Clang, clang, clang!
A dense storm of throwing knives shot toward An Yi.
Protected by his qi shield, An Yi became an invincible man for one second. The throwing knives couldn’t hurt him at all.
For spirit cultivators, one second was enough to change the entire course of a battle.
So never underestimate a single second!
“Such a boring trick.”
An Yi pulled a throwing knife from his head and said with a faint grin.
That one second of invulnerability had allowed An Yi to ignore eighty percent of the throwing knives.
So when the second ended, he looked as if he had been turned into a porcupine.
The ground was covered in throwing knives, forming an entire layer!
Long Aoxue helped pull the knives from An Yi’s back and asked curiously, “Where did all these throwing knives come from? Why are there so many?”
“I don’t know.”
An Yi glanced around.
A dark spiritual aura enveloped the knives, and they seemed ready to stab him again.
“Ding! Obtained [Shadow Blade Throwing Knife] ×1.”
“Ding! Obtained [Shadow Blade Throwing Knife] ×1.”
“Ding! Obtained [Shadow Blade Throwing Knife]...!”
In an instant, the sheer volume of information nearly filled An Yi’s mind.
Seeing that the notifications had already reached 999+, An Yi was genuinely stunned.
Over a thousand Shadow Blade Throwing Knives—he could make quite a bit of money even if he sold them as scrap metal.
Thanks to the powerful regenerative abilities of his Undying Martial Body, the wounds on An Yi’s body began healing in the blink of an eye.
“What the hell? How are so many throwing knives sealed beneath the stone stele?”
An Yi picked up a throwing knife, his eyes lighting up. The dark spiritual power within it was incredibly pure—exactly the kind of thing he needed.
He activated Devour, and the dark spiritual power in the knife transformed into a streak of black light before being absorbed by An Yi.
“Not bad!”
Feeling a trace of spiritual power ripple through his body, An Yi grinned as he looked at the throwing knives covering the ground.
The throwing knives that were preparing to float began trembling. They even seemed to show a hint of fear.
An Yi spread out his hand, and black dark spiritual power emerged, enveloping everything within a one-mile radius.
A rattling sound rang through the air.
More than a thousand throwing knives were effortlessly swept into An Yi’s grasp.
Streams of black dark spiritual power continuously surged toward his body.
The spiritual power was far too intense. Like a vortex, it was filled with destructive force.
Long Aoxue furrowed her brows and hurriedly transformed into a streak of silver light, entering the storage space. If she stayed there any longer, she would be affected as well.
Cold sweat appeared on An Yi’s forehead.
The immense power was truly terrifying.
In the blink of an eye, An Yi felt his skin splitting apart, and streaks of blood appeared across his body.
At the same time, the spiritual power within him continued accumulating.
His late Heavenly Dipper cultivation was actually beginning to loosen, constantly surging toward the peak of the Heavenly Dipper Realm!
The dark spiritual power contained in over a thousand Shadow Blade Throwing Knives was astonishing.
Yet after flowing into An Yi’s body, it was like a mere drop in the ocean. The moment it entered, it vanished without a trace, transformed by him.
“Whoosh!”
An Yi exhaled a stream of white air, and delight appeared in his eyes.
He had broken through!
The peak of the Heavenly Dipper Realm!
Looking at the Shadow Blade Throwing Knives scattered across the ground, An Yi sighed faintly.
It would have been nice to have a few more. He was still a distance away from the Nirvana Realm, and breaking through to it would not be easy.
As he looked at the knives covering the ground, the corners of An Yi’s mouth curled upward.
Hidden weapons had always been one of An Yi’s favorite skills.
There was no particular reason—ambushing people was simply exhilarating!
Combined with his sap technique, it was practically unstoppable.
Unfortunately, he had always lacked decent hidden weapons. The steel needles and throwing knives in his storage space had all been made back on Blue Star.
They were fine against weaker opponents.
But when he challenged powerful spirit cultivators, they became somewhat inadequate. Steel needles made from ordinary materials could not even pierce an opponent’s protective astral energy.
These thousand-plus Shadow Blades had arrived just when he needed them most.
“Can your body handle this?”
Long Aoxue had come out at some point and tilted her head as she looked at An Yi.
Devour was indeed powerful, but she could tell that it was not a sustainable method.
An Yi’s body was not as fine as it appeared on the surface.
Forcefully devouring dark spiritual power would damage his body, and even the Undying Martial Body found such injuries difficult to heal.
“Don’t worry. I won’t die. If you want to take a shortcut, you naturally have to pay a price. There’s no such thing as a free lunch in this world,” An Yi said calmly.
After using Qi Manipulation to collect all the Shadow Blade Throwing Knives, he turned his gaze toward the shattered stone stele.
This thing was a little too large...
Earlier, An Yi had already been considering how he would carry it if Old Tao gave it to him.
Although his storage space had expanded considerably, filling it entirely with the stele was not realistic.
Long Aoxue wore a vacant expression and thought for a long while before saying, “The stone stele is broken now. You can just take part of it.”
Hearing this, An Yi immediately understood and felt slightly embarrassed.
He had grown so used to taking everything that he had not even considered such an obvious solution.
But... this was a Soul-Sensing Stone!
Long Aoxue seemed to have guessed what An Yi was thinking and hurriedly shook her head. “Spatial transfer consumes a lot of energy!”
“Two fifth-level spirit cores!”
“I’ll need to sleep for several days!”
“Three fifth-level spirit cores!”
“Well... I suppose I can give it a try.”
The next morning.
The training grounds were surrounded by people.
The students and instructors stared at the pile of stone-stele fragments stacked like a small mountain, secretly shocked.
“After a night of tireless effort, I finally managed to retrieve the stone stele... or at least part of it.”
An Yi looked at everyone and announced loudly.
The stone stele was already shattered. That was an established fact, and no one could change it.
However, the fact that the stone stele had sunk beneath the ground had now been confirmed, which meant An Yi had successfully cleared his name.
The instructors burst into enthusiastic applause.
“As expected of Instructor An Yi, a true role model for us all!”
“Taking the academy as his responsibility and devoting himself to every task—Instructor An Yi’s spirit is truly worthy of praise!”
“I believe Instructor An Yi’s abilities, knowledge, and sense of responsibility are more than enough to make him the next academy head!”
“I agree!”
“So do I!”
Watching the instructors flatter him shamelessly, An Yi waved his hand and said slowly, “The headmaster hasn’t stepped down yet. We can discuss that later.”
“Stepped down from what?”
At that moment, Old Tao entered through the gate of the training grounds with his hands behind his back and asked the question.
“Headmaster!”
Whether they were students or instructors, everyone immediately bowed to Old Tao with respectful expressions.
After all, this old man was the academy’s nominal leader.
“Ahem, Old Tao, I found the stone stele and brought it back to you,” An Yi said with a genial smile.
Old Tao’s expression was solemn instead. He looked at An Yi and asked, “What about the things sealed inside it?”
He knew that the things within were no ordinary objects. They could kill people.
“What things?”
An Yi put on a bewildered expression. When he saw Old Tao’s darkening face, he suddenly looked enlightened.
“Oh, you mean those little toys? I’ve got them all right here...”
“Forget it. You can keep them. The fact that you managed to subdue those things means you’re no ordinary brat.”
Old Tao seemed to have no intention of pursuing the matter and spoke indifferently.
An Yi, on the other hand, became curious. “Old Tao, what exactly are those little toys?”
“Little toys?”
Old Tao rolled his eyes at him. “Those are weapons left behind from the God War. They might very well end up taking someone’s life.”
“The God War...”
An Yi’s eyes narrowed slightly, and a smile tugged at the corners of his mouth.
“So their origins really are extraordinary.”

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.
