A short while ago, Ji Xian ended his simulations and his body stirred. Slowly opening his eyes, a light flashed through them before quickly fading away.
While rubbing his temples, he looked at the single rune in front of him that was the cause of the formation, and a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.
This thing isn’t a rune. It’s something entirely different. This thing can draw in Heaven and Earth's True Essence to create a naturally formed formation. I’m almo...

With a thoughtful expression, Ji Xian silently muttered to himself, “Recreating this rune will allow me to work from the ground up and build my knowledge on it. From there, finding the solution would be much easier.”
“Hmm, lets' just do it."
With this thought, he no longer hesitated. He sent a strand of spiritual sense to Xia Lihua, informing her that he will need some time to solve the formation before putting his focus on the simulations.
At a distance away from him,...

After descending more than nineteen thousand meters, the trio stopped.
This depth was making Xiao Yueyin feel uncomfortable. Although it was still manageable now, the amount of True Essence she was using would eventually drain her by the end of the day.
Although the ocean contains Heaven and Earth Essence, the water and pressure make it too hard to properly absorb it so Xiao Yueyin was using more True Essence than she was absorbing.
Ji Xian and Xia Lihua had a thin layer of ...

In an endless ocean, two tall figures of a man and woman floated in the sky standing shoulder to shoulder.
The man had long black hair that fell to his waist, but it was brushed forward and weirdly styled in a way to cover most of his eyes. His nose and mouth were covered by a cloth that matched his clean black robe. He was wrapped in an aura of mystery.
The woman next to him was a head shorter, she wore a white dress that contrast her long black hair. Her silver eyes reflect the ...

As Ji Xian silently observe the battle between Yue Li and Luo Guangting in a daze, countless simulations were taking place in his mind.
The quality of their True Essence, the path it takes as it course through their body, the execution of their Divine Arts, and the way their muscles contract. The more Ji Xian observes the more information he obtains.
Although his main focus was on Yue Li, he did not neglect Lou Guangting.
Inside his mind, a figure sat crossed-legged in a lar...

Ji Xian looked at the books with satisfaction.
The three books were unique and he hasn’t come across any other like them.
The Solitude Art uses one’s emotion to cultivate. The stronger the emotion, the better. Unfortunately, this comes with a downside as it will affect the personality of one who chooses to cultivate this method. Ji Xian guessed based on the name that the City Lord cultivate this method.
The Core Devouring Method requires you to devour beast cores. This w...

Dark crimson hair, golden flame symbol, red eyes with innocent features. Who else could it be but Hong Tian? She stood there alone. Her existence seemed incompatible with this world. There was something about her that separated her from everyone else.
“You don’t seem surprised to see me.” She said.
Ji Xian laughed, “Of course not, I’ve always been popular with girls, besides, you stared at me so hard when we first met, I knew you'll turn up eventually.”

An hour later.
Xiao Yueyin and Guo Xinyi left along with the others, returning to their disciples. The colosseum has become packed with people with high anticipation for the competition. For those that were unable to obtain a seat, there was a large screen outside the colosseum that was powered by a couple of runes. It broadcasted the scenes inside.
The burly man, Senior Lin was also present, next to him was Lin Roulan who was eagerly looking everywhere with curiosity.

Guo Xinyi’s comment caused a couple of people in the hall to quietly snicker while the rest watched on with amusement.
“Hmph!” Huang Yi didn’t retort.
He held his head high and his eyes remain sharp and arrogant. He may have lost to Xiao Yueyin once before, but he was confident he will stand above her one day.
The people in the hall nodded with some admiration. Huang Yi did not let his defeat hinder him but rather, became motivated by it instead.
Although he ca...

After settling down, Guo Xinyi approached Xia Lihua and explained that Xiao Yueyin will be staying with them til the end of the All Desolate Competition.
This was without a doubt an odd decision. What about her Sect disciples? Who's watching over them?
But this was unrelated to Xia Lihua so she only gave a little nod.
Earlier. After Guo Xinyi took Lin Roulan home, Xiao Yueyin found her and expressed that she wanted to stay in her room. Guo Xinyi was naturally hesitant.

Xiao Yueyin dropped down to her knees breathing heavily, and droplets of sweat dripped down onto the floor from her face. Although she felt exhausted, she was also excited. She can feel her will has broken through!
The Will or the Dao Heart represents the declaration of a Cultivator's mentality to pursue cultivation. A strong will is crucial in the Life Destruction Realm.
For if you wish to break through Life Destruction, you'll need to forcefully destroy your Crystalize Dan...

The barrier around Xia Lihua silently dissipated, revealing her full figure. She slowly opened her eyes and scanned everyone in the room.
She looked at Ji Xian with a small smile, although she was cultivating, she was still aware of what was happening in her surroundings so she saw his mischievous behavior.
She glanced over at Lin Roulan and Guo Xinyi before her gaze met Xiao Yueyin.

“Ardent Yin Sect..?” Xiao Yueyin muttered.
She took out another small tablet, this one being made of wood. She infused it with her Essence and immediately after, a voice sounded in her head again.
“Yueyin! Are you finally out of seclusion?”
This voice belonged to Guo Xinyi!
“Yes, I am leading the Sect disciples this time to attend the All Desolate Competition.” Said Xiao Yueyin.

The East Solitude Inn was a distance away from the city gates. But even so, he was able to see everything clearly.
Towards the entrance into the city, a dozen people in white robes with swords tied to their backs jumped from their flying swords and landed gently on the ground. The aura they gave off was similar to a sheathed sword waiting to strike. These people are from the...

Ji Xian shook his head, “I’m not denying that. But haven't you noticed, that compared to Qi Cultivation, Body Cultivation is less comprehensive?”
“What do you mean?” She asked.
“Qi Cultivation has existed for so long at this point that no one can even remember who and when it was created. Era after era, it has been polished and im...

Hong Tian didn't follow up with another bid and the book went to Xia Lihua. The auction ended and Lin Caihong personally brought the item to their room. She glanced around after entering and spotted Lin Roulan. She gave the little girl an unhappy look, inwardly promising to reprimand her later.
Next, she looked at Xia Lihua. Seeing this breathtaking young woman, the feeling of inferiority immediately hits her like a wave. Those silver eyes were so radiant and dazzling that she found it ...

On the roof of East Solitude Inn, overlooking the city, Ji Xian was lying down casually using his arms as a pillow with his eyes half closed while Xia Lihua was standing next to him.
The sky had darkened and there was no sign of a moon. The myriad stars hung above illuminating the island. The two shared the spectacle as they appreciate the view in silence.

He can feel the curiosity of the ladies of the Ardent Yin Sect.

A clear golden dome covered the entire island deterring anyone who wants to enter by air. The only entry to the city is the gates that stand almost two stories high.
