Chapter 165: Aerial Observation

Having learned from Lin Dayou's previous teachings, Lin Xiao carefully remembered to leave some Ice Stone Grass with its roots and stems wrapped in soil. You never know—it might be possible to plant it later.

Many cultivators had tried this before, but they found that storing Ice Stone Grass in jade boxes designed for spiritual plants was useless. Once removed from the Icefield Secret Realm, the grass would wither within half an hour. While it could still be used as a medicin...

Chapter 164: A Bountiful Harvest of Ice Stone Grass

At the front of the line were mostly people from the prominent families of Yuanling City and disciples from the top ten sects who were here for training. As soon as the entrance to the secret realm opened, Yuan Zhiyun led her five-member team into the realm ahead of everyone else.

Lin Xiao observed the people around him. Most of them were Foundation Establishment cultivators, but there were also a few mixed in from the eighth and ninth levels of Qi Refinement. These Qi Refineme...

Chapter 163: The Secret Realm Opens

After listening to Lin Xiao's account, Liao Pantu stroked his beard with a smile and said, "Not bad, you've improved quite a bit. You're certainly much better than when you recklessly charged at that Silver Frost Python demon, got poisoned, and nearly lost your life."

Hearing this, Lin Xiao wasn't sure whether Liao Pantu was praising or mocking him, so he could only respond with his usual polite smile.

Back then, he hadn’t wanted to act recklessly, but if he hadn't inte...

Chapter 162: An Unexpected Encounter

Seeing the steady stream of customers at Yang Jinshu's tea stall, other villagers in Xiushui Village noticed that it didn’t seem too difficult to manage. Encouraged by this, some families also set up small stalls nearby. Instead of selling tea, they offered homemade items like dried sweet potatoes, which were popular rural snacks.

The small stream flowing from the foot of the northern mountain, passing by Sun Yigao's private school, had now become a popular spot for visiting ...

Chapter 161: Enrollment in the Private School

Thanks to the bountiful harvest earlier in the year, and with Sun Yigao's achievement of gaining the county magistrate’s favor by having the village’s miscellaneous taxes waived, the villagers were intrigued when they heard that he was opening a private school to personally teach students.

Recently, due to his recent success as the top scorer in the county examination, many scholars from neighboring areas flocked to the village—some to challenge Sun Yigao, some out of cur...

Chapter 255: Return to Finish the Job

Seeing the fleeing sea creature, Lin Qian sneered, "You think you can run after trying to kill me?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Qian's figure blurred and vanished from his original position.

Shen Bin was desperately fleeing, never expecting to encounter such a terrifying opponent. Earlier, he had successfully passed the Path of Battle, but had lost in the fifth battle, leading him to this small world.

As he wandered around, he stumbled upon a young human in t...

Chapter 254: The Phantom Elder

The puppet's thunderous footsteps echoed as it charged toward Lin Qian, and his mind raced with thoughts.

"Spirit-Repelling Silver has a special effect on soul power, so a direct confrontation will definitely be tough."

"Because of its heavy build, it's slow, but its strength is likely immense. A head-on clash would be a disadvantage."

"The best approach is to overwhelm it with speed, targeting the joints to disable the puppet and secure a victory."

As Lin Qian ...

Chapter 253: The Path of Battle

"He's the grandson of the Master," Zhou Yi'an replied as he gently removed Yang Guixiang's hand from his collar. "But don't tell the young master about the old master. The old master doesn't want him to know right now."

Hearing this, the blood-red color in Yang Guixiang's pupils gradually faded. He turned his gaze to two disciples in red and white robes, who were preparing to enter the portal, and transmitted a soul message to them.

"Ensure the safety of the young man in wh...

Chapter 252: Yang Guixiang

The Southern Assembly was indeed a grand event in this region.

The Sea Clans of the Southern Sea Domain and the Human Clans near the coastal regions of the Southern Domain were each allowed to send a hundred representatives to participate in this feast.

Judging by the vastness of the surrounding ruins, this ancient human sect must have held a high status in its time, possibly once being a hegemon of the land.

Therefore, the various factions were highly eager to see wh...

Chapter 251: Strange Attitudes

Lin Qian and Ye Xin had already settled into their designated bedroom, where the array had been modified to keep out the seawater. The Carefree Sect's group was staying in the adjacent courtyard, as they had more people.

"Xiao Qian, can you figure out what's going on?" Ye Xin, sitting in the bedroom, asked Lin Qian, feeling a bit uneasy. For some reason, this whole situation gave her a sense of dread.

"Right now, Zhang Tianxin and Zhou Yi'an have gone to demand an explanati...

Chapter 450: Returning a Favor

When a few chests of jewels were thrown down, Sun Ce's soldiers began to waver. Sun Ce looked back at his troops and knew what was on their minds. They could easily slack off and not fight with full effort.

Zhou Yu shook his head in exasperation at Sun Ce. Why waste time with words? Just attack. Now, they were stuck between advancing and retreating.

Helpless, Zhou Yu stepped forward. "Lù Kàng, why use the wealth of our army as your guarantee? At this point, you must reali...

Chapter 449: You Have Zhang Liang’s Strategy, I Have Over-the-Wall Ladders

In truth, Zhou Yu disliked using clever schemes because employing them only highlighted his side’s weakness. Zhou Yu preferred leading his troops to decisively crush the enemy in straightforward combat. To reach this level, he diligently honed his command abilities. When he had more soldiers and enough provisions, he would overwhelm the enemy head-on.

“This plan is excellent,” the three generals, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, and Han Dang, quickly grasped the benefits of Zhou Yu’s...

Chapter 448: Battle of Lùjiāng

Chen Xi pondered his strategy while silently unfolding his folding fan, bone by bone. In an era where one could summon wind and rain, catching an opponent off guard was not difficult.

On the other side, the city of Lùjiāng had been under siege for several days. Lù Kàng made it clear he would not surrender. Though his forces lacked great generals, the four members of the Lù family, from old to young, were not to be underestimated. They were fighting on their home turf, and th...

Chapter 447: Large-Scale Weapons...

Though Xun Yu appeared gentle and approachable on the surface, his pride was deeply ingrained in his bones. This was understandable, given his status in this world.

To put it simply, although Nanyang was known as one of the richest places under the heavens, it couldn’t support the massive army that Cao Cao commanded. However, Xun Yu made it work by exhausting all resources, with no regard for the future, essentially draining Nanyang dry. It would take at least a decade for the ...

Chapter 446: Xun Yu Takes Action

“The Xiliang cavalry is now split into four factions, controlled by Li Jue, Guo Si, Fan Chou, and Zhang Ji. Li Jue holds the strongest force with around 20,000 true Xiliang cavalry, Guo Si commands 17,000, Fan Chou has about 10,000, and Zhang Ji has over 8,000 riders,” Fan Qin explained helplessly. The entire Sili region had essentially become the home base for the Xiliang cavalry, with them scattered everywhere.

The others gasped in shock upon hearing this. The number was si...

Chapter 445: Just Stirring Up Trouble

Although the food crisis for Cao's army had been alleviated, there was still no solution to the manpower problem. Xun Yu had initially sent someone to negotiate with Lu Su about redeeming their captured soldiers, but Lu Su flatly refused, saying he'd rather keep them than let Cao Cao have them back. This left Xun Yu with no options, though it did allow him to give a reasonable explanation to the families of the captured soldiers. It wasn't that they didn't want to bring them back—it ...

Chapter 444: Cao Cao's Misfortune

No matter how Liu Bei explained it, those around him remained convinced that he was indeed a broad-minded and exceptional leader, lacking the unpredictable temperament of other rulers. This reassured them that, while they didn't need to constantly analyze Liu Bei's thoughts, at least their safety was guaranteed—they didn't have to worry about holding grudges.

Liu Bei smiled faintly but didn't dwell on the praise from Jia Xu and others. He merely reflected that the little knowle...

Chapter 443: Different Goals

Alright, from Liu Bei's perspective, the only situations that would make Lu Su and Chen Xi so anxious would involve either Lü Bu or Yuan Shao. Lü Bu, despite retreating from Cao Cao due to food shortages, was still a potential threat to Liu Bei. Compared to Yuan Shao, Liu Bei was more wary of Lü Bu. Yuan Shao had land, resources, power, and intelligence, so he wouldn't engage in a direct conflict with Liu Bei at this time. Lü Bu, on the other hand, was like a lone wolf—unpredicta...

Chapter 442: A Misunderstanding

A cold smile appeared on Jia Xu's face. Although Zixu had provided information, Jia Xu, being as cautious as ever, would verify everything.

"Withdraw the troops," Jia Xu called to Wu Anguo with a relaxed expression. He had obtained all the intelligence he needed, and as for Zixu, if he wanted to leave, Jia Xu wouldn’t stop him. Jia Xu understood that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, Zixu would eventually return to Liu Bei's side.

"Yes!" Wu Anguo saluted and then, wi...

Chapter 441: No Longer Fearful

"You don’t know anything, do you!" Jia Xu suddenly became furious. His once smiling, cautious, and hopeful expression was completely replaced by anger. "I ask you for a way to wealth, and you won’t even tell me. You’re not even as good as a wandering fortune-telling Daoist!"

Zixu was grabbed by the collar and violently shaken by Jia Xu. He instinctively avoided eye contact, but because of this, he didn’t notice the fleeting hint of joy in Jia Xu’s eyes.

For someon...

Chapter 305: Dao Comprehension

As the imperial edict spread across the nineteen provinces, Li Hao returned to the Heavenly Gate Pass in Liangzhou.

The familiar walls and flags greeted him, but the news had not yet reached the stationed soldiers, who remained unaware of recent events.

Li Hao quietly returned to the small courtyard without alerting anyone.

Inside the courtyard, a young girl practicing swordsmanship sensed his presence and looked up with surprise and joy.

"Young master, you're b...

Chapter 304: The Threefold Divine General, Eternal Guardian Deity

...

Twenty layers, thirty layers...

Days later, as the techniques were recorded and assimilated, the number of Dao domains increased to forty-nine layers, adding thirty-four new Dao domains.

Each Dao domain's rules were distinct, some slightly similar, with differences that were subtle yet present.

These included many top-tier techniques of the royal family. Although the core top-tier techniques of the Divine General's residence were not included, everything els...

Chapter 303: Dao Treasury

Li Hao's remarkable achievements surpassed even those of the Li family's ancestors. As Li Tiangang looked at the young man, now admired by the masses like a bright star, a sense of confusion welled up in his heart.

Meanwhile, Li Hao was checking on Emperor Yu's injuries. After the six adversaries were slain, the Dao laws that had been afflicting Emperor Yu dissipated. His crushed arms and self-severed legs had already regenerated. Though he appeared somewhat weak, there were no s...

Chapter 302: The Saint's Will from the Immortal Gate

Li Hao quickly pursued the Void Origin Saint Son, tracking the traces of his Return to the Void technique, and with a single sword strike, he severed the path.

The Void Origin Saint Son was forced out of the void, shocked. This was the first time he had encountered such a situation.

But he quickly activated another law, redirecting himself through the Return to the Void technique towards a distant location. He noticed that Li Hao held deep affection and loyalty for the empe...

Chapter 301: Extermination, the Appearance of the Saint Son

Escape!

The young man in yellow and white robes suddenly used the Return to the Void technique to teleport away, heading straight towards the dazed old man, the Demon Sheep Elder, who had been standing on the battlefield's edge.

The elder had been watching the entire battle from the sidelines, unable to keep up with the rapid changes in the situation. From Li Hao's sudden attack and killing of the purple-robed youth, to his severe injuries from the combined efforts of the f...

Chapter 45: Battle of the Seventh-Rank Beasts

"It really can absorb blood."

"And by absorbing blood, this sword becomes even more sinister, with the blade growing sharper," Lin San murmured to himself as he observed the Demon Slayer Sword in his hand.

"Why didn’t I notice this before?" he wondered aloud, continuing to let the sword absorb all the blood from the bodies of the Flame Clucks.

"A blood-drinking sword... it doesn’t seem like a normal weapon. Are you a divine sword or a demonic sword?" Lin San mused...

Chapter 44: The Farce

At this moment, the crowd surrounding the scene quickly made way.

"Lord Fu," Andrew from the Earth Dragon Empire greeted with a smile as he saw Fu Xiaohu, the city lord of Star City, approaching.

"Lord Andrew," Fu Xiaohu responded with an ingratiating smile, his demeanor resembling that of a sycophant.

"This is just too pathetic," Ye Fan muttered, shocked by the sight.

"Lord Fu, these men just killed our Star City warriors and even beat an old man to death..." a...

Chapter 43: Warriors of the Earth Dragon Empire

“This sword… seems…”

The blacksmith widened his eyes, his gaze filled with astonishment. He could clearly feel that this sword was no ordinary weapon. Not only did it exude a chilling aura, but there was also an eerie, demonic energy about it. It was too strange.

The blacksmith had been crafting weapons for many years and had seen countless blades, but he had never encountered one quite like this.

“May I take a closer look?” the blacksmith couldn’t help ...

Chapter 42: I'm a Good Person

A warrior.

At this moment, Lin San clearly sensed the presence of warriors approaching from all around!

Without paying them any mind, Lin San used his Demon Slayer Sword to effortlessly slice the beast's body in half, quickly extracting a beast core from within.

"Is there something you need?" Lin San asked, glancing up to see several men with black masks covering their faces. They held long swords, their eyes filled with malice.

Bandits?

No, they didn't lo...

Chapter 41: Journey to Star City

"Understood, Master," Lin San replied with a slight nod.

To be honest, he had never had any real interest in Zhao Xiaoling. Seeing Lin San's nonchalant attitude, as if he didn't care about the matter at all, Zhao Xiaoling's expression darkened. He must be pretending!

"Good, then," Zhang Tiansha said. "The sect's grand competition is starting, and the living quarters will be reassigned. Get your things together. I’ll make sure you get priority for a decent spot at the foot...
