The Immortality Flower
The reason I chose

"You will fight each other to determine where you live"

Eight participants followed the guide's words preparing for the fight.

"Bai Yu Ming against Li Mu Jin! "

Bai Yu Ming ascended to the fighting arena doing a homage to the opponent.

"start! "

Mu Jin attacked Yu Ming using a thin sword darting sideways towards the right. Yu Ming twisted his fan holding a thin sword beside him. A faint smile from Yu Ming made Mu Jin suspicious.

The one who was attacked by Mu Jin was the fake body of Yu Ming. The fan belonging to the original Yu Ming turned into a sharp sword darting slit across Mu Jin's cheeks.

The sword back into Yu Ming's hands turned into a guqin. Without giving Mu Jin a chance to be surprised, Yu Ming launched his attacks in succession. The guqin strings created sharp wind blades according to his own spiritual roots.

Mu Jin's thin sword whirled swiftly destroying every blade of wind guqin Yu Ming. The speed of Mu Jin's sword twisting beyond its limits made sparks created to give rise to violent fire tornadoes with the temperature increasing.

Yu Ming stopped his guqin quote realizing the fire tornado was getting closer towards him. His lentic finger started to sound the guqin back but the tone sounded softer than before. Guqin voices were heard throughout the fighting arena. The tornado fire slowly shrank as if awestruck at the softness of Yu Ming's guqin tone.

Mu Jin prepared with full force darting apart the fire tornado pointed his sword at Yu Ming's neck. The thin sword collided with Yu Ming's guqin causing a clash of strength to be felt in the arena of the match.

Yu Ming had anticipated previously seeing Mu Jin's diversion strategy. Their strength seemed to be balanced in the eyes of everyone but not in the eyes of a careful person including Emperor Wu.

The tone played by Yu Ming earlier was that of all tranquilizers which meant that both his human muscles as well as his nerves would weaken slowly according to the timeliness that Yu Ming desired.

"My body. "inner Mu Jin.

Yu Ming surged his strength abruptly turning his guqin into a fan originally slashing at Mu Jin's neck.

Mu Jin retreated feeling the pain on his neck from Yu Ming's fan incision. His body was weak under the influence of Yu Ming's tranquilizing tone.

"Li Mu Jin gave up! "

"The winner is Bai Yu Ming! "

Bai Yu Ming walked out of the match area after finishing his fight. Huo Ling Er's turn advanced to the arena of the match.

The opponent of Ling Er was Hu Jiang Su from the Hu residence. Jiang Su attacked first, with just a touch of Ling Er's finger on his sword, the sword that had previously been to smash apart with Jiang Su bounced out of the match arena.

The cultivation of the saint woman was great with strict requirements as well as the price to be paid with the great strength achieved.

"Lin Huang against Wei Qian Ahn! "

Lin Huang entered the arena of the match did not carry any weapons nor did Qian Ahn.

"Why are they silent, shouldn't they be fighting? " ask one of the spectators.

Huo Ling Er stared at the fierce fight on their respective souls. Qian Ahn has a heart cultivation path against Lin Huang's soul cultivation. The path taken by Qian Ahn was similar to soul cultivation.

Lin Huang struggled against Qian Ahn who entered heart cultivation and trained her perfectly. Swallowing, pushing until it kills each other's souls.

Lin Huang regained his senses then coughed out fresh blood. Everyone thought he lost but the host had not announced the results.

"Soul is the key of soul cultivation, the calmness of the flowing water the wind roaring the river gathered into one whole soul force filling the empty space of the body, "inner Lin Huang.

Lin Huang's dantian filled every vein, coursing soul power throughout the body and condensing qi energy into his dantian as a replenishment of lost soul power.

The healing of wounds in the body is rapid. The dantian vortex was increasingly fast as the black hole absorbed all the power to enter his body. Qian Ahn looked at Lin Huang's entire body enveloped by soul force.

"True soul practice, "said the 7th elder.

The vortex was created behind Lin Huang accompanied by two palms covered in fire which were then put together to emit a flame tongue.

"Fire purifying the soul! " shouted Lin Huang.

The whirlpool of souls issuing a soul pressure shattered the defenses of the heart cultivation prison belonging to Qian Ahn along with crimson flames radiating across his body.

"Technique the heart without dying! " said Qian Ahn

The light blue vortex poked behind Qian Ahn one of his best techniques he put out. A heart without death technique that uses the feeling of the heart as its source of power. Living without feeling affection but not dying like an undead. Legend has it that the path of heart cultivation was created by a God who suffered a broken heart due to his love that was not sanctioned by nature.

The six chapters of the silent dead heart silk book are the legacy of Lord Liang Shi that guides the entire user of the path of heart cultivation. Yet the fall of Lord Liang Shi is only two chapters out of the six chapters that can be discovered by humans. The first chapter is the silence of the heart which has three sub-chapters with its flagship technique of pure heart despair and the second chapter has five sub-chapters containing techniques including the technique of the heart without death.

Qian Ahn's body let out a tranquilizing air like what Yu Ming had done before. The flames that wrapped around his body slowly loosened as well as the temperature that dropped drastically.

"Similar to soul cultivation, it's just that it suppresses and regulates all emotions feelings into strength" said Lin Huang.

A sense of despair and helplessness invaded Lin Huang's soul. The sea of soul consciousness was disturbed, Lin Huang's soul foundation was still weak compared to Qian Ahn.

"this feeling.... "

Qian Ahn created a sword from her soul energy one of the techniques that manipulated the feeling of emotion into something more useful that could be used as a weapon.

"This feeling...."

Qian Ahn held her sword utilizing her careless attitude of Lin Huang to attack.

"His technique controls the emotions of the enemy in order to disrupt his soul power, it is not easy for a person to escape from this technique because humans must have feelings. One of the advantages of cultivating the heart, "inner to the 7th elder.

The tip of the sword was a few cents away from Lin Huang's face, swinging the sword preparing to attack from close range.

"I have to fight!!"

"BOMMMM!!! "

Qian Ahn retreated just in time after realizing the danger. His eyes showed a surprised glint seeing Lin Huang could escape from his technique.

Qian Ahn stared back at Lin Huang making sure what happened just now was just a low illusion technique. Their two eyes met, Lin Huang uttered the name Qian Ahn slowly.

Both Qian Ahn's hands and feet were tied, Lin Huang as the host greeted her calmly.

"You are now living in my own sea of consciousness, I have the right to do whatever I want" said Lin Huang.

"The Wei family's generation is not a weakling! " said Qian Ahn firmly.

The chains that bind him do not hurt him, just move like a snake that is playing around scaring its prey.

"Young master is too emotional, I know the leader of the Wei family is a war veteran, " replied Lin Huang.

Qian Ahn ignored every rant that came out of Lin Huang's mouth focusing herself chanting incantations to destroy the chains that bound her.

"Why are they silent?"

Lou Shi looked at the match as if he had stopped knowing that the match was actually happening to Lin Huang's sea of soul consciousness. Princess Hua Lin looked at Lin Huang from a distance, showing an expression unreadable to anyone but her own father.

"You're interested in him?" ask Emperor Wu.

Princess Hua Lin shook her head, "She stands out too much, her background needs to be investigated"

The emperor agreed with Hua Lin's daughter and ordered the hidden bodyguards to search for Lin Huang's identity.

"You won't be able to escape except at my command, "said Lin Huang.

Lin Huang clenched his finger making his soul flow envelop Qian Ahn's body. Green meadows are visible throughout the eye.

"Where? "

"Sister! "

"Who? "

The little girl approached Qian Ahn giving her white flowers. The iron chain suddenly tied the body of the little boy then pulled him away from Qian Ahn.

"XIAO LING!! "

The meadow grounds turned into a bloody landscape dotted around the Imperial palace.

"RETURN MY SISTER!!! "

Qian Ahn ran after her sister who was getting away ignoring the scenery around her. Destroying every obstacle that came his way was intent on hugging Xiao Ling.

Qian Ahn's hand grabbed onto Xiao Ling's body before a dazzling beam of light entered into her eyes. His breathing roared at the events he had always regretted for his entire life. The sword stuck to his neck made him look up.

"You lost, " said Lin Huang.

"The last match winner was Lin Huang!! " say the show host.

"Since his sister's death, he took the path of heart cultivation. Soaking up all the common feelings and choosing to be human without feeling, " said Princess Hua Lin.

"He was a gifted man on the path of heart cultivation among his generation" Emperor Wu said.

"Darkness will always be everywhere including in the heart. Light the darkness with fire, or white light, " said the Empress.

"The mother has sharp eyes" said Emperor Wu.

"Lin'er, come closer" said Emperor Wu.

Emperor Wu placed his hand on Princess Hua Lin's thigh.

"You're getting pretty, "praise Emperor Wu.
