Brewing

The night sky was completely silent.

Soren sat cross-legged by the campfire, his hands resting on his knees, holding the Scimitar Icetail. This was the Swordmaster's method of training, a mystical realm akin to meditation. In that moment of extreme mental stillness, the senses would capture the fleeting tremor, which is why the Swordmaster's attacks were always so precise and deadly. This was also the foundational training for mastering the Legendary Feat [Weakness Insight], something Rogue like Soren would undoubtedly need to dedicate considerable effort to mastering in the future.

Ti was also sitting cross-legged.

However, she didn't enter a meditative state; she simply sat quietly, appearing very relaxed, vaguely resembling the Grand Master of Fist Soren had met before. The Eastern Dancer rested her head on his long, muscular thighs. The relationship between the two women felt a little strange to Soren; he wasn't sure if they were just really close friends or if there was some other special connection. The woman before him, Ti, looked like a gentle older Elder Sister, occasionally reaching out to lightly stroke the Eastern Dancer's long hair.

Her eyes were very clear.

Soren had never seen such clear eyes; they reflected a pure heart and a pure power.

Body, mind, soul.

The training of Grand Master of Fist is similar to that of Monk. Through rigorous training, they acquire pure physiques, becoming completely immune to any disease. With further training, the physical bodies of Grand Master of Fist gradually approach perfection, rendering them immune to any toxins. When their training reaches a certain level, the spirit of Grand Master of Fist becomes extremely pure, and both their bodies and minds enter a mystical state of 'ethereal tranquility'. Ultimately, Grand Master of Fist, like Monk, will cultivate to the realm of ' Transcendence '.

To put it simply...

The woman before me had cultivated herself to the point of achieving a unity of 'essence, energy, and spirit'; her crystal-clear gaze represented a truly existing power.

Your mind is not at peace.

Ti gazed at Soren for a long time, then slowly said, "Although you possess extraordinary composure, you will never be able to perceive the true path of cultivation until your mind is truly at peace."

Soren slowly raised his head and said in a deep voice, "What should I do?"

"I can't teach you." Ti gently shook her head, removed the ribbon from her hair, letting her long black hair fall freely. She raised her hand and lightly stroked the Eastern Dancer's cheek, whispering, "In the Eastern Realm, everyone cultivates in a different way. Even within the same school of monasteries, there will be different methods of cultivation."

"You have a very strong belief!"

"I can feel it. This is a good thing. When you find the path of spiritual practice, this belief will become your greatest motivation."

Ti paused for a moment, then continued, "I met a druid when I left my hometown."

"He, like you, came from the other side of the continent. Although he possessed some mysterious Spell that could have allowed him to reach the Eastern Realm quickly, he ultimately chose to travel on foot. He spent over a year walking tens of thousands of miles, traversing forests, grasslands, Gobi Desert, and wastelands, finally reaching Azure Dragon Lake in the Eastern Realm. Before I left, he had already been there for three years, spending his days planting trees, flowers, and grass, and meditating and cultivating there."

He said he was trying to understand the Way of Nature.

"The Druid's Way of Nature differs from our path of cultivation, and the power you wield is different from ours. Therefore, if you intend to cultivate, you should seek the answer from the source of your own power."

At this point, Ti stopped.

She slowly closed her eyes, seemingly having no interest in saying anything more.

Soren fell into deep thought upon hearing her words. If the source of the Druids' power was the Way of Nature, then where did the power of the Rogue originate?

Combat skills?

No!

In terms of combat skills, Rogue surpass many professionals because they are inherently among the most skilled.

Soren looked toward the campfire. He noticed the shadows cast by the firelight.

shadow.

He gently opened his palm, his expression thoughtful. The source of the Rogue ' power should be the Shadow, the only supernatural power they could use, and the foundation for most of their Supernatural Ability. However, Soren wasn't very familiar with this ability, nor did he have many clues on how to improve it. More often than not, it was like a bloodline ability, seeping into their bodies little by little as their class level and strength increased. From the moment they advanced to Rogue, their bodies began to adapt to the power of the Shadow.

A mysterious Eastern Realm.

They seem to have taken a completely different path, which explains why more and more professionals have been heading to the Eastern World over the past few centuries.

Soren didn't have many clues.

After all, he didn't know much about cultivation in the Eastern Realm, but he was familiar with some things.

That's the Swordmaster.

The existence of the Swordmaster is a perfect combination of different professional systems on both sides of the continent. He inherits the explosive power of the Warrior on the continent and also masters the most mysterious 'Qi' of the Eastern Realm.

Qi Slash.

This is the Swordmaster's most iconic ability.

Unleashing his peak combat power in an instant, all of Soren's Sword Momentum are now derived from the explosive techniques of the Qi Slash. Soren felt a fog before his eyes, as if he saw something, yet also as if he didn't. He thought of the Gale Ronin he encountered at the beginning; although he was an advanced class of Ranger Warrior, his combat techniques clearly showed traces of ' Flurry of Blows '.

"Perhaps I should have the chance to visit the Eastern Realm again."

Soren slowly stood up, turned to look at Ti behind him, and said softly, "Dawn is breaking. Let's part ways here. Take care! I hope we'll have the chance to meet again."

A sliver of light gradually appeared on the horizon.

Soren turned and walked away into the distance without saying much.

The Eastern Dancer slowly opened her eyes, gazing at Soren's departing figure with a complex and somewhat reluctant expression, which eventually settled into a calm.

"Let's go too."

Ti slowly stood up, gently stomped her foot, and the sand in front of her collapsed, burying the campfire. She turned and gently stroked the Eastern Dancer's cheek, saying slowly, "The Imperial Princess is still waiting for us to return. Recently, it seems that monasteries in various places have been making moves. I'm worried that those Evil Creature underground are about to emerge again."

Guarding against Evil Creature.

From the fall of the Arcane Empire until now, the Ancient Evil Creature sealed underground has always been a great enemy of the entire Eastern Realm!

Two tall figures gradually disappeared into the distance.

Before leaving, the Eastern Dancer glanced back one last time. Soren's figure had already disappeared into the distance, and only a Little Black could be vaguely seen.

The sandstorm gradually spread.

This desert marks the border between two kingdoms and is also the place where the Arcane Empire was truly Destruction.

This desert once boasted the most brilliant and glorious Arcane Magic, whose influence radiated throughout the Multiverse. But now it has become the most desolate and dangerous Death Desert.

Energy radiation destroyed everything.

This desert covers more than a quarter of the continent and separated the two countries for thousands of years. It was not until the arrival of Ascetic from the East and the opening of Eastern Route from the South Coast that contact between them gradually increased!

but.

For ordinary people, the Eastern Realm remains a distant and unknown place.

Arendelle, Land of Ice and Snow.

Recently, a new figure has emerged in Arendelle: Lord Adele Isabella, a descendant of Queen Isabella Isabella.

In other parts of the continent, it is not easy for a woman to obtain a title, but there are no such concerns in Arendelle. This Adele Isabella is the new darling of Arendelle. She not only has noble blood, beautiful face, and amazing wealth, but also has a close relationship with Princess Anna of Arendelle. She is invited to almost every court banquet and always sits next to Princess Anna, as if she has become Princess Anna's closest confidante.

Her existence was even known to other kingdoms in the south, after all, Queen Isabella's bloodline held a different significance.

It was also on this day.

Lord Adele Isabella, the newly emerging figure in Arendelle, has left. She will be traveling by merchant ship to the South Coast, as she still has her own business in Shipwreck Bay.

The message somehow reached the kingdom on the South Coast.

Many nobles in the south began to make moves, sending people to try and meet this woman of noble lineage. Her beauty, her wealth, and her status all stirred the ambitions of the southern noble youths. A woman of noble birth could not only enhance the prestige of a family, but also allow them to share in enormous wealth and establish connections with the affluent Arendelle.

Both people and money are gained.

Countless southern nobles were harboring their own ambitions.

Soren's scheme has begun to take shape.
