"Looks like a nice place for a little rest and recreation, I see. That Schwarzdachen Beast King brought you here didn't he? That would explain why our meticulous search had failed to yield any results. After having so many people and after so much trouble, who would have thought that you'll be here, hiding like some mice."The old man muttered as he admired the breathtaking beauty of the hidden oasis."Another acolyte of the Sons of Lightning?" Li Mu wondered.He rubbed his forehead.His Third Eye activated surreptitiously.He needed to read the old stranger's strength and power, but to his surprise, he could only read just parts of the full picture. That would place this stranger somewhere at least in the Great Way Realm."Truth be told, you're a natural talent and I have not seen anyone like you for so many years. No wonder you are chosen to wield Godbreaker. You are the sort of talent humankind n

"Li Mu's leaving with me, one way or another."Green Ox flatly refused to bulge.There was no need for more banter. If the Sons of Lightning wanted a fight, then Green Ox of the Sanctuary of the Way would be ready to give it his all. The Sanctuary of the Way, for all its embodiment of the 'Do nothing, Achieve anything' maxim, might have rarely interfered with the cares of the world but its members would never shy from a fight if the need to stick their hands into the mud so arises."Show us what you can do then, Green Ox."The Thunderbird issued its challenge in the human tongue. He unfurled its entire wingspan, its multi-hued feathers bristling with jets of lightning bolts that screamed into the air, sweeping the skies in torrents that came surging down on Green Ox."The Fist of Enlightenment."With a long-winded yell, Green Ox drove his knuckles skyward.Boom!The blast s

Li Mu was on the fourth day of his stay in the Sanctuary of the Way when his presence was requested for an audience with the Grand Master of the Sanctuary and the Supreme Savant of the Brotherhood of Swords. That was also the day when the first snow fell.In one single night, winter came quietly and draped the whole world under a sheet of white.Every inch of the wilderness save for places within range of Trees of Eternity had turned into a subzero tundra. Even Upper King Realm elites could be frozen to death if left exposed to such harsh cold conditions for too long.The Serenity Mountains where the Sanctuary of the Way was perched have a total of five Trees of Eternity. Each of different sizes, the Trees were arranged in a pentagram formation with one at the main summit of Old Sand Ridge being the biggest. The Trees ceaselessly enveloped the entire mountain range in soft emerald-green phosphorescent domes of their emanation, keeping the whole

"I have five more sworn brothers in the Brotherhood. When we first made our pledges together, I promised to include them all if I were to acknowledge anyone else as new sworn brothers. It slipped my mind just now. So, anyway, you're the Seventh."The Sword Savant said all that as a matter-of-factly.What else could Li Mu say?"Isn't this like something from that Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils story?!"Nevertheless, to be able to forge some sort of bond with the Sword Savant, the first sword of the Brotherhood of Swords, would not hurt his prospects at all.At any rate, everything that happened today has been awfully surrealistic. "Well, that simplifies things," the Grand Master of the Sanctuary broke his silence suddenly. "Since Li Mu's name is still on the List of the Condemned, surely, as a brother to him, you can do something to help?""That must be those bastards from Thundercrest innit

“It’s because a part of the Sanctuary of the Way’s lineage came from Earth,” revealed the Grand Master with a twinkling smile. “You and I, we’re fellow humans and Green Ox once had an encounter with you where you helped him to defeat the Fairy Emperor of Light.”Li Mu smiled.The answer might be acceptable, but it was still not yet convincing enough for Li Mu.But Li Mu knew better than to pry. If the Grand Master wished to maintain some secrets of his own, Li Mu could at least have the courtesy to play dumb.Especially since the spiritual intuition of his Xiantian Skill discipline told him that the Grand Master harbored no ill will towards him.“I thank you so much for your concern and kindness, sir,” Li Mu said. “But if it’s not too much of an imposition, it’s about the same matter that I’ve spoken to the Sword Savant earlier; I hope you could—with the influence of the Sanctuary—provide some assistance in the search
