"It's nothing. It's just that... I suddenly felt like farting just now, uh... but since Senior you were right in front of me, I was embarrassed, so I held it in with all my might..." William Carter gave Charles Stone a meaningful look and said earnestly.

"Uh..." Charles Stone's expression changed, and he said awkwardly, "Well... that must have been uncomfortable..." For a moment, he didn't know how to respond—should he tell him to just let it out... or keep holding it in...

Neither option seemed appropriate...

On the side, Henry Turner let out a snort of laughter, but then felt it was out of place and didn't dare to laugh out loud. Plus, his unique voice made the sound of his laughter actually resemble a muffled fart...

Charles Stone felt a wave of nausea and almost threw up.

William Carter secretly laughed in his heart. He seemed to feel that his own mindset was quietly changing, becoming somewhat different from his previous life...

All the regrets now had a chance to be remedied. Naturally, his mindset became more uplifted and calm.

In his previous life, he only obtained the tip of the Nine Tribulations Sword four years later. And throughout his life, he never knew that the Nine Tribulations Sword actually had a sword soul!

Step by step, as he walked toward the houses in the Purple Bamboo Grove, William Carter's thoughts seemed to be continuously transforming along the way.

With every step closer to that house that existed only in his memory, he felt his soul tremble once, and then a brand new mood and insight would rise from his heart. Gradually, his heart became filled with longing.

In that house was his master! The person he respected most in his life!

Since he had returned to the age of sixteen, whether it was reincarnation or something else, he was no longer that Poison Sword Martial Lord! Now, he was William Carter, a young man! A frail youth!

Before he grew strong, on this continent, there were countless people who could kill him! If he still considered himself a martial lord in his heart, but his strength didn't match, then he would die very quickly...

Only William Carter knew that a Martial Lord might be impressive in the Lower Three Heavens, but upon reaching the Middle Three Heavens, he would be somewhat restricted and need to act cautiously. And when it came to the Upper Three Heavens...

It was nothing special!

Only by forgetting all the glory of his previous life and starting over, step by step, continuously climbing to the peak, was the right path! So, the first step was to become the senior brother among the inner disciples of Tianwai Tower in the shortest time, enter the Land of Seven Yin, and obtain the first segment of the Nine Tribulations Sword's tip!

The path of this life, as far as he could imagine, would definitely be far more exciting than his previous one!

The three of them stopped at the same time—they had already arrived at the Purple Bamboo Garden. Looking at the few houses that existed only in memory, William Carter's eyes shone with intense emotion. He couldn't help but stop, feeling a tidal wave of emotion surging in his heart, uncontrollable for a moment!

Chapter Five: Heaven and Earth Unmoved, the River Flows and the Stone Remains!

Tianwai Tower, nine peaks and one garden. The tenth-generation top ten disciples of Tianwai Tower each presided over one; Yunlai Peak, Yunwu Peak, Yunmiao Peak, Yunkai Peak, Juyun Peak, Suoyun Peak, Mengyun Peak, Henyun Peak, Tayun Peak, and the Purple Bamboo Garden.

Juyun Peak was where the sect leader Samuel Black resided, and was the main peak among the nine. The one garden was the Purple Bamboo Garden where William Carter was. Among the nine peaks and one garden, the scenery of the Purple Bamboo Garden was the most beautiful, but its resources were the poorest of the nine.

The master of the Purple Bamboo Garden, James Bennett, was the youngest among the top ten disciples, naturally indifferent and unambitious. He never competed with his nine senior brothers and, in his life, only took in three disciples: Charles Stone, William Carter, and Henry Turner.

Except for Charles Stone, whom he accepted out of obligation, both William Carter and Henry Turner were orphans picked up by James Bennett.

In every generation, the top ten disciples were selected from among the inner disciples, each becoming the leader of one of the nine peaks or the garden. Among the top ten disciples, the Senior was the future head of Tianwai Tower, reigning over Juyun Peak.

Whether in terms of spiritual medicine resources or the density of spiritual energy, Juyun Peak was the best among the nine.

For the position of these top ten disciples, the disciples of the nine peaks and one garden had been competing for hundreds of years; everyone trained desperately for these ten spots. Under such motivation and pressure, the cultivation of Tianwai Tower's disciples advanced by leaps and bounds.

This world was called the Nine Heavens Continent. Tianwai Tower was located in the Lower Three Heavens. Also known as the "Lower Heaven Continent," in the eyes of ordinary people, there were several mysterious places in the Lower Heaven Continent, shrouded in mist all year round, where neither people nor animals, not even birds, could approach.

Only some highly skilled martial artists knew that those were the entrances to ascend from the Lower Three Heavens to the Middle Three Heavens.

In the Middle Three Heavens, there were also such mysterious places—the entrances to the Upper Three Heavens!

To enter, one must possess power that transcends the world they are in!

The Nine Heavens Continent, as the name suggests, was vast beyond measure. From east to west, its length was unknown; from south to north, there was no record of how far it stretched. Boundless and endless!

On this vast continent, there were countless legends and myths, passed down from generation to generation. Since ancient times, there had been countless emperors and generals, and heroes emerged in endless succession.
