[A.B.P.P.E.] Bk 2 - Chapter 76 - Distracted by Brilliance

Da Ruis looked back toward the camp where the majority of the Hu Clan currently rested. Fraternizing with lesser beings that would not have been worthy of kissing his boots as an outer court member of such a prestigious clan, much less act high and mighty before the single most powerful being on this dump of a world. The Patriarch was eccentric in ways that no one could understand. 

Which fit the bill. 

All ancient, extremely dangerous beings were oddly quirky. 

[A.B.P.P.E.] Bk 2 - Chapter 75 - Murder-Hobo Tendencies

The tension in the air would have been palpable had there been any actual threat to Yin Hu and crew. 

He stared at the gathering forces around him, wondering whether he should just end the entire fight. Yet, the opportunity to provide this as a real life battle experience for his girls was too good to pass. They would likely never encounter another situation where they were so outnumbered, but were under no danger of actually fighting an enemy they could not beat. 

Jun a...

[A.B.P.P.E.] Bk 2 - Chapter 74 - Testing Boundries

Yin Hu and crew stayed with the caravan for the next few days. Never once separating long enough for anyone to give them a greeting without a second finding them immediately. He did not trust them at all.

Zhong Da continued to draw out conversations with Jin Bao and any other person that was willing to speak for more information. It was a blessing and a curse that the fat cultivator was so loquacious and took any opportunity provided to speak himself up. The curse being that it took nea...

[A.B.P.P.E.] Bk 2 - Chapter 73 - Means of Production

Yin Hu and the rest of the group sat around a campfire with chairs that had been brought out by Jin Bao. Ostentatious pieces of furniture that had gold inlaid into the design with the largest, most over the top throne for the fat cultivator himself. 

He shifted again, finding it the most uncomfortable thing he had ever had the misfortune of resting on. 

Not only was it hard, it seemed to stick into his lower back with something sharp and made his chest hurt for some odd ...

[A.B.P.P.E.] Bk 2 - Chapter 72 - Role on the Playing Board

Zhong Da flicked the coin toward the cultivator that had come to bother them. “I expect my change at the end of this journey.”

He knew well enough in the world of the Neutral Bloc, presentation and wealth were more important than anything else except pure power. Even then, a vastly rich merchant slightly weaker than another slightly less rich cultivator would be favored in most situations in their societal dynamics. 

That meant his actions had to be tailored in c...

[A.B.P.P.E.] Bk 2 - Chapter 71 - Hustler Talk

“Welcome! Welcome to the Caravan of the one and only Jin Bao,” Jin Bao walked toward them, shouting in a boisterous voice that was nothing like the normal one he had just used a few seconds ago. The fat man fell into his merchant persona without a hitch, shedding the scantily clad women and extending his arms out in a warm gesture. “I am the aforementioned Jin Bao. Merchant King under the purview of the Merchant Emperor of the Numb Hand’s Pavilion. To whom do I owe the honor of your v...

[A.B.P.P.E.] Bk 2 - Chapter 70 - Fat Men and Vital Operations

“In the name of the Numb Hand’s Pavilion, I said halt!” the armored man shouted again. 

Two other men wearing armor with considerably less metal rushed to get behind the knight. Each one held a spear banner of the pale blue background and white, open palm, pointing them at Yin Hu and the smaller sized crew. The rest of the caravan’s protection began to mobilize though a lot slower.

Yin Hu hid the small smile that spread across his face. He was grateful for the giant b...

Update 11/16/25

Hey! Its update time!

Update 1 -

First and foremost, I should hit 110k today for ancient being. Thats 60k in the past 3 weeks! I'll release another chapter today for the promised 2 a day!

Secondarily, you may or may not know but there have been large changes to the reviews/ratings on Amazon. They are purging and removing a lot of ratings without giving anyone a full explanation why.

Meaning: ARC reviews are far more valuable to prevent trolls and serial haters of a...

[A.B.P.P.E.] Bk 2 - Chapter 69 - Lack of War

Yin Hu had expected a lot more once they cleared the initial areas surrounding the Bleak Forests. There should have been people, anyone at all. Cultivators flying around in groups with weapons at the ready and ‘attack and then apologize’ commands. Everyone had told him about the thousand year war and how all the cultivators would be up in arms at anyone or anything that looked remotely different or unrecognizable. 

He had expected sirens to blare the moment they arrive...

Cover 2 is done!

Ebook cover 2 is done! It looks amazing! Both Ino and GiaPhoc have out done themselves time and again.

[A.B.P.P.E.] Bk 2 - Chapter 68 - Righteous Bloc Finally

Yin Hu forced the group to increase their pace until they finally broke through the final stretches of the Bleak Forests and into a new world entirely. They stepped out of the thick foliage into a clearing that was identical to the one they had passed when entering from the Demonic Bloc’s side. Ten meters wide and stretched over the entire border until it dipped past the horizon.

The ambience of the air, trees, plants, and everything else made the difference crystal ...

[A.B.P.P.E.] Bk 2 - Chapter 67 - Changes and Anxiety

Meng Li sat at the peak of the mountain she had been living on for the past couple months. Her eyes closed, letting the ambience and heat of the sun beam upon her form. The wind snapped around her, but never got close enough to touch her. Breaking a few feet in front and joining together behind her.

It’s changed. Everything is different?

She couldn’t make heads or tails of the situation. How does an entire planet transform its Qi ether so thoroughly?

The differe...

[A.B.P.P.E.] Bk 2 - Chapter 66 - What Do I Want?

The party stopped to stare at Yin Hu, awaiting his final decision and the path they would tailor everything to go toward. 

Yin Hu’s entire plan to help develop Jun’s leadership had nearly backfired and was quickly shown why it was not the wisest decision due to simple dynamics he hadn’t really considered. It only proved the importance of having people like Zhong Da and Da Ruis within his Hu Clan to help him with these things. They understood the nuances of existing in a world...

[A.B.P.P.E.] Bk 2 - Chapter 65 - Zhong Da Thinks Once More

“Jun,” Yin Hu said to pause her. She turned around with sweat beading down her forehead. “Da Ruis? You have something to say?”

The old ghost flinched. “I… No, Patriarch.”

Yin Hu frowned. He needed them to be good advisers to Jun and Shui when he wasn’t around. Having them go mute just because it would likely go against what he wanted even though it may be a better course of action would only limit what they could offer his girls. He couldn’t have them be ‘Yes M...

[A.B.P.P.E.] Bk 2 - Chapter 64 - First Hu Clan Meeting

Yin Hu didn’t move from his spot until the flying stag completely disappeared into the horizon. No white, eerie fog remnant or anything else that would indicate that it may have tried to trick him into thinking it left. This included surveying the entire area with his perception skill multiple times in case an illusion had been activated or an array had been set up where they had settled into. 

Only when he was positive there was nothing did he turn back to the collected Hu Clan....

[A.B.P.P.E.] Bk 2 - Chapter 63 - Speeding Up and Strange Things

As unexpected as it was to Yin Hu and the rest of the Hu Clan, the rest of the journey had been relatively quiet. 

No more attacks and attempted plots to kill Zhong Da and his wife by white furred bunnies. No more kidnapping attempts on Jun and Shui. Nor was there anything that had bothered Rong and Da Ruis enough to go out and scout or study as they continued to push through the forest and toward their final destination; the Neutral Bloc masquerading as the Righteous ...
