“Have you heard?”
“About the banquet?”
“Yes, the ship the Patriarch left on arrived the other day, he apparently killed one of the sect leaders that we were subservient to…”
“Do you think we will be going to war?”
Two sect members were talking to each other. Rumors had reached everywhere now, the death of Zhan Jie was no small matter. It could be the prelude to another extinction event like a war.
“What are you two mumbling about!”
Ano...
2020-11-19 13:57:10 +0000 UTC View PostA tall youth with dark hair and a somewhat handsome face was standing at a travel agency. He was looking at a map on which he scribbled some notes. This was Roland that had just gotten the information that he required to reach his next destination. This would be the next place that he would be staying at.
“Third time's the charm, eh?”
He muttered to himself while walking towards the train station. He would be traveling even longer than he was before and he would even have to t...
2020-11-19 06:22:09 +0000 UTC View PostA group of guards was making their rounds on top of a steep wall. This wall seemed to stretch for kilometers and there was no end visible in sight.
They all were kind of bored and not really keeping much attention to what was happening around them. It was nothing new, they did this multiple times for years. There was no reason to push themselves, doing the bare minimum was enough.
Due to this, they were all a bit slow on the uptake when it happened. They heard a strange rumble and...
2020-11-17 13:21:31 +0000 UTC View PostA tall youth was walking towards a certain destination. He was wearing a long coat and hiding a lot of spatial bags that were hanging around his belt. He glanced around the city that he had spent years in and was getting slightly nostalgic.
This was the city where his blacksmithing career took off. He had learned all the basics here and he did it on his own. It was also where he finally learned to use and create runes. After all these years Roland was feeling like he was finally getting...
2020-11-16 06:08:45 +0000 UTC View PostZhang Dong set himself before the engine unit of the Argonaut 1. He sat down in the lotus position and started gathering all of his spiritual energy. Golden lightning bolts started appearing all around this closed-off space in a matter of moments.
These beams of energy started pelting the floating device in the middle of the room with their might. The decahedron item that was the main battery started spinning around and the tubes connected to it began absorbing the newfound power.
Zhang Dong looked as Zhan Jie’s body was splitting apart. A mountain that was right behind him was in a similar fashion parting to the sides. He had done an overhead downward slash that parted his opponent along with the skies and scenery behind him.
This was a slash that was the crystallization of his past efforts. He put his entire being into it and had vanquished his foe almost instantly.
He floated there without saying anything as he knew that Zhan Jie was no more. The sword...
2020-11-13 14:15:16 +0000 UTC View PostRoland was now looking at an old man in a robe. The man had placed his hand on a dark looking shoulder. This was the stab wound that Roland had suffered tonight. There were abscesses with yellow pus that had formed and some of those yellow juices were even flowing out. The smell of it all would be truly something that Roland would remember.
This was inside the temple of Solaria and he was just getting his treatment for the curse. The worst part about this wasn’t the pain from being cu...
2020-11-13 05:38:02 +0000 UTC View PostZhan Jie’s facial expression was mixed. He was standing in the middle of his Limitless Lotus Sword Formation that his sword sect was known for. It was the pinnacle of their power and it was a technique that brought them countless victories.
The look of confusion and anger was directed at his opponent Zhang Dong. The man that he was facing didn’t move from that one spot for the entire time he unleashed his technique. The thousands of swords that he was utilizing were being repelled b...
2020-11-11 13:45:07 +0000 UTC View PostThe night was dark and the whole city was lit up by the light of the lanterns. The winds had picked up and it started to drizzle. It looked like it would be a cold, stormy night. The guards that were patrolling the city moved slowly, mostly keeping to the buildings and hiding from the rain.
In one of the better-off sections of the city was Exeor’s Magic Emporium. It was late and close to 9 pm now. Almost everyone had left the store and was now either at home or out in the pub. However...
2020-11-10 05:58:32 +0000 UTC View PostThe United Element’s Sect’s flagship had left towards their sect grounds. The cultivators that had escorted them here were less than stellar about them leaving. The Argonaut just sped away leaving the three ships that were chasing them behind.
Zhang Dong had hoped that with his ship's enhanced speed he could just safely return home with haste. This wouldn’t be that easy though as a certain person was already waiting for his arrival.
It was a classical ambush with multiple fl...
2020-11-09 15:27:15 +0000 UTC View PostFang Meili and her two servants were now flying through the air. They had apparently overreacted a moment ago and this man didn’t seem as stuck up as some other nascent soul masters.
This wasn’t the big surprising part though. They all were from the Divine Fist Sect and all of them practiced some form of divine arts. These arts harnessed holy energies from the world to power their techniques.
The golden shield that Zhang Dong surrounded them with was of very pure holy energy. ...
2020-11-07 14:51:33 +0000 UTC View PostRoland was standing in the middle of the corridor with his hand holding the blade that he previously made. He had looked at it many times before but this was a first.
Thanks to his debugging skill he was able to always see the runic structures of any item that he came across. If he focused on it the skill would show him various colored lines; red, blue, and green.
He had already seen how his blade should look while under his skill and something was very off. The traces were wrong,...
2020-11-07 05:44:10 +0000 UTC View PostThe banquet came to a close. The winner of the competition was a junior member from one of the ten greater sects. It was not the young master that went after Fang Meili’s life. After getting repelled by Zhang Dong as he was saving the girl one of the other young masters betrayed him.
This was something only natural, he got stabbed in the back during the whole commotion and no one even knew who was the perpetrator. He wasn’t dead but heavily injured and his battle prowess sunk low. I...
2020-11-05 13:22:27 +0000 UTC View PostA large crystal chandelier was hanging over an even bigger round table. This table had exactly eight chairs placed around it. The chairs looked to be made by some master craftsman and even had cushioning.
There were already five people there and they were waiting for the last person to arrive.
“Mr. Thardur sure is late today~”
An extravagantly dressed moon elf woman said while leaning back in her chair. If this wasn’t official business she would have probably placed he...
2020-11-04 05:13:26 +0000 UTC View PostFang Heng finally decided to give Zhang Dong a recap of what had transpired back at his sect. The two had some time till the Yinglong Pavilion leader made his decision and the other guests were just whispering amongst each other as well.
“About a month ago we came across a strange set of ruins, this was the beginning of our troubles…”
It all started normally with a new interesting discovery. Some people had dug up a passageway that led them into some underground ruins. There...
2020-11-03 14:09:45 +0000 UTC View PostThe people were stunned. A Patriarch from a new upstart sect was related to someone from a well established one. A previously powerful sect that was now losing power but was that really the truth?
Zhang Dong was to the side, his brows quivered a bit but he managed to keep his facial expression mostly hidden away. He knew those looks that the people were giving him, it were the looks of cultivators that were overthinking. What genius conspiracy theories they were coming up with was somet...
2020-11-01 15:08:04 +0000 UTC View PostRoland was looking at a piece of steel that had a round shape. This was the old pommel that he had removed from the previously created sword.
He was planning to replace this section of the sword. There were a few other places he could push the gem into but they would be troublesome. The blade had already gone through the process of hardening so heating it up again to insert a grove might ruin it.
He could also try filing a fitting hole into the hardened blade in the hilt or slight...
2020-11-01 06:53:55 +0000 UTC View PostZhang Dong was just standing there, glaring at two nascent soul masters that were angry. He had come up with a haphazard plan just like many times before. He couldn’t just watch a child getting murdered in front of him. He would hate himself in the future if he just stood by, the problem was that now he had involved himself in this fiasco. He would have to see it through till the end.
He eyed the golden-haired girl with a side glance. She looked rather young and was looking at him as ...
2020-10-30 11:34:24 +0000 UTC View PostThe sound of distant barking broke the silence of the night. It was faintly noticeable between the howling wind that rattled the uneven windows in Roland’s room. The light from his candle flickered as it danced around.
The young man was lying down on his bed. Roland was holding both his hands behind his head and looking at the ceiling. He was spacing out while thinking about the future. He had already spent almost ten years in this foreign world and he still felt like he didn’t belo...
2020-10-29 05:18:25 +0000 UTC View PostFang Meili had come with her grandfather to this gathering of the sects. She had come unwilling and would have rather remained in the sect. Her brothers and sisters were now in dire need and it felt like she was running away.
She couldn’t refuse her grandfather though, she was the youngest female family member that had survived the beast onslaught. She was also the favorite granddaughter of Fang Heng, one of the more prominent nascent soul elders of the sect. She knew what her grandfa...
2020-10-28 12:39:53 +0000 UTC View PostThe banquet had moved into the next phase. Every influential member from the large sects that ruled these lands was here. They had teleported onto a large mountain peak. This peak was overlooking a giant labyrinth and some people were already moving into it.
The labyrinth was the main competition that the junior members were able to participate in. The Yinglong Pavilion had hidden various treasures in this area and everything inside was up for the taking. Various high quality pills, wea...
2020-10-26 14:45:38 +0000 UTC View PostA tall young man of about 183 cm of height was standing next to a large anvil. He was wearing a cotton shirt and had a large thick blacksmith’s apron over it. The shirt was quite loose which allowed for more airflow and better ventilation. Still, there was some sweat forming on his brow.
His build wasn’t very bulky but you could see quite a lot of tone on his arms and chest. It looked like the youth’s body didn’t have a chance to build enough muscle to go with his growth spurt.<...
2020-10-26 05:25:51 +0000 UTC View PostZhang Dong had a small glass of bubbly liquor in his hand. He slowly moved it towards his lips and took a sip while glancing down. What he saw beneath were a group of beauties on their zithers playing a slow song while singing.
He was sitting in one of the booths with the group of twenty elders. Below them, a large group of people were seated around a stage area. The stage was well lit up, it kind of looked like a dancing stage with the floor shined to perfection.
There were some ...
2020-10-24 12:36:13 +0000 UTC View PostA young man about the age of 20 was walking through the forest. He was holding onto a piece of parchment that had a drawing on it. He had been going through the instructions on this piece of paper towards a supposed meet up point.
“Is that the tree…”
There was a large dead tree in the middle of nowhere. The grass around here was thin and lacked color. The man walked up to it and pulled out a white envelope. The envelope was sealed by a red seal that had a certain insignia on...
2020-10-23 04:49:03 +0000 UTC View Post“Zhang Dong from the United Element Sect!”
Zhang Dong walked through a large door while one of the servants announced his name. There were some people already on the inside and they started whispering around. He had really gained a lot of infamy for this party and he could see it in the other's eyes.
‘Just need to frown and look like the biggest asshole in the room, then they will leave me alone…’
He moved forward while trying to emulate some of the haughty young m...
2020-10-22 12:48:42 +0000 UTC View PostIt was finally time for the large banquet to commence. All of the sects had arrived and were already moving towards the area where part of the festivities would be taking place.
Each of these sects here were owners of large tracts of lands with millions and maybe even billions of people living in them. But they were only pieces of a larger whole which consisted of the whole Empire that they were part of.
Every leader from each of those sects was here. They gathered every ten years...
2020-10-20 12:52:35 +0000 UTC View PostRoland was in a bind. He was looking at a small half gnome girl shaking her body side to side. She was looking at him with those large orbs that she called eyes. The young girl had climbed through an open window and seen him runecrafting.
“Hey...how did you do that, that’s an enchanted sword for sure! You can enchant swords? Are you an enchant smith!? I knew it, you lied about your age. You have to be tier 2 for that!”
The girl had come to the conclusion that he was at least...
2020-10-20 04:56:43 +0000 UTC View PostAnother day passed, the more prominent middle sized sect leaders finally started to arrive. The news of the arena fight was already widely spread which mostly caused people to laugh at the Silver Spear Sect Patriarch's blunder.
Now the eyes were on Zhang Dong. There were recording devices in this world that were able to catch this fight. They were only available for the more prominent masters as they required a lot of spiritual energy as fuel. They also had a few drawbacks in the way th...
2020-10-18 11:44:57 +0000 UTC View PostDays went by and Roland continued to practice his craft. He created regular tools most of the day which he then melted down for crafting materials. They were far too crude to sell and any responsible blacksmith made his or her own tools.
With the help of his temporary assistant, he didn’t need to go to restaurants every day. She would cook and clean and he would help her out by crafting arrow shafts. With this, his smithing masteries were increasing at a steady pace. This only left hi...
2020-10-17 04:15:37 +0000 UTC View PostChang Yongzheng naked ass was sticking out from the rubble. The whole floating stage that the two fighters were on was blown up along with the protective shielding. Zhang Dong was victorious and he was hovering in the air with both his hands behind his back. He was sure to look presentable for the peanut gallery, making yourself look unfazed was part of the plan.
The people in the arena were stunned, the attack that this senior had performed was just too overbearing. In normal circumsta...
