Chapter 167

A man with a slight hump on his back and quite the lengthy protruding upper teeth was looking at some papers. He was sitting in a large leather chair, the desk he had the papers on looked to be quite robust and made from some rare spiritual wood. 

"The production has increased by 1% for this month..."

The man murmured to himself in a silent voice, the parchment he was holding had various numbers written on them. This was the monthly report from this spirit stone ...

Question to the Patrons.

Just curious of where you guys found my story at!

Chapter 166

In a faraway location, a small group of people was standing in a certain place. The atmosphere was tense, everyone had a solemn expression on their face while talking.

"What should we do... the Sect Master is still in seclusion, it would be unwise to interrupt him."

One of the old men in the room said in a grim voice. He then glanced at the others that were with him, this being three other men at his age and an old woman.

"No, we should report this as soon as we...

Chapter 165

Matt leaned down and touched the dead body of elder Ming on the forehead. The man's body soon started vanishing out of existence turning into dust before his eyes. What was left was his robe and whatever else he was wearing. Everything was tossed into the storage ring while Matt himself started to examine the new one he got as his loot.

'What do we have here...'

He noticed that the ring didn't really have much preventing him from peeking inside. He thought that someon...

Chapter 164

A shadow bent at an awkward angle turning into a claw as it tried going for Zhang Dong's throat. Before it could reach it's designated spot the man in white rapidly dodged to the side. His whole body was covered in glowing Qi energy, his hair fluttering in the wind while crackling with electricity.

Wu Ming did his utmost best to deliver killing blow after killing blow to this younger cultivator, but to no avail. His opponent was very slippery and even when he was unarmed he...

Chapter 163

"Halt, you may not leave!"

A man with a spear pointed at some people, with him there were many others with similar weapons and clothes. This was the Jade Grass City docks and these men were the guards stationed there. They were following a previously given order of not letting anyone leave the city that a superior from the sect had given them. 

They were having slight troubles as there were many people that came for the Dao Festival here. Everyone was going crazy...

Chapter 162

The whole Jade Grass City was in an uproar. Everyone was hiding in their homes or running for their lives, people were in full panic mode the moment they got wind of two nascent soul cultivators fighting it out in the city. This was a city with millions of people in it, but there were no such things as the police force or a fire department to help people out in the time of need.

Every prominent clan or sect that was living here just closed off their doors and hid away in th...

Chapter 161

The people had noticed that something was afoot. At one point the audience started pouring out, the communication jades had gone down so information wasn't going through as well as it should. The Dark Palm members formed a perimeter around the large building keeping all those people that wanted to escape there. 

Most core formation elders that were stationed in this city and were close by, went into the arena. The people keeping order outside were mostly in the foundat...

Chapter 160

The Zhang Clan members that were present here looked with awe at their Patriarch. Their eyes were glued to his glowing form and followed his every movement. They were quite touched that their leader had made his way here in such a short amount of time. He was even risking offending the Dark Palm Sect by defending them here.

"Master...Grandpa..."

Zhang Xue called out from the side while looking at her senior uncle and her grandpa that looked to be dead. Her brother was...

Chapter 159

A little bit earlier in a location between Spirit Spring City and Jade Grass City.

Thunder boomed and the clouds parted as some passerby's trembled in their boots. No one had enough time to react, the moment they heard the loud sound the being in the clouds was already gone. The only thing indicating that someone was even there was the straight path in the sky followed by hurricane-like winds. This was, of course, Zhang Dong racing towards his destination.

'I'm only h...

Chapter 158

Wu Ming took his time as he floated up in the air looking down at everyone that was in the mostly destroyed colosseum. The architecture of the area was trashed and it looked like a tornado and an earthquake went through this place.

There weren't many people left here, there were several Dark Palm members that were mostly beaten back by the triforce alliance elders. Besides that we have the group of junior members from the three clans that were now down on the ground, their ...

Chapter 157

       // Unable to determinate objects characteristic, need more data. //   

Zhang Jin's power suit's mechanical voice proclaimed after the question was asked. This AI was very basic so it had no advanced appraisal system like the one Zhang Dong had himself. The old man still couldn't get used to this strange treasure, was there a person trapped in it, or was it some kind of soul that was talking to him?

Yang ...

Chapter 156

People murmured among each other. Everyone clearly heard the city leader's voice before the large beam of light took off. They weren't sure what was happening, but the city owner probably had something to do with it. The clouds parted and they saw a giant golden lightning bolt firing off into the distance and golden lightning was something that the Zhang Patriarch was known for.

While the commoners gossiped with each other the Zhang Clan members were left stupefied.

Chapter 155

Earlier at Spirit Spring City in the dimensional regalia treasure:

The floating island in the void of the medallion had seen better days. The whole place was riddled with craters and rubble, even the buildings there were partially destroyed. The reason was the person who was in there and he was the one and only Nascent soul cultivator of the Zhang Clan.

Zhang Dong floated around while being in a seated position. His robe dangling downward due to gravity while he rubbe...

Chapter 154

"Brother! Noo...!"

Zhang Xue shouted out while still being stuck in the waiting room, the rest of the juniors were still stuck there and being guarded by some scary sect uncles. She was able to see everything through one of the small windows but she could only watch as her brother was getting tortured.

"Junior sister, you mustn't!"

Zhang Tai was holding onto the young girl, not wanting her to charge out. He knew the stakes and that this lovely girl would be pull...

Chapter 153

The people were silent yet again, not from being shocked about Zhang Liu's one-hit knockout. They were looking up into the highest VIP booth where Yang Kai was sitting in. Everyone here knew by now that this man had a bad temper and was quite unreasonable. He wouldn't have set up this bet otherwise. 

Everyone here just wanted to leave at this point. They weren't allowed though as various Dark Palm Sect members poured in and already surrounded the area around the colosseum to keep p...

Chapter 152

The girl looked at her hand and then at the back of the young man that moved past her. She kind of knew what this act meant, having the old 'texts' to go back to. Zhang Liu had learned it from his Master on one occasion.

It was one of the rare days that he and his sister were allowed to spar with Zhang Dong. Their Master wasn't really taking them seriously and only dodging their attacks while the two tired themselves out, he then gave them some pointers. The 'tag in' came t...

Chapter 151

Some people whispered, some were silent and others just baffled. The VIP booth that Feng Maling was in was above ground and people couldn't really see her well. The people that couldn't see craned their necks, wondering if there was another beauty in there that this Dark Palm Sect master was aiming for. Though, the moment they saw who was standing next to the Feng Matriarch they went slackjawed. 

"Is that a human-sized raisin?"

"My god... why would he want that o...

Chapter 150

Yang Kai waited for the right time to speak out. His disciple was now giving that Feng Clan girl a good beating, his master was quite okay with the tough handling of the lady. He didn't see anything wrong with it as he only cared about things related to him, other people that got in the way could be used and abused. 

"There they go..."

The Feng Matriarch finally got involved in the fight, throwing in the towel to stop it her aura filling the whole colosseum. The ...

Chapter 149

The red liquid dribbled to the ground, there wasn't much of it but this was enough to make this Deng Cai break out into a fit of rage.

"M-my face...m-my beautiful face...this is inexcusable..." 

Feng Nuana was still ready to go, she was dejected that the hit didn't go fully through but she still managed to land a hit. She didn't know what that guy was mumbling about, but someone that lost their cool during a fight was mostly an easier opponent.

"Stop whining you dweeb, ...

Chapter 148

The people in the audience went quiet instantly after the name of the next participant was announced. The uncomfortable silence got then replaced by faint whispering. 

"Wait... d-did he say, inner Dark Palm sect?... what is a person like that doing here..."

One person asked.

"Why would someone of that status be here... are they here to cause trouble?"

Another person asked.

"How should I know, this was supposed to be an event for the clans and no...

Chapter 147

People poured in like water and quickly filled up the seats. This world didn't have much entertainment with the lack of the internet or TV. So things like fighting tournaments were all the rage. It was very popular among men that were attracted to the contest between two warriors. It was less popular with the women, but they did enjoy seeing the good looking young men participating. 

The contestants were led to a side hall while the people in charge were preparing the ...

Chapter 146

The door shut behind the Nascent Soul elder. The man with the crooked nose didn't give away his emotions but he was glad that that man left. He noticed that the young lord Kai gave out a visible sigh, making him think that he was feeling the same way as he did. This man was someone that liked to gossip and gather information on various things, so he spoke up and tried to probe this young lord a bit.

"Elder Ming is such a composed man, isn't he? Heard that among the grand pe...

Chapter 145

The time was up and the last trial was over. The participants that were still inside the testing area, were forcefully removed by the teleportation formation that was embedded into the trial area. Even though some of the young cultivators were able to last till the end, not all of them were left with the three tokens. Some of them somehow managed to scrape by while hiding from the stronger participants, hoping to nab a token in the end, but to no avail.

A group of youths wa...

Chapter 144

The Zhang, Huo, and Feng clan members that were still in the trial made sure to search through the area. The places like that one with the embedded sword could be still visited as the threat of getting ambushed was lowered now. Going through it once more and collecting the treasures was now a possibility, the only problem was the lack of spatial rings to carry things around. 

The army of puppets that were guarding the more lucrative areas was the only problem now. This...

Chapter 143

Zhang Liu was together with a couple of his clan members, Zhang Tai had gone in a different direction as they were still looking for more of their clansmen. Liu had gone through a couple of small skirmishes with other practitioners so he already had an additional token, only needing one more now.  

His group was resting at the moment, they were at one of those spiritual herb gardens and they had just taken care of a trap formation that was previously here.

Chapter 142

"Hold still..."

A female voice could be heard accompanied by some groaning.

"Ugh...t-that feels strange"

The man groaned out while panting.

"Quite the cute sound there, for such a strong senior brother~"

The woman chuckled while some rustling could be heard.

"Hey, stop teasing... I'm trying my best here..."

The man replied in a shaky voice.

"Don't worry senior brother, I'll be as gentle as I can... just stay still for a moment...but...

Chapter 141

The whole small floating island rumbled due to the energies that were emanated, the source being a floating Zhang Dong who had his eyes closed. He was moving further up into the air going out of the range of his formation. The golden arcs of lightning energies started flying in all directions, scorching the ground underneath.

The man was too occupied with his ascension to the higher realm, not knowing that he was destroying the spirit herb fields that were painstakingly pla...

Chapter 140

The five hundred or so people were led to a large hall where they stood and waited. Everyone was keeping to themselves in the previously created groups, only a couple of people could be seen alone without any factions backing them up. This hall was mostly empty with torches lined up on the walls that shone brightly.

The trial participants had walked down into the unknown for quite some time before arriving here. The place they were led to was apparently deep underground und...

Chapter 139

While Zhang Jin was trying to soothe his hangover, the youths and some other clan elders were gathering at the last trial area. There would be close to five hundred participants. The entrance to the last trial was in a large building, the large doors had a phoenix and a dragon pattern on it, the two beasts seemed to be entangled in battle. The large door was still closed as it was an hour before the competition, the people would use this time to make their battle plan.

The ...
