“Alright, let's head inside first,” Zhao Xing said, restraining his anger for the moment. After all, there might be a reasonable explanation. Losing his temper right away would make him seem petty as the newly appointed superior.
Zhang Zhong, Jiang Xi, and He Fengnian accompanied Zhao Xing into the Shennong Office.
The moment they stepped through the gate, Zhao Xing frowned and looked up at the sky.
Snow was gently falling into the office compound.

The Swordfish Airship passed over the Canglan River, and the weather became noticeably chaotic.
North of the river, in Anping Prefecture, the season had already passed Awakening of Insects; the land was slightly green, and spring was clearly in the air.
However, after crossing the river, the landscape was still blanketed in snow, with a world dressed in white.
Standing outside the Airship, Zhao Xing felt the shift in the weather, as though he had stepped into the Grea...

"The second reason is the infiltration of foreign beliefs!"
"Among the 52 temples, seven of them depict beasts, either with wings or covered in scales."
"In the Great Zhou, while some official Yin spirit carvings might include auspicious beasts as decorations, these features are only ever secondary. Only the Southern Barbarian tribes would use such imagery as the main focus of their worship."
"If left unchecked, should the barbarians ever cross the Canglan River, such...

The Swordfish Airship soared towards Anping Prefecture. Since it bordered Datong Prefecture, one day’s travel was enough with the speed of the vessel.
Zhao Xing stepped out to get some fresh air while Long Xiao focused on steering the vessel.
A day was more than enough for someone as simple-minded as Long Xiao to shake off the melancholy of recent events. Now, he had grown talkative again. “Why does it keep raining? I can’t even see clearly! Can’t you stop the rain?...

With a single sweep of his golden sword, Yang An instantly executed 1,366 criminals, and then he and Jia Pu flew away.
The Inspectorate fell silent.
Long Xiao remained at Zhao Xing's side, while Chen Shijie simply nodded to Zhao Xing before quietly leaving.
The first task was now complete. After spending a night resting at the Inspectorate, Zhao Xing set out the next day.
While aboard the Swordfish Airship, he used the Dream Storage Technique to reflect on how h...

As these flames burst forth, the entire sky turned crimson, and the surrounding temperature rapidly soared.

Sima Qi gripped Ye Fan tightly, speaking with excitement.
Ye Fan ignored Sima Qi's words and, with a thought, accessed the system panel.
"The next skill requires 30 billion evolution points."
"Still such a large amount,"
Ye Fan muttered helplessly.
He had originally wanted to learn a new skill earlier, but he hadn't expected that the next skill would demand a whopping 30 billion evolution points!

A sword spirit capable of forming an energy body and manifesting.
This was only possible with divine-grade weapons!

The surrounding demons, seeing Sima Qi holding the sword, shouted loudly.

Sima Qi heard the demons' pleas and snorted coldly.

He glanced at the demons, then, in an instant, swung Ye Fan, the sword in his hand, in a horizontal slash.
Whoosh—
As the sword slashed through the air, a terrifying wave of sword energy erupted.

As Ye Fan pondered, he started to feel a headache coming on.
"I don't even know how to evolve now."
"Could it be that learning the second skill is the only way to upgrade to a two-star Divine Sword?"
Ye Fan speculated, murmuring to himself.
But for now, he was trapped inside the Primordial Shield, with no way to escape.
What should he do next?
"Forget it, let’s first see where this so-called Demon-Sealing Tower is,"
Ye Fan said aloud.

Rhett smiled and said, "Help me with something first, and I’ll tell you."
