"And my daughter Calista, oh you must meet her!" Vilhelm bellowed, swaying tipsily as he gestured toward a plain-faced girl across the village square. "A true beauty, ripe for the picking! Strong hips, perfect for bearing many sons. You won't find a better bride in the region, I tell you!"
The old man laughed uproariously, as if he'd just told the most hilarious joke in history. Slifer nodded along politely, only half-listening as he tore into a jui...

Hello everyone!
As tomorrow is the 25th, I will be spending time with my family. I don't want to take a week break or anything like that so this week's schedule will be the following: Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday.
Plans for Demonic Sect Elder Series
The plan for the series is currently 3 books, this may change depending on life and how much you all respond to the series.
I plan to wrap up the current arc very soon and some time next week begin the Intersect Tournam...

Slifer stood shirtless beneath a waterfall, the crashing water pounding down on his shoulders. In each hand he held a massive boulder, their rough surfaces digging into his palms and fingers as he focused on maintaining his grip.
As much as he hated working out, he couldn’t let his body cultivation fall behind.
After a few more minutes, Slifer heard a distinct crack as the tendons in his arms stretched and expanded. He could feel the beast meat qi coursing through him, assimil...

"As we all know, the Intersect Tournament takes place once every century, to decide which disciples enter the Sealed Realm," Leontius continued. "Each sect is allowed a number of guaranteed places, based on how many Ascendant cultivators they possess."
"The Heavenly Light Sect has three Ascendants, so we get three guaranteed slots," Zofia interrupted, sitting taller.
As one of those three Ascendants, she would definitely claim a slot for her personal protégé. The girl showed p...

“Have a taste of Heavenly Tribulation!” Slifer roared.
A blinding pillar of white lightning tore through the clouds, hitting the beast in the chest. The impact sent the chimera tumbling away with a pained screech, but the beast righted itself quickly, shaking off the daze with a vengeful glare.
The Heavenly Tribulation Strike Card had failed to do any real damage.
Of course it wasn’t the Ascendant level bolt I needed - just my crap luck at work as usual, Sl...

The moon hung low in the night sky, casting an ethereal glow on the sleeping city below.
Ziven stared down the young girl before him. He had spent months on the run worried her master would send cultivators after him. He finally got some news that one of the old man’s disciples were in the city, he couldn’t pass up on such an opportunity.
I’ll send ‘him’ her head, Ziven sneered, releasing his Peak Core Formation cultivation base.
Amelia met his gaze unf...

Slifer shook his head in frustration as he scrolled through the System Shop. The treasures and cards that could actually rival an Ascendant cultivator’s power cost upwards of 50,000 credits! If the meeting was in a few weeks, perhaps the work of the Disciplinary Hall members would have been enough to buy something worthwhile.
“Couldn’t you throw a starving cultivator a bone?” Slifer grumbled under his breath.
The Shop interface flickered mockingly before disappearing.

After a few minutes of browsing, Slifer found a few treasures that caught his eye.
The first was the Celestial Awakening Pill, it gave a mortal a talent of one, which was the bare-bone requirement to cultivate.
Next was the Divine Blood Essence, a vial of thick crimson liquid that could ignite the mortal physique and bestow spirit roots that gave a talent of two.
1000 and 1200 Karmic Credits? Not too bad, Slifer nodded, pleased that the System was finally giving ...

The figure was Nomed, who had returned from the village after gaining the blessing of his parents.
Great, I can put this one to work sooner than expected, Slifer thought, a mischievous smile playing on his lips.
"I'm here too!" Dusty wheezed, panting heavily as he entered the hall. His eyes widened at the sight of the leftover delicacies. He rushed forward, almost knocking over his best friend in the process.
“S-Supreme Elder, can I have some, just a little?”...

The golden dragon, a manifestation of Heaven's Wrath, swallowed Slifer whole as it crashed into the ground, exploding into a shower of lightning sparks. The explosion was catastrophic, decimating the surrounding areas.
Caelum and Fenlock, who had been watching from a distance in the air, were caught off guard by the sheer magnitude of the blast, the shockwave almost knocked them out of the sky!
"M-master!" Fenlock cried, not knowing how their master fared against the attack due ...

I decided to write a chapter for what Slifer got up to in the Void Realm, I have changed the chapter numbers and links, this will be the new Chapter 40.
You will be getting an extra chapter tomorrow where we continue with the Nascent Soul Tribulation!
Enjoy!

Exhausted, Slifer found a cave that seemed safe enough to catch his breath. It was a simple cave, adorned with a few ...

Why didn't that boy inform me he was attempting a breakthrough to the Nascent Soul realm? Slifer thought as he soared through the air.
Fenlock’s hasty actions irked him. Tribulations at the level of the Nascent Soul Realm were serious matters, and Fenlock had only recently reached the Peak Core Formation realm.
"Remember to let your master know whenever you are planning to face a tribulation," Slifer turned, reminding his now favourite disciple, Caelum. "As y...

“Ah, Supreme Elder, what brings you here.”
Slifer eyed the weasel-looking man in front of him with mild distaste.
Just my luck to see this guy three times in the span of a few days! Slifer would rather avoid this particular Elder, but unfortunately, he needed access to the sect's resources, and this man, Wyatt, held the keys.
"Grand Elder, I was just nearby and thought I might relieve you of some… items," Slifer said, trying to sound casual. The less he spo...

Sitting cross-legged in his courtyard next to a serene pond, Slifer was deep in thought, his brow furrowed in concentration. He had set the plans for the Disciplinary Hall into motion, as for the daily matters, they could be handled by Fred, Slifer had a more pressing concern on his mind.
Either the System can see the future, or it’s great at manipulating events. More likely, it’s both.
Ever since he entered this world, Slifer had felt like a puppet, its strings pul...

Due to the feedback on Chapter 35 from the readers on Royal Road, I decided to make some changes to Chapter 36. These changes have been applied to the Patreon version
There is no significant change to the overall story, however, I feel the changes help with Val's character development
(1) Val devouring the Nascent Soul cultivators completes her breakthrough to the Mid-Nascent Soul Stage
(2) Mid-Nascent Soul Stage is equivalent to an 8-year old (previously she was around 5), ...

Sleep…
Slifer's vision darkened as a voice, soft and gentle like a whisper, echoed seductively in his mind. You've endured so much these past weeks, my love. It's... it's okay to close your eyes...just for a little while.
I can't... not now, Slifer resisted, his thoughts cloudy. I'm…trapped…insi-…no…I’m in… battle…

Slifer’s head popped out of the portal, he held back a sigh of relief, he had managed to arrive at the correct location, levelling the Dimensional Slide technique seemed like a good investment after all.
But before the rest of his body could exit the portal, a booming voice caught him off guard, the force of the shout nearly knocking him off balance.

Turning his gaze, Slifer saw a middle-aged man, his robes struggling in vain to hide a muscular physique remin...

Inside the house, Slifer observed the frail woman lying on the bed. Despite being only slightly younger than her husband, she appeared old enough to be his mother. The pills the original gave them should have kept them looking much younger and extended their lifespan, Slifer mused, wondering if the original had given them defective pills. I wouldn’t put it pass the old miser.
He ignored the father's continuous pleas for help as he approached the woman's bedside. Gent...

Slifer barely made it through the portal, feeling the phantom beast's ghastly roar vibrating behind him as part of it got severed by the closing portal. Landing clumsily in his courtyard, he looked dishevelled and far from the composed master he usually was.

Slifer quickly adjusted his robe and cleared his throat, trying to regain his usual air of mystery. "Ah, yes,...

The Grand Elders in the pagoda exchanged worried glances, each one unsettled by the white-robed youth. "We can't possibly admit him into our sect," Elder Tenzin whispered.
Grand Elder Darius, known for his impulsive decisions, nodded in rare agreement. A disciple of such extraordinary talent was more a harbinger of doom than a boon. Assassination attempts from rival mortal sects were manageable, but the pressure from the Venerable sects of the immortal realms was an entirely different ...

One by one, the participants nervously stepped forward when called, however, after placing their hands upon the Luminaresce Quartz, one after another, they walked away with their spirits dampened, having lit only a single pillar.
"Circa," came the next call. A young girl, no older than fourteen summers, her legs shaking, approached the stone. The crowd held their breath as she reached out. The first pillar lit up, and a tentative smile touched her lips, she expected no more tha...

Feeling the oppressive force of Grand Elder Darius's aura bear down on them, Amelia's face twisted into an angry scowl. "You won't be acting like this when my master arrives," she snapped defiantly. "Then you'll be on your knees begging for mercy."
Perched on Morvran's bald head, Val puffed out her tiny chest and hissed, "Mastew slap bad man, Val den eat bad man!" Her baby teeth, more adorable than intimidating, flashed in a display of dragonet bravado.

With that, the formations on the ground came to life, releasing a blue hue. The participants felt a wave of exhaustion sweep over them, causing their limbs to feel like jelly and their eyelids to droop as they slowly succumbed to unconsciousness.
Within the illusionary realm, a lone mountain rose from the ground, its peak, covered in mist, reached the heavens. As the mist cleared, figures began appearing at the foot of the mountain, each disorient...

The Verdant Serenity Valley was a sight to behold, lush and vibrant, cradled within towering mountains. It was here that the Black Rose Sect's Disciple Selection Ceremony took place. After the ceremony, the Sect Master would traditionally claim the privilege of first pick among the new disciples, followed by the five Grand Elders and then the Nascent Soul Elders. Those not chosen but talented enough might be taken in as outer sect disciples, where they would serve as servants with dreams of o...

Fenlock felt like it was time to return, killing 10 demonic cultivators should be enough to meet his master's expectations. A sigh slipped from his lips as he stepped onto the sect grounds. Unlike many others in the sect, he never found joy in tormenting the weak. Engaging with cultivators at the same cultivation had always been a walk in the park for him, particularly since his specialization in sound cultivation often gave him an unexpected edge.
His master had sent him on this missio...
