Hours passed, and soon turned into days.
There was little more than a day left before the Shadowfallen Burial Mountain closed.
During six days of searching, Aotian explored the entire cavern with his avatars and discovered many herbs, from Core-Tier—miraculously surviving—to Formation-Tier.
The number of skeletons was astonishing. By estimating the visible remains, Aotian ...

Gu Jian's murmur echoed through the cavern.
The enormous number of serpentine skeletons, many almost completely submerged in the lake of blood while others, larger or piled atop the bones, still remained clearly visible. Every element of that place painted a tragic scene.
Aotian did not know what had happened there, but whatever it was, it had been a massacre.

A satisfied smile bloomed on Feng Tianfei's lips.
"Heeh… farewell, Mu Luyin. Although I regret that you died so easily, and would have particularly preferred that you had suffered more, this wasn't so bad either. Even if, in the end, you found some interesting little friends, whose secrets I would've liked ...

Two tall and powerful immaculate white steeds pulled it, their hooves striking the ground and lifting bits of grass as they galloped at full speed.
Inside the carriage, King Harold and Queen Lillian peered through the gaps in the curtains with some anxiety.
The king looked at his wife, a little uneasy.<...

Taking a step forward, catching everyone by surprise, he suddenly performe...
2025-09-09 07:29:07 +0000 UTC View PostInside the vast cave, where the ground was formed by golden liquid, hundreds of stones were scattered across the surface.
A powerful spiritual energy was exuded by the lake, and the closer to the center, the smaller the stones became, but the greater the benefits of cultivating there.
Currently, sitting in lotus position on the central stone — the smallest of all — was a girl in...
2025-09-08 09:15:21 +0000 UTC View PostIn Aotian's mind, a flood of knowledge began to flow as if it had no end.
That was the feedback he received with Lei Yun's acceptance as a disciple of the sect, and also the definitive proof that his deduction had been correct: the boy was the reincarnation of a powerful cultivator.

'How… how is this possible?!'
He thought, his heart in turmoil.
'Even with all my knowledge, I can't find a single flaw in this technique… no, it's not that simple. There are ideas here I never imagined could be applied to techniques as simple as Qi Refinement and Foundation Establishm...

Lei Yun, as experienced as he was, found himself in a dilemma at that moment.
He could see sincerity in the man's eyes and, in fact, he was tempted by a te...

Aotian, in the form of Gu Jian, declared with a calm smile to the two, who were startled by the comment.
Mu Luyin immediately turned to Lei Yun, anxious.
"Brother Yun, did the evil-warding talisman fail?!" she asked in shock, rushing over to him, scanning h...

Before the terrified eleven ancestors, an old man in golden robes, with a gentle smile on his face, extended a friendly and casual greeting, in complete contrast to the aura of terror pressing down on everyone.
None of them dared to attack recklessly. After all, before such a powerful man, fighting was always the last option.
Among them, Ancestor Xu swallowed ha...

It was a large group, around 15 cultivators in the Nascent Soul realm, ranging from the early to mid stages, the apparent leader being a cultivator of the 6th level, not far from the late stage.
All the opponents wore black hooded cloaks, as if afraid to reveal their identities.

With Mu Luyin as chauffeur, the journey to the center of the Shadowfallen Burial Mountain was relatively quick, even with the avatars' occasional stops to hunt beasts.

As he acquired new Soul Search techniques, he synthesized them all. Even if a nearly perfect technique didn't emerge, each fusion refined the process, and the extraction coefficient of memories drew closer to the limit of 100%.
Still, the real delay was in digesting the obtai...

The little fairy flapped her wings rapidly like a dragonfly, her face troubled.
