Gate of Immortality

" A sword of the assassin, Light as a feather, Swift like Lightning. One strike to harvest a life." Yang Shi murmured.

"The first stance is unsheathing the sword. Sheath it as the wind blows. Like a candle illuminates a cave of darkness, Unsheathing the sword illuminates the world." Yang Shi unsheathed his sword. With a beautiful curve, he drew out and sheathed it again.

" CRACK....CRAAAAAACCCCCK" A thin, but deep crack spread on the wall before Yang Shi. *BOOOOM* Debris flew as the crack became wider. One should know that the walls of the sky tier room were built with magical bricks. It couldn't be damaged by any Spirit grade weapon. Only peak stage Primordial Spirit Realm cultivators can crack it.

" First Move- Fleeting Light. Unsheath the sword and attack ina blink of an eye." Yang Shi murmured with closed eyes. Unknown to him, A giant illusory Azure lotus appeared behind him. He unsheathed the longsword again.

He opened his eyes and looked at the sky. His purplish eyes were dyed with deep azure color. He looked at the blinking stars. " Hazy yet radiant, Like blinking Stars. One swing to make dozen of cuts- Second Move- Starlight Haze.

Yang Shi took a step back and waved his sword.

*SWISH SWISH SWISH SWISH* His sword almost turned hazy. 

*CLANG CLANG CLANG* More than a dozen cut marks appeared on the wall in an instant. Sweat dripped from his head as Yang Shi's right arm trembled a bit. He understood that his body is reaching its limits, But he didn't want to waste this chance of enlightenment.

His sudden enlightenment caused him to enter a mysterious state, Where he could perceive his path of the sword. All cultivators yearned for entering this state. The Azure lotus shook vigorously, shining its pale azure light on Yang Shi. Of course, Yang Shi didn't know about this phenomenon.

" No, I can't stop now. Not until I perfect the sword technique." Yang Shi murmured. He had divided his art into three parts- Sword Drawing, Middle stance, and Final Form.

" Assassin's sword is a part of his own body. My sword is my heart. My heart is my sword. My sword slashes, like Moonlight reflects. With a thought, My sword shall annihilate my enemies." Yang Shi mustered up all the remaining spiritual qi in his dantian.

He held the sword with both hands, Straight. He poured all the Qi into his hands. His meridians shrunk as the tension on them increased by many folds. " Just a little more. Just a bit." Yang Shi felt his blood churning violently. His Spiritual Qi has emptied, He felt like he was over drafting it.

" Now." Yang Shi opened his eyes. Slowly, he made a vertical slash. The slash itself was slow, like anyone can see it clearly. *HUMMMMMM* The sword hummed, As it resonated with Yang Shi's slash. Yang Shi felt he would collapse in the next moment. Nonetheless, He persisted till the end and completed his slash.contemporary romance

*WENNNGGGGGG* A thin, plate white light shot from the sword. *SWISH* The light slashed across the wall, As a hot knife cut through butter. *BOOM* a loud rumbling noise startled Yang Shi. The room wall was finely cut by the white ray, But looking from it, The building next to it, was in shambles.

People were running out of it frantically. It was a huge commotion outside. But Yang Shi went back to his bed and lied on it. He was very satisfied to complete his third technique. " The third technique- Moonlight Slash. Since I comprehended the sword art in the night, I shall call this art- Sword Art of Stellar Night" Yang Shi smiled as he fell asleep.

Of course, The next day, He had to deal with the aftermath. The walls of his room were almost on the verge of crumbling. His Moonlight Slash almost destroyed the small house that stood beside the Gold and Jade Inn. He had to compensate almost 500,000 gold coins to both parties. But it wasn't much for Yang Shi.

He was quite happy to upgrade his sword technique. He trained for three hours to polish the first two stances. Then he got up and dressed.

" Hmm, I should go to Golden Fire Tower today. Fufufu, I would show them the meaning of genius Blacksmith." Yang Shi smirked in his mind.

" Hmm, Interesting. I didn't think that this brat could produce sword light this fast. His comprehension is quite...good." Samsara Emperor mumbled.

" Maybe his comprehension became better after cultivating Origin Chaos Internal Energy Art. Hmm, It seems I have gained some insights from this." Samsara Emperor closed his eyes.

..........................................

Golden Fire Tower was stood at the center of the city. With a blazing fire burning at the top of it. Although it was called Tower, It wasn't different than any luxurious palace. Lots of people were going in and out. There were two big gates. One was - Gate of Alchemy, the other was the Gate of Blacksmithing.

Yang Shi naturally entered the gate of Blacksmithing. He saw a middle-aged man who was dozing off at the counter.

" Senior." Yang Shi called with a low voice. He didn't want to frighten the man. Unfortunately, His goodwill went to drain. The man didn't wake up.

" SENIOR!" Yang Shi yelled loudly. " Yes! Yes." The middle-aged man woke from his slumber and hurriedly adjusted for his posture. Then he looked at Yang Shi and said- " What? Do you want to order a weapon? Fill the form here and deposit the materials." The man spoke like it was his routine dialogue.

Yang Shi looked at him and politely said, " Senior, I came here to give the test of Blacksmithing."

" What? You came here for the assessment? Hmm, You are quite young. So, You want to take the test for Apprentice Blacksmith?" The middle aged man asked.

" Uhh- No?" Yang Shi denied. " Oh, You want to work as an errand boy, huh? Yeh, We need some of them." The middle-aged man nodded.

" No. why I would be an errand boy?" Yang Shi's face turned odd as he retorted. 

" What? Could it be you came here for the test of Adept Blacksmith?" The gaze of the middle-aged man quivered.

" I came here to give the test for Master rank." Yang Shi said with a deep tone.

" WHAT?" The middle aged man yelled. His brows furrowed as he berated Yang Shi. " Brat, Are You fooling with me?"

" Why would I, senior? I really want to give the test for Master rank." Yang Shi yelled.

"...." The middle aged man couldn't believe that such a young person came to give the test of Master rank Blacksmithing.
