Art of Arkean Eon
Chapter 1

Great Zhou Dynasty, Wu State, Eastcalm Prefecture.

From the main entrance of one of the eight main Dao Academies in Eastcalm Prefecture - the Dao Lake Mirror Academy - a young man with a sword at his waist walked out.

"Son Meng."

"Good day, Senior Brother Meng."

"Greetings, Senior Brother Meng."

The fellow disciples around him were rather friendly.

The young man slightly nodded at his younger brother and sister. In fact, many of them are older than him. However, the Dao Academy upholds the outstanding disciples. He had entered the Mountain River Pavilion of Dao Academy two years ago.

The Mountain River had twenty-two strongest disciples from the Dao Mirror Lake Academy. They were admired by many junior brothers and sisters. As for Senior Brother Meng, he was highly respected because he often gave them pointers. The other seniors of the Twenty-two Mountain River Pavilion disciples of the Pavilion were also unwilling to bother wasting time on them.

"Young Master, Young Master!" A familiar voice sounded from the side.

A girl dressed in green ran out from the side. Meng Chuan chuckled as he saw this. "Green Bamboo, why are you here?"

"Mrs wants you to go around the East Mountain with her. It was snowing heavily last night, making a beautiful snowy scene," the green-robed girl said with a giggle.

"Visiting the East Mountain?" Meng Chuan frowned and said, "The Eastern Mountain is too far away. I'm afraid we'll spend the night on East Mountain if we travel. We'll be back tomorrow."

The green-robed girl laughed. "Our Yun Family happens to have a villa on the Eastern Mountain that will serve as your accommodation."

Meng Chuan shook his head and said, "Go back and tell Qingping that the Jadesun Palace Demon Killing Meeting will be held in a month. I need to focus on my cultivation and prepare myself. I can't accompany her."

"About that..." "The green-robed girl hesitated.

"Just tell him that when you get back, command Meng Chuan. "Also, make him spend more time cultivating. He shouldn't be thinking of having fun all the time."

"Yes, Young Master." The green-robed girl had no choice but to obediently answer him and return to report to the lady.

Meng Chuan shook his head slightly.

Yun Qingping - who had been engaged since she was young - made her exasperated.

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

The Dao Lake Mirror Academy was built on the east coast of Mirror Lake. There are many residences on the west bank of Mirror Lake. One of them is my home.

"Young Master." There were two guards at the entrance of the house, and they were somewhat respectful when they saw Meng Chuan.

"Is my father inside?"

"Master went to the ancestral home after they sent someone. It happened a moment ago," the guard said.

Meng Chuan nodded while thinking and entered the house.

Swooshes! Swooshes! Swoosh! !!

Very quickly, he heard the whistling sound of arrows. He followed the voice and arrived at the training ground.

A girl in red shot an arrow. An arrow crossed hundreds of feet and landed on the target puppet. Each arrow next hit the shaft, one after another.

Meng Chuan watched from the side as he practiced archery.

Her name was Liu Qiyue - the only daughter of her father's friend, Liu Yebai. He is a friend of life and faith.

When Meng Chuan was eight years old, Liu Yebai took her daughter to Meng Chuan and has lived there ever since.

Qiyue was very similar to her they had lost their mother when they were young. They had been cultivating together from a young age to this day; thus, they enjoyed a deep relationship.

"Ah Chuan, you're back." The red-clothed girl's eyes twinkled as she looked at Meng Chuan. "It's very boring shooting this target doll. Come on, be my target doll. If not for the fact that I was waiting for you, I would have gone to Dao Academy to practice archery. The archery field of the Dao Academy was much larger."

"Alright, I'll be your target doll." Meng Chuan smiled and walked to the center of the training ground.

The girl in red changed the place of the arrows, no arrows had arrows. His eyes twinkled as he looked at Meng Chuan. "Ah Chuan, you have to be careful. Don't get beat up by me again."

"You're careful too. This time, I will definitely destroy your Seven Star Strafe." Meng Chuan focused, waiting for the barrage of attacks.

Swooshes! Swooshes! Swooshes!.

Arrow after arrow was shot as he repeated the entire process over and over, taking the arrow from where the arrow was on his back, pulling his bow and shooting... It was similar to a normal person breathing. Each arrow was extremely fast and powerful.

The sword on Meng Chuan's waist was pulled from its sheath.

Every arrow that flew towards him was blocked by the domain formed by the trajectory of his sword.

"Ah Chuan, your sword arts are becoming stronger. From the looks of it, I need to use a Seven Star Strafe," Liu Qiyue said with a mischievous smile as she shot. Obviously, it was very easy for him to shoot such an arrow.

Swooshes!

Before her voice faded, the arrows shot by the girl in red were accompanied by deafening screeches.

Meng Chuan turned around even this time it was him!

more solemn.

Pffts. Pffts.

Meng Chuan's sword managed to block the bow, blocking the dome-like arrow. However, the Seven Star Strafe was a deadly move that consumed a lot of Energy. The speed of the projectile would only increase with each arrow.

At the sixth arrow, Meng Chuan's sword missed. He then felt a pain in his chest before tripping over. Unconsciously his chest might be bruised.

"I still can't block it." Meng Chuan shook his head helplessly.

"You've blocked four of the five killer moves I've developed. All that was left was the Seven Star Strafe," Liu Qiyue said with a smile. "That's been very impressive. In the Dao Academy, no one in the realm of Marrow Cleansing can block my Three Ghost Arrows, but you can."

"I have defended against your bow and arrow since I was young. Of course, I am better than the ones in your Dao Academy" Meng Chuan shook his head. "In addition, your arrows are not headed. Adding it will only make the arrows faster. I'm afraid I won't be able to fend off more than half of your five killer moves.

"Ah everyone is in the same realm, no one can withstand the barrage of attacks from a Chuan, have you heard of a sniper?, "said Liu Qiyue arrogantly.

"Russia .. If it's a life-and-death situation, I'll rush to your side."

"Snipers have guards." then you'll be my target's puppet. Maybe in the future, you will become my Liu Qiyue pursed her lips. "My bodyguards will arrest you, guards!"

Meng Chuan laughed.

He knew very well how terrifying a sniper was. In any faction, though,

Qiyue was extremely talented in archery.

"Ah Chuan, did your dean call you today and tell you about the Jadesun Palace Demon Killing Meeting?" ask Liu Qiyue.

"Yes, you also already know about it from Sun Dao Bright Academy, right?" ask Meng Chuan.

"Yup! I am the only one in the Marrow Cleansing realm among the top ten disciples of the Bright Sun Dao Academy. The dean decided to give me a place," Liu Qiyue said. "In the Jadesun Palace Demon Slaying Meeting, killing demons is our specialty of snipers."

Meng Chuan smiled and said, "Even though I am one of the top ten disciples in the Marrow Cleansing realm, I still have to fight for one of the three places that my Dao Lake Mirror Academy has for the Marrow Cleansing realm. If I don't get a place, I won't have the right to go.

"Then good luck." Liu Qiyue chuckled.

"Don't be careless. You must not be in close proximity to the demons during the Jadesun Palace Demon Killing Meeting," Meng Chuan said. "Let's practice."

With that said, he suddenly lunged forward.

"Catch me if you can!"

Liu Qiyue immediately ducked down and even turned around to shoot an arrow.

Elsewhere, in one of the five major Godfiend clans of the Yun Family's Eastcalm Prefecture.

Yun Qingping was brewing tea for her father, Yun Fu'an.

"Dad, try a drink." Yun Qingping placed a cup of tea in front of her father in an obedient manner. He suddenly saw his maid, Green Bamboo, who had just returned from afar. His eyes sparkled and he immediately shouted, "Green Bamboo!"

Green Bamboo could only walk obediently.

"Hows it? What did Meng Chuan say?" Yun Qingping immediately asked.

"Young Master Meng said that the Jadesun Palace Demon Killing Meeting within a month. He wanted to focus on cultivating and preparing himself. He cannot accompany you to the East Mountain" whispered Green Bamboo.

"He's not leaving anymore?" Yun Qingping was a bit angry."All he knew was cultivation."

"Young Master Meng wants me to tell you to spend more time cultivating. Don't always think about having fun all the time"Green Bamboo.

"He still wants to set me up?" Yun Qingping was getting angry.

"I think Meng Chuan is right." Yun Fu'an who was sitting there and drank his tea happily and said, "You should cultivate well. Don't always play games."

"Dad, this Meng Chuan is like a log," Yun Qingping glanced at Yun Fu'an and could not help but say, "When I was only a month old, it was not, you guys decided to involve me with Meng Chuan! But my personality is completely different from hers. I like to play, and I like to invite a lot of friends over for fun. But he likes to cultivate, paint, and be quiet. We didn't have the same topic while chatting. The thought of marrying her in the future drives me crazy."

"That's because you're too good at causing trouble that I need someone like him to conquer you. That's a good thing," Yun Fu'an said with a smile.

Yun Qingping rushed to his father's side and hugged his arm. He persuaded. "Dad, I beg you. Go to Meng's family and tell Uncle Meng that we broke off the engagement."

"Never think about it!" Yun Fu'an drank his tea and immediately refused his request.

"Dad!"

Yun Qingping angrily said, "Why does Father insist on forcing me to marry him? Back then, I knew nothing as a one-month-old baby, but Dad broke off my marriage. How do you know what Meng Chuan will do when he grows up? I don't know, but I insisted that I marry him. I never cared about my thoughts. Don't you think that's too much?"

"Meng Chuan is a good choice," Yun Fu'an said. "He is already excelling among the younger generation of the five Godfiend clans in Eastcalm Prefecture."

"What if he excels? I don't like it!" Yun Qingping said furiously. "I don't want to marry a person called a genius who doesn't even have the same interests as me."

Yun Fu'an gently placed down his teacup. He raised his eyes and coldly looked at his daughter.

Yun Qingping's heart trembled.

But the arrogance in his heart made him raise his head and look at his father!

"In the past six months, you have asked me to cancel your engagement six times," Yun Fu'an said coldly. "It seems I'm spoiling you too much. I'll explain it to you today."

Yun Qingping glared at her father.

Yun Fu'an continued, "The marriage between you and Meng Chuan is not just between the two of you. It was also a matter between the Yun family and the Meng family! Even though our Yun family is one of the five major Godfiend clans, it has only stood for decades. We only have a few dozen clans, and we still lack an inheritance. As for the Meng family, they were a Godfiend family that had stood for thousands of years, and they had over 10,000 clans ! Meng Chuan's father, Meng Dajiang, would become the next clan leader of the Meng family. You are the only daughter in the third generation of the Yun family. If you were to marry Meng Chuan, it would naturally increase the bond between our two families. This will be very beneficial for our Yun family"

"Grandfather is already cultivating to become a Godfiend," Yun Qingping replied. "With Grandpa here, no one can shake the Yun Family! Then why don't you let me live more freely?"

"Free? Freedom means marrying whoever you want to marry?" Yun Fu'an said coldly.

"Why? Can't you?" Yun Qingping raised his head and asked, "Are you willing to sacrifice me for the family? Dad, don't you feel ashamed?"

"Shut up!"

Yun Fu'an stood up angrily and angrily pointed at his daughter, shouting, "Yun Qingping, when you want to go out and have some fun, there will be a group of servants following you. If you want to eat the Fire Dragon Fish in the middle of winter, someone will risk their life to find you. Even when you didn't put much effort into your cultivation, much treasure was spent because of you, allowing you to reach the Marrow Cleansing realm this year. I hired experts to give you one-on-one guidance, and since you are weak, I obtained the three guards of the Mortal Shedding world to protect you in secret. It costs 500 taels of silver to hire the three of them each month, not to mention all the other treasures that need to be given..."

"For your so-called carefree life, do you know how much has been sacrificed

yun Family?" Yun Fu'an looked at his daughter.

Yun Qingping was stunned.

He's not stupid.

With a simple calculation, he knew how much money his family would have to spend to maintain such a life.

"You've enjoyed the benefits of family, so you'll have to bear the consequences!" Yun Fu'an shouted furiously. "You just want to enjoy the benefits and not contribute anything? Dream on!"

"Dad, Senior Brother Zhang and I are not..." Yun Qingping immediately tried to explain.

"As long as I find out that there is something going on between the two of you that might tarnish the reputation of the Yun family and the Meng family, not only will he die, even you will not survive! I won't hold back! " Yun Fu'an coldly looked at her, don't blame me for being heartless." her daughter was terrified."When the time comes, don't blame me for being heartless."

Yun Qingping felt a chill on his back.

"My son." Yun Fu'an's expression softened. "That's what a marriage alliance between families is like. No matter how ugly or useless she is, you must marry her. My marriage to your mother was also decided by your grandfather. I have no choice! By the way, the character is also quite good. You should be happy."

After saying that, Yun Fu'an looked at the female servant who was trembling Green Bamboo, he ordered, "Green Bamboo, keep an eye on her. Don't let him make any more mistakes."

"Yes," the Green Bamboo hurriedly replied.

Yun Fu'an then left with his hands folded behind his back.

Yun Qingping stood there and stared blankly at the figure of her father leaving. He thought of the words ".even you won't survive! I won't hold back! When the time comes, don't blame me for being heartless." This sentence surprised him greatly, Yun Qingping.

He felt that this world was different from what he had imagined all along.
