Spring Sky

Alex smiled as he looked at Jeffrey and the nine disciples, "Conquer the Forest Biome!"

The air froze as the words left his mouth, and a powerful aura exploded out of Alex's body. His disciples looked dumb for a second before they were suddenly blasted by his might.

Alex smiled and looked at Jeffrey. He was the only one who reacted normally and bowed, "As you wish, Milord."

The disciples who were clearly flustered and still somewhat stunned from the mission handed to them quickly followed after Jeffrey and bowed, "As you wish, Master!"

Alex stood and smiled, nodding while pretending to not see their awkwardness.

"You will take care of the villages while I'll handle the spirit beasts. Jeffrey will lead you to the villages as well as take care of the village chiefs and any warriors that are beyond your level."

"Remember, you have 10 days. I want all the villages Conquered by then and the Villagers to know Who The Fifth Prince Is, Is That Understood?"

"Yes, Master!"

"Good," Alex nodded in approval as he saw his disciples slowly gaining battle spirit and even Jeffrey cracking his fingers at the thought of going into battle once more.

"All right, Set off!" Alex turned and started walking south, "We'll meet again in ten days."

"Yes, Master!"

Alex walked slowly and steadily, every step taking him 10 yards forward. According to the map he had acquired of the forest biome from the kingdom, going south would bring him deeper into the forest to where the spirit beast king resided in the middle of the forest.

Even further south was the route to the next biome, The Flames Biome. Going west and east would take him to the various villages that were hidden deep in the forest, and north would lead out of the forest biome.

Alex came here to conquer the biomes and begin his plans to win the throne out from under his brothers. Naturally, he would have to take out the spirit beast's king. Acting as if he were taking a morning stroll through the woods, Alex opened the system. He pulled out a bamboo slip with a lightning design on the back and put it to his head.

A scene recorded on the bamboo slip appeared in Alex's mind. A giant shadow stood tall above a mountain, bearing a monstrously sharp presence. Alex was shocked by this, especially the words [Sword Sage] standing above the shadow's head that nearly blinded him.

The shadow took a glance at Alex and examined him before a sword appeared in his left hand.

[First Stance- Spring Sky]

The shadow roared the name of the first stance. He sucked in the light of the surrounding area to his sword and it turned a mesmerizing orange. Colorful dots systematically appeared in the giant shadow and started circulating in a fast manner.

It took Alex a second to recognize this was a qi path and probably the qi circulation path for the first stance. He immediately figured out what was happening and focused on the giant.

This sword sage was showing him to perform the Spring Lightning Sword Technique!

[Second Stance- Thunder Roar]

The qi path within the giant shadow quickly changed and flowed in reverse. The giant slowly pushed his sword forward and a powerful and untamed Roar of Thunder echoed off the blade of the sword, pressuring the mountain below.

[Third Stance- Spring Lightning Descent]

After saying the third stance, the qi path in the giant shadow changed again slightly and the sword descends with the blink of an eye. An Orange lightning strike descended, wreaking havoc on the mountain, leaving nothing but dust.

After the scene ended, Alex stood in shock. He had seen with his own eyes, the sword turned into lightning, Spring Lightning, and destroyed the entire mountain below the giant sword sage.

Getting over his shock, Alex quickly put the slip back to his head and rewatched the scene. This time focusing solely on the qi path of the sword technique the sword sage showed and tried to comprehend the complicated truths behind this mystical technique.

After a bit of time passed, Alex brought the bamboo slip down from his forehead. Truly great, He thought. Opening the system, he needed to buy a sword. Looking at the pitiful number of points he had at the top right and opening the treasure tool section, he once again realized how broke he was.

Nine Divine Feathers Fan(9 million DGP), Myriad Lightning Armor(5 million GDP), Empyrean Ruler(6.5 million GDP), Heavenly Devil Wings(2.2 million GDP), Heaven's Bolt(3.7 million GDP), Immortal Slaying Spear(10 million GDP), God Beheading Sword(10 million GDP), Devil Executing Blade(10 million GDP), Buddha Slaughtering Halbert(10 million GDP), Mysterious Dao Core(20 million GDP), Dragon Bone Frame Armor(8.6 million GDP), Heaven and Hell World Core(14 million GDP), Titan's Heaven Hammer(7 million GDP).

*Sigh*

There was nothing he could do about it for now. He would have to buy the best and cheapest treasure tool he could find at a valuable level. As Alex mentally scrolled to the bottom of the section and selected a valuable level sword called Thunderbolt, the system prompted.

[Would the host like to use a Treasure Tool Ticket or buy [Thunderbolt Sword] for 15,000 GDP?]

Alex was immediately dumbfounded. He smacked his head hard, "How could I forget I still have a Treasure Tool Ticket!"

Dummy! Dummy!

How would this Treasure Tool Ticket best help me right now? Should I use it to get an OP weapon worth a couple of millions? No, What's the point of having such a weapon if I can barely use it with my cultivation. What should I do? Use it to help me conquer the great biomes? Of Course! But how?

Alex quickly decided to purchase the Thunderbolt Sword for 15,000 GDP with his thoughts being this. Even though this sword is at a lower level compared to a lot of the treasure tools in the system, it's still one of the very high-rank valuable tools at the supreme level.

I can unleash at least 40 percent of its power currently not to mention even more powerful precious ranked tools and above which were meant for God and devil ranked beings and above. The master-disciples tool was different as it was an auxiliary tool and not an offensive or defensive tool.

He also had to chance to upgrade it when the time came, and he became more powerful than he currently is. After all, After Valuable It Becomes Precious.

"That's right, I can go the Auxiliary route!" Alex thought. As he was about to search for an auxiliary treasure tool in the system, Alex heard a sudden roar.

ROARR! ROARR!

GROWL!

Alex hurried and ran in the direction of the roaring he heard. As he passed through the woods at a lightning-fast pace, he eventually came upon the beast.

It was a Panda Spirit Beast.

The panda stood 8 feet tall and beat his chest while roaring over a giant wolf body. The surrounding forest and trees were filled with claw marks and the strong smell of blood lingered in the air. Alex could immediately tell that a battle had happened, and that the Panda had emerged victorious.

As the Panda saw Alex step into the scene, he let a powerful roar out, flexing his might. Alex could the bulging muscles on the Panda's arms and legs. That and his ferocious roar created a pretty scary picture.

Alex quickly took out his Thunderbolt Sword from the system and held it in his left hand before getting into stance to perform the first move of the Spring Lightning Sword Technique.
