Swordbound Chronicles Snow Lotus Energy Cultivation Technique – Part II.
Guo Jiang was a clever kid and was good at reading situations. He hurriedly brought himself closer to the feet of the gray-robed Refiner, bowed, and kissed the ground. He said with tears in his eyes,"Dear Refiner Lord, I have long been humiliated and insulted by people running away and hiding in this remote place. This is all I did just to take revenge on those who killed my two parents as well as the inhabitants in the Hell of Earth Belly.""Please take me on as a disciple to teach me the right way to motivate myself, to take revenge, and to become a practitioner who walks the path of righteousness."Guo Jiang prostrated himself at the feet of the gray-robed Refiner with tears in his eyes. The man was silent, not moving at all, letting Guo Jiang remain in a prostrate position at his feet.Time passed slowly; the wind blew lightly, and the sky was already twilight. The golden yellow color of the Western horizon was visible in a yellowish tinge in the sky. But Guo Jiang didn't move hi

The Refiner just waved a hand, and the dust and moss covering the range of high cliffs instantly fell, flying away in the wind.Now Guo Jiang could see on the cliff walls, which had 10 high cliffs, that on each of them there were scratches made by sharp objects, irregular and probably the result of sword strokes.Guo Jiang gasped. He didn't expect that someone could make sword strokes on such a hard and tall-looking cliff.'Unless that person can fly,' he thought. His face sobered up, and his heart sank...'This means that if those sword strokes were made by the Refiner in the past, it means that he could fly,' he silently glanced at the lingering soul figure whose shadow was getting blurry.Guo Jiang was extremely shocked. Because in this present time, the time after 1000 years of martial arts glory, no one among the practitioners of the martial world could perform flight movements.He then noticed the sword scratches on the high cliff.At first, the scratches looked ordinary, as if

Guo Jiang really enjoyed the journey back to the grassland where the Xuantong Tribe's camp was located. Previously, his travel to the Fir Forest had been full of struggles, but now everything felt easy.He felt like a bird as he jumped from one rock to another while descending the steep valley. Laughing happily, he ran quickly along the grassy ground, as fast as a deer.On several occasions, Guo Jiang even practiced chasing wild horses. Although he eventually lost, Guo Jiang was still happy. In his entire life, this was the first time he felt so great.'I feel like this is all a dream; I can't believe that I've become someone worthy of being called a cultivator,' he thought happily.Previously, the journey taken from the Xuantong Tribe's campsite to the Fir Forest took up to half a day. Now that he was ranked as a level 2 mortal expert, the trip back to the campsite only took a few hours—no more than 2 hours.Guo Jiang organized all the herbs and spirit plants he had harvested while i
Swordbound Chronicles Archer Temur – Part II.
Everyone in the field erupted in cheers when they saw that the first arrow hit the black dot in the center of the target, followed by the second arrow splitting the first arrow, also hitting the black dot. Then the third, fourth, and fifth arrows all overlapped each other, perfectly centered on the target.Guo Jiang now ignored Tole and Guyug, who were trembling in disbelief, and walked over to instructor Tudan, who then patted his shoulder repeatedly."Congratulations, Archer Temur. As an archery instructor, as well as a soldier, this is the first time I've seen an archer who was able to release five arrows in a row, all at almost the same time. Moreover, the most surprising thing is that the five arrows are all on target, splitting each other and scrambling to hit the most central point," Tudan said, looking at Guo Jiang sincerely.Guo Jiang humbly expressed his gratitude, saying it was all thanks to instructor Tudan's guidance and training."I was thinking of offering you a career
Swordbound Chronicles Northwest Tribal Genius Tournament – Part I.
One year has passed, and time has flown by. Winter has given way to spring, and now it's summer—the time when the match between the geniuses of the three northwestern tribes will be held in the near future.Guo Jiang is currently 13 years old, and he is already very proficient in the Snow Lotus Purity Sword Technique. Every night, he practices to the point where it feels like there isn't enough time to sleep. Not to mention that after returning from sword technique training, he has to practice breathing to increase cold energy according to the Snow Lotus Cultivation training.Previously, the effect of this gold-ranked sword technique only produced a cold impact, but now, with the stability of his cultivation at level 2 Mortal rank, Guo Jiang has been able to cause a deadly effect with each stroke of the sword in his hand."I really need to win this race. That grand prize Qilin tear is truly my ultimate ticket to reunite with the gray robe refiner. The 10-Step Nameless Sword Technique
Swordbound Chronicles Northwest Tribal Genius Tournament – Part II.
"The first match is horse riding skills. Each contestant will spur their horse, run fast, and at the bend in the road, they must shoot 10 targets—people moving like deer in the forest," announces an elder from the Xuantong tribe.Guo Jiang receives the third performance number, after Tobugkha and then Bora. All the spectators cheer for Khuchar, the son of Chigu from the Bada Tribe.Tobugkha rides his horse with a low profile, not looking arrogant at all. Although he doesn't smile, he nods to the crowd, a sign of greeting after they recognize him. The people of Lantas increasingly praise Khuchar's humble and low-profile demeanor."Now!" The booming voice of the Xuantong tribal elder, who serves as the observing judge, signals that Khuchar has been able to spur his horse to shoot the target around the corner.Wush! Khuchar's horse darts like a deer, faster than anyone had ever imagined."I bet this Bada tribesman will win the Southwest genius match," says an audience member."Maybe your

"Temur, the young hero of the Xuantong tribe, managed to knock down 10 targets of those moving people!""What? How is that possible? There has never been anyone among the Xuantong tribe who possesses archery skills coupled with such great strength. I can't believe it!"Not content with that, many people took to the streets of the arena and ran around the corner to see Temur's results.The situation became even more uproarious after everyone saw the result: 10 people collapsed on the ground with arrows stuck right between the eyebrows of the artificially drawn figures."The first winner of the horse riding and arrow shooting skills test was Temur from the Xuantong tribe, followed by Bora of the Gatsuu tribe and Khuchar of the Bada tribe," the elder's voice rang out loudly.The Xuantong supporters cheered Temur's name over and over again. Guo Jiang smiled warmly, looking at his Xuantong supporters with lively eyes, as if to say that he would give them something to cheer for in this race
Swordbound Chronicles Qilin's Tears _ Part II.
Many in the audience were speechless, unable to believe that Bora had performed so poorly."Her behavior is like that of a child who cannot accept defeat, blaming the object used, claiming that the bow is not a first-class bow but a manufacturing defect," jeers could be heard from both the Xuantong and Bada audiences.It was Guo Jiang's turn to showcase his expertise in archery skills. The crowd, which had been cheering for Bora, now turned around and praised Guo Jiang."This young man is a humble person; he doesn't talk much. But look at the results of his riding skills accompanied by archery techniques—he's perfect. If he can knock down 10 people on horseback, then for the archery skills, although the shooting distance is too far for someone as young as him, I'm sure he will do better than Bora," was the discussion among the audience.Guo Jiang remained fully concentrated, not letting himself get lost in the audience's conversations that sometimes sounded dismissive of him, just bec

The Stimfalia Feather's Worth.
Nonetheless, Guo Jiang did not take offense when he thought he was a new disciple of Ice Island. On the contrary, Guo Jiang was happy that this fatty didn't pretend to be better if he knew that he was the sole disciple of the Deputy Island Sovereign."My name is Guo Jiang.I am indeed a new disciple on this Ice Island.If Big Brother doesn't mind, can you recommend a stall for me to buy this thing called Stimfalia Feather?" asked Guo Jiang innocently.Hearing 'Stimfalia Feather,' the fat man's face instantly changed. He didn't expect that the youngster he thought was a new student would want to buy Stimfalia Feathers, a rare and expensive item."Stimfalia Feathers?" the fatty squinted, his eyes deeply probing Guo Jiang."That is an item belonging to a spirit being that is relatively expensive and hard to come by. What are you looking for that rare object for?And if Lin Cheng may know the name of your direct mentor or teacher? And if I may guess, you must be an inner court disciple, r
The Persistent Merchant of Magnolia Forest.
On a path that two people could walk on, while all around were the deciduous trunks of Magnolia trees trying to survive, waiting for winter to pass and return to sprout new life in the form of beautiful Magnolia flowers in yellow, pink, and other attractive colors. The young man walked slowly towards the westernmost part of the Magnolia Forest.Guo Jiang glanced up the 10-story stone staircase, at the top of which was an archway with a wide board inscribed in large letters: "Ice Island Unique Goods Market."He breathed a sigh of relief. After passing ten steps, the monotonous scenery of the deciduous forest in front of his eyes changed. There were many stalls of various styles. They were neither small nor large, with structures made of bamboo walls and thatched roofs.In addition to most of the visitors being sect disciples passing by on the forest roads, there were also some seniors or young elders of the sect who came just to look at the rare items there.The loud voices of each mer
The Elven Sage's Guidance.
"Lao Ren...So you are a descendant of one of the races said to be among the legendary creatures that dwell in the Forbidden Forest?" asked Guo Jiang, now amazed. His demeanor became more respectful toward Wei Guizu.Without answering a word, Wei Guizu then pulled back the strands of Guo Jiang’s hair covering his ears, making his pointed ears more clearly visible."By looking at these ears, it already shows who and which race I’m from, doesn’t it?" Guo Jiang was dumbfounded but tried to look casual and not surprised.Wei Guizu then let go of the youngster’s hair, now looking down to camouflage his pointed ears."Guo Jiang understands," the youngster whispered in a low voice. His demeanor became even more respectful after knowing that this old man was of the Elven race."Now what should Guo Jiang do? Please instruct me, Lao Ren."With a faint smile, Wei Guizu gave the youngster some advice."As I said earlier, you’ve been lucky, unexpectedly obtaining a luminous bone, a leftover remnan
Wei Guizu – Part II.
Trusting the old man who felt good and sincere, Guo Jiang then shut up, not asking anymore.Time passed in seconds, roughly ten blinks of an eye.Then Wei Guizu, the old man, spoke up again..."It's here!" His finger flicked one more time, and everything became real now; it wasn't pitch black like before.In front of Guo Jiang's eyes dramatically appeared a beautiful valley full of lush shades. There was a long stream of water flowing in a clear river, while on the banks were many old and sturdy oak trees swaying in the wind."Ancient oak forests and clear streams," Guo Jiang was wide-eyed with admiration.Just as he was admiring the oak forest and the clear stream, a forest antelope suddenly approached and was friendly to Guo Jiang. Following the gazelle cub and its family, they ran over Guo Jiang and Wei Guizu.Unable to stand the animal's docility, Guo Jiang now touched the deer's head; the animal did not dodge at all.Then other animals such as rabbits, birds, and others appeared.
Wei Guizu.
Guo Jiang was shocked beyond belief. A fragile-looking old man spoke in a soft voice that sounded like a flute being blown."Lao ren (Old Master), who are you? How can you be in a place forbidden to everyone on this Ice Island? I have never heard of any elder on this island who is characterized like you," asked Guo Jiang respectfully.The man looked frail, yet his outfit seemed expensive and unique."Looks like it's custom-made," Guo Jiang thought, paying attention to the details of the outfit."Although he looks old and ancient, his movements are agile and light, similar to a deer.Wait a minute... Aren't his ears too pointy for a human?" Guo Jiang thought hard, trying to guess who the old man was.One thing Guo Jiang concluded: although he was old and a little strange, the man's overall appearance looked great. His voice and speech indicated that he was an educated person or perhaps from the nobility."Uhuk!" Guo Jiang came to his senses after the sound of the old man's deliberate c
The Forbidden Forest’s Secret.
"So what do you guys think Lin Hsin is like?" Guo Jiang asked Ning Hua and Chen Yang, the youngster and the worker disciple girl.After looking at each other and previously looking hesitant, Ning Hua spoke up."Lin Hsin is the best genius on this Ice Island with cultivation at Earth level 4.I heard that he has been trained with the Orange Energy Sword technique by his master who is also an Ice Island elder," Ning Hua explained, unable to hide the voice that contained veneration towards Lin Hsin.Chen Yang, the worker disciple, was not to be outdone in describing how genius Lin Hsin was."Even I heard that he has practiced and is able to perform sword moves up to level 5, that is the specially learned Orange Energy Sword Art."Chen Yang continued,"Lin Hsin even surpassed the senior disciples and elder candidates who were at the atmospheric level, who were also just able to set foot to learn the level 5 sword technique," Chen Yang added vehemently.Guo Jiang only smiled at the blatant
The Lonely Path of Cultivation.
With that ability, when we Moon Realm cultivators perform a series of level 1 to level 18 Orange Energy Sword techniques, most Moon Realm cultivators will split their souls into two. One remains in the physical body and the other forms its own figure, and it feels like there are two figures working together to form a sword formation!" concluded Lin Haoyu.Guo Jiang was instantly enlightened."I understand, master.""That means Guo Jiang can't maximize this Orange Energy Sword attack before reaching the Moon level?Or if you want to use the maximum ability of the sword technique, Guo Jiang should join forces with other cultivators to form a sword formation?" asked Guo Jiang, trying to reconfirm. He didn't seem to accept the fact that this sword technique would be of greater benefit if all attacks were launched in the form of a sword formation.His face seemed to change; he was a little disappointed."That's absolutely right," said Lin Haoyu, confirming again.The master saw the look of
Hidden Depths of the Sword.
Guo Jiang was dumbfounded by his master's explanation. He did not expect at all that all those attacks after attacks of the Orange Energy Sword that he launched with ease were in fact the one thing that was difficult and considered complicated for cultivators on this Ice Island to learn.Guo Jiang did not realize that the creator of the eighteen signature sword attacks of the Ice Island Sect was the same person—his mentor, the Gray Robe Refiner.Because the Orange Energy Sword Technique (Platinum Grade) and Nameless Sword (Diamond Grade) came from a single source, where Guo Jiang received direct guidance from a piece of the Gray Robe Refiner's soul to practice Snow Lotus Cold Energy base cultivation, the foundation of all cold cultivation whose strength was slightly different from Ice Island's cold energy gathering cultivation.Plus the lessons on the more complicated Nameless Sword Moves his mentor practiced, and when he learned the copy of the platinum-grade Orange Energy Sword Skil
A Prodigy’s Sword Dance.
When executing that Orange Energy Sword, Guo Jiang’s face turned serious.For him... to train and demonstrate the Orange Energy Sword was extremely easy in his view. All the cultivation bases of this technique looked familiar with the knowledge that the Gray Refiner had passed down.In his training in the harsh Northwest back then, he had been trained by his gray-robed Refiner mentor in a very complicated and grueling Diamond Ranking technique.“That’s the Nameless Sword Technique!”“One moment!”Speaking of the Nameless Sword Technique, Guo Jiang instantly remembered the Refiner’s message.“This level 2 Nameless Sword Technique can only be trained by a level 1 Earth practitioner.While level 3 Nameless Sword Techniques can be trained by a level 3 Earth rank motivated practitioner.”He secretly regretted his casualness. All this time he had broken through to the level 3 Earth realm but he had not even touched the copy given by the Refiner to learn level 2 and level 3 of the Nameless S
