Chapter 286 - A Strange Note

When I opened the notebook, I was met by looping foreign scripts written in elegant, and utterly unreadable ways. The ink had faded in places, but the strokes remained thin and obsessively neat, like someone had rewritten them a hundred times just to keep the shapes alive. I flipped through a few more pages of symbols, diagrams, and what appeared to be some kind of formula interspersed with paranoid scribbles. No patterns, no names, just non...

Chapter 285 - Exploiting The Elderly

Song San, or what was left of him, stood frozen within the array. The gleam that once lived in his eyes was now gone hollow. Just moments ago, he had been our greatest concern… and now we were negotiating over unrelated matters.

Song Song stood off to the side, casually inspecting her nails as soon as we started talking about deals. But she stayed close enough to intervene if necessary and, of course, close enough to hear eve...

Cultivation Nerd: Chapter 284

 Chapter 284 - The Defeat

Song San was left crippled, defeated, and bleeding to death.

His once-terrifying presence was now a broken heap on the cracked earth, surrounded by the stench of blood and poison. His arms twitched uselessly, mangled beyond repair, and his breath came in shallow, ragged gasps. The glow of Qi that had once wrapped around him like armor now flickered and dimmed like a dying ember.

His robes were soaked in his own blood, the vibra...

Chapter 283 - Sibling Beatdown

Song Song stood frozen in shock, unable to move. Thick, tar-like streams dripped from her eyes, ears, nose, and mouth, sizzling faintly as they hit the scorched earth below. Her crimson armor pulsed unnaturally, veins of darkness spreading across its surface like a sickness taking root.

Her breathing hitched, shallow and irregular. Her axe, still held in one trembling hand, hung low and unsteady as if the weight of it suddenly became...

Chapter 282 - Sibling Clash

Song Song marched toward the inner sect with the kind of certainty that made hesitation feel foolish. Like her steps carved a path, the world had no choice but to follow.

“Do you even know where you need to go?” I asked since I myself wasn’t entirely sure where Song San was staying.

Song Song remained quiet, her pace never slowing. Just as we neared the inner sect’s entrance, she turned her head toward me.

“What ab...

Chapter 281 - Old Monsters

But in the end, I still decided not to say anything. Not yet. We needed to be alone to speak freely, and if her father really was trying to take over her body, there was no way he’d leave her unattended.

Just as I thought that my heart almost stopped. I felt a hand settle on my shoulder.

No presence. No warning. Just… a touch, cold and quiet as a corpse’s breath.

My entire body flinched inward.

Whoever was touchin...

Cultivation Nerd: Chapter 280

Chapter 280 - Young Monsters

I covered myself in jade armor and shot toward the front gate like a sudden missile, pushing myself harder than usual, not caring about burning Qi. When I landed, the guards looked surprised, but seeing the black robe signifying my status as an inner elder, none of them dared refute me.

There, just about two miles from the front gate, stood a familiar figure.

Even from this distance, I knew that frame: the straight shoulders, jet...

Chapter 279 -  High Level Array Master

After that whole speech with dictatorship undertones, I returned to the library almost absentmindedly and stared at the large pile of books.

The Song Song mystery had haunted me for some time. And now, just like that, it was solved. She was coming here.

I didn’t know whether to be happy or worried. A part of me wanted to be hopeful that her father didn’t somehow find out I suspected him of being a body snatcher...

Cultivation Nerd: Chapter 278

Chapter 278 - Corporate Style

While lying on the floor of my library, the warm wooden boards pressing into my back, I held up a worn poster and let the golden afternoon light spill over it.

It was one of our creations and a ridiculous xianxia-style WWE showdown promo we’d plastered across nearby towns. Bold, curling letters sprawled across the top, and behind the silhouette of a man punching a beast in the face, a blazing red sun flared dramatically.

Chapter 277 - Heaven’s Dog 

Only the faint hum of spiritual energy could be heard in a dark room. Low and steady, like the breathing of the world itself.

Song Song sat cross-legged at the center, eyes closed, palms resting lightly on her knees. Her body glowed faintly from within, threads of Qi pulsing through her meridians as the ninth and final pillar of Foundation Establishment was being refined. A technique was etching itself into it, stroke by stroke.<...

Chapter 276 - A Murder Scheme

By the time I reached home, I was already in the mindset to kill her.

I landed softly on the green grass and spread my senses, confirming that Wu Yan was still inside the wooden house, cultivating. She didn’t need to see something like this.

Despite how she usually acted, Wu Yan was a soft girl. She liked Fu Yating. That kind of attachment was inevitable when someone cooked for you, took care of you and watched over you every ...

Cultivation Nerd: Chapter 275

Chapter 275 - Extreme Indulgence 

I was in heaven.

Books were piled everywhere around me, with shelves taller than most buildings now completely empty.

Stacks rose up like towers, unsteady, threatening to topple at any moment. And honestly? Even if I were some brittle mortal who’d die if they collapsed on me, I’d be okay with that kind of death.

So much knowledge. So much everything. I felt like an addict riding their biggest high. All my prob...

Chapter 274 - A New Sky 

I sat at the kitchen table next to Wu Yan, eating some of the delicious food Fu Yating had prepared. Though the stone home around us was humble, the way the morning light shone through the windows and reflected off the stones was… surprisingly pleasant.

It was one of those moments where you could forget everything else and just exist in the present.

“What even is this?” I asked, looking at a piece of weird white meat that ...

Chapter 273 - Change

After that talk with the Blazing Sun Immortal, there was nothing left to do but return to the Sect.

I flew back with Zun Gon, the same way we’d come here to begin with. But neither of us said much during the flight, and Zun Gon kept casting weird glances my way.

We landed near one of the warped roads in the Inner Sect. The strange shape was due to the calamity, like the ground had melted into a blob, some parts wider than others, with ...

Chapter 272 - Compromising His Position

“Anyway, you get the gist of the situation,” the Blazing Sun Immortal said, his voice distorted in his blazing form. “Shan Yi became an Immortal, and he just decided to dip out. Which I understand. I doubt he would’ve become an Immortal in the first place if he’d been okay working under someone else.”

I glanced at Zun Gon. The buff bald guy still had his mouth agape, stunned by the true form of the Blazing Sun Im...

Chapter 271 - The New Meets The Old

The farmer-looking man gave Ling Huyin a once-over, slow and thoughtful, like someone greeting an old friend after many years and wanting to see what had changed.

"Hmm. You don't feel like one of our kind," the man said. "Anyway, my name's Shan Yi. What can I help you with, dangerous traveler?"

Shan Yi... So he'd been right.

This was the former Sect Leader of the Blazing Sun Sect.

Ling Huyin wasn't worried abou...

Cultivation Nerd: Chapter 270

Chapter 270 - The Old Meets The New

Ling Huyin looked up at the sky, his breath steady, shoulders heavy.

The sun sank low on the horizon, casting its dying light across the clouds and staining them a deep, smoldering crimson, like blood smeared across the heavens. The lake before him rippled quietly, reflecting the fiery sky in its still surface.

He hoped, really hoped, this was the last lake.

This journey, wandering from one forgotten corner of the ma...

Chapter 269 - The New Immortal

When I thought of the Blazing Sun Immortal, the image I had in my head, for some reason, was a buff guy with flames for hair. Probably because of everything I’d read about the Sect’s history. How it came to be. The unspoken barbaric rules.

It just gave off that vibe.

But instead, there was just some dark-haired teenager with light green eyes. He looked handsome, sure, but not so much that he’d stand out. He’d blend perf...

Chapter 268 - Playing Catch With An Immortal 

From the surface of the human-sized egg, a soft crackling sound echoed through the stone room. Then, with a wet, squelching pop, the top split open and a small, slick head emerged.

It was a bat's head, damp, glistening, and covered in thin strands of translucent goo. Its black, beady eyes bulged slightly, as if too large for its skull, glassy and unblinking as they scanned the dim surroundings. There was something...

Chapter 267 - Indulgence

I sat cross-legged on the soft ground, letting the earth press gently against me. The grass was cool beneath my legs, still slightly damp with morning dew. It's clean, green scent rose with every breath I took, and the fresh air opened up my lungs.

Meditation was deeply relaxing when done in the right environment. But this wasn't quite as nice as I would've liked.

Still, I could sense it clearly now, as it was the first firm Qi pilla...

Chapter 266 - Elder By Fire

“What?”

“Blazing Sun Immortal? He’s still alive?”

“Huh!”

Many people were surprised. Even the Core Formation cultivators who had kept stoic expressions until now showed flickers of shock. Clearly, not everyone had deduced that the Blazing Sun Immortal was still alive.

That surprised me a bit too.

Suppose the Blazing Sun Immortal was still alive and knew his Heavenly Calamity was approaching. Why had...

Chapter 265 - Vacant Thrones

I followed Zun Gon as he walked out of the graveyard. Neither of us rushed.

Looking around, most of the graves likely had someone, maybe even multiple people, who cared about them.

Cultivators, heavenly calamities… so many dead. Perhaps…

I shook my head, brushing aside such foolish thoughts. I was too weak to even entertain them.

Instead of getting distracted and letting arrogance swell just because I’d barely t...

Chapter 264 - Burials & Tears

I was here.

I had finally returned to the Blazing Sun Sect.

But things had changed.

Gone was the pristine gleam of white marble walls that once stood as a symbol of pride and power, smooth and unblemished like the surface of spirit jade.

Now, long, jagged scratches ran down their sides like claw marks. Cracks split the stone in uneven lines, some stretching from base to top of the wall. In places, chunks had been...

Chapter 263 - Arrival at Civilization 

A month passed, and I was finally used to my new cultivation. Walking around without the constant fear of a monstrous beast ruining my day was... incredible.

Sure, beasts still came out of nowhere now and then, but a Foundation Establishment-level threat wasn't scary anymore. Not really.

"Oh look, another ruin," I said, pointing to a distant mountain peak where an abandoned temple clung to the stone like a forgotte...

Cultivation Nerd: Chapter 262

Chapter 262 - The First Technique

The first thing I noticed after breaking through to Foundation Establishment was just how dense my Qi had become. Every technique I could cast now would hit with triple the effect, even with only half the mastery.

Typically, once someone reached Foundation Establishment, they'd focus entirely on stability. Pick an element. Refine their Qi. Avoid using elemental techniques that might misalign their spiritual roots. It was a careful...

Chapter 261 - Breakthrough To The Next Stage

I looked down at the map in my hands. The parchment was smooth and tightly pressed, its edges curled slightly from use. The ink was dark and precise, etched with the care of someone who’d actually travelled these lands.

Every ridge, bend, and rise in the terrain was captured with remarkable clarity. Valleys sprawled like shallow bowls between mountain spines, forests were marked in clustered strokes, and rivers wound ...

Chapter 260 - A Heavenly Treasure

We were approaching the end of autumn, and the trees were slowly stripping themselves of their old leaves. Even the air had a crisp sharpness to it, a quiet warning of the winter to come.

Fu Yating walked with her eyes on the ground, watching the fallen leaves crunch beneath her boots like she was deep in thought. She had grown her hair out recently. It suited her. Wu Yan, on the other hand, didn’t seem to care about the dead le...

Chapter 259 - A Cat’s Lives

Ling Huyin sat in silence on the gently swaying carriage, his legs loosely crossed as the wooden planks beneath him creaked with each bump in the dirt path. Sunlight streamed through the shifting canopy above, scattering into warm, golden fragments that danced across his face and robe. The breeze carried the earthy scent of leaves and distant dust, mingling with the quiet clatter of wheels and the occasional call of unseen birds.

He t...

Chapter 258 - The Last Bad Choice

“Fuck! Who is this guy?” one of them shouted.

“Careful!” another warned, already adjusting his stance.

The others didn’t waste breath; they were already gathering Qi, their movements tight and practiced, and six cultivators ready to strike as one. A coordinated squad. Sharp-eyed. Disciplined.

I didn’t move. Not yet.

I considered killing them all in a blink.

It would’ve been easy.

But I d...

Chapter 257 - Hearthfire Ice-Stem Flower?

As I moved through the grounds of the Serpent Bone Hall, I kept my steps light and my presence thinner than a whisper.

The vast underground expanse stretched endlessly around me, lit only by scattered lanterns clinging to crooked stone pillars and weathered walls. They gave off barely enough light to cast long, flickering shadows that hugged the walls like living things. The cavern ceiling soared so high above that it vani...
