Chapter 14: Overwhelming Numbers

Boom!

A surge of bright white soul power erupted from deep within Lin Qian’s body, radiating outward like the most dazzling star on the stage.

Crack!

Lin Qian bent his body slightly, and the tough blue steel tiles of the stage under his feet emitted a crisp cracking sound as they began to collapse.

Enveloped in his radiant white soul power, Lin Qian launched himself into the air like a cannonball. With a swift spin, he lashed out with a kick toward the scar-...

Chapter 13: The Young Emperor, Lin Qian

“Outrageous! Lin Qian, what do you think you’re doing?” Ye Nansheng shouted as he stood up from the Ye Family’s viewing platform, pointing angrily at Lin Qian, who was standing on the stage.

“This is the Ba Mountain Vientiane Trial! Lin Qian, don’t cause trouble here,” Ye Nanyi, who was sitting beside Ye Lin, also stood up anxiously.

Ye Nansheng was worried that Lin Qian, who had suddenly appeared on the stage with a corpse, might cause the Vientiane Sect di...

Chapter 12: Ba Mountain's Vientiane Trial

Ba Mountain City, Ye Family.

At this moment, the Ye Family estate, one of the three great families in Ba Mountain City, was bustling with activity and lively chatter. The reason for this excitement was naturally the upcoming Ba Mountain Vientiane Trial, which was to be hosted by the Ye Family.

The fact that the trial was being held at the Ye Family's estate came as a surprise to many in Ba Mountain City. They had grown accustomed to the trial always being hosted by...

Chapter 11: Your Emperor Has Returned

Just as Lin Qian was lost in thought, Zhao Long approached, dragging the limp form of Fu Yuxiang like a dead dog. His soul force surged, forcing the man into a kneeling position as he held him by the hair, ensuring he faced Lin Qian.

“Soul force? Has the in-game Qi Energy also transformed in this world?” The sight of Zhao Long’s soul force stirred a new possibility in Lin Qian’s mind.

Lin Qian then shifted his attention to the dazed Fu Yuxiang before him.

At...

Chapter 10: The Huaxia Empire

Before Lin Qian stood a thousand-strong army of heavily armored soldiers, all kneeling before him. Leading them was a general clad in gleaming silver armor, a black dragon emblazoned on his chest plate, and a crimson cape billowing in the wind behind him.

This Black Dragon Silver Armored General had a fair and handsome face, almost like a delicate young man, but his eyes were sharp, full of power and determination. A pair of neatly trimmed mustaches adorned his upper lip, and t...

Chapter 9: Unyielding Resolve

“What?” Lin Qian’s brow furrowed in confusion as he scanned his surroundings, but he didn’t see any extra figures.

The faint voice he heard earlier felt like a hallucination, possibly brought on by the fire poison coursing through his veins. Dismissing it, Lin Qian focused on the immediate and pressing danger before him.

By the time Lin Qian stood upright, panting heavily, the three figures who had emerged from the lake had already bypassed him and were now standi...

Chapter 8: A Grim Situation

As Lin Qian swiftly dodged, a powerful blade light slashed down right where he had been standing, cutting a deep trench into the solid ground.

If he hadn’t reacted in time, that strike would have cleaved him in two.

Lin Qian quickly got to his feet, unleashing his soul power to envelop his entire body as he glared at the entrance of the cave.

Standing there was a burly man with a bushy beard, dressed in a black-trimmed red robe, a blood-red greatsword resting on h...

Chapter 7: Pierced by a Single Spear

With the help of information from his sect and various signs in Bashan City, Lin Qian confirmed that the Li family had indeed colluded with the Overlord Blade Sect. However, the exact reason why the Li family frequently ventured into Bashan had not been fully uncovered.

The presence of a mole within the Overlord Blade Sect made it easy to obtain information about the collusion. However, the matter of the Li family's expeditions into Bashan was beyond the reach of the mole’s i...

Chapter 6: Ye Lin

By the riverside, Ye Lin stood in front of Lin Qian, her head lowered and her heart filled with anxiety.

In the Ye family, Ye Lin was closest to her cousin, Ye Xin. Every year when Ye Xin returned to the Ye family, she would bring Ye Lin interesting gifts.

One such gift was the Concealment Talisman, a talisman that, when used, could effectively hide the presence of a Soul Martialist. This was how Ye Lin had managed to follow Zhao Qiang and Zhao Jian without being detected...

Chapter 5: The Sacred Soul Crystal

Lin Qian had not expected that his parents would leave him a letter, and he was even more surprised by the web-like pattern of blood-red lines covering the envelope.

The blood-red lines on the envelope were as fine as hair, densely wrapping around it.

Lin Qian understood that Ye Nanxin had carefully preserved this letter without attempting to open it, ever since he received it from Lin Qian's parents. This gesture spoke volumes about Ye Nanxin’s integrity.

Lin Qia...

Chapter 4: A Letter from His Parents

In the front hall of the Ye Mansion, all the direct descendants of the Ye family were gathered for breakfast.

Silence reigned during the meal, with only the clinking of chopsticks and bowls breaking the quiet.

After breakfast, the servants swiftly cleared the table, and Ye Nanxin, who was seated at the head, cleared his throat to draw the attention of everyone present.

However, the members of the Ye family still occasionally cast glances at Lin Qian, who was seated ...

Chapter 3: A Bundle of Letters

Inside the bedroom, Lin Qian lay sprawled out on the bed, a look of pure contentment on his face. "This familiar scent... When I go back to the Myriad Image Sect, should I bring this bed with me?"

There was an old saying back in his hometown on Earth: "A golden nest or a silver nest can't compare to your own doghouse."

Lin Qian had lived in this courtyard for twelve years.

"My future father-in-law is really good to me. They say a son-in-law is like half a son, but h...

Chapter 2: The Real Inspector

"Bashan City is controlled by three families. There's no need to mention the Ye family in the south; I'm well aware of them. Zhao Qiang, how about the City Lord's Bai family?" Lin Qian stepped forward, helping the two men up simultaneously as he inquired.

"The Bai family shows no irregularities, just as Brother Bai guaranteed. Moreover, we’ve gathered more information from the City Lord himself," responded the Myriad Image Sect disciple on the left.

Lin Qian raised an e...

Chapter 1: The Return of the Wanderer

Bashan City, Ye Mansion.

"Have you heard? That cheap son-in-law of our family head has returned."

"You mean the one engaged to the young lady since childhood? What kind of person is he? Does he even deserve our Miss Ye?"

"What can we do? The family head likes him! He left without a word four years ago, and now that he sees Miss Ye has joined the Divine Sword Sect, he wants to come back?"

"A toad lusting after a swan! Does he even know who he is?"

...

Chapter 60: The Imperial Inspector

"Jiao Dragon!"

Seeing the jiao dragon's corpse with its head shattered in the forest, both men were stunned.

They still had plenty of precious materials they had harvested from the previous black jiao, including the inner core that could enhance their power, and other materials like reverse scales, jiao teeth, and sharp claws for weapon crafting.

Due to collecting these materials, they had been delayed for a while. They didn't expect to find another one here?!

T...

Chapter 59: Saint Palace

"What?!"

Just as Li Fu was about to assist, he saw the black jiao suddenly plummet to the ground, leaving him stunned.

Quickly, he scanned his surroundings, noting the flash of black light from before. Someone had assisted them!

Li Fu, with his spirit wandering ability, scanned the area.

His exceptional spirit cultivation technique allowed him to project his spirit for eighteen miles!

Although Li Fu was not a direct descendant of the Li family, he had earn...

Chapter 58: Slaying the Jiao Thirty Miles Away

"He... he... he..."

Yu Wei couldn't even bother with the tea he had just spit onto the snack plate. He pointed to the spot where Li Hao had disappeared, his eyes bulging as he stuttered, trying to speak.

"The... the man is gone?!"

Du Qiuyue, equally shocked, stood up abruptly, her face filled with disbelief. "Where did he go?"

Beside them, Ren Qianqian was stunned. Her eyes quickly scanned the surroundings with great care, but she couldn't find any trace of Li H...

Chapter 57: Ambush

As dusk approached, Li Hao and his companions rode along the official road, occasionally passing by tea stalls and small vendors set up by the roadside, providing weary travelers a place to rest.

They encountered a few escort agency teams transporting goods, spirited martial artists setting out to slay demons, and diligent farmers tending their fields or small village settlements along the way.

The road was lined with tall, straight cypress trees, leading straight to the bl...

Chapter 56: Entering the Jianghu

"Hao-ge, which task are you going to choose?" Li Yuanzhao asked eagerly after scanning the task list, clearly wanting to accompany Li Hao for mutual support.

"I'm choosing Qizhou," Li Hao replied, his eyes flickering with a hint of coldness.

Li Yuanzhao glanced at the task, nodded, and said, "Then I'll choose it too."

"You're both going to Qizhou?" Du Qiuyue asked, looking at the list before quickly adding, "Can I join you? I'll go there too."

"And me, I'll go a...

Chapter 55: Demon Slaying in Qizhou

Song Yueyao shook her head slightly, not answering.

She didn't have an answer herself.

The Fengshan Mie River was incredibly challenging. If it was a disciple from the Black and White Palace, it was possible, but an Outer Court disciple? Unless they had already reached the Spirit Continuation Realm.

The black-robed scholar was a genuine Spirit Continuation Realm expert, and his spirit was exceptionally fierce, like facing two Spirit Continuation masters.

The Out...

Chapter 54: Known Throughout the World

In the southern Nine Peaks Mountain Range, at the Sword Hut.

This mountain range was famous across the land, with many swordsmen dreaming of ascending to its summit to see its majestic peaks. However, this imagined holy land was actually quite humble.

At the grassy, verdant mountaintop, inside a simple hut that resembled a cattle shed, sat Jian Wudao. The interior of the hut was also quite basic: a crude desk and several stacks of books.

The desk was rough, appearing ...

Chapter 53: Behind the Brilliance

The ground around him started to tremble gently.

Li Hao stood still, looking around and noticing that the distant, broken mountains and the blood-red sky seemed to be gradually fading.

Had he cleared the level? Was this Mie River war realm about to disappear?!

Li Hao was dumbfounded. Everything happened too quickly for him to react.

Seeing the ground sink and the small thatched hut he was in about to collapse from the shaking, Li Hao quickly stepped out and then blurre...

Chapter 52: Merit Board

Li Hao summoned his spirit. A golden, radiant avatar flew out from the top of his head, patrolling the skies.

Soon, Li Hao found two wandering children at the edge of the village.

Without moving his body, his spirit dove down, stirring up dust and pebbles from the ground, piercing through the two remaining stragglers.

Mie River completion: 90%.

His spirit returned, and Li Hao took a step forward, traveling fifteen miles in a blink, appearing next to the black-ro...

Chapter 51: Name of the War Realm

Li Hao walked along the damp, stony path for several miles until he arrived at another waterfall and deep pool.

"Strange, I thought I heard the sound of a flute."

Li Hao looked around, puzzled. Could it have been a figment of his imagination?

Ahead, the waterfall cascaded like a curtain. However, through the gaps in the water, he could vaguely see a small temple.

Surprised, Li Hao's figure blurred. He executed the pinnacle level of the White Phoenix Movement Tec...

Chapter 50: A Leisurely Half-Day

After half a month of getting to know each other, the fifty people in Jia Academy were now familiar with each other, at least knowing each other's names.

"Yuanzhao, your Divine General's mansion is really impressive. Even as new students, you're almost taking up the top ten spots," Du Yueqiu, a slim girl sitting on the grass, sighed to Li Yuanzhao.

She was an old student, eighteen years old, at the peak of her youth, but already considered a "veteran" in Jia Academy. Before...

Chapter 49: The Perilous River Battlefield

Hearing this, Li Hao also became more interested and looked at the speaker.

"The latter four realms have transcended the mundane world," Su Yehua said. "These realms are not divided into ten levels. For example, the 'Fifteen Li' realm—why is it named so? Because in this realm, practitioners cultivate the Art of Object Manipulation. They not only travel through the heavens and earth with their spirit but can also manipulate their bodies to fly across the skies!"

"One breat...

Chapter 48: The Limit

The Eight Realms of Martial Arts. Although everyone present was familiar with the names of these realms, their understanding of the intricacies of each realm varied due to their different family backgrounds.

"The first four realms have ten levels each. Depending on the cultivation methods practiced, the gap between a top-tier genius and an ordinary martial artist within the same realm can be as vast as the heavens and the earth," Su Yehua explained the distinctions between the fo...

Chapter 47: The Eight Realms of Martial Arts

When Li Hao and Li Yuanzhao returned to the foot of the mountain, the square was already lit with bright lamps. Though night had fallen, the place remained lively, with no decrease in the number of people. This reminded Li Hao of the night markets from his previous life. As he inhaled gently, the aroma of grilled meat wafted through the cool night breeze, instantly whetting his appetite.

"Let's go find something to eat."

On the Ascension Gate stairs, talents from various pr...

Chapter 46: Entering the Top Class

"Let's go and give it a try too," Li Yun suddenly said to his sister beside him in front of the Wind-Cutting Fist stone tablet.

Li Zhining's eyes shifted slightly, and she put away her slightly moving hands, nodding her head.

She had already grasped some of the essence and felt she had reached the entry level, but she didn't immediately go for the assessment and instead waited.

She was waiting for her brother to grasp it as well.

Ever since she became aware, she...

Chapter 45: Turning the Tables

The two exchanged glances, their expressions slightly serious.

As instructors at the academy, how could they lead students to cheat?

No, no, not even if you're a young master from the God General's Mansion—unless you sent a gift... Wait, what gift? Even gifts won't do unless you're a prince...

While their minds raced, trying to figure out how to politely refuse the young man, Li Hao already replied to Shen Yunqing's question:

"Oh, the martial art? I already kn...
