My Two-sided Cultivation: Starting From Collecting Experiences

500 Heavenly Eagle Sect
At the base of the Heavenly Eagle Sect, corpse qi filled the sky and a heap of skeletons silently scattered around the foot of the mountain.

Blood formed a thick stream, appearing as if it was carving out a protective moat around the mountain. It was clear that this place had seen endless fierce battles and had finally turned into its present state.

In the sky, massive eagle creatures circled and screeched. On the mountain slope, a bunch of warriors dressed in brown robes stared with their eagle-like eyes, a chilling coldness in their gaze.

The group was led by a tall, young man. Many fighters looked at the young man, a sense of fear unwillingly creeping into their eyes.

“Who is he? He can hold back dozens of us single-handedly.” A martial artist nursing a broken arm had a mix of greed and fear in his eyes. Holding his broken arm, he pushed it against the fracture. Shortly after, a surge of blood spurted from the wound and stitched it up.

“That guy is Ma Dongfa, a young man who suddenly became prominent in the Heavenly Eagle Sect. No, he didn’t show any significant abilities before the blood sea era. He was a low-ranking member of the Heavenly Eagle Sect.

“But, since the Heavenly Eagle Sect allied with the Sacred Heart Sect, in only a few short months, Ma Dongfa climbed the ranks and became the pride of the sect’s younger generation. In fact, he’s almost reached the visceral prefecture realm.”

In a few sentences, everyone had uncovered all of Ma Dongfa’s past. They gazed at him with a mix of fear and admiration.

“He’s a native of Qingzhou City. He grew up in a humble alley and in poverty. It’s quite an inspiring tale of how he got to where he is now.”

“Who cares about that? As long as we conquer him, we can live forever and ascend to the ultimate realm!”

Everyone’s eyes were fiery. Clearly, their vision had been clouded by the allure of blood and rapid progress. In just a few months, they felt like they’d been training for years, decades, or even longer. This sensation drove them to insanity.

“You lot really don’t know what’s best for you.” Ma Dongfa observed them coldly. “Do you believe that the Holy Church’s leader restricts us from leaving the mountain for our protection? No, no, no…” He shook his finger. “That’s because the lords of the Sacred Heart Sect pity you. In the eyes of our sect, you’re all insignificant, just stray dogs on the street. I can eliminate you anytime!”

A cold sparkle appeared in Ma Dongfa’s eyes. The next moment, a flying feather covered dozens of meters in an instant and pierced an expert straight through.

“Just like that,” Ma Dongfa said casually.
“That’s Tu Guyu, a fearsome warrior and a fourth-level bone pattern realm expert. He was really defeated by Ma Dongfa in just one move?”

Everyone immediately felt a chill run down their spine. The eldest brother of the Heavenly Eagle Sect was incredibly powerful.

“I believe… even if we bring out those so-called elites of the Qingzhou Alliance who only dare to lurk in the shadows like street rats, they’d still be no match for Ma Dongfa.”

At the base of the mountain, exclamations filled the air. They were once again stunned by Ma Dongfa’s formidable skills, and they began to reconsider whether they should continue their assault on this mountain gate.

“Qingzhou Alliance?” A scornful smirk appeared on Ma Dongfa’s face. “When I was young, I admired those rats, thinking they were strong. But now… they’ve stooped so low that they only dare to carry out assassinations. They’re not worthy of being called prodigies. They’re a disgrace to true prodigies!”

Ma Dongfa’s confidence was obvious. If he had the chance to face those people, he would certainly use his fists to show them. Times have indeed changed.

Everyone went silent, and many had already started to discreetly retreat. Tu Guyu’s death had made them aware of the huge gap between them. There were certain things that couldn’t be understood by simply observing mountains of corpses and seas of blood. Only by seeing with one’s own eyes would it be real.

And then…

They saw a figure moving against the current, walking toward the Heavenly Eagle Sect at a leisurely pace.

“How dare you? Die!” A man behind Ma Dongfa leaped up and surprisingly flew over ten meters in the air. He wielded a serrated longsword and brought it crashing down.

Bang!

A solid gust of wind materialized in the air, stopping both the sword and its wielder. The man’s hands shook slightly, but he couldn’t move further.

Whoosh!

A brown feather whizzed through the sky. With a clanging sound, sparks flew, but the gentle breeze still wouldn’t let it pass.

“Interesting.” Ma Dongfa looked at the feathers blocking his way and instead of anger, he felt amusement. “These weaklings are really boring. They don’t pique my interest at all.”

He licked his lips, and in the next moment, he disappeared from his spot. A piercing cold light sliced through the air in a flash, a nimble sword tracing an arc in the sky. It seemed aimed at the temple of the young man in black, but in reality, it was pointed straight at the forehead.

Slash!

Brilliant sparks erupted, narrowly missing the man’s face. Sparks danced as if they could explode into the man’s eyes at any second.

However, the handsome man didn’t even blink, completely ignoring the surrounding hostile crowd and Ma Dongfa. The latter’s nimble sword aligned step by step with the man’s pace.

“Arrogant!” Ma Dongfa exclaimed coldly. “Your shield may block one sword, but what about dozens of swords?!”

In the air, dozens of cold lights suddenly darted toward the man.
