Chapter 456 – Life 117, Age 21, Martial Master Peak
It was only the morning of our fifth day in the Shattered Blades Realm, and our stronghold had already been demolished by a giant Rank 3 demon bear. If this was the warm-up, then what would the beast tide throw at us? Rank 4 beasts? Rank 5? How were we supposed to survive such monsters? How was anyone?
Our Disciples had only been able to b...

Our fourth day in the Shattered Blades Realm started much the same as any other. We woke up, spent the morning practicing our professions, then entered the forest for a bit of hunting. However, an hour or so after leaving camp, my group ran into its greatest challenge yet: a pack of three Rank 2 demon wolves.
They emerged from the shadows ...

By the time the forest brightened, signaling the start of our second day in the Shattered Blades Realm, Ye Sheng and Bao Ming were already hard at work along the edge of our encampment, expanding and strengthening the dense thicket of brambles that sheltered us. As they were both wood cultivators without access to wood qi, this proved rather cha...

We were going to be trapped in this Small World for a total of seven days, and things would eventually spiral out of control. A beast tide was coming, and we needed to be prepared. As far as I could tell, none of the beasts that we had seen so far were part of the tide itself. They were just the weaklings that had fled in front of the tide’s a...

Stepping out of the portal, my sect and I found ourselves on a raised wooden platform, staring out across a sea of young men and women. Some looked back at us with barely controlled excitement. The rest weighed us with cold, predatory intent.
Before we could become too fixated on this crowd, an older man in the black-and-silver robes of th...

While everyone in the sect made ready to enter the Shattered Blades Realm, I slipped back to Whistling Arrow City, paid for a room at a modest inn, and lowered myself to the floor as I connected to an avatar in my inner world. Ever since my meeting with Emperor Li, I had been rushing around in a panic, guided by nothing more than a few cryptic r...

Trapped under Emperor Li’s icy gaze, I had to force my body to obey. My instincts screamed at me to flee, but there was nowhere to run. Swallowing hard, I reached into my inner world and retrieved the first memory orb that he had ever given me, letting it rest atop my open palm.
Emperor Li didn’t wait for me to offer it to him. A small...

Capable of housing more than two hundred cultivators, our newly conquered stronghold was far larger than we realistically needed. It might not have had any buildings where we could train our professions, but it had a dozen training yards, most of which we could convert into something more useful.
However, before we could begin work on reco...

As our first year as an Eight-Star Sect was swiftly drawing to a close, I forged the last of my meridians, joining YuLong and Meng LuYao as a Peak Master. This rapid advancement, combined with the poor combination of cultivation techniques I was using, meant that whenever I opened my acupoints, I was assaulted by a flood of unwelcome mental impu...

Guiding twenty-four children through the Broken Spear Outpost was like herding a flock of startled birds. None of them had ever left the city of their birth, so they stared at every stall, cultivator, and beast-drawn carriage with open curiosity. Their chatter, all of which was in Western Han, only made things worse. Anyone with eyes could see t...

While JiuLi and YuLong were dealing with matters in the Shi Clan, I dispatched Kan and Meng LuYao to the Su Clan. Ideally, I would have deposited them into one of Chang’an’s fields and had them enter through the city’s gates, but this risked drawing too much attention. So, I instead sent them directly to Kan’s long-vacant apartment withi...

Early in the morning, just as the halo above Chang’an lit up to usher in the start of a new day, JiuLi and YuLong appeared in the middle of the Shi Clan’s fields, a couple of kilometers to the west of the clan’s compound.
After getting his bearings, YuLong gave a firm nod and began walking down the narrow path in front of him. JiuLi,...

As soon as my short lesson on focus items was over, I returned to our sect’s villa and concocted an Energy Expulsion Pill for Meng LuYao, allowing her to begin cultivating a dual-element guandao-light technique. Then, since it would make studying significantly easier, I went down to the basement and started cultivating.
Using a Rank 1 gu...
