Chapter 196 - Freedom!!

In a desolate and uncharted region of the Western Continent, deep within one of its untamed jungles, lay a cave shrouded in moss and dampness. The humid air clung heavily, and the ancient stones seemed to exhale with the weight of centuries. Tonight, the full moon hung brighter than ever, casting its silver glow across the jungle unimpeded by even the faintest cloud. Its radiance pierced the dense canopy, bathing the cave entrance in a pal...

Chapter 195 - The Song Clan Secret

When her father told Song Song he would take her to the ancient Song Clan grounds, she imagined an old castle or ruins. Not this…

They hovered above the sea on flying swords after days of travel. Her father had stopped flying as if they had reached their destination.

Before her was a sight beyond her imagination: a massive waterfall where the sea spilled endlessly into an unfathomable abyss. Yet, even that descrip...

Announcment

(the daily chaps are already out, this is just an announcement)

I already announced it on discord, but for those of you who are not on discord, for this week the chapters will come out at 8AM (GMT +2). (It will be about 8AM for me) (It will be around the time I just gave access to/posted the chapters today.)

The reason for the change this week is due to a biking accident a bit ago, I go through physical therapy to make sure everything is okay and won't leave any kind...

Chapter 194 - The Powerhouse

Xin Ma sat in the library behind the reception desk, his usual spot. The scent of ancient paper and the soft rustling of pages created a calm, familiar ambiance. A handful of disciples wandered through the towering shelves, their eyes scanning the spines of countless volumes. Most were searching for techniques to advance their training, their hopes secretly pinned on stumbling upon a coveted Earth Grade Technique hidden within the sta...

Chapter 193 - A Heavy Step

A week had passed since my conversation with Song Song about our plans and since my cousins had left. I had already sent the letter requesting leave, and as Song Song's subordinate, they would certainly approve it. If not, Song Song and I had agreed to act as if she had told me the Sect confirmed my vacation. If anyone asked, we'd pretend she "lied" to me. The worst that could happen would be a slap on the wrist.

Even that would b...

Chapter 192 - Plan of Leaving

The damp underground library in the mansion was a strange place. It wasn't just its appearance—parts of the library resembled an alchemy lab. We had cleaned it, clearing out the dust and spiderwebs, yet the scent of dampness and mold lingered. In addition, the room held curious items like records of peculiar plants and obscure, low-tier alchemic recipes I'd never heard of.

I turned another page in an old, worn-out book, skim...

Chapter 191 - A Crack in the Dam

Xing Ju stood atop the outer sect wall, her figure silhouetted against the fading light of the setting sun. Her gaze stretched far into the distance, yet her heart was heavy, weighed down by the burdens of time and memories long past. The cool evening breeze shivered through her weary bones, carrying an unsettling sense of unease.

Where was Ye An?

After abandoning Song Song, her granddaughter, she chose Ye An as her ne...

Chapter 190 - Enjoying The Temporary

There was nothing quite like waking up at the break of dawn, the cool morning air brushing against your skin, a book in hand, and a cup of tea resting nearby. The peaceful stillness of the early hours made it the perfect time for quiet reflection.

Granted, the tea could have been hotter, but the limitations of storage rings meant time moved differently within their separate space. Still, cold tea was a small price to pay...

Chapter 189 - A Stray Thought

Xin Ma stared at the scroll on his desk as morning broke, and disciples began entering through the front doors.

Despite the situation he found himself in, he had slept rather well. He was never the type to lose sleep over trivial drama. Still, if he were being honest, Liu Feng's behavior troubled him.

Usually, Liu Feng was an understanding young man who grasped the world better than most of his peers. Xin Ma often saw him...

Chapter 188 - Sleepy Guardian & Vampire Vines

I handed the librarian a copy of a Tier 6 pill recipe scroll while keeping the original with me. Just in case there were hidden secrets that would only reveal themselves once I reached a certain stage of cultivation.

An array scroll would have been more appropriate since the librarian was an Array Conjurer. Still, I couldn't give up my trump cards so easily. They were trump cards I had to keep close to my ch...

Chapter 187 - The Devil, The Servant

As we drew closer to the gleaming marble walls of the Blazing Sun Sect, the tall walls seemed to calm my frayed nerves. The tension that had gripped my nerves slowly eased.

Along the way, we had separated from the other sects. With four Core Elders escorting us, no one stopped us at the gate. Once inside, the Core Elders turned toward us.

We stood on the road leading to various parts of the Sect, surrounded by lush...

Chapter 186 - The Faceless Errands

After my mind wandered for a bit, my fingers twitched. Perhaps the brain damage I'd recently suffered was still affecting me, like how people didn't make the best decisions when they were sleep-deprived.

But I was thinking about one final push. I couldn't stop now.

If I didn't act now, I would never do it again. I would only get another chance to discover what was actually happening here if I somehow became immortal....

Chapter 185 - Press X For Doubt

After saying that to him, the bronze-armored man stared at me, frowning. But after cycling through several expressions, he finally settled on a nonchalant, expressionless mask.

“How did you notice me?” asked the bronze-armored guard.

“To me, it was stranger that people didn’t notice you guys running around,” I answered.

There was no need to lie, but it was better if a potential opponent had no idea about...

Chapter 184 - Red Bronze

Morning light hit my face, and the first thought that slammed into my mind was simple: I needed a catalyst. Something to store the processing data when the Sky Grade Technique was in play. Using a human brain? Not an option—not with this level of information.

I pushed myself out of bed, took a deep breath, and the sharp scent of blood hit me. My fingers found the crusted remains under my nose. Dried blood.

Had I been bleedin...

Chapter 183 - A Sky Grade Technique

Eight Mind Phantoms was a Sky Grade Technique, one of those rare techniques that operated on an ethereal level most cultivators could only dream of. The immortal likely used this technique to leave behind the ghost in the tomb. At its highest levels, it could crush someone's mind with just a touch and even turn weaker-minded creatures into slaves.

Though the technique had combat applications, it wasn't solely designed for...

Chapter 182 - My First Friend

As the sun dipped below the horizon and the moon rose, casting its ethereal glow over the landscape, it became clear that we were on our own for the night. Neither the Core Elders nor any representatives from the Moonlit River Sect came to check on us or guide us to accommodations.

Some disciples headed toward the Moonlit River Sect. In contrast, others set up camp on the outskirts, grumbling that the smell would only worsen th...

Chapter 181 - Departure From Death

The jade strings encircling me thrummed with a rhythmic pulsation, akin to heartbeats, enveloping me in what felt like a cocoon of bright green silk. The softer strands that composed the inner layer of this protective barrier clung gently to my robes, intertwining with the fabric. The vibrant green glow cast a surreal light, isolating me from the outside world and imbuing the space with a serene, otherworldly quality.

Chapter 180 - The Birth of a Monstrous Cultivator

After his master's foreboding warning echoed in his mind, Hu Jin felt an ominous prickle dance across his scalp, the sensation crawling like a lava spider through his brain. Abruptly, the tingling gave way to a searing agony that enveloped his head. The heat surged so intensely that it seemed to bore into his skull, threatening to melt his eyes in their sockets.

He opened his mouth to scream, but no sound ca...

Chapter 179 - Five Minutes Before

Hu Jin navigated the shadow-draped corridors of the ancient tomb, his footsteps echoing ominously through the oppressive silence. Each turn seemed to promise discovery, but as he rounded yet another corner, he faced yet another dead end. Encrusted with age and secrets, the walls loomed over him as if mocking his efforts.

"Tch, this place is like a maze!" Hu Jin grumbled under his breath.

"The immortal is likely contr...

Announcment

I will keep this short, I had a bit of a biking accident. But I'm okay, and while I did write during that brief stay in the hospital, I wrote it on my phone and it was kinda shit. So I just waited until I came back home to edit it all.

P.S: I think I posted for all the days I missed. If I missed any chaps, tell me.

Chapter 178 - The Immortal Ghost

What the ghost showed me was both mesmerizing and unsettling—a dark sphere pulsating with movement. The orb was composed of wriggling shadows that stretched and recoiled as if trying to escape their confines. It was like countless souls were trapped within, each pressing against their spherical prison's shadowy barriers.

"What is that?" I asked. "And just to be clear, I'm not going to touch that thing unless I know what it...

Chapter 177 - Once In A Hundred Years

An Era of Immortals? Ah, shit, that sounded like a super dangerous time to be around. The last thing I needed was immortals walking about, able to tell I was an otherworlder.

"How did you know about this era?" I shifted, trying to find a more comfortable position on the stone.

"The same way I knew you were an otherworlder. That technique could originally see things even fate couldn't predict—an almost absolute f...

Chapter 176 - The Exorcism

The tense atmosphere was suffocating despite no pressure coming from the ghostly hologram.

"Anyway, to level the playing field, I've removed the factor of luck. No heaven-given luck to cheat. So only your mind and power matter here," the ghost declared. He seemed disappointed as he looked at us and wasn't even bothering to hide it.

What was that about? He had just called us an interesting group of people not so long ago. 2024-08-25 20:42:05 +0000 UTC View Post

Chapter 175 - Down The Hatch We Go 

"We have come to receive the message you have sent," said one of the Core Elders from the Void Piercing Sect. The same man who had taken charge of the conversation when we encountered the swamp people.

The statue stood motionless again, resembling a true statue, as if the voice we had heard was just an illusion. But then came another rumbling sound. The statue opened and closed its mouth, emitting that deep, growling...

Chapter 174 - Politics Are Lame

Song San stared at me, his gaze unreadable, a small smile gracing his lips. He looked as calm as always. Though my words might have cut deep, revealing his hidden desires, he no longer appeared like an ambitious man.

But I could sense his greed for the Clan Leader position. After all, why else would he have agreed to send me to the Sect Leader back then, knowing what I intended to do? At the time, I had wanted to release Song...

Chapter 173 - Four Eyed Crimson Crow

"What do we do with him now?" asked a burly Core Elder from the Titanic Blade Sect. He was the one who had suggested making sure the old man didn't bite his tongue or hide a poison vial in his teeth.

"I suggest we return, exterminate this strange group, and continue our journey," said a Core Elder from the Blazing Sun Sect.

"That sounds like needless effort," another elder chimed in.

The disciples could only ...

Chapter 172 - A Title

When I thought of cultivators traveling, the first thing that came to mind was flying swords. They were iconic and incredibly convenient—like having a personal jet, but better. So, it came as a surprise when the Core Elders from all the Sects decided not to have us travel on flying swords.

We streaked across open fields like bolts of lightning, each step a blur as the wind barely managed to keep up. We flew between ancient trees; our...

Chapter 171 - Lucky!

As the first light of morning seeped through the window, I slowly awakened atop silk sheets so inviting that they could tempt even the most diligent early riser. Despite the allure of comfort, I stirred myself to action.

With a sense of purpose, I quickly got up. I went to the shower, the scolding hot water washing away any lingering drowsiness. With my strengthened body, I could handle much more heat than the average person.

I sat down and read the history book with the silly name. Surprisingly, it had a detailed explanation of everything. I was used to the author's life story filling a quarter to half of the book, but it seemed luck had finally shifted to my side.

After finishing the book, I returned it to the stammering receptionist, and she said a brief—thank you—that if I weren't a cultivator, I wouldn't have been able to hear it. <...

Chapter 169 - The Golden City

I adjusted to the gray and white clothes I was wearing, prepared for undercover work. They were tight around the shoulders; I should have tried them on before buying them.

The morning sun cast a shimmering sheen over the golden walls of Goldwatch City. As it climbed higher, the city began to glow as if the walls were made of molten gold.

As that was happening, I had a front-row seat. I was walking in a seemingly endless ...
