Lanhua hung off my arm as she handed her invitation to a guard, who looked at me strangely. He might have been the same one I met earlier, or maybe he was just confused seeing Lanhua so touchy.
But I wasn’t here to impress him.
Wenxi and her mother were right behind us. Unfortunately, the invitations were limited, and the Su Family...
2022-01-27 08:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostWhen I finally got up, once again thankful for my life mana, it was already well into the day. The sun was high in the sky.
I kept my eyes closed, patting around me expecting to find a soft body, but only touching sheets. I cracked my eyes open, realizing I was alone.
Throwing on my robe, I felt Phoebe’s ring pulse. I sensed around...
2022-01-26 08:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostRachel was lithe and pretty as ever. Kat had tied her up in a single long red ribbon and put the knot of the bow perfectly placed in her mouth.
Her rich brown hair flowed over the pillow and down the side of the bed. This was the first time I hadn’t seen her hair done up in her normal, extraordinarily long braid.
Wenxi closed the d...
2022-01-25 08:00:03 +0000 UTC View Post“You what?!” Tuomo raged. He charged me again, but Elder Su wrapped him with his domain and held Tuomo still.
“After a fair duel, this is all put to rest. Our family honor is restored. Agreed?” He spoke to Ming.
She reluctantly nodded. I had a feeling if this went in Tuomo’s favor; she wanted to interfere. “Men, seal the ...
2022-01-24 08:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostMing finally finished her absorption of the Phoenix blood essence and opened her eyes, activating her bloodline and releasing a new pressure onto the world.
“This is fantastic.” She jumped to her feet, full of energy.
“I’m glad you were able to merge the blood essence into yourself.” I said with a smile. Her bloodline was s...
2022-01-23 08:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostAt the top of the stairs, I looked inside and it was a vault full of treasure. Gold, gems, and mana crystals covered the floor, forgotten in return for the real prizes resting on pedestals.
“Quinn.” I drew her from her ring. “Go tell Michelle and the rest of my women that I’m fine. I’ve gotten to the end of the tomb. She needs to...
2022-01-22 08:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostAfter what seemed like far too long, I let out a breath filled with mana and assessed the surrounding space.
It was a long, cold corridor, filled with the same repeating stone pattern. Lit only by a few small mana crystals hanging in the corners.
“Anyone there?” My voice echoed down the hall with no response.
Kicking to my ...
2022-01-21 08:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostWe rotated guards while we took turns sleeping, but we remained unbothered through the night. The temperature dropped to freezing cold, and we were glad to huddle next to our fire, with mana so thin it was difficult to maintain our body temperature with mana alone.
Conserving mana was difficult, something that many of us hadn’t done to t...
2022-01-20 08:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostMing transported us using her domain for about half an hour before she needed to take a break. In her excitement, she had overtaxed herself. Not to mention the desert wasn’t nearly as rich with mana as we headed towards the monolith. To the point it was even less than out in the ambient world.
Luckily, it was around that point that the r...
2022-01-19 12:14:39 +0000 UTC View Post“How are you here? There shouldn’t have been another ascension for another seventy years.” Hendrick’s words made Quixi’s eyes light up in understanding.
Now they both recognized me. Quixi’s pretty face pressed into an ugly scowl.
“A lot has changed in our world. A sect’s mountain even fell.” I said.
There was ...
2022-01-18 08:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostMing searched my eyes for something. “You used three bloodlines, even two together. I thought the Yutu brat was exaggerating.”
I winced at having my secret exposed. “Surprise?”
“Surprise indeed.” She seemed unsure of whether I was a boon or a threat. In reality, I was probably a bit of both, depending on how her agenda al...
2022-01-17 08:01:01 +0000 UTC View PostThe tunnel was made of hard, packed dirt. It had clearly sat idle for some time. The tunnel burrowed straight under a massive tree at the center of the jungle, and there were indicators that the ants had burrowed up the tree as well as it was filled with hollow channels.
Multiple cultivators that practiced fire lit their hands ablaze and h...

Morgana finishing up after a nice hard workout at the gym. I know I'd work a little harder if she was my sparring partner ;)
2022-01-15 23:11:49 +0000 UTC View PostOther groups headed off from the tomb in search of the remaining ash beasts, wanting to claim enough to secure a strong position before entering the tomb.
It didn’t take long before cultivators started coming back empty-handed and dumping all the stones in the braziers. The Biji family had waited patiently, not in any sort of rush.
Aurora looked like she wasn’t too sure, but Mei was bouncing all over.
“Yes! Let him play. You already have tokens for him, and we are only a few rounds into the new game.” Mei grabbed a set of wooden miniatures for me.
They were far less impressive than their own miniatures, each formed from their own mana. Green, gold, purple...
2022-01-14 08:01:01 +0000 UTC View PostMarking the tomb's direction in my mind with several landmarks, I jumped off the peak and hurried in that direction.
Most of the other cultivators traveling towards the tomb had chosen the safer route through the crevices, but I was more focused on speed.
I wanted to get there sooner rather than later. I had no idea what I was going ...
2022-01-13 08:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostI needed to wrap up the battle with the eight-eyed freak in front of me before I was left behind.
“Dance!” The spider-like man in front of me screamed, swinging his chain weapons. They seemed to fill the air, whipping about. Whatever technique he used to control them was masterful. They moved such that my range of motion was incredibly...
2022-01-12 08:01:01 +0000 UTC View PostI was beginning to wonder if there really was a boundary to how much sex a person could have.
My wives had joined us in the shared soul space after I’d already gone a few rounds with my four vibrant mana beasts. Their renewed hope in having children seemed to have awoken their need for copious amounts of sex, despite the fact that we had...
2022-01-11 08:01:01 +0000 UTC View PostI woke up laying on top of a sleeping Bai.
“Looks like it wasn’t so hard on you after all.” Xiaobai laughed.
No longer in that strange soul space with Bai. I pulled myself off of her, seeing that we had done the deed in the real world as well.
Suddenly, I was far more embarrassed than when Xiaobai had seen me naked.
“My name will have little meaning for you, but you can call me Xiaobai.” She gave me a warm smile, despite the fact that she had found me trying to slay a mana beast she clearly was attached to. “Now, can I get your word that you won’t attack me or my friend?” She looked over at the rocky elephant to make it clear who her friends were....
2022-01-09 08:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostI speared through the water dragon’s heart as we both crashed back down into the lake below the waterfall. Waves washed out the bank and I stood atop it and wiped my hair out of my face.
It had taken some effort to bait the wary creature from its lair, but it had been worth it. I stood atop the peak fifth rank beast’s corpse in the lak...
2022-01-08 08:00:02 +0000 UTC View Post“Master.” Aurora’s voice woke me, and I lifted my head. I found myself in my inner world. “You’re awake.”
Her hands were on my chest, pumping as much life mana as she could into me.
I helped her, cycling my own mana and letting the life mana flood and restore me. I was glad that Tuomo had chosen to strangle me. If he’d ...
2022-01-07 08:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostWenxi convinced me that the baby pangolins would sell extremely well and would be taken care of by their owners. So we decided to bring them back to her mother to sell. Her initial estimates were that the baby pangolins would sell for several times more than the reward from the quest.
Unfortunately, when I agreed, I hadn’t considered how...
2022-01-06 08:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostApparently, while my mana beasts had been talking, Wenxi had been preparing something else. She stood before me in a white silk chemise with a bed behind her.
She stepped up and wrapped her arms around me as she kissed me boldly, her tongue pushing straight past my teeth like a surprise attack.
I was more shocked than anything, but a...
2022-01-05 08:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostAfter my conversation with Ming Feng, I was starting to reflect on Wenxi and my relationship. A good bit of it had been transactional, but we’d also spent a good bit of time together. So far, she seemed to accept me for who I was.
As Ming’s guards dropped me back off at the Su Family manor, our arrival caused yet another stir. Wenxi ca...
2022-01-04 08:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostI cursed, surprised that I hadn’t sensed the powerful beast.
But as it approached, its draconic aura washed over me, a pale imitation of my own dragon bloodline.
It radiated power. I could tell it was at the peak of the fifth rank.
The dragon splashed out of the waterfall, landing in the pond and sending a wave of water at bo...

I knew Madam Orchid had plans to train the Hua sisters. Something about their bloodline had excited the woman.
Then again, I knew that my mother had played with bloodlines in the mortal world. There where she was, akin to a go...
2022-01-02 08:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostBy the time we untangled ourselves from the drama in the street, the Su family was aware of our entrance. What seemed like the entire compound was out front waiting for us.
“A little much, don’t you think?” I asked Wenxi.
She squinted at me, trying to figure something out. “You aren’t really from the Jin Family, are you?”...
2022-01-01 08:01:02 +0000 UTC View PostTrue to Wenxi’s prediction, our group encountered no other trouble on our way to Blueheavens. They’d truly thought that one contingent of immortals could take us down.
Though, I was straining even my own ability to restore myself with cultivation rather than sleep.
Traveling with six wives wanting to cultivate and four horny mana...
2021-12-31 08:01:02 +0000 UTC View PostWithdrawing my mana beasts back inside their rings, I stepped out of the carriage to find a dozen men wrapped in black robes with demon masks covering their faces. “Hello gentlemen, what can I do for you?”
I reached out to get a sense of their power. They were definitely no ordinary bandits. All of them were at least fourth rank immort...
