extensive mountain range, much of the cold wind is blocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Great Wei is cold, the cold is still bearable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, after crossing this mountain range, within Qianyang Country’s borders, it is noticeably colder than Great Wei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Currently, it is late autumn, and the leaves within Great Wei are withered, teetering on the edge of falling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But over here, the trees that shed leaves in winter were already bare and bald.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Han looked far into the distance, observing that within the borders of Qianyang Country, there were still plenty of green plants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Probably those trees that shed leaves easily couldn’t endure here either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finding an open space on the mountain, Shen Han sat down and pulled out the map Liu Xilan gave him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A line of gray small words emerged on the map, [Rough Map]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This entry was quite accurate; the contents of the map were truly rough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gathering Qi, extract!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After extracting the [Rough] map, the originally scant few strokes on the map instantly became much more detailed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The previously marked positions on the map were also more detailed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to the map, he should continue westward, passing through a valley, and then head northwest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without further ado, Shen Han began descending the mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within Qianyang Country’s borders, the terrain is more mountainous, making the journey more arduous than in Great Wei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, as this is, after all, a different country, he, as a foreigner, must be cautious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Utilizing the Lonely Wind Snow-Treading Step, he manipulated Qi to move forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The descent didn’t take long, but Shen Han unexpectedly found that a considerable number of people had come over the mountain range from Great Wei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Below the mountain range, a small marketplace had even formed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Han frowned slightly, glanced at the market a few more times, but didn’t plan to stop, and continued heading westward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the sky darkened, he found a place to stop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Han deliberately avoided the main road while traveling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His strength was still insufficient, and encountering people in the wilderness was instead a dangerous affair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the moonlight, Shen Han began practicing the techniques he had currently mastered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Shen Mansion, most technique practice was improved through visualization.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Out of the Shen Mansion, out of Yun’an City, Shen Han could finally wield his techniques freely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He tightly gripped the Soft Sword in his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sunset’s afterglow, sword cleaves the haze!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The sea stands amidst the mountains, the river lights up at sunset!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sunset Sword Formulas\" were the sword techniques Shen Han was most proficient in; when the sword technique was wielded, sword qi extended over ten meters, and the trees were all cut evenly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately after, Shen Han infused Misty Sword Intent into the Sunset Sword Formulas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Virtual and real were fully expressed, one sword sweeping away the cool autumn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sword shadows flickered; under this profound sword intent, it seemed as if a hundred techniques were unleashed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the moonlit night, behind the sword shadows, there was only a single sword mark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While it appeared to be a hundred sword shadows, in reality, only one strike was genuine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rest, seemingly ferocious and magnificent sword shadows, were merely deceptive maneuvers meant to mislead the eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the surrounding sword marks, Shen Han felt quite satisfied with his current strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least, when facing enemies, he had the ability to maneuver.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having practiced both the sword techniques and sword intent, Shen Han took a deep breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His most powerful card at the moment was the terrifyingly powerful Celestial Dao Sword Momentum.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After months of visualization training, his spiritual power had improved significantly, and he wondered what he could achieve now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gathering his mental focus, Shen Han began to try to use the Celestial Dao Sword Momentum.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ten Thousand Swords Trapping Dragon Momentum!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a low murmur, the long sword in his hand flew out, instantly splitting into multiple sword shadows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sword shadows slightly trembled, and the shadows further split into more shadows!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within moments, over a hundred sword shadows appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the starry moonlit night, the sword shadows flickered with a silvery glow, revealing a thread of killing intent within the light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Han gritted his teeth, controlling the sword shadows to stop increasing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Celestial Dao Sword Momentum was truly terrifying, and even though he was the one wielding it, he could feel the overwhelming pressure of the sword momentum.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a flick of the finger, a sword shadow instantly thrust out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he had seen in his visualizations, this sword shadow was as swift and terrifying, and under the same strength, one would find it impossible to evade its attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his visualization, Shen Han had died many times under this move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though wielding it himself didn’t make it as terrifying as in the visualizations, it was still incredibly powerful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After executing a sword shadow, Shen Han quickly withdrew his focus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sword shadow disappeared, and his Soft Sword fell to the ground, drained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the Celestial Dao Sword Momentum was extremely powerful, capable of battling across Grade ranks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the consumption of spiritual power was simply too great.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite the recent visualization of the Celestial Dao Sword Momentum and the extraction of entries, his spiritual power had increased a lot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not a few Scholar Cultivators are much stronger than him in terms of spiritual power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even so, summoning a hundred sword shadows left Shen Han feeling his spiritual power was severely drained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sitting on the open ground, he felt slightly dizzy and giddy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his current strength, the Celestial Dao Sword Momentum was better suited as a finishing move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If one move failed, he would likely be defeated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His body tired, Shen Han decided not to continue cultivating for improvement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, this is within Qianyang Country’s borders, and being alone outside, he couldn’t afford to deplete all his energy and strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He found a rather tall tree and spent the night on its branches, which was better than being on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As dawn slightly broke, Shen Han got up and continued on his journey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to the map, he should head west and then turn northwest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He rested halfway until around 3:00 PM when Shen Han finally reached the small town marked on the map.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The map indicated that he could rest in this town and proceed another thirty miles when ready.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The town was bustling with people, something Shen Han hadn’t expected for a small town within Qianyang Country’s borders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were many people walking on the streets, and numerous shops selling various goods as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This place seemed livelier than many small towns in Great Wei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, seeing so many people and frequent patrols by officers in uniforms added a sense of security.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Entering the town, Shen Han planned to find an inn to stay for the night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Staying outside made it hard to rest well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After walking around the town’s streets, Shen Han increasingly felt something odd about this town.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, it’s a small town within Qianyang Country’s borders, but the pedestrians’ attire distinctly belonged to Great Wei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Shen Han looked around, many pedestrians were holding weapons that seemed quite fine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the very least, they were all of blue-grade, with some weapons being of purple-grade entries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To afford weapons of such quality, these people must hold significant status in Great Wei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Shen Han became even more vigilant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, it’s a remote small town, yet why are so many experts and powerful individuals from Great Wei gathering here...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it be that they are all here for the Advanced Cultivation Technique?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this question in mind, Shen Han continued searching for an inn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After searching around, there was surprisingly only one inn in the entire town.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though there was only this one inn, it appeared quite luxurious, and it was large, with plenty of guest rooms.\u003C\u002Fp>",1324,"2026-05-29T03:00:29.668Z","2026-06-01T04:29:01.835Z",1,"novelbin.me","2f579ed3ea7e41ff3d673bd29122331dd25a2ea23988954d7a18e10d4d2da8dd","engagement-canceled-i-can-extract-prefixes-chapter-46","engagement-canceled-i-can-extract-prefixes-chapter-44",546,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fengagement-canceled-i-can-extract-prefixes-cover.jpg"]
