Chapter 334 - Truths and Lies (XX)
What the hell is happening?!Lu Yuhan's mind was reeling, more so than ever before in his life.This entire 'battle'... it was strange. Stranger than anything he'd experienced before. Try as he may, even after purposefully ignoring the ache of his scar, he couldn't conjure half--no...
Chapter 333 - Truths and Lies (XIX)
Those... certainly were words. It wasn't words so much that made me wanna run as far away as possible as it was the sheer magnitude of Qi that suddenly seemed to pour out of every inch of that man's body. His robes began to shine in an ashen glow as winds stirred around his visage, all so wh...
Chapter 332 - Truths and Lies (XVIII)
It was strange. So, so, so strange.The more Lu Yuhan fought the strange boy, the more horrified he became--not at the prospect of being defeated, but at the realization that the boy's talents... were boundless. In all his years of living, he had never seen anyone quite like him--not even his Mas...
Chapter 331 - Truths and Lies (XVII)
It was beautiful, akin to a thousand flowers blossoming in the span of a few seconds, cradling the world awash with colors.At the moment of collision of two energies, a massive pillar of rainbow lights exploded upward and downward, shattering the stone of the arena so violently that it destabilized ...
Chapter 330 - Truths and Lies (XVI)
Light's eyes never wandered aimlessly; from the start, as others focused on the encroaching, shadowed figures, she focused elsewhere: on their Master. Here and there she would toss and art as a distraction, but she could not get her eyes off of the man in the distance. The way he fought was bril...
Chapter 329 - Truths and Lies (XV)
Dai Xiu felt a bit peeved; Xi Zhao got all the glory of killing that wretched woman so swiftly, while the rest of them just stood about like statues. Though she would never say it, when she saw that ugly man who dared bicker with Master pull the woman back together like he was sawing a broken doll u...
Chapter 328 - Truths and Lies (XIV)
Xi Zhao felt rather spent, having consumed well over half of his Qi reserves on the draw attack. Though it 'succeeded', there was a deep frown on his face; his control over the attack was still lacking, and the Qi spent wasn't proportionate to the level of attack, whatever the outside wo...
Chapter 327 - Truths and Lies (XIII)
Ignoring his Master's oddly cryptic words, Long Tao resisted rolling his eyes and casually struck his sword sideways in a stabbing motion; shadows untwined from the void as a figure cloaked in black groaned, holding the gaping wound for a moment before collapsing, dead, and rolling down the set ...
Chapter 326 - Truths and Lies (XII)
People were jumping off the edges of the seats, directly into the lake, all in a bid to run away. Few, however, twisted their heads and glanced back, and bore witness to the purest Sword Qi they'd ever seen--an entire tower-sized array of it burst forth like a leviathan unleashed, and devoured a...
Chapter 325 - Truths and Lies (XI)
... something weird happened. The flaming boulder that looked prime to rip everything apart and then set it on fire never quite reached Xi Zhao. He'd put his hand on the handle of the sword and was about to draw it out when the boulder just stopped, midair, and then... went up.Like, vertically u...

"Come on out, now! I need to fight you all!" Hm.Hmmmm.Okay, I'm scared.Holy shit, what is this status window?!! There's so much crap to unpack that I don't even know where to begin--no, no, I do. Of all the things, the most shocking one was actually 'Heavenly Chosen' trai...
Chapter 323 - Truths and Lies (IX)
I desperately ignored the thing that would undo my entire fabric of reality if I peeked under its hood, focusing on the fights.There weren't any as exciting as the wind-fire duel, though quite a few were in the tier below, such as the guy who purposefully let himself be cut and wounded as he the...
Chapter 322 - Truths and Lies (VIII)
... wow.Holy shit.I mean, I knew they would wipe the floor with whoever they fought, but isn't this a bit exaggerated? They were all still in the Foundation Establishment--no, wait, Light wasn't even there yet--and they did away with people an entire major realm above them so quickly and... ...
Chapter 321 - Truths and Lies (VII)
They were monsters, all of them. Lu Yuhan already suspected as much, but watching them battle had confirmed it--even if they were placed in the Order, they would be cultivated into Replacement Vessels rather than becoming Life Qi sources. He'd spent every day since he saw that young boy draw out...
Chapter 320 - Truths and Lies (VI)
Wan Lan watched the two kids give quite a trashing to their two opponents with a faint smile hanging on her lips and arms crossed over her chest. She never, not for a second, doubted them. Ultimately, the difference between Foundation Establishment and Spirit Manifestation Realm was precisely that S...
Chapter 319 - Truths and Lies (V)
Xi Zhao lazily escorted Dai Xiu with his eyes as she went up to the stands and sat down, while her opponent lay passed out on the stone floor still, only scooped up by a couple of cloaked figures a few moments later. He turned his attention to the man standing opposite of him--he was short, good two...
Chapter 318 - Truths and Lies (IV)
Dai Xiu stepped out onto the stage rather leisurely, glancing over toward the other end where her opponent was. It was a girl--or, well, a woman from the looks of it, who seemed to be in her thirties. She donned long, almost flaming red robes, tight against her skin, with scarlet hair let loose to f...
Chapter 317 - Truths and Lies (III)
The kids left their room one by one as we slowly made our way out, under the somewhat peeved gaze of the old woman that, thankfully, didn't kick us out 'cause of that kicked-down door.When I came out, I was stunned for a moment as the image of the city was resorted to the initial few days, w...

He still hasn't woken up.He's been lying on my bed for almost ten hours now, happily snoring. I thought about hitting him to wake him up, but just let it go; I was far too into testing out the limits of Surging Spirit Art to bother with the old cook. And, speaking of cooks, I think I might h...
Chapter 314 - Surging Spirit Art (V)
Lao Shun was shaking as he held the somewhat disheveled tome in his hands, his eyes glued to the pages. It was impossible.That was his first and last thought, yet with each page, it was as though some invisible force was taking a blade to his convictions and cutting them, slowly but surely. It shoul...
Chapter 313 - Surging Spirit Art (IV)
Why did Master suddenly leave?This was his room, after all.Long Tao smiled faintly as he looked down at the two new additions; he wasn't quite sure what to expect, but knowing his Master, it was probably something quite fascinating. He first focused on the pill, and its shimmering glow. It took ...

Okay.Fine.The very first shaman to have ever lived is still alive. How? I... I can't even begin to understand it. Though cultivators can live for a long time, technically speaking, I don't think even Emperors are literally immortal. In that, they can still die of old age, specifically.Now, t...
Chapter 310 - Surging Spirit Art (I)
After remembering as much as I could about the process of healing, I pulled open the system window, finding myself yet again overwhelmed; truthfully, I don't think there will ever come a point where I'm not overwhelmed. With so many options, I think I could spend centuries and come no closer...
Chapter 309 - Secrets of the Lake (VI)
Seeing Long Tao like that, and seeing Lao Shun having to part with such a precious pill to save him made him realize that I've been relying on the existence of pills entirely as means of healing wounds. But... that's not particularly smart, I don't think.Even healing pills, ultimately, h...

Long Tao nearly stumbled and fell when he heard the ringing laughter--he'd barely left the room for the hallway before they immediately gave in, causing him to grind his teeth. They couldn't have even waited for him to return to his room! ... letting go of the breath, he shook his head and s...
Chapter 306 - Secrets of the Lake (III)
What was its purpose?For the longest while, it did not know--it was born into the world so long ago that it had forgotten the years, to no parents, as though Qi itself gave it the first breath. Ever since, it had roamed the realms haplessly, searching for its purpose; sometimes it was imprisoned, to...
Chapter 305 - Secrets of the Lake (II)
The word must have spread as, from what I could pick up from the kids, nobody bothered them since Xi Zhao demonstrated his blade. Not necessarily because he truly was that strong, but because everyone just sort of assumed that only some super-duper ancient power could properly rear someone so young ...
