Swordbound Chronicles Level One - Nameless Sword- Part I.
The morning sun shines brightly, and fresh air fills the lungs of all living things; everyone loves the morning. At that time, a young boy of 13 years was seen running fast through the grassland down the valley, over the winding cliffs.His body is tall, appearing taller than most children his age, and his face looks more mature, causing the eyes to pause for a moment to take a good look at that charming face.He is Guo Jiang, who has just left the Xuantong tribe settlement to meet the spirit of a swordsman from 1,000 years ago. The gray-robed refiner is the figure of the swordsman he will meet in the high cliff valley, as they had promised a year ago.Long after he passed through the winding road, jumping over the complicated sheer cliffs at the edge of the grassland, Guo Jiang finally arrived at a valley with high cliffs on both the left and right sides. It was where the refiner's spirit awaited his arrival."Ah, young man. You came in the end. The rest of this soul is getting tired
Swordbound Chronicles Level One - Nameless Sword- Part II.
"You can only practice from the scratches on this number one cliff. The first level of this Nameless Sword can only be trained by a Cultivator ranked as low as level 5 in the Mortal Realm," said the refiner."On the next cliff, that's cliff number 2 to number 10, can only be trained by Earth-ranked to Sky-ranked practitioners. If you try to force yourself to read the scribbles of a level two sword and so on, you will inevitably be deeply wounded because you cannot withstand the strange wild energy, which can only be controlled by practitioners at a higher rank," the gray-robed refiner said.Guo Jiang noted carefully that the next level training of the Nameless Sword was as follows:Level 2 Nameless Sword Technique can only be trained by level 1 Earth rank Cultivators.Level 3 Nameless Sword Technique can only be trained by Earth rank Practitioners.Level 4 Nameless Sword Technique can only be trained by level 4 Earth Rank Experts.Level 5 Nameless Sword Technique can only be trained b

"Now let's see how much you can control the energy of Enchantment. Enchantment, or magic, is an innate ability of the Immortals in the world of Wonderland.”“However, this ability of magic energy or enchantment is sometimes possessed by creatures of the Mortal World—namely, those who are given the Talent by the Gods to cultivate that unique energy," said the gray-robed refiner, instructing Guo Jiang to cast a spell.Guo Jiang then demonstrated some of his magical tricks and abilities during the healing process known as Healing. He cut his hand with a short sword, blood flowing from the gaping wound.Guo Jiang then chanted ancient words, a healing incantation. Slowly, with the refiner's naked eyes, he saw the scratched hand wound fuse perfectly."Pretty good... Your talent in the field of healing magic, or what is called healing, is fairly good. Now let's try something bigger—something that uses enchantment to summon the elements of the world. You will summon the wind by using magic en
Swordbound Chronicles Magic Enchantments & Chakras – Part II.
'But this reality is ridiculous. All the people I used to think of as extraordinary, the shaman Sharantuya, for example—all of them are just meaningless jokes in front of this gallant man in gray robes,' Guo Jiang thought.He had expected to train in the cliff valley near the fir forest for just one year, but instead, he spent more than two years. However, it was certainly not all for naught. Guo Jiang's current cultivation level was at the peak of the Mortal expert (Mortal) tradition, just half a step away from becoming an Earth rank realm practitioner.Even he, who was just a low-class wizard, only worthy of being called a shaman, had now transformed into a Spirit Master called the Spirit of Mortal. It should be noted that currently, on the Silver Screen Continent, there are only a handful of people who deserve to be called Masters of Spirit.The shortage of the inheritance of the science of enchantment and magic, as well as the disappearance of qualified experts who mastered those

Meanwhile, the ten Murong Clan guards took a turn for the worse. Their Murong Clan's young miss had been accused of being a robber who would steal this youngster's Qilin Tear reward. If this were true, Murong Huan's actions would be shameful.If this news were to get out, the Murong Clan would surely fall into disrepute and become the laughingstock of the Wulin World. Just think... a young lady who is the future Matriarch of the Murong Clan has such a low soul. She was caught wanting to steal someone else's property, and because of her low skill level, she was even killed!"He cannot be allowed to live!" ordered the leader of Group 10. "Only a dead man would keep quiet, not talk about the misdeeds of our Murong Clan's young miss," the leader said sternly to his comrades.And on cue, he commanded the ten of them to attack this young man, killing him so that he wouldn't tell the truth outside. "Kill him!"The attacking winds seemed to chase as the five people in front of Guo Jiang swung
Swordbound Chronicles Eastern Dawn Restaurant - Part I.
The City of the Golden Pegasus King is the capital of the Golden Pegasus Empire. Indeed, the name of the city is the same as the name of the country.Like the other empires and kingdoms on the Silver Filter Continent, there are many renowned martial arts experts in this country.There are three major organizations that are most prominent in cultivation and martial arts. They are called the Three Major Sects of the Iron Bride Country.Respectively, they are the 5 Poisons Sect, the Shadow Sword Sect, and finally the Cult Sect, or Religion, called the White Lotus Temple.The 5 Poisons Sect is led by Master Kachi, a poison expert who has cultivated at Earth Realm level 5. Master Kachi is very famous these days. A few years ago, his name shook the Martial Arts World when he challenged the lord of Bingdao to a 100-move battle.It is not clear what was at the root of the dispute at that time, but everyone has been talking about Master Kachi's abilities.His battle was against Lord Lin Di Hen
Swordbound Chronicles Eastern Dawn Restaurant - Part II.
Guo Jiang, as a simple 15-year-old youngster, didn't mind such little things. Instead, he felt fortunate to be seated among the crowd so that he could hear the conversations and information of the outside world from the discussions of many people.The waiter called him.At first, the restaurant waiter looked reluctant when he was called. He looked down on Guo Jiang a little, thinking that the young man's clothes were not worthy of sitting in an expensive restaurant and also looked simple.'Will this little boy be able to afford the dishes of our Eastern Dawn restaurant?' He glanced at Guo Jiang a little unwillingly and asked lazily what he would like to order."Prepare for me steamed buns stuffed with meat, bear tread soup, butter-coated snails, winter lotus root, goose tongue in oyster sauce, deer soup, and 'Kailan' stir-fried mushrooms. For drinks, just provide the best wine from this restaurant," Guo Jiang replied, now looking indifferent. He didn't see the waiter's face gape.The

'After all, there's nothing to lose by moving to the second floor,' he thought. Besides, there were fewer visitors, and the atmosphere was less crowded. Even Guo Jiang could see the cityscape of the Golden Nectar from the best angle on the balcony of the Eastern Dawn.As Guo Jiang savored bite after bite of the chef's exquisite meat and vegetables, he vaguely caught the conversation of two people sitting about a table away from where he was eating.The two people looked like cultivators of the Martial Arts World, as their clothes appeared compact, and there were objects protruding from their backs and waists. Guo Jiang guessed that the protruding objects were weapons; if not a machete, then a sword.Both of them wore Hanfu hats with long ribbons, the characteristics of Martial Arts World people who insisted on disguising themselves as literati.They spoke quietly as if they were afraid of their conversation being overheard by others. But Guo Jiang, who had now reached the late-level M

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
