Chapter 1, Invincible Loneliness

Excessive

A tumultuous wave surged in my mind, and I suddenly fainted.

The sides of the sacred path are adorned with inscriptions, safeguarding this temple. Upon reaching the top of the sanctuary, one stands quietly in the position designated for the ceremony, surrounded by emptiness. The awakening ceremony can only be conducted by two individuals: one is the person performing the ritual, and the other is the one receiving it.

What is going on

I am nearing twenty years of age yet have not awakened my talents, today is also my last opportunity

With a muffled sound, the thin man stood still, blood gushing from his nose, his face filled with grief and anger, and he collapsed with a loud thud, losing consciousness immediately

Seek death!

Song Qian spat on his unconscious body and said, "So much for being one of the top ten experts of the Silver Leaf Martial Academy, pfft!"

My heart couldn't help but race much faster, this girl is unbelievably beautiful, could she really be the Valkyrie Su Xiyu

The carriage departed from home, leaving a cloud of dust behind, and headed straight for the center of Silverleaf City

Saying this, he ran away in a flash

I frowned and thought, how beautiful could it be? This fellow is truly lacking in ambition, as if he has seen a fairy.

Is it possible? This cannot possibly be a thirty-year-old woman

I am a fortunate individual. At the age of 6, I awakened a top-grade spiritual vein. At 9, I awakened the spiritual weapon Moon Blade. By 14, I broke through to the Heavenly Surge realm, becoming the youngest master in the Federation at that level. Furthermore, a pale road trial three years ago transformed me completely, allowing me to become one of the few masters in Silver Leaf City.

Hmph

Outside the door, Uncle Fu held a basin of clear water, wearing a kind smile as he said: "Young Master, please hurry, Master Song Qian has been waiting for you for a long time"

In the distance, several luxurious carriages were stationed at the entrance of the cathedral. In addition to the carriages, there were knights equipped with fine weapons. Before our carriage had even come to a stop, a cathedral guard approached and whispered, "Young Master Bu, the Valkyrie's convoy has just arrived. You may go up first and wait for the Valkyrie to conduct the ceremony for you."

What is your name

The slender figure gently waved his hand, and instantly, the spiritual energy coalesced into a brilliant sword. He coldly said: "I am Chang Fang from the Silver Leaf Martial Academy in Silver Leaf City, here to seek your guidance!"

Beautiful, indeed a stunning beauty! Song Qian was almost breathless, his face flushed red, as if he had just swallowed an entire sea bass

The body suddenly trembled, as if it were sealed by a powerful force. A stream of fiery light within was about to burst forth from the body, threatening to explode the internal organs. No, this feeling is definitely abnormal

Dust swirled as the stout figure collided with the wall of my home in a "big" shape, the ethereal war hammer immediately dissipating into specks of spiritual brilliance, softly lying on the ground, having already been knocked unconscious

Song Qian touched the back of his head and smiled: "I thought you liked it, anyway... anyway, it will be over soon. We cannot keep the Valkyrie waiting, as that would be a breach of etiquette"

Just before the sword wind, sharp enough to pierce the skin, arrived, I suddenly raised my right hand. The aura of spiritual power surged dramatically, and a long sword, cold as a waning moon, appeared in my hand. Moon Blade, my life weapon!

After washing up, a young man in his twenties stood outside the door. Although he appeared somewhat immature, he forced a look of bravado, his face nearly blooming with a smile: "Brother Xuan, hurry up and come out! I heard that today for your awakening ceremony, one of the Federal Valkyries, Su Xiyu, will be present. It is said that she is an astonishingly beautiful woman"

The third stage is the most important stage, the awakening of talent

Alright, thank you, Uncle Fu

Bathed in a ray of light, I felt as if I were enveloped in the warm embrace of the orange sunlight, as if all my strength had been sapped away. Within the orange glow, it seemed that something was staring intently at me, and I could do nothing but gaze back at it with equal intensity.

However, until the age of twenty, I had not awakened my talent, which was a source of concern for the entire family

The so-called awakening ritual is, in fact, a ceremony that forcibly awakens one's talents using a potion. Although it is said to be miraculous in legends, from my perspective, it is merely the effect of the potion.

Before leaving, a sharp sound came from one side, ominously unpleasant.

After a full several dozen breaths of time, it was finally clear!

A wave of intense heat surged through the body, a fiery sensation spreading throughout, as if the entire physique had been instantaneously detonated

I patted him on the shoulder: "Let's go, to the sanctuary!"

At that moment, the sound of rustling footsteps approached, the curtain on the top floor of the sanctuary was lifted, and a figure entered my line of sight, instantly making the air feel as if it had frozen.

She possesses a face of exquisite beauty, with azure eyes that seem utterly unblemished. Her feet are adorned with a pair of finely crafted military boots, and she is dressed in a high-ranking female officer's uniform, of the open-collar style. Her light golden hair cascades like water over her shoulders, while her white shirt is nearly bursting at the seams due to her ample bosom, creating a breathtaking silhouette. The deep blue military uniform is adorned with three gleaming gold stars on the chest, and her lower half is fitted with a short skirt that perfectly accentuates her graceful figure. Draped behind her is a blood-red cape, and as she stands there, she exudes an unparalleled elegance. Her light golden hair cascades like water over her shoulders, while her white shirt is nearly bursting at the seams due to her ample bosom, creating a breathtaking silhouette.

Draped behind her is a blood-red cape, and as she stands there, she exudes an unparalleled elegance.

"You two don't need to call for the Moon Blade to deal with this." I said with a bright smile, "Come on, come on, let's make it quick and decisive."

The thin man let out a roar, and the long sword, infused with his spiritual power, sliced through the air

Are you Bu Yixuan ? !

The thin man expressed some annoyance, saying: "Isn't that a bit too arrogant?"

Swift Wind Stab, one of the universally applicable spiritual martial arts techniques on the continent

In the early morning, apart from the chirping of the birds in the yard, it is the voice of Uncle Fu that can be heard. Uncle Fu is the servant of the Bu family, having served the Bu family since my father's generation.

The stout man stomped his foot, and a surge of mysterious energy rose, revealing a spiritual iron hammer in his right hand. With a chuckle, he said, "Du Honglei from the Silver Leaf Martial Academy has come to learn about your skills, Bu Yixuan!"

Just as I was struggling to break free from that force, he suddenly opened his eyes, as if he could see me, and revealed a sinister smile.

The scent of the awakening potion is somewhat peculiar, it is the scent of the Ningxue flower, indeed, I have encountered this flower during that massacre, not just once!

The stout man let out a roar, his feet pounding the ground as he approached. Despite his corpulent figure, his speed was surprisingly swift. The wind blades on the spiritual war hammer swirled, resembling a fierce wind that whipped up and stung the skin.

The Sanctuary, a structure built of white marble, enshrines the Seven Spirits. Like the Celestial Fire Tower, it is part of the organization of the Seven Temples situated in each city, and it is regarded as a sacred place by nearly all practitioners of spiritual cultivation in Silverleaf City

The reason Uncle Fu said today is my big day is that today will be my "Day of Divine Revelation"

In summary ... I am at a loss for words, if I had to describe it, it would be ... I have never seen such a stunning girl, Xuan, you can see for yourself in a moment, she is coming, I will take my leave now

In the words of Song Qian, as long as my talent awakens, I will have endless women and limitless money

Once the talent awakens, the future is limitless. Coupled with my naturally superior spiritual vein, given time, I could grow to become a person who can summon the wind and rain, and may even aspire to reach the pinnacle of the Dragon Spirit Continent, becoming a being of divine martial prowess. However, if the talent does not awaken, then a lifetime of cultivation may forever be halted at the present, unable to advance any further.

As she spoke, she took out a small vial, which contained the awakening potion, and threw it at me, instantly leaving me in a state of confusion

In the lower layer of these three thousand fragmented realms, there are one thousand lands with thin spiritual energy, each suppressed by divine seals that prevent them from connecting with one another. These fragmented realms form a small world of their own. After tens of thousands of years, these realms establish their own rules and begin to completely detach from the upper world. The clouds and mist linger for a thousand years, the wilderness stretches for miles, and at any moment, divine birds may strike the heavens, and savage beasts may shake the mountains.

Pung!

Unfortunately, the speed is too slow

After waiting for about ten minutes, the person who came in was Song Qian, and this fellow had an excited expression on his face

I opened my eyes, only to see the Valkyrie before me in a state of panic, as flames engulfed her body, consuming all her garments and revealing the perfect form beneath her clothing

Unfortunately, both strength and speed are sufficient, but the intention is also too obvious

There are three essential stages that every spiritual practitioner must undergo. The first stage is the awakening of the spiritual vein; only by possessing a spiritual vein can one harness spiritual power. The second stage is the awakening of the innate artifact. The so-called innate artifact is an object that one is born with, a product of the binding of one's own spiritual power, also referred to as "spiritual gear." Some individuals have weapons as their innate artifacts, while others possess defensive tools, with a wide variety of types that are too numerous to enumerate

Well, let's go

Do you not use spiritual tools

At the entrance, the family's carriage is parked at a distance in the courtyard, and the coachman is already waiting.

A wisp of pale yellow energy surged between the arms, as the battle technique was silently practiced. Under the urging of spiritual power, faint sounds of dragon roars and tiger howls could be heard, which was precisely the third level of the battle technique's mental method—"Dragon Soaring and Tiger Striding." The strength filled the crescent blade, effortlessly striking aside the opponent's long sword. The left fist followed suit, as if a bolt of lightning was traversing through the air—Thunderous Fist

I was momentarily stunned by such captivating curves

I know, but she is thirty years old. Are you overthinking it? I said with a smile

My name is Bu Yixuan, and I was born in a small town called Silver Leaf City in the northern part of the Longling Federation. My father, Bu Buping, runs an iron smelting shop, and the business is fairly average, so my status in this world is approximately below average.

... ...

Yet, I only saw her left arm crossed over her chest, her beautiful face filled with shame and anger. Suddenly, a fierce flame armor enveloped her entire body as she advanced towards me, her right fist rushing forward, transforming into a massive red dragon that struck against my eye socket.

Song Qian is my close friend, just one year younger than me, and we have been friends since childhood. His father is a businessman who sometimes spends years away from home, so Song Qian once spent almost all his time at my house, and we became very familiar with each other, as close as brothers

"Enough with the nonsense, come at me!" The stout man roared, the war hammer buzzing and vibrating intensely, as his strength began to surge.

Hong

The atmosphere became tense, yet Uncle Fu and Song Qian appeared unfazed, as they had witnessed such scenes too many times before. Even Song Qian grinned and said, "Brother Xuan, let’s make it quick; we don’t have much time."

After dismounting from the carriage, I headed straight for the top floor of the sanctuary. Along the way, many people from Silverleaf City gazed at me with unwavering eyes. This awakening ceremony will determine whether a martial deity-level figure can emerge from Silverleaf City. After all, I possess a top-grade celestial spirit vein, which is nearly unique on the continent. Once my talent is awakened, my future will be bright!

Close your eyes, the ceremony has begun

I patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Don't get excited, use the vocabulary you have to describe it."

Ah ... ...

Behind the stone screen, the two individuals stood there, and upon hearing my words, their faces were evidently filled with embarrassment and anger. One was stout and the other slender, both standing upright with a hint of hostility on their faces, exuding an aura of spiritual power, indicating they possessed some degree of strength. Their purpose for coming was self-evident: to challenge me, the one known as the foremost genius of Silver Leaf City, in order to make a name for themselves.

Alright, Brother Xuan

In the Silver Leaf Martial Arts Academy, there are no more than fifty individuals who can use the Gale Stab, and this thin man is considered a master

In a corner of the universe, there exists a world known as the Three Thousand. Under the bright sun, three thousand colossal continents float and rotate in the cosmos, drawing upon the energy of heaven and earth and receiving the essence of the sun and moon. It is said that these three thousand continents are the fragments formed from the fall of an ancient deity, continuously nurturing and reproducing since ancient times, ultimately leading to flourishing forests and ceaseless life, collectively referred to as the Three Thousand Worlds

I slightly bent my body, my entire being tensed like a war bow. A surge of spiritual energy rushed up from my feet, instantly transforming into immense power that flooded into my body. In an instant, I surged forward to stand before the two of them. My left foot gently slid back half a step, my center of gravity sank, and strands of light green spiritual energy rose from the ground like vines. With a grip of my fingers, I channeled strength through my arms, raised my brows, and smiled, saying: "Come at me together!"

Young Master, it is time to get up, Young Master Song Qian has already arrived, today is indeed your big day

... ...

As I opened my eyes, I found the orange sunlight pouring down on my face, as if something was staring at me, having already locked onto my heart and mind

Then I will not be polite

In the southeastern corner of the world, an ancient continent floats amidst countless stardust, forming its own unique realm, known as the Dragon Realm

I was taken aback and said, "How can there still be people here!"

Pung!

The people of the Dragon Spirit Continent adeptly harness the spiritual power between heaven and earth, venerating the Seven Spirit Deities. The entire continent is composed of multiple factions, which, after years of turmoil, have unified to form what is known as the Dragon Spirit Federation. This very treaty is what nearly upholds the peace and tranquility of the entire world

Amidst the towering waves of solar energy, a person was trapped atop a stone pillar, surrounded by chains of a copper-like color. However, they were certainly not made of copper, for otherwise, they would have melted long ago. This strange individual had withered muscles and skin, appearing almost like a mere skeleton. With closed eyes, he emanated an extremely terrifying aura, verging on the forbidden.

There is no need to waste time; you cannot defeat me. I said with a smile

Okay, thank you very much

Above the Dragon Realm lies an ancient empire, known to the world as the Dragon Spirit Empire. After generations of inheritance, it was renamed the Dragon Spirit Federation. To the north of the Federation, a small city named Silverleaf City is nestled among the mountains. The city is fortified and its population is thriving. Thus, the story begins here

How is it?

Almost at the moment his war hammer approached, I suddenly shifted my feet, my entire body moved sideways in an instant, my palm opened wide, and like an eagle's claw, I grasped his collar and, taking advantage of the momentum, threw him out.

Eh?

While I was lost in a whirlwind of thoughts, her pair of azure eyes turned towards me, and her voice was ethereal, exceedingly pleasant to hear

I have long heard that Su Xiyu is a great beauty and the commander of the 300,000 border garrison troops, but isn't it a bit exaggerated for someone so young and beautiful? Moreover, she looks no older than 20; how could she possibly be the 30-year-old Su Xiyu?

The sharp sword unleashed a fierce blaze several meters long, slicing through the air like a sharp arrow, creating a wave of energy that scorched the surroundings

Brother Xuan, I saw the Valkyrie Su Xiyu!

The sound of a bell ringing

Pung!

... ...

No peeking!

It is said that between heaven and earth, there are ten directions of worlds, each connected by order, with a sacred deity guarding each realm, just as the celestial bodies of the universe operate ceaselessly, nurturing countless beings within them

The bloodlines passed down from some ancient powerful beings began to proliferate, and humanity gradually started to dominate these fragmented realms, forming ancient empires and clans, which were handed down through generations and continued in an unbroken lineage
