Things have escalated.
Su Daji had been powerful but not beyond his ability to deal with. That was the conclusion Liu Jin came to after their first few exchanges. Subduing her without doing any serious harm to Su An’s body had seemed, while not easy, at least somewhat feasible.
Now, Liu Jin’s aura flares violently as he produces countless snakes to fight Su Daji’s foxes. Their creations cancel each other out as multiple explosions rock the room, but the difference ...

Q: What are your favorite stories or stories you would recommend? Cultivation or otherwise. They can be from any medium.
Cultivation-wise, Virtuous Sons is a definite recommendation from me. Moving away from that, I really enjoy manga. Berserk, Naruto, and Houshin Engi are names off the top of my head. Also, School Rumble. Also also, not manga, but the original Lee/Ditko run of Amazing Spider-Man is amazing.
Oh! I really like The Importa...

Hi, everyone!
Last week, I posted the first set of answers for the questions submitted. The next (smaller) set of answers will be posted this Thursday. I decided to split them between the questions about the story and the questions more aimed at myself.
Here are the week's chapters:
Chapter 257: Youthful Ways is now available for Core Disciples.

Elder Xue once chided him for his tendency to hold back his cultivation, but Liu Jin has often felt the opposite is true. Whenever he replays the events that led him to this point, he can scarcely believe their speed. One day, he’s a boy without a home. The next, he’s a disciple of one of the Four Great Sects. Today, he’s a soldier in a civil war. Who knows what tomorrow will bring?
It is the path he chose. They are the choices he made.
Liu Jin still feels like he...

Hi, all!
I ended up answering about thirty questions. I have decided to split them in two Q&A. This one and one which will be posted next Thursday. The questions here are more directly related to lore, story, and world-building. The next one will have the questions that were more aimed at me.

“He really does look like him.”
“Family tends to resemble one another.”
“I never thought that Brother Jin even had a family. If you told me he appeared out of thin air one day, I’d probably believe it.”
“I believe that says more about you than it does about Brother Qing.”
“Enough already! We’re wasting time!”
“True. Besides, my Jin is undeniably superior.”
A single vein throbs dangerously in Qing Guo’s forehead. His f...

The damage done by those in higher realms is not easily fixed.
The phenomenon is not purely an aspect of raw power. A cultivator in the Heaven Realm can grab a normal knife, use normal strength to slice someone's cheek, and leave behind a normal cut. So long as that person is in the Nascent Realm or below, the cut will not heal. The blood might clot, but the flesh will never mend. The wound will keep opening and bleeding throughout the years.
Mud has seen it happen.

This post is so you can submit any and all questions you might have for the Q&A. Just write them in the comments I will not pick every question, but I will try to answer as many as I can.
Just a few ground rules, one ground rule really, no spoiler questions.
What does that mean? It means that, if you are Core or Inner Disciples, keep in mind Outer Disciples haven't read all the chapters you have, so don't ask a question that might accidentally spoil them.

Liu Jin is floating.
At least, that is how he is choosing to interpret his current state. For him to actually be floating would require space to exist around him and for him to exist within that set space. A vertical. A horizontal. All those things are necessary for him to do any sort of floating, and all those things are foreign to him right now. Liu Jin is not sure if he is truly anywhere.
Liu Jin is not sure if he even Is.

Qing Guo lays flat on his back for several minutes.
He knows he should get back up. It does not matter if this labyrinthine realm makes it nearly impossible for the Fleshcrafter to find him. It happened once. It can happen again. Qing Guo should be trying to escape this place as fast as possible. That is what his mind is begging him to do.
His body cannot move.
It is not as if anything is impeding his movement. The snake construct holding him hostage vanished a few...

Hi, everyone!
Like I earlier this month, there will be no update during the last week of December or the first week of January. That means this will be the last round of updates this year. Updates will resume on January 8th.

Chapter 252: Far Away is now available for Core Disciples.

Mud collapses with his back to the wall. His breathing echoes loudly in the empty corridors, but no one comes to investigate.
The Storm Dragon has done him a favor, it seems.
Had he and Bright Sword not been separated when the spatial realm shifted, he’d have probably died. Even now, blood, his blood, seeps into his robes and pools around him, tainting the floors with deep crimson.
“Movement that cannot be proved,” Mud muses with a touch of bitternes...

The battlefield is no place for a lady.
Lu Mei’s mother would often tell her that. After all, true power is the ability to enforce one’s will without needing to lift a finger. If things have gotten to the point where she needs to personally enter combat, then she has clearly erred in some way, and a proper lady does not err.
Lu Mei has done her best to live up to that teaching, and for a time, it had been easy. Bei Hong’s existence guaranteed that. A true brute wit...

As you may know, I have been sick lately. Like, really sick. I was able to get the last two updates out in time, but this week's beaten me (though I am a lot better, thankfully). The Monday chapter will be delayed to Wednesday for Core Disciples. Everyone else will receive their update as usual.
Apologies for the inconvenience.

Once it becomes clear that Bright Sword and Bai Wen are about to enter the palace, some soldiers immediately start dashing for the gates to join them. An equally large group of enemy soldiers frantically tries to stop them.
They are a minority.
By large, most people on the battlefield see the folly of trying to break into the palace so early. After all, to enter the palace is to challenge General He Bin. It'd be the height of foolishness.

Despite his young age, Liu Jin has seen and enjoyed luxuries most people can only dream of. He has been inside luxurious mansions, expensive restaurants, and other wealthy establishments. Wealth and luxury have long since stopped eliciting any awe in him.
Nevertheless, the sight before him makes him pause.
It is not because he has stumbled upon something outlandish or bizarre. Not at all. Liu Jin is in the middle of a perfectly beautiful garden. The grass is lush and gre...

Feng Zhi propels himself into the skies using golden flames, fighting the natural pull of the Curse of the Earth, and rains fire on his foes. Nearly a hundred are killed in an instant. Monsters turn to cinders. Men die with their armor melted over their corpses. It all happens so quickly that they do not even have the chance to scream.
Feng Zhi allows himself a proud smile.
This is how things should be.

Liu Jin stands in front of the Grand Storm. Murong Bang and General Nie Dan are on his right and left side, respectively. Behind them are several thousand men. Of all those people, the only ones not staring at Liu Jin’s back are the ones who are too far behind to see him. Everyone is waiting for him to undo the Grand Storm so the attack on the Storm Dragon Palace can begin.
Liu Jin is still not sure if he can do that.
When he asked about it, Murong Bang laughed, slappe...

Sticking to one episode of Pluto per day is one of the hardest things I have done lately. Definitely the right choice, though. The temptation to binge is always great, but some things are best enjoyed if you take your time.

From afar, the Grand Storm looks like a massive pillar of black abruptly rising from the land and piercing the clouds. The storm clouds it is made of are so thick they almost look solid. Only the occasional flash of lightning breaks the illusion.
From up close, it looks like a wall.
Whether you look left, right, or up, it is impossible to find a beginning or end. The Grand Storm is simply there. It is this unnatural phenomenon that has kept the palace safe all these year...
