Hung Siu spent his time cultivating quietly, and one sudden day, he overcame the boundary and emerged as a five-chambered cultivator, leaving the entire city bewildered.
Having a strong bond, Hung Leung was genuinely glad for his elder brother. He was not jealous in the slightest and even suggested Hung Siu become the next clan leader without hesitation.221Please respect copyright.PENANAGAONoVB4zX
It was important to know that, in Great Wisdom City, the position of Hung Clan leader was equivalent to Great Wisdom City’s mayor and owner. Yet, Hung Leung let go of the position willingly, and Hung Siu did not have his own family so he treated Hung Leung’s son as his own, passing down his martial arts techniques and gliphilities to them.221Please respect copyright.PENANAT5avd4VtXI
Hung Siu’s gaze subconsciously landed on the blurry figures on the silver screen. With his cultivation, he could naturally tell who the figures were.
“I’m more interested in the Cloud Palace Itinerants’ performance. Cloud Palace is said to be best at creating miracles, and if both of them manage to decode the secret that nobody has succeeded in for centuries…”

Eighteen silver fish followed Hung Ching Sun around, and he handled the situation with ease, advancing and retreating when he needed to. Hung Ching Sun was not in a hurry to defeat the fish, instead he kept looking around as if he was searching for something.
As somebody who had participated in the festival for seven years, he was more than familiar with the process. But what he wanted was not to simply make it through.221Please respect copyright.PENANA6G1BOR7nvd
The Heavenly Illusion was named as such since everything that appeared was just an illusion. The waterfall was just like a volcano, erupting with the energy that it had stored for a year, and the silver fish were fake, just products of the energy. Thus, the fish around him would only grow in number.221Please respect copyright.PENANA1Q7FGGX5KZ
To most participants, the fish represented their level.221Please respect copyright.PENANAG5WmyqpbCs
It started from nine fish, then eighteen, and it increased by multiples of nine. Every nine fish represented a stage, and the more fish one was able to take down, the higher their level would be. Whichever level the participant ended up with, they would be allowed to cultivate at the corresponding level of the waterfall.221Please respect copyright.PENANAUtrxhP9NXM
But as the direct descendant of the Hung Clan, there was no need for Hung Ching Sun to fight for the right to cultivate at the waterfall; the waterfall was as good as the clan’s backyard, so he could enter anytime he wished.221Please respect copyright.PENANAFakXHum1Zj
Hung Ching Sun was searching for the secret hidden in the Heavenly Illusion.221Please respect copyright.PENANAwny7iUfGNm
The secret of the Heavenly Illusion was a legend in Great Wisdom City. Only cultivators below the two-chambered state were allowed in the illusion, and after hundreds of festivals that were held, there was long news of cultivators sensing or sighting that something was hidden in the illusion. Some said it was a passage that led to the next level of the illusion, while there were also those saying how there were precious treasures or martial arts skills hidden in the illusion.
No matter what, it remained undiscovered for the past several centuries.221Please respect copyright.PENANACIeIEH7drv
This legend lacked substance though, as some people said they sensed it during the first stage while there was a talent saying how he only felt it when he was in the fifth stage, battling forty-five fish. The moment he felt it, he lost his focus and was defeated by the fish, which caused him to be sent out of the illusion.221Please respect copyright.PENANAlg0BDRes5f
Thus, there were no accurate statistics about it.221Please respect copyright.PENANAY9IhWN74l7
But Hung Ching Sun came across the same situation. Last year, he somehow felt that there was something calling to him in the illusion when he reached the fourth stage. He searched hard but to no avail and left with unwillingness in the end.221Please respect copyright.PENANAETO3SFm1a7
Some might be filled with questions in their mind. What exactly was the Heavenly Silver Waterfall? It was a forbidden area, and yet cultivators above the two-chambered state weren’t allowed inside? Well, technically they were, but this had become a natural rule of the forbidden area: cultivators above the two-chambered state who ignored the rule and headed in would be greeted by nine illusions of grade-four gliphic beasts instead of cute silver fish. Even if the cultivator managed to pass the first stage, there would be eighteen grade-four gliphic beasts waiting for him at the next stage.221Please respect copyright.PENANAhREsqzeLyQ
Forbidden areas were terrifying, and the secrets hidden inside would no doubt be precious… The thought of this fueled Hung Ching Sun. After making sure that he didn’t feel anything calling for him at this stage, he turned serious and sent a punch out, destroying all eighteen fish with his punch!221Please respect copyright.PENANAOVX2UHZ6LP
At the same time, twenty-seven whirlpools appeared silently.

All participants of the Silver Waterfall Festival were capable cultivators who could pass the first stage at least. The stage might only have consisted of nine fish, but defeating nine almost-grade-one gliphic beasts in one go was not something that all two-chambered or one-gliphic state cultivators could do.221Please respect copyright.PENANA2ugqf5rO1Z
Every participant was an elite of their generation in the city.221Please respect copyright.PENANAPOFgZRxjZ8
Hung Koh and Hung Si Yuen had already passed the second stage, while Hung Ching Sun only defeated half of the twenty-seven fish in the third stage. Hung Siu could tell that his nephew was purposely dragging it out to see if he could sense the treasure’s calling.221Please respect copyright.PENANA1OdWpnvVSm
However, his eyes lit up when he saw the two teenagers at the side.221Please respect copyright.PENANALSmLRZRmJT
It was not Chui Yim that amazed him. Hung Siu was similarly a glipher, so he could guess how far Chui Yim could go despite the teen being a monster. Kam Chin Kee was the one that surprised him. The teen had his hands behind his back but was surrounded by silver strings, and there were three animals moving around him.221Please respect copyright.PENANAiCBOYaN6xV
The three animals were his puppets, Blue Wolf, Red Bird, and Yellow Bee.221Please respect copyright.PENANAGFUXSvPSXj
Kam Chin Kee created a new technique in this world with his puppetry. The rumor of him being Craftsman Kam was all over the place, and many organisations researched his puppetry skills.221Please respect copyright.PENANAl3EZhM1XJY
However, nobody had mimicked him successfully.221Please respect copyright.PENANAevF2WYye80
Kam Chin Kee made it look easy, but he needed dozens of strings to control the puppets for them to act in unpredictable ways. The loss of a single string would result in a loss of agility and power.221Please respect copyright.PENANAzSdI6hw98B
Currently, Kam Chin Kee was standing in the illusion calmly, as if there were many invisible hands controlling his puppets for him. He cleared twenty-seven fish with his puppets and made it to the fourth stage; how fast was he?

After four years in Cloud Palace, not only had Chui Yim improved drastically, but Kam Chin Kee too.221Please respect copyright.PENANANWk4SwjUv6
Before Chui Yim picked up Flowing July Flame, he never once defeated Kam Chin Kee in any spar because the other had already created his personal gliph, Genesis.221Please respect copyright.PENANASUTdgKqhdK
This was the gliph that Kam Chin Kee used to save Lee Bak during the Cloud Palace enrollment.221Please respect copyright.PENANAaanOjztNKl
Genesis was used to create extremely thin gliph strings through special methods.
Gliph strings were not actual items, just a result of the connection of mental strength and heaven and earth energy. But through the Genesis Gliph that Kam Chin Kee created, the gliph strings could transform into an existence between reality and illusion. The intent to create something from nothing – Genesis. Now, Kam Chin Kee did not need strings to control his puppets; instead, he just used the Genesis Gliph to do so.221Please respect copyright.PENANArf3br9ru29
Kam Chin Kee went into the Heavenly Silver Waterfall with no prior knowledge, but dealing with group enemies was his speciality to start with.221Please respect copyright.PENANAnz2SnLcDQO
Boom boom boom…221Please respect copyright.PENANARqgWK3jiJT
Blue Wolf’s scary face opened from the sides, and numerous poisonous needles shot out, making five silver fish disappear in an instant. Kam Chin Kee stood in the middle with three puppets at three of his sides.
The surrounding fish all disappeared, replaced by forty-five silver whirlpools now.
