Chapter 58 Soul Syphoning Beetles

Xi Son’s current look wasn’t something to envy, he no longer had that haughty presence, and was more of a meek and docile kitten, instead of the confident lion presence he gave earlier. Whatever he faced didn’t seem so intent on keeping Xi Son’s mental integrity in mind, that and probably the taste of his flesh. He had a few b...

Chapter 55 Soul Stairs

Chapter 55

Thinking things through, I found myself in more of a bind than I thought could be possible. X’s presence was comforting but with so many Soul Formation level puppets standing right outside the barrier, I felt like a mouse being watched by a pack of hungry cats. Not the best feeling in the world.

Still, I...

Chapter 54 Conscious Transfer

Only to have hope re-ignited as the soldier dropped on its face when X showed up behind him. His head was torn in half, and his right arm dangled uselessly against his side, where thousands of cuts littered his body, X still stood, while a Soul Formation Puppet was laying on the ground. And this was all thanks to the fact that I had X...

CHAPTER 53 Overwhelming Odds

As I swam in the embrace of the universe, I came to a slight understanding of what space was. Emptiness, yet fluffiness, the Universe was empty, but at the same time, it literally had everything in it, a conflicting duality, unlike life and death, this was the existence and none existence at the same time. For even if the majority of ...

Chapter 52 The Primordial Serpent

We arrived at a new floor, yet again a bit smaller than the one under it. But on this floor, there didn’t seem to be anything of note besides the massive pillar in the middle of it. It was a square pillar made of an obsidian-like substance.

Before I could consult the poison god’s book, Xi Son hurried towards the stone, trying to pocket...

Chapter 51 The Bane of Man

The riders charged at us with ferocious impunity, if not for one final linked rope to cause a few to stumble I would have died right there and then, trampled by a warhorse.

The horse that fell in front of me, delivered its rider to my feet, concussed obviously but still looked whole, I dove my sword right at the small opening be...

Chapter 50, Against The Odds.

“Spears at the ready!” the captain shouted at the ten tightly packed lines holding the entrance to the enclosed space.

“Archers! Loose!” he called as the backline shot arrows that arced their way into the incoming cavalry. A few of the arrows fell harmlessly on the sand, but a good portion struck rider and mount, causing...

Chapter 49 Battle

I didn’t move, nor did the clone.

I didn’t need to act, first of all, I need to understand what the hell is going on. I’m in some Laughing Slaughterer’s pagoda, perhaps his trial area where he tests the cultivation noobs for lack of a better term. And the first test is a fight against one’s self, so I’ll need to prov...

X

Chapter 47

The train-sized snake wasn’t too keen on greetings and immediately dove at me, head first, fangs ready to gouge me whole in a best-case scenario, at least it would beat being chomped on and chewed to bits before turning to a gigantic cultivating serpent poop.

I urged my frail old body to dodge to the sid...

Trials and Tribulations

I moved through the large swaths of grass and open fields, trees rose ever so sparingly in this enclosed area, though I have little understanding of if this whole place was a part of this world, or from the stuff I read when I was back on earth, a separate enclosed dimension. Though unlikely, this place could probably be on some other side of th...

Into the Cave

Once we came down, we were stopped in our tracks while we gazed at the rocks. There was no seeming entrance to the said caves, if it weren’t for Xi Son’s confirmation that these rocks weren’t natural, no one could ever be able to convince me otherwise.

I thought high hard and low on where the entrance to these rocks could be but came...

Back Dealings

Chapter 43

The three of us stood up and Xi Son didn’t let us pay for our own lunch, we followed after him until we reached the city’s pavilion.

With Xi son’s identity as a high ranking noble married to an imperial consort, he has the right to access most of the Pavilion’s floor, and when we arrived to the sev...

Restaurant Friction

Chapter 42

Once we entered the Fu Shi restaurant, which by the way was an impressive ten-story tower building in the middle of the city, it looked prominent and amazingly decorated. The people within it were all high figures, the big wigs of the Empire.

Generals, high-ranking officers, great scholars, and even imperi...

Chapter 43 Making Friends

“Master Craftsman Shen Bao? I never heard of that name, still, what do you think about this,” the bald man said as he threw the gourd my way.

Immediately, my eyes began processing the gourd, it felt as if it was the most natural thing to do, especially after those months of work in my study.

“Pretty intricate, but fa...

Chapter 41 Procuring Resources

Several days went by as I continued to study the symbols. I even went around the city for a couple of days to clear my head off, had a few drinks, and practiced Star Cultivation, then resumed my work. I had great hopes for puppet making and I had great ideas to integrate into it so I wanted to be thorough while making the symbols.

Chapter 38 House Lu

I came upon the city lights in the distance, the lit torches and lamps gave the whole city a serene calm and peaceful image. A great contrast to what went on in the nearby forest.

Once I arrived to the city gate, a man flew to meet me. He seemed to be on a greater cultivation realm as he stopped me mid-way.

“Fellow cultivator, this...

Chapter 35 Among wolves

Chapter 35

I rode through the wind as fast as I could, flying is far faster than traveling using the bumpy slow ride of the carriage. The journey took less than an hour when I saw a prominent palace standing atop a city so wide that I couldn’t think it would exist even in modern-day life.

The city was clearly far b...

Chapter 35 Damsel in Distress

Two of the bandits drew their bows and shot at me, no warnings issued, they had a rather calm expression. Honed by years of constant faces with death. Fight or flight. And in a case where a cultivator is upon them, they knew that death was inevitable, so they would rather risk their lives for a lucky shot in the dark and kill the cult...

Chapter 33, History

I walked towards the palace’s massive gate while avoiding getting trapped by the spider webs that were covering everything. Not even the ground was safe from the white blanket. I had to cut my way through in some areas, where the webbing was just too much. And once I went past a certain point, I found myself at the door of the palac...

Chapter 31 Treacherous

I walked through the doorway, and inside was a man-built tunnel that led further down into the deep. The tunnel was large enough to allow only one of the spider's passage, and if only one of them comes at me I could handle it myself. The problem lays in the fact that I can’t use my poison breath here, mainly due to the strong wind coming from ...

Skittering Problems Chapter 29

I placed my feet on the sword and it easily carried my weight without it dipping back into the ground. At first, I stayed standing on top of the sword-like an idiot for a few moments. Mainly because I had no idea how this thing would even move.

Yet, the moment I thought about the tree a few hundred meters in front of me, the swo...

Gifts Chapter 28

Packing the library proved to be far easier than I thought would be.  Thanks to the poison god’s book having a dimensional pocket, it was able to suck in all inside it just as I thought about how I was going to start gathering the books.

The only thing left was what was left beyond the closed door frames.

Once I ope...

Chapter 27 Vow

Chapter 27

Nothing remained of the once glorious Cloud sect. All I could see were the smoking remains of burnt plazas and buildings. Caves that were no longer occupiable, and the sect master’s palace that seemed to have been rooted out of its place. And was no longer there.

What the hell had happened in here? I fum...

Chapter 26 Destruction

The days kept on going, slowly but surely, I managed to fully remove the ice from around the sect master’s body.

“Now, try and move,” I asked.

And the sect master did, she first started by wiggling her fingers and then her hand. Then slowly increased the range of motion until her whole arm was moving freely.

Chapter 25 Star Technique.

Morning came and my cultivation session has ended, I thought it would be best if I were to see elder Lao about the Star Weaving technique manual. He had promised to go and handle that affair for me.

Once I went down, I saw a small purple-colored book on the book stand that was not there. I approached the table and took a look at what seeme...

Chapter 21 Grand Elder

It wasn’t hard to find disciple Han’s house Actually, he was the only disciple of the only Receptarier elder of the Purple Cloud sect. A grand Elder named Lao Bofan. A new thing I learned. Apparently elder and grand elders are two different things. An elder is someone who is responsible over a certain activity in the sect. Like the Hall mast...

Chapter 20 Creeping Demise

Once I got the kid to the pavilion a couple older disciples came to carry him, they noticed the injuries and assured me with the following words “We’ll take care of him Shen Bao, Elder Yun requests your presence.”

“I’ll go check with him, please take good care of Meng Hao.”

“We will,” replied the disciple and left wit...

Chapter 15 Interrogation

The group landed at the gate’s entrance, and soon came a horse carriage, only the horse had six legs instead of four and the carriage seemed to be floating instead of having wheels. There was no one to drive the horse so it seemed to be able to know what it was doing.

“Get on, Shen.” Duan Lin said.

He opened the carriage’s do...

Chapter 13 Inner battle

I crouched down, though I had no idea why I did that, it’s not like if I crouched the monster will sense me less. Still, it felt like the right thing to do in such a situation. I continued crouch walking forward until I was next to the monster. Right as when he decided to breathe out.

The extremely cold temperature dropped like an anvil ...

You have continued your journey and reached Middle Lower Qi condensation, to which I congratulate you my disciple. But do not gain a shred of pride or arrogance, because for your current self you’re nothing but a speck of dust in an endless sea of sand. You have just begun you journey and I shall be your mentor.
