The moment An Yi revealed his true strength, everyone was stunned.
The late-stage Heavenly Dipper Realm! With such strength, he was among the very strongest in the entire Dongling Empire!
Even Grand General Yan, the empire’s strongest spirit cultivator, was only at the peak of the Heavenly Dipper Realm.
Fang Shi was horrified.
He could hardly believe that this young man, who looked nearly ten years younger than him, possessed such terrifying strength!
It was not just him. Zhang Qi, Yan Kui, and the other students in the special admissions class were all dumbfounded as well.
They had known that An Yi might be a Heavenly Dipper Realm cultivator, but they had never expected him to be in the late stage!
Was this guy’s talent really that monstrous?
Zhu Xing gripped his blade with both hands, his eyes dark and sinister.
Although his opponent was a full level above him, he was still far too young. Perhaps his spiritual power was not pure enough. Perhaps Zhu Xing still had a chance to fight back!
“Edge of Steel!”
Zhu Xing roared.
Golden blade-light burst from his saber, and the force of his spiritual power spilled outward, filling the entire space with golden radiance.
An Yi curled his lips in disdain as crimson flames emerged around him.
The students in the special admissions class grew excited at the sight.
They had never witnessed An Yi’s true strength before!
Roiling scarlet flames circled around An Yi’s body.
Beneath the blazing fire, Zhu Xing’s golden light appeared so tiny that it was instantly suppressed by the crimson radiance.
An Yi raised one finger.
Flames spiraled around his fingertip, forming a massive fireball.
“Go to hell!”
Zhu Xing could no longer suppress the fear in his heart. With both hands gripping his saber, he wrapped it in golden light, leaped into the air, and viciously brought it down toward An Yi.
The students of the special admissions class felt their hearts rise into their throats.
They stared nervously at An Yi’s next move, unable to understand what they were seeing.
The students specializing in fire elemental techniques found An Yi’s move strangely familiar, but they did not dare to be certain.
“Greater Fireball.”
An Yi spoke slowly as he hurled the enormous fireball he had gathered.
In an instant, all the students fell silent.
What the hell?
A low-level fire elemental technique—the Greater Fireball?
The fireball, condensed from fire spiritual power, slammed heavily into Zhu Xing’s saber.
In an instant, the golden spiritual power covering the blade shattered!
Zhu Xing was unable to block it. He could only watch helplessly as the fireball hurtled toward him.
“Ah!”
A shrill scream rang out.
Boom!
Zhu Xing was struck by the fireball. It blasted a huge hole through the roof and sent him flying outside, where he disappeared from sight.
An Yi dusted off his hands and said calmly, “Too weak.”
The students in the special admissions class fell silent for a moment before a continuous stream of flattery poured forth.
“I never imagined Instructor An Xiang would be a late-stage Heavenly Dipper Realm cultivator. Truly impressive!”
“As expected of Instructor An Xiang! Even a low-level technique like the Greater Fireball looks so spectacular in his hands!”
“Hahaha, there was no need to use any advanced techniques against an opponent like that!”
Listening to the students’ praise, a smile appeared at the corners of An Yi’s mouth.
Of course, they probably had not realized that the Greater Fireball was currently the most powerful fire elemental technique An Yi knew.
Seeing Zhu Xing blasted away by a single fireball, Fang Shi’s expression became extremely grim.
“An Xiang, Ye Tian, just you wait!”
Fang Shi spoke coldly and prepared to leave.
At that moment, a chilly voice came from behind him.
“There’s no need to wait. I’m right here.”
Ye Tian spoke coldly.
At that moment, the long halberd in his hands was slowly retracting.
Blood sprayed in all directions.
Fang Shi stared at his hands and feet in disbelief.
Slash!
Azure flames, sharp as blades, sliced through his wrists and ankles. Blood gushed from the wounds.
“Ah!”
Fang Shi let out a piercing scream.
The tendons and spiritual meridians in his hands and feet had been severed. His entire body seemed to be suffering the torment of scorching flames.
The pain was so intense that blood seeped from the corners of his eyes.
His tall body curled up from the agony.
With the tendons and spiritual meridians in his hands and feet severed, he would likely be crippled for the rest of his life!
“My spiritual meridians…”
Fang Shi wailed miserably as he looked toward Ye Tian. “If you have the guts, kill me!”
Ye Tian stared at him coldly, completely unmoved.
Sometimes, being alive was not necessarily more comfortable than being dead.
“Instructor An Xiang, let’s go.”
Ye Tian looked toward An Yi, who was picking up glass marbles from the ground, and spoke indifferently.
An Yi stared fixedly at the floor, his brows tightly furrowed. “Wait a moment. Help me take a look. The number’s wrong. Where did the last one fall?”
Everyone: “…”
…
The Fang Residence.
“My son! My poor son! How did you end up like this?”
A middle-aged woman looked at Fang Shi, who was covered in blood, and threw herself over him, wailing.
Tears filled Fang Shi’s eyes as he sobbed bitterly.
“Mother, my spiritual meridians have been destroyed. I’m nothing but a cripple now! I’ve failed the Fang family!”
A middle-aged man with graying temples looked at Fang Shi’s miserable condition and trembled with rage.
“That Waste of the Ye Family is truly detestable!”
“Fang Xiong, your son has been reduced to this state, and you useless coward still haven’t given me an explanation?” the woman snarled angrily, punching Fang Ying.
Fang Xiong’s face turned pale with fury. “Isn’t this all because you spoiled the boy? If you hadn’t indulged him, how could that Waste of the Ye Family have attacked our son?”
“You spineless coward! How dare you shout at me!”
The woman flew into a rage and reached out to yank Fang Xiong’s ear.
“If it hadn’t been for me back then, how could your Fang family have entered the Trade Alliance…”
Fang Xiong endured his wife’s unreasonable outburst. He took a deep breath and said in a low voice, “There is still one way to heal Fang Shi’s spiritual meridians.”
The woman suddenly stopped.
“You—you mean the Divine Spirit Church?”
…
Far away from the Dongling Empire was the Fragrant Heaven Empire.
A magnificent and enormous building stood in the imperial capital. Its scale rivaled that of a royal palace, displaying its extraordinary status.
This was the headquarters of the Trade Alliance, whose branches were spread throughout the entire continent.
A massive flying bird circled through the sky.
A figure leaped down from its back and hurried into the headquarters.
“Front-line commercial report from the Dongling Empire!”
The messenger entered the hall and presented the letter in his hands.
A young maid took it from him.
She pulled out a crystal and exclaimed in delight, “What a beautiful little crystal! It’s so perfectly round.”
Under the lamplight, the crystal was astonishingly clear and lustrous. No ordinary crystal could compare to it.
The messenger respectfully explained, “In the Dongling Empire, this item is known as a Tear Crystal. On the day it first appeared, nine of them sold for a thousand gold coins at auction!”
The maid’s hand froze when she heard this.
A thousand gold coins for nine.
Wouldn’t that make this single crystal worth more than a hundred gold coins?
Her hand began to tremble as she held the Tear Crystal.
Just one of these was worth more than she was.
“Dujuan, let me have a look at the crystal!”
A tall, graceful woman approached with elegant steps.
The moment she appeared, the entire hall seemed to brighten.
The messenger immediately lowered his head, not daring to look at the woman’s breathtakingly beautiful face.
Although this woman, whose appearance was practically flawless, had joined the Trade Alliance less than half a year ago, she had already become the alliance’s vice president.
What made her frightening was not her strength, but her ability to coordinate and manage.
Whether it was decision-making or control over the entire Trade Alliance, she was astonishingly capable.
During this period, the Trade Alliance had been able to expand its channels and influence in an orderly manner, and she had contributed greatly.
“Yes!”
Dujuan looked at the beautiful woman and smiled sweetly. She quickly and carefully handed over the Tear Crystal.
The breathtaking woman took the legendary Tear Crystal in her delicate hand. Her beautiful eyes froze for a moment, and she blurted out, “A glass marble?”

nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
