even when working together. Each time they struck it, a surge of lightning energy would lash out, numbing their hands despite the small scale.Wu Xiaoshi

    When everyone heard that statement, a commotion stirred in their hearts. Clearly, those on the hill were greatly shocked. When the young man spoke loudly—With such an identity, he could already be considered the ruler of the three empires. With that kind of power, who would dare to offend the Young Patriarch of the Ming Clan? Only a fool like Feng Hao would dare do such a thing, thought the people on the hill.The six people lowered their heads and felt utterly foolish."Forgive us, Emperor! I, on behalf of the entire Hidden Feng Clan, offer our apologies.""I don’t think an apology is enough. I want you to swear an oath to me that you will serve as guardians of the Ming Clan and the Ming Empire that I will soon take over. I intend to unite the three empires and become the young emperor who rules them all.""I am willing to swear the oath," one of them responded, followed by the other five."Very well then. I will go with you to the Feng Clan to ensure that everyone submits to my rul

    After spending three days and three nights in the room with his wife Song Hye without stepping out even once, the young man was finally seen by the guards that night.Wu Xiaoshi approached one of the guards and inquired about Uncle Jing’s condition.“The family steward is currently in his room. If the Patriarch wishes to see him, I can call him for you!”“I’ll go myself. Stay here and keep a good watch.” Wu Xiaoshi handed the guard a few gold coins and walked away.“Thank you, young Patriarch. May fortune always favor you!” said the guard.When he reached Uncle Jing’s room, Wu Xiaoshi called out. Even though he owned the entire residence, he still upheld manners and respected others’ privacy.“Uncle Jing, I’m here to visit!” he announced at the door.Not long after, the door opened, revealing a still-sturdy-looking man. He was shirtless, with a white cloth wrapped around his upper body.“Young master could’ve called me, and I would’ve come to you,” said Uncle Jing.“No need, I’m alrea

    "That means cultivation will progress faster if one cultivates within the soul world, isn't that right?" Wu Xiaoshi saw hope. He asked that because he wanted to bring Song Hye to the upper realm. He had thought it through, but the challenge lay in how to form it. According to the theory he had read, the soul world allowed everything to be placed there through imagination alone."You're absolutely right about that. The problem is how you create it and what kind of world you want. You already have a soul space—that is the foundation for forming a soul world, like the one I currently reside in. This could also be called a soul world, only smaller. So, you must train harder in the arts of space and time found within the Scroll of Heavenly Seals. By mastering those two techniques, you'll clearly be able to create a larger space, hence forming a soul world. Meanwhile, time is needed to regulate that world itself. But those skills are not limited to just that. There are many things you can d

    "It seems there will be turmoil in the palace," all the soldiers thought to themselves upon hearing that Emperor Wu Xiaoshi was going to meet Prince Jing Lung. However, none of them dared to object. They all lowered their weapons and escorted Wu Xiaoshi and his wife toward the grand hall of the palace.Inside the grand hall, laughter echoed. It came from several individuals who were delighted with their success in reclaiming the imperial palace."I am truly grateful for the help Patriarch Wen Li has provided in taking back this palace," Jing Lung said with a calm gaze toward Wen Li. He knew full well that without offering a city as a reward, a cunning man like Wen Li would never have agreed to help.Wen Li was a powerful figure, infamous for his expertise in poisons. As the patriarch of the Poison Sect—a sect focused solely on poison research—he was capable of poisoning the very air with his breath. Terrifying, indeed. With cultivation at the peak of the Heaven Realm, few dared to app

    Wen Li could not be underestimated, for she was not someone who would easily fall in battle. She dodged to the left when Wu Xiaoshi’s strike came from the right, thrusting her flexible sword.Clang! Clang! The sound of clashing blades echoed.Their blades met countless times, but what confused Wen Li was why the young man before her remained unaffected by the poison on her sword.Seeing her puzzled expression, Wu Xiaoshi swung his sword harder than before, forcing Wen Li to retreat.“Did you really think a toy poison like that could affect my body? You’re too naive!”His provocative words stung Wen Li, making her face flush with frustration.“Death Poison Physique…” Wen Li muttered softly. A bluish-purple glow radiated from her body, covering every inch of her skin. No normal flesh remained—her whole body seemed to be poison. What would happen if someone touched her?Wu Xiaoshi grew serious. He knew the level of this poison could exceed the speed of his internal healing.He jumped bac

    No matter how long the night lasts, daylight will eventually come.As the sun nearly reached its zenith, all the remaining high officials of the Jing Empire were gathered. Several new faces had replaced the old officials—those who had either betrayed the kingdom or died in the struggle.Everyone sat in neat rows, listening closely to Wu Xiaoshi as he explained the progress of the new empire.Now seated beside him was Song Hye, his Empress. A woman of remarkable beauty, she was also known as the imperial princess of the Song Empire.The name of the empire had been changed to the Shi Empire, and everyone welcomed this change without opposition. Their only hope was that the Shi Empire would bring about a brighter future.Referring to what Emperor Shi had proclaimed, they could all imagine the great things to come. With the unification of two empires, it promised to become a bridge for administrative growth and the people's economy. Hence, they all supported the idea wholeheartedly.When

    Wu Xiao Shi took a short break by leaving the soul chamber. He looked around but found no one."Where did Song Hye go?" Wu Xiao Shi wondered. He stepped out of the room and found several soldiers on patrol within the residence. Wu Xiao Shi called out to them."Do you know where the queen has gone!?" Wu Xiao Shi could have used his dragon spiritual sense to locate his wife. However, at the moment, he lacked the energy due to the extensive training that had drained much of his strength."The Queen has been in the kitchen for the past few days, Your Majesty!" one of the three patrolling soldiers replied politely and respectfully.All three bowed. Although the written rules of the Jing Empire required subjects to kneel before the Emperor, Wu Xiao Shi had changed that. The rule only applied outside the residence or during official meetings. Otherwise, a bow was more than enough. He wasn’t someone obsessed with honor to the point of demanding people to kneel every time they met him."Contin

    "I already have part of the medicine, just waiting for two more items—one of them is the astragalus flower. Yet you oppose me—do you intend to mock this old man so I’m not seen as an equal to your grandfather’s generation?" Patriarch Du’s gaze grew sharper, exerting pressure on Shen Subing.Although the woman appeared calm, her heart was in turmoil. She never expected Patriarch Du to be this furious at being contradicted. In an auction, wealth should determine the winner, yet the patriarch ignored that rule and instead challenged the Haidong Pavilion.Patriarch Du no longer saw Shen Subing as a young woman who could be considered his granddaughter. He struck out with a Qi-powered punch, unleashing a force that surged rapidly.Baam! A loud crash echoed as the punch collided with a transparent, solid barrier.Patriarch Du was bewildered—what kind of shield could withstand his power? He had never heard of the Shen Clan owning such a strong artifact. It felt like punching a steel plate—on

    Wu Xiaoshi only glanced at the box containing the Pill without opening it. After that, he refocused on the glass panel, watching the progress of the auction.The attendant, noticing that Manager Ma was accompanying the young buyer, couldn't help but wonder about the identity of such a young man.With a big question mark lingering in his mind, the attendant excused himself and left._People were still dazed when Qin Xia opened the next item, bringing their minds back to the present.“Let’s continue, this is an Astragalus flower. You all surely know its properties and uses. We'll start the bidding at 500 gold coins.”No one was surprised at the starting price since the rarity of the Astragalus flower was well-known, and obtaining it was extremely dangerous.“550!”Someone had already raised the bid from the opening price. Although the increase wasn’t large, one by one, people from the general audience began placing bids.Until the price reached two million, there were no further bids.

    In a fairly large room, Manager Ma invited Wu Xiaoshi to sit in his personal chair."Please, Your Majesty," Manager Ma treated Wu Xiaoshi with great care and reverence. He was so terrified that every movement was calculated, and sweat continuously dripped from his forehead."Relax, I won't pass judgment. Initially, I just wanted to buy something here, but when I heard there was an auction, I thought I might join. Is that possible?" said Wu Xiaoshi calmly."Your Majesty doesn't need to join the auction. It's a hassle. Just say what you want, and I will do my best to give it to you for free." Manager Ma waited nervously for Wu Xiaoshi's response, his heart pounding, terrified of misspeaking in front of the number one person in the Shi Empire."It wouldn't be fair if I just asked for it. Besides, if I asked for everything being auctioned, would you really be able to give it all?" Wu Xiaoshi looked at Manager Ma calmly, watching as his nervous face turned to one of shock. "Don't worry! I
