The fifth bell had just finished ringing in the nearby towns. The faint sound of partridges crowing could be heard. Soon the sun would rise and a new day would begin.

A human body was lying on a rock at the edge of an old pine forest that broadcast the distinctive scent of the tree's leaves that morning. The figure still hadn't moved when the sun appeared on the eastern horizon and began to shine down on the pine forest.

Vultures, a type of vulture eagle, were seen cawing in the sky, getting ready to pounce on the dying figures lying below them.

A sip of tea later when the vultures were about to begin their act, the vultures had to swallow their disappointment. The hand of the man lying on the rock began to move, a sign that the rhythm of life had risen from his figure that had previously looked like a near-dead man.

Then in a small murmur the man whispered,

"I will not allow you to devour me."

"Tsingg!" from his hands flew three pebbles, flying swiftly and hitting the three vultures

    Wei Guizhu continued."More than all that...is an Elf named Nan the ruler of the South. He who uses the Erhu musical instrument weapon, the owner of the strongest magic power. by playing mysterious, scary and deadly magic notes."Guo Jiang was silent. He looked closely at the stringed instrument, which resembled a large violin, which was played in a standing position using long strings, a bit like a violin.Wei Guizhu continued."The three Elf wizards met and became best friends. They traveled everywhere when the world was still in its infancy at that time.Then a great crime occurred in a country on the Northern Border here.A group of races descended from Demon creatures who escaped from hell in the underworld, they practice devil worship and enslavement of other races.And the long war between the three wizards against the leader of the demon race called the Demon King The Black Demon,Elf Xifang, Elf Dongfang and Elf Nan worked together to create a combined note which ultimately

  • Flute, Guzheng, and Erhu – Part II.

    Wei Guizhu said dreamily,"I just talked with the ancestral spirits on Mystic Mountain.Some spirits there were predicting that shockwaves and war would occur in the Silver Refining Continent later.It won't be long now," said Wei Guizhu, weakly.Guo Jiang was still confused by the old Elf's words, but he was asked to change clothes quickly.“We must meet the Musical Artifact Elder,” Wei Guizhu said, now becoming more mysterious.After Guo Jiang changed his clothes, Wei Guizhu took him away, when the Elf Noble waved his hand once. Everything faded quickly; they teleported to another place.Elven Forest — Elf Forest.The two of them now stood on an old oak path covered in moss that could only be crossed by two people. The sky decorations had faded, the ornamental plants that beautified the Tree House path were no longer visible. It was quiet..."Come in!" The old elf suddenly teleported and stood in front of an old building made of oak. It seemed like there were many strange carvings m

  • Flute, Guzheng, and Erhu – Part I.

    The cool air filled the shores of the Thousand Ice Lake that seemed frozen, cold and capable of crumbling bones. Among the indescribable cold, there was one amazing sight clearly visible in the middle of the lake that was drying up.The young man soaked in the narrow lake water, half of his body was not wearing any body covering at all. It highlighted the slender body; long legs could not be said to be thin, because the muscles were commensurate with his tall body.If someone caught him soaking while cultivating, they would probably think that the young man was just seeking death. The cold air, coupled with the terrifying myth of the Thousand Ice Lake's poisonous cold, was unthinkable for any living creature to sit cultivating in the cold water that never froze.He was unperturbed by the deadly aura that could freeze even living creatures within a few breaths when in contact with the pool water. Moreover, the young man was meditating solemnly with his eyes closed.Suddenly, a loud sou

  • Secrets of the Enchanted Falls.

    "Enchanted Waterfalls!" Elf Wei Guizhu's voice interrupted Guo Jiang's reverie who was now fascinated by the waterfall with its water emitting a greenish light."A long time ago, people often came here to meditate and listen to the sound of flowing water. It was a form of calming spiritual therapy that helped Spirit Masters cultivate their magical powers to grow continuously," Wei Guizhu explained.Guo Jiang still had his eyes narrowed, he felt calm hearing the sound of the water falling from the Magic Waterfall, when Elf Wei Guizhu waved his hand.Whoosh!"Mystic Mountains!This is the Mountain where magical energy and natural balance are very strong. Magical creatures often come here to talk with the Spirits of the Inhabitants of harmony."You can meet the Elf Spirit who understands Cultivation and Martial Arts Techniques, when you have difficulty understanding a martial arts or magic technique," explained Wei Guizhu.Guo Jiang's eyes widened even more!"This is a world full of trea

  • Fairy Cliff’s Dead Secrets.

    The enchanting world of elves in the Realm of Fairy Cliff is not just a story of riverside scenery filled with tame deer and ancient oak trees.Guo Jiang was fascinated by the stunning beauty around him that was all magical — unreasonable. The beautiful scenery was like a painting, feeling magical and mystical, everywhere.If he wanted a beautiful autumn view, with just one word "Autumn" the view before his eyes was filled with a carpet of yellow, those were the withered leaves that fall due to deciduous plants.Then when Guo Jiang said firmly, 'Spring' a miracle happened before his eyes. All the plants instantly became fresh and flowers appeared from the branches of the Magnolia Trees, Peach Trees, and Fuji Blossom Trees."Amazing Lao Ren!" Guo Jiang ran here and there, rolling on the green grass carpet, fragrant with the scent of the forest bringing a refreshing feeling.Guo Jiang changed his views in just three seasons. The gloomy winter was too ordinary in his eyes that he didn't

  • True Fairy Cliff Beckons.

    The Forbidden Pine Forest was filled with a mystical aura that spread along with the sound of the Yang Qin musical instrument plucked by the old elf noble Wei Guizhu — it sounded sad and heartbreaking.Wei Guizhu sat under a shady cypress tree, unoccupied, enchanting with a sad melody that conquered the souls of all living creatures in the Forbidden Forest.Like a melody trapped in the heart, the rhythm of the Yang Qin musical instrument called and captivated the hearts of all beings who heard it, then led their souls into the mysterious darkness of the Pine Forest.Guo Jiang felt himself floating in the strange beauty and charm of magic, taking him to a world far from the real physical world. He felt a peace in his heart that had been neglected for so long.Even though he was drugged, he had some remaining feelings; he noticed starting from fireflies, butterflies, ferocious forest creatures, all sitting together, not being hostile to each other, let alone preying on each other.The o

  • Permanent Enhancements Await.

    Lin Heng asked."Do you two know? What does the Master of Ice Island mean by calling you so early in the morning?" asked Lin Heng.Guo Jiang, although he had heard the leak from Huang Guowei, the Hero of Fuji Flower Island, but he pretended as if he didn't know anything. He was also sure that Lin Hsin had heard the leak and knew what the island master meant by calling them both.As mentioned in the previous chapters. The news spread very quickly among the disciples of this ice island, beating the winter wind.But for the sake of politeness, both of them acted as if they didn't know anything."Please guide the Island Master"The Lord of Ice Island laughed seeing the confused faces of the two young men."Well this is the good news that has been long awaited, certainly by the two of you - the young geniuses of this Ice Island.I just received the goods from the agreement, it is the resources gathered from the other 12 sects” Master Lin Heng took out two spatial rings.He said while point

  • Antiques and Omens.

    “This…” Huang Guowei looked a little nervous. He nodded his head and answered only a few words that sounded like someone mumbling.Guo Jiang felt that Uncle Huang Guowei looked strange. "Why does Uncle Huang Guowei seem to be guarding his words? Speaking mysteriously made Guo Jiang feel strange."Indeed, the purpose of my arrival is with the Master of Fuji Flower Island, we came to share resources according to the agreement of the 13 great sects at that time.However, there is another important matter that needs to be taken care of. However, this matter is still confidential." Huang Guowei paused for a moment."I'm sure that when the time comes, you will know for yourself, after the master of Ice Island tells you the results of the meeting of the 13 Great Sects this time." Huang Guowei seemed even more mysterious, he covered up other things.Guo Jiang was silent. In his heart he thought.."So this is true?Lin Renfu's information that there will be an initial war between the youth of

  • Spying on Secrets.

    Guo Jiang and Fatty left the Know-It-All trading hall, in the middle of the Magnolia Forest as all the visitors dispersed with horror on their faces - ready to spread the information from mouth to mouth.It didn't take long for the Ice Island disciples to be in an uproar, everyone was busy gossiping about the leak in the continent's border Array Formation.The cheerful faces that were previously full of joy on the faces of the two young men now looked covered in dryness.Although there is no definite news yet and this is still a rumor - who will be appointed as a fighter representing Ice Island to fight later, and considering the age gap between the two of them is still very young at 16 years old, it clearly raises an uneasy feeling in the heart.None of the young men of their age would be happy to go to war and fight for their lives at such a young age. They were not even seventeen yet.But on the other hand, young blood boiled inside their bodies. The desire to shake the Wu-Lim worl
