"You brat, how dare you call me a country bumpkin?" Nan Xin pointed at Lin Qian, his voice filled with disbelief and fury.
Lin Qian glanced at Nan Xin and curled his lips into a slight smile. "Heh."
Then, without another word, Lin Qian turned away from Nan Xin, dismissing him entirely. With a wave of his hand, he retrieved a bed draped with curtains from within the hidden space of the Huaxia Empire, carefully placing Ye Xin onto it and pulling the curtains down.
As th...

"Ah!" The sudden voice from the horned alien corpse startled Ye Xin, causing her to scream and step back quickly, taking refuge beside Lin Qian, who still had his eyes closed.
The fact that the corpse suddenly spoke also surprised Nan Xin. He hastily retreated into the midst of the undead army, only relaxing once he was safely among them.
Once surrounded by the undead, Nan Xin glanced at the horned alien corpse with suspicion. "You haven’t stirred for countless years, yet...

In the end, Ye Xin could only watch helplessly as the purple phantom entered Lin Qian's body, unable to do anything to stop it.
Bang!
As the phantom merged into Lin Qian, Ye Xin noticed that the purple flames in Nan Xin's hollow eyes extinguished, and his body collapsed to the ground.
She hurried to Lin Qian's side, only to find that his once-bright eyes had now dimmed, devoid of any light.
"What should I do? What should I do now?" Standing in front of Lin Qian'...

“Not willing?” Lin Qian’s words stunned Nan Xin. For a moment, he was at a loss.
He couldn’t comprehend why Lin Qian would refuse. Clearly, the young man was so greedy, and faced with the massive treasury of the Dangyuan Sect, why would he decline? What could possibly make him unwilling now?
“Could it be that you have some concerns?” Nan Xin pondered for a moment, calming himself before speaking again. “An individual who has suffered so much is merely asking...

As Lin Qian followed Nan Xin deeper underground, the sloping tunnel gradually widened, eventually opening up into a vast space. The further they descended, the more spacious it became, until finally, the path leveled out and a faint light appeared ahead, growing brighter with each step.
After a while, the space ahead became fully illuminated, revealing the source of the light. Ye Xin, walking beside Lin Qian, gasped in surprise as she took in the scene.
They found themsel...

Boom!
At close range, the sword and claw collided instantly.
The vast power of the heavens flowed through the sword's edge like a torrent, tearing through and surging forward.
The unavoidable Dao resonance was cut off by the Longxiao Sword. The black-robed man had thought that a mere Tianren Realm sword strike wouldn't stand a chance and would be easily crushed. However, at the moment of contact, the immense power emanating from the sword nearly made him lose his bala...

Behind Song Qiumo, Li Hao and Feng Lao also appeared.
Hearing the words of the Daoist-robed elder, Li Hao immediately understood that this elder was the Dragon Lord from the Dragon Mountain Daoist Sect.
"Hmph, I expected you might hide in the shadows and try to lure us, but I didn't think you'd really stay hidden. For this human boy, is it worth it?" The golden-haired, burly elder's eyes were cold. He had sought out the Dragon Lord to deal with this unexpected situation.

As the celestial qi entered his body, every pore of Li Hao's body emitted countless rays of light, as if a blazing sun was swallowed within him.
The snow around him evaporated rapidly.

As his body transformed, so did his true energy, including his divine soul, which ascended beyond, condensing into a golden infant form before maturing back...

Upon receiving the Saint Heart Talisman, Li Hao once again thanked Chu Jiuyue and asked him to convey his gratitude to the Emperor.
His impression of the most supreme figure of the Dayu Dynasty remained from his infancy, the first sight upon his arrival—a towering, robust figure seated on a dragon throne, exuding an aura of dominion over mountains and rivers, with a commanding presence over all beings.
It seemed a figure to be revered from afar, untouchable and inviolable...

"Achoo!" In the camp of Cangya City within Tianmen Pass, Liangzhou.
Inside a firewood room covered in snow, Feng Boping was adding new firewood when he suddenly sneezed, nearly extinguishing the flames in the stove.
He rubbed his nose, puzzled, and muttered, "Why did my nose suddenly itch? Is someone talking about me?"
Nearby, Li Hao was kneading dough. Once it was ready, he placed it on another warm stone to ferment.
He then called for the Longxiao Sword, using...

Hearing Li Muxiu's words, the others in the room reacted subtly, some glancing at Li Tiangang, others lowering their heads in silence.
Li Tiangang did not react to Li Muxiu's taunts; he remained silent.
Li Muxiu, somewhat surprised by this, had expected his words to provoke an angry outburst.
Had he regretted it?
A thought struck him just as he heard He Jianlan speak, "Second Uncle, you should read this letter from Xuanli."

As Li Hao's sword light shot out, a furious voice suddenly echoed through the void.
Immediately, a golden feather shot through the air, sudden and swift like lightning.
By the time Li Hao saw it, it was already about to pierce his eye, mere inches from his face.
There's no way to block it! Li Hao's pupils contracted, his blood seemed to freeze. In that moment, death loomed over him, a shadow he had never felt so clearly.

Chen Xi's way of thinking seemed remarkable to Li You, Liu Bei, and others. With such a system in place, one could simply glance at a person's household registration and know everything about them. How convenient! "Enough talk for now," Chen Xi said, waving his hand dismissively. "Zijing will eventually hand over a complete plan to Lord Xuande. Right now, we need to focus on feeding this kid and having him lead us to where the stray children gather. Let's capture them all first."

Chen Xi couldn't guarantee that the textbooks he chose were the best, but he was confident that they were far superior to those chosen by others of his time. Sometimes, the wisdom accumulated over time and the broader perspective were enough to surpass most scholars.

Chen Xi's words once again left Liu Bei baffled. However, Liu Bei had a good habit—if he didn’t understand something, he wouldn’t pretend to. When it came to those he trusted, he was willing to hand over full authority to them to solve the issue. As long as it was resolved in the end, that was all that mattered.

He had already succeeded in convincing Liu Bei; all he needed to do was continue along this line of reasoning, and success was inevitable. Liu Bei was already beginning to a...
