Inside Ye Mo’s residence.
“Good morning, Boss!”
“Qing Wu You has seen Boss Yin!”
Two boys and an old servant entered Yin’s courtyard first thing in the morning.
As members of her Church, Ye Zhihao and Qing Wu You kneeled on the floorboards, paying respect to their boss akin to a disciple meeting his master, while Xiao Ku merely cupped his hands and made himself scarce, merely standing on one corner to wait for any order. The old servant seemed to be displeased to find his young master kneeling before a little girl, but he was not showing anything on the surface. Only Yin, who had a strong soul, could capture a flash of his true thoughts.

107 - Future Profession? World Teacher!“Huh? How can a baby cultivate?”Though it was the old servant who voiced this question, it was obvious from their expressions that both Ye Zhihao and Qing Wu You also shared this sentiment. After all, Yin’s claim was against the common knowledge shared by everyone in this world.‘Aish. The people of this world are lacking in education. Don’t tell me my future profession is to become the teacher of the world?’ The more she thought about it, the wider the smile on her face grew. ‘Eh. The Great Teacher Yin? Hmm. Awesome Teacher Yin? World Teacher Yin? The title does not sound too bad.’Yin pulled her hands and clasped them behind her, taking a pose of a sage. “Do you know what prena

All she needed to do was look at the flow of qi through Ye Zhihao’s meridians, and she already got the gist of the technique. Even though only several seconds had passed, she could already see the flaws of Ye Zhihao’s cultivation.As she said mentioned earlier, breathing in itself was a form of cultivation, and from what she could see, this so-called Basic Meditation Technique was no

Within a week, I can train him to strengthen his body to the peak of the Body Washing Realm, but to boost his comprehension, a strong stable soul is needed. I do not even know when we can leave Leaf City, much less explore this world to find the fragments of his soul. I can complement his training with soul-related treasures and elixirs to support, but this trashy breathing exercise has to be thrown away.‘What elementary meditation technique will suit Hao’er?’“Do I need to do anything else, Boss?” the young boy asked as he scratched his head. He was starting to feel unc

When he saw his servant look back at him with a nod, Qing Wu You stared at his thin wrists and his skinny arms.‘Is my first task to increase my appetite? Is it because I look smaller than my age? Does Boss want me to build up my body first? Should I ask my maids to make more rice…?’Yin noticed the weird expression on the young boy’s pretty face that immediately returned to normal in a blink of an eye. Though both Xiao Ku and Qing Wu You were trained by the imperial household on how to maintain neutral appearance in front of people, Yin’

A hundred laps for an ordinary disciple in a field where someone of his age would normally pass out after running less than twenty laps? Were they supposed to run for at least two, no, three days nonstop? Would they even achieve their goals without crawling their way to the end? W-Was Yin evil incarnate from hell? Well, that’s a moral question for Ye Zhihao and Qing Wu You to later understand… that they hadn’t truly known what evil and hell truly was. Looking at the back of their boss as she walked away, the two boys could only swallow their despair and grit their teeth. Since each of them came to know Yin due t

Civilizations were far and few in between, and the powerhouses of that time mostly moved either on their own or in small groups. The gates between worlds were yet to be formed, and travel between the countless planes, each filled with varying overlords, mythical creatures and heavenly treasures, was uncomplicated.It was a time of conflict and bloodshed. Chaos ruled each life, and disorder was the primary law of survival. Various ancient clans and creatures with powerful bloodlines existed and co-mingled together in fierce competition, and the strong trampled over the weak

Although it was still early in the morning, as it was the second day of the grand banquet and as one of the elites of the Battle Court, the elegant lady was busy with her patrol duties when one of the disciples came to inform her that the Wu Family had paid a visit to the Tenth Elder’s residence. Despite her heroic appearance, her expression was both gentle and joyful like that of a little girl’s as she immediately excused herself from her duties.“Brother!”“Xuan’er!”

Brother need not worry.”Wu Xuan’er and Ye Hua were not childhood sweethearts. As two younger generation geniuses, the two of them grew up competing with each other and were in fact rivals in swordsmanship.Years ago, the one who was closest to Ye Hua was in fact Wu Anjian. As powerhouses of Leaf City, there had been many times where they needed to team up to clean the savage beasts lingering in the forest bordering Leaf City and nearby Sunroot City. Ye Hua was the strongest disciple under Ye Mo’s Battle Court, and thus, despite being only in the Founda

Scholar Rai held the ancient scroll between two calloused fingers, studying the faded ink with narrowed eyes. The papyrus was brown with age, the content written in a verbose and grand manner, as was usually the case with writings from hundreds of years ago. Its importance could not be translated into words. In fact, it surprised him that his lord father managed to keep these imperial treasures away from the capital.It had taken him twice the usual time to understand the runes. He found himself impressively overwhelmed not only by the sheer historic importance of these documents, but also because the prophecies spoke of the expiration of the bloods of the Old.He feared that the first of the visions written have come into passing.The scrolls he found were written by the last of the true prophets, during a time of historic darkness, the Legaliath Cross, back when magic was free to be harnessed by every man and woman and child.

"You find this funny, Silver?" This was the first time that Lakas had directly addressed her in a conversation. She could not help but shudder at the slight amusement that colored his normally stern voice. "He could have killed you."Her smile widened.Lakas almost mirrored her expression, but then when he realized that he had spectators in the form of the other three girls inside her cage, he erased any trace of emotion from his face. "The four of you are currently part of the most prized collection of the emperor, but let me warn you. Not all warriors in this camp think the same as I do. You girls are precious, but you are replaceable. Think before you act."As soon as he left, the oldest of the girls, a beauty with curly flaxen hair and foliage green eyes scooted close to her. It was the first time anyone attempted to communicate with her. Most of the time, she was simply left alone in her corner of the cage.

The survivors were placed in metal cages where the heathens could openly leer at them, appreciating the goods before they were sold. The young warrior called Lakas looked incredibly silly with parchment and quill in his bloody hands, and his annoyed look did not escape her when he was tasked to make an inventory of the slaves."Name?"While the prisoners around her sobbed and wailed for their losses, Enna merely tried to make herself small in a corner. She never spoke. She never raised her head.Lakas snatched her chin. He was scowling. "Name?"When she refused to answer, the bald man behind Lakas growled before backhanding her. "Stupid girl! Tell us your name so that we can be done with this sham and leave!"Elbows shaking, she sat up, gazing at them with tired silvery eyes. Still, she did not open her mouth."You – "Lakas stopped the man with a wave. "Drop it. I will simply write Silver."The man smirked.

*She woke up to a strangled sound akin to an injured animal.Crying.Someone was crying.As the sound grew louder, she stirred, slowly, groaning due to the escalating pain at the base of her skull. Opening her eyes, she saw bloody bodies around her. Bile rose, and she emptied the contents of her stomach into the scarlet snow. After a few fuzzy seconds, she realized with relief that most of the bodies around her appeared to be moving. Bloody, but alive. She profusely thanked the good Spirits that there were people who still lived, despite the nagging thought that most of them would have preferred to have died along with their dignity and families.Her arms and feet were bound. Bound with thick ropes. She tried to stretch her legs, grasping too late that she was merely a stride away from the big fire that her captors made.She flinched from the pain.It was the same kind of burning pain that paralyzed her before she blacked out.It was also her first memory.

The heathens burned the temples. They attacked the farms. They destroyed everything from tiny peasant homes to historical monuments more than hundreds of years old. People who resisted died. People who surrendered died. The snow-clad village of Cardia was stained red. Blood of men. Blood of women. Blood of children.The enemy's arrival was silent; their attack sudden. The sleepy spell brought by winter on the border village was broken by animalistic screams of pain. Cries of people burning were everywhere. There were shrieks of villagers dying. By midnight, half of Cardian population was slain mercilessly by the bronze-skinned men covered in wolf pelts.The invaders relished the sight of the pale people bleeding, enjoying every slash of sword and arrow released as the village burned. They meant to annihilate every Northerner. They were humans on bloodlust — hungry predators on the hunt.They proudly called themselves the sons of Summer.

Even if the Mind Forgets, the Soul Remembers (3)A fair-skinned human girl no taller than the height of his waist, wearing a satin robe that was neither stained by blood or mud. Big eyes on a small face, perfectly arranged black hair in a style of braided bun, delicately balanced features that indicated she would surely grow into a gorgeous young lady given a few years.Her adorable appearance made one have an urge to pinch her chubby cheeks, and if there were any females around, Ye Mo felt that they would fawn over how the little girl looked like a beautiful living, breathing doll.‘And it’s not a sight that should be seen in the middle of a battlefield.’Ye Mo tried to open his mouth to say something, but he remained unable to utter even a single word.‘Dangerous.’It didn’t make sense, but that was what his intuition was telling Ye Mo. His body wasn’t responding—there was no flight impulse, no, there wasn’t even an attempt to fight against the girl, even if it’s a last act of survi

She felt like staying would give her a huge headache, but she was tied up by all the connections she made in this city.The Qing Blessed Lands had officially entered the state of war.Though communication was crippled, Little Yin was able to overhear the intelligence gathered by the hidden experts brought by the Purple Plumed General.Immortal Wuwei’s timely arrival managed to save Ye Sect and the entire Leaf City, but that wasn’t the same with the other cities.

The man’s eyes were looking at the people in the room as if they were people he had not seen for a long time. There was recognition in his gaze, as well as a kind of dissonance. “Huh? Yeah…yeah…” After staying unconscious for days and almost crossing the fine line of life and death, it was reasonable for Ye Mo to be in a daze, and everyone thought so as well. But Ye Hua’s intuition was telling him that his uncle was not just confused, but actually not in a normal state of mind. However, he decided to stay quiet. Because he felt that Little Yin had something to do with this. The young man’s eyes glanced in the direction of the little girl, who brought them all towards the room saying that Ye Mo should be waking up soon. Ye Hua remembered that incident several days ago, that eerie darkness that made his soul tremble. A power that could oppose n

Confusion was the only thing he could feel aside from the head-splitting pain, though he was trying to calm himself and follow the words of the little girl to embrace his memories.‘Since I died, shouldn’t I undergo samsara? Why am I seeing the memories of my former reincarnations?’What happened to him before he appeared and walked around that endless darkness?No, wait, what was he doing before the little girl appeared?He was swinging his sword against—The little girl frowned when she saw the images swimming inside his mind.“Outers.”Gaaaasp!She reached out her small chubby hands and touched the crown of his head, and she channeled her spiritual energy inside his body, focusing it on erasing those images that did not belong to him or to this era.“You are in so much pain because you took a peek at
