Silence reigned all around. A drop of blood from the tip of Gaiyou Sword fell to the ground, causing Linfen to shudder at the sight. He looked at the people lying haphazardly on the ground, their faces as pale as paper, and the stench of blood made Linfen vomited.
He didn't know how long he had vomited; his face was completely bloodless, and waves of dizziness rushed straight to his head. He didn't even know how he got back to his room. After he woke up, the horrifying scene kept replaying in his mind, refusing to leave, and cold sweat kept pouring down his forehead.
***
In the open space not far from the thatched hut, Gaiyu, dressed in white, recalled Linfen's expression when he saw that scene, and felt the pent-up emotions in his heart erupt from his chest, making him want to roar to the sky.
Suddenly, he drew his sword, a cold glint appearing as a sharp sword aura, mixed with an unparalleled momentum, soared straight into the sky.
Afterimages appeared, and profound sword moves emanated from his hands, each with its own mysterious aura.
With a heart at ease, sword intent erupted, sometimes like falling petals, sometimes like scorching snow in winter. The remaining spiritual energy surged out and surrounded him. At this moment, he was all alone, freely unleashing the sword intent in his heart.
His left hand extended a claw, his right hand held a sword; his movements were as swift as the wind and as powerful as a dragon. Sonic booms echoed around him.
Fallen leaves, carried by the wind, eventually coalesced into a massive energy storm that swept upwards. The sky seemed to darken instantly, filled with sword lights.
Gaiyu let out a deep breath, turned his gaze to Linfen who had arrived at some point, his serious face showing a hint of doting, patted Linfen's little head, and sighed softly. "To walk the path of greatness, you have to go through these things sooner or later. There will be many more things like this in the future. You must learn to adapt. Since you are cultivating, you must be prepared!”
Seeing Gaiyu's suddenly cold expression, Linfen was slightly shocked. It was the first time he had seen Gaiyu with such an expression, which made him feel a little scared. With the chill of the dim night, he shivered involuntarily. "I... I don't know if I can kill anyone. I just want to find my parents and spend every happy day with them and you, Uncle Gai."
"Your idea is good, but how easy is it to achieve it? The path of cultivation is extremely dangerous, and the road ahead is full of unknowns. You have dreams, but to achieve them, you must have a strong heart and make yourself stronger." Gaiyu said, emphasizing each word with great seriousness and earnestness. “Always remember this…”
Linfen nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite. "I will definitely become strong, and I will find my parents!"
Hearing his naive yet firm answer, Gaiyu was slightly surprised. Then he sighed, sheathed his sword, and walked forward.
Linfen looked at Gaiyu walking into the distance with a puzzled expression, shook his little head, and followed him with a silly grin.
"We can no longer stay here. Let's find another place, which is safer and will be more beneficial to your cultivation!"
"Uncle Gai? Where are we going?" Linfen looked up and asked innocently, his young face full of confusion.
"The Starry Night Forest."
***
The Starry Night Forest, located at the junction of the western and central regions, was a vast forest teeming with rare and exotic beasts and countless tempting rare fruits. For cultivators, it was nothing short of a paradise.
However, fortune and danger were hand in hand, and this place was also filled with endless peril. Powerful savage beasts, ferocious magical creatures, and terrifying outlaws who killed and robbed for treasures add an element of uncertainty and crisis to this forest.
On this day, at the entrance to the Starry Night Forest, Gaiyu and Linfen, arrived. Their combination drew everyone's attention.
"Who would be so lost as to bring a child to such a place?"
"It's nothing but trouble."
Ignoring the opinions of others, Gaiyu stopped when he reached a point slightly closer to the center of the Starry Night Great Forest. He nodded in satisfaction at the surrounding environment.
"We rest today, and start your cultivation tomorrow."
"Okay, Uncle Gai."
***
As the evening breeze broke the dawn, a lazy beam of sunlight shone from the distant horizon. The glistening dewdrops, with their bright radiance, jolted people awake.
It was already late autumn, with a slight chill in the air, but this could not dampen someone's passion for learning or their boundless energy.
In the hazy mist, Linfen ran around, seemingly chasing and playing, but clearly not. Gaiyu smiled wryly to himself; this kid was really eager. He smiled and said. "Little Lin, stop. It's time I tell you about the cultivation world first."
Upon hearing this, Linfen swiftly sat down next to Gaiyu.
The speed of his movement made Gaiyu's lips twitch slightly. Looking at Linfen, who was staring at him with wide eyes, Gaiyu smiled awkwardly. This little guy seemed to be quite interested in this.
"Linfen, listen carefully. I'll only explain these basics once. It's on you if you don't remember them." Gaiyu glanced at Linfen and began to speak to himself.
"As cultivators, strictly speaking, we are no different from ordinary people. They just know more fighting techniques and have special abilities. After cultivating to a certain level, we can sense the existence of special energy in this world. The basis for guiding this energy lies in the mental power of the human body itself." At this point, Gaiyu paused, looking at Linfen's slightly dim eyes, and continued, "Although mental power is the foundation of cultivators, the level of cultivation does not represent the level of combat power. You must remember this!"
Even though he knew Gaiyu was trying to comfort her, Linfen still felt a warmth in his heart and nodded slightly, the gloom in his eyes immediately fading considerably.
Seeing Linfen's appearance, Gaiyu sighed inwardly, then said in a deep voice, "Don't be discouraged. There's another way you might be able to cultivate mental power. You will need a catalyst. As for now, you must strengthen your body to a certain level. This is the only way."
Gaiyu's expression immediately turned serious, and his deep voice, as if possessing a magical power, completely captivated Linfen's attention.
"After cultivating to a certain level, any cultivator will awaken their own unique abilities, or rather, essence powers. At that time, reaching the Immortal Martial Realm, or even the Ancestral Emperor Realm will be possible."
"Uncle Gai, what level have you reached?" Linfen, the curious child, asked.
"Let's not talk about it!"
"And what about my father? What level did he reach?"
"I don't know. No one knows what level your father has reached. All we know is that his skill is unparalleled and his cultivation is unprecedented. Perhaps he has reached the legendary realm!" Gaiyu sighed, and continued. “Cultivation is a never-ending process; who can truly know for sure? Being invincible here doesn't mean anything. In the vast continent and the boundless starry sky, there may be even more incredible beings. As for your father, you must find him yourself. I am merely playing a guiding role, and this is also your father's wish!”
"Uncle Gaiyu, please tell me who my father is."
Upon hearing this, Gaiyu's expression changed drastically, then became extremely serious. He said, "I can't tell you that now. You'll know when you're strong enough in the future. Also, I will give you a storage ring to keep your ancient jade."
"Thank you, uncle Gai."
"From today onwards, you must be prepared to endure hardship. Cultivation is not something to be taken lightly; one wrong move and your life could be in danger!"
"Yes, I understand. I will cultivate diligently from now on."
"That's enough, let's begin your cultivation!"
"Okay, Uncle Gai!"

43. The Sea Trial
A dark figure slowly appeared at the doorway. It was a tall, slender young man wearing a red coat. His cold eyes calmly surveyed the surrounding crowd, his face expressionless."Come with me! The hunter assessment is now officially starting. The first thing you need to do is keep up with me, otherwise, there's no point in talking." The three or four hundred people in the room couldn't help but feel a little disdainful and slightly disappointed with the hunter assessment.Even Linfen frowned slightly upon hearing this, but he didn't show it. Since the old alchemist had asked him to participate in this assessment, he must have his own reasons. Linfen pursed his lips and remained silent.Seemingly sensing the commotion in the crowd, the tall, slender young man said calmly, "If anyone wants to leave now, we absolutely will not stop them. However, there may be danger to their lives later on, so we hereby make it clear that we will not be responsible for any danger to their lives." The ma
42. The Stone Hunting City
Stone Hunting City was a large city in the eastern part of the Star Origin Continent. It was considered one of the most important cities in the area. The streets are bustling with people, and the cries of vendors and the conversations of pedestrians create a lively atmosphere. Since the disappearance of the Time-Space lineage, Stone Hunter City had been controlled by so-called hunters. Now, this place could be described as a hunter's paradise. Of course, these hunters were not the same as ordinary hunters. As the hub of Hunter City, this place was definitely not simple. Here, the Hunter Guild, as the nominal master of hunters, had absolute power in this city. Once those laws were promulgated, no one had ever dared to confront them directly. After all, confronting a behemoth like the Hunter Guild would come at a price. "So this is Stone Hunter City? Truly extraordinary!" Linfen said calmly, his eyes filled with undisguised amazement. Compared to the branch cities, this was like co
41. Off To The Stone Hunting City
"Embrace the primordial unity, guard your mind, and do not be disturbed by external things. Imagine yourself within your body, feeling those spiritual forces; you are a part of them." The old alchemist placed his hands on Linfen's back, drawing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to gather on Linfen's body.A burning sensation kept emanating from The old alchemist's hands, and Linfen felt as if his whole body was on fire. He felt like a piece of metal undergoing unparalleled forging.His intuition told him that The old alchemist was doing something very dangerous, but now no one could stop him, and Linfen could only passively endure it all.Beads of sweat dripped from The old alchemist's forehead, his hands trembling slightly as countless intricate miniature arrays coalesced in his palms and were channeled into Linfen's body."Golden Refiner, as a unique cultivation technique, cannot be refined into a human body, otherwise one will suffer unparalleled and severe calamities. Even
40. The Golden Alchemist [II]
"Alas, it seems you are just like that man. I see his former glory in you, except that he used a knife, while you use a sword, that's all!" The man in black couldn't help but sigh. Thinking of that man, he couldn't help but feel a pang of regret. He was a genius who achieved the Great Demon True Body, but in the end, his fate was unknown. "I can perfect this Seven Deadly Swords for you, only if you promise me that from now on you will not kill the innocent indiscriminately, and that you will handle all matters with an upright heart. The sword is the chameleon among weapons; if the heart is upright, then it is upright. If the heart is corrupted by demonic influence, it will be a disaster for the world," The man said very seriously. "I will keep your words in mind, senior. I promise." The man took the Seven Absolute Sword from Linfen and placed it horizontally on the table. He then began to form hand seals, and one after another, profound and mysterious incantations appeared from his
39. The Golden Alchemist [I]
Cultivating after pushing one's limits always yielded twice the results with half the effort. A slight smile appeared on Linfen's lips. As he continued to cultivate, because the second meridian, the breast meridian, was blocked, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth could not enter. Therefore, he continuously cleansed and expanded the meridians that were already open throughout his body. Linfen's first meridian was now more than twice the size of an average person's, which was why he possessed such astonishing mental power—all thanks to the continuous expansion of his meridians. Now, as soon as the blockage in his breast meridian was removed, he could immediately enter the second meridian's opening stage, the best proof of his diligent practice. Taking a deep breath, he opened his eyes, which flashed with a dazzling light. The intense cultivation after pushing himself to the limit left him feeling refreshed and invigorated. The surging spiritual energy also made him gasp in s
38. The Heavenly Cliff
Linfen simply laughed off the rumors. Having already survived the near-death experience in the Soul Refining Cave, such danger seemed trivial to him. He arrived at the bottom of the Heavenly Cliff, his eyes slightly narrowed. Yellow sand filled the sky, and the swirling sand and stones moved at high speed under the influence of the whirlwind. From a distance, the bottom of the cliff looked like a yellow circle enveloping the Heavenly Cliff, revealing only a sliver of clarity on the top, shrouded in mist, creating a feeling that was both hellish and heavenly. Linfen took a deep breath, unleashing the full power of his Entangling Technique. Silvery-white mental energy slowly enveloped his entire body as he walked step by step towards the Heavenly Cliff. A powerful impact slammed into Linfen's protective aura, creating ripples. Even with his mental energy pushed to its limit, some sand and gravel still managed to penetrate his defenses, striking his body and causing sharp pain. Linf
