The young man in Zhi Ruo’s arms was definitely not breathing. Even his heart was not beating, and if one were to insert qi into his meridians, one would definitely be unable to let his qi run freely around his body. No vital signs, the body’s meridians had stagnated…
Dead.
If it were any other person, they would definitely proclaim Ye Mo dead.
Zhi Ruo was trying hard to keep her tears in check as she held his body. Her gaze was desperate. She wanted the immortal in front of her to tell her the opposite of what her rational side was saying. She wanted to believe that Ye Mo could still be revived. It was as if she was saying not a tear of hers should be shed, or else that would put the final nail in the coffin.

She had witnessed the last attack of the demonic general, and she had seen him breathe his last. No matter how much she willed for the opposite to be true, when even an immortal like Wuwei himself had confirmed it, there was no denying the truth now.Ye Mo was dead.Zhi Ruo could not wrap her head around that fact, even though she was holding his ice cold corpse in her arms.“I-Is Elder Ye trul

238 - Recollections of the Tenth Peak (1)Behind the Alchemy Hall of the Third Peak was one of the treasured cultivation grounds belonging to the Ye Sect.The Myriad Stars Lake.It was a body of water that collected the Great Dao for thousands of years, and it had an effect of nourishing the body of a cultivator. Its effects were best for those who had just stepped into the Foundational Spirit Realm, as it allowed one's meridians to acclimatize with the newly strengthened body and also stabilized the qi.However, it was also one of the most expensive resources available only to the inner and direct disciples of each peak, as only at most two people could soak in it at a single time, and it could only be used once every three months.

240 - Recollections of the Tenth Peak (3)The twenty-five-year-old Zhi Ruo was bored. On her left were two handmaids serving her a drink and peeling fruits for her, and on her right was a half-step Nascent Divinity Cultivator as a guard, which was funny to think about, since she’s a half-step Nascent Divinity Cultivator herself.“Third Princess, here are your snacks,” one of her handmaids said as she put the bowl of diced spiritual fruit on the table.The four of them were currently resting under the shade of a gigantic spiritual tree, and a tent was pitched under it with a soft velvet cushioned seat and a table made of expensive bark. If someone else were to see such a scenario, they would have thought that some young noble lady was having a picnic. However, the number of corpses of spiritual beasts

241 - Recollections of the Tenth Peak (4)Staring at the guarded gate of the sect, Zhi Ruo found herself in a dilemma.‘How do I enter the Ye Sect?’It had been three hours since she separated from the merchant group she’s escorting and arrived at the entrance of the sect. Since she was not a reckless person in nature, she had decided to have a street snack in a nearby stall to watch and observe the people around her instead of storming in to directly challenge that Protector Ye Mo for a duel.‘What a grand-looking sect! I can recognize some of the runes on the walls. It even has a guardian formation array! It somewhat resembles the designs of the manors in the imperial capital. Is this truly only a third-rate sect? Why do I find this hard to believ

242 - Recollections of the Tenth Peak (5)The vendor had a strange look on her face when Zhi Ruo posed that question. It was not a gaze of suspicion, but a kind of sly look that seemed to be saying, ‘Alas, another idiot has come’.It was the first time the princess had ever received such a look.‘Did I say something wrong?’ Zhi Ruo could not help but wonder.“Lady, did you just arrive at Leaf City?” the vendor asked. Seeing Zhi Ruo nod, the vendor lowered her voice. “I see, I see, then you must not have heard it yet. It is easy to ask the Protector for a spar; I heard he never turned down any challenge made against him. You just have to let your intentions be known, and you will be received by the Ye Sect as a guest. However, you came at

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. The Legaliath Cross was a devastating war that decimated

"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. "That man just protected you, Silver," Green Eyes laughed excitedly. "He

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. "Yes, a name befitting a horse."They could call her whatever they want. Why

*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. Awakened by a burning pain

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. The Cardians called them heathens from the Sout

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. Even the news about the situation in the imperial capital could not be found.That little pretty boy, Qing Wu You, wanted to return to check on his family.

264 - The Girl Who Cannot be Remembered (1) “Uncle, are you all right?” It was Ye Hua who first noticed that Ye Mo was acting strange. 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

263 – Even if the Mind Forgets, the Soul Remembers (5)‘I died?’Ye Mo tried to remember the last thing that happened to him, but only fragmented pieces of images appeared in his mind. 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
