v4c64: Upending Heaven and Earth
🕑 Added 2023-11-25 03:14:44 +0000 UTCThe disciples of the Shrouded Mountain Sect were for a moment arrested. Mouths wide open as if they had been slapped by a writhing fish. The disciples watched on as the magnificent rooster took an obvious breath and began to stretch like a mortal before they did strenuous activity—making sure his body was in perfect shape. His movements were smooth and unhurried; and though he still bore marks on his body where Sheng had struck him, he seemed little worse for wear.
After he was satisfied… he stopped and turned his profound gaze upon Sheng.
“This one apologises for holding back. We may begin again,” he said, his voice deep and smooth.
The world was held spellbound by the sheer absurdity of it all.
A single voice called out from the crowd, thin and reedy, croaking out an exclamation “It’s a fucking chicken!?”
The spell broke. The crowd roared in shock.
============================
Zang Zhong stared at the arena.
A chicken. He had been humiliated by a chicken. He had failed to suppress a chicken. He had been surpassed by a chicken. It was a chicken a chicken a chicken—
More blood came out of his mouth.
=============================
Zang Fengfeng felt like her soul was leaving her body. She had… She had offered that to a chicken? To a Spirit Beast?! Oh heavens!
She stared at his bright plumage and handsome eyes and—oh heavens!
===================================
Yushang turned to Biren as he looked down into the arena.
She pointed at the chicken.
“Yeah. He's a chicken,” Biren replied evenly, as he squinted at the arena.
Yushang was at a loss for words for a moment before she spoke up, pointing at his sideburns. “Are you a monkey?!”
Biren snorted. “No, but my brother is.”
======================
Master Lishu of the Medical Pavilion paused, his eyebrow rising. He had come down to the emergency room to assist his disciples in what was surely going to be a rather bad situation; Sheng had sent many, many disciples into Lishu’s hands over the years after all.
He also knew Bi De and Ri Zu were close… so he decided to do a kindness to one of his new favourite students.
At first, all of his disciples had been watching the fight with interest.
Now, they were staring in shock… all except Ri Zu.
Lishu frowned at her reaction… and especially when she turned to look at him, a slight bit of apology in her eyes.
Ah. He felt the sting of betrayal. A promising student, a woman he actually liked, leading him on.
And yet… it did not make full sense for her to be some manner of nefarious infiltrator. She had been far too helpful, and had even trained able replacements. She challenged him and caught his attention on purpose.
He pushed down his rising feelings and beckoned Ri Zu forward.
She followed him to the back of the room.
“So… what exactly is going on here?” He asked, his eyes peeled for any sort of treachery.
“As Ri Zu and her companions have said; we were sent here to learn from the Shrouded Mountain Sect.” He could feel her openness and honesty. He looked into her dark eyes, and found no deceit. “And investigate the Shrouded Mountain Sect for demonic corruption, as a test from Bi De’s Master.”
That pulled Lishu up short. He paused. Zang Li had been a hollowed out husk—likely puppeted by a demon. He was defeated by somebody, and now their Sect was apparently under review by disciples of… Elder Shenhe going off fighting something demonic in the north…
Lishu swallowed. This had suddenly changed things.
“Who exactly is your patron?” he asked tentatively.
Ri Zu told him. A dull ringing began in Lishu’s ears.
“He isn’t just a story?”
=========================
Elder Chongyun swallowed thickly. He had nearly screamed in shock, but managed to contain himself. It would not do to lose his head in front of the Patriarch.
Still, it was a bare thing.
Elder Lulai, the older woman beside him, had shamefully dropped her cup and was staring with bafflement at the arena below them.
In truth, Chongyun did not blame her.
The man had transformed and ascended a Realm and a Stage.
Transformed into a chicken. Chongyun had suspected the man to be a spy for the Cloudy Sword Sect! He was either a Spirit Beast, or a man who had a transformation technique that turned him into a chicken. The fact that anyone would willingly take the form of such a beast was absurd… He even had a fox-fur vest on—
Something suddenly slammed into the forefront of his mind. A report from the Fulmination Squadron that had been in the Azure Hills with Zang Li when everything had happened. They had mentioned a chicken, a Spirit Beast commanded by Master Rou. A Spirit Beast with a fox-fur vest and a silver necklace. The creature had not been given a name in the report, but it was the splitting image of the thing in the arena at this very moment.
He wished that any of the men who had returned from the Hills were still around to confirm; but Shenhe had taken all of them with her north to remove them from any retaliation Elder Zeng might have had in mind for “failing his son.”
But now that he recognised the chicken… all of the pieces that had been bugging him clicked into place.
Chongyun had been suspicious of Bi De from the start. One did not just come out of nowhere that powerful and asked to join a sect. Or at least… not their Sect.
Chongyun had taken notice of the irregularity, though Bi De had spoken the truth about his master wanting him to learn the ways of the world.
He had initially suspected the young man to be a disciple of the Cloudy Sword Sect. It fit after all. Bi De’s mild personality, his insistence on reading, and his utter disregard for any kind of reward for his actions. In addition to this were the herbs he grew that had purifying properties, which were especially effective against demons.
The Inquisitors had considered that angle… but Chongyun himself had dissuaded them. They wanted more surveillance, and perhaps a quiet conversation, the fools.
If they were truly being audited by the Cloudy Sword Sect then the worst thing they could do was get in the man’s way. So Chongyun supported Bi De as he could, distributing the purifying herbs, and having more sent to those battling in the north.
Chongyun was cautious by nature… But he was not above some underhanded tricks. If they were being inspected by a member of the Cloudy Sword Sect… then he would be known as the helpful Elder who assisted him at every turn. If they passed whatever test was in store for them, there would be rewards; but if the rest of the Sect failed,there would hopefully be lighter punishments.
And if he had not been of the Cloudy Sword Sect at all, then they got some extremely useful herbs and a talented disciple.
Yet… the Rooster was a spy for the Cloudy Sword Sect.
His hunch had been utterly correct.
For Master Rou had sent his chicken to check them over for demonic taint, after they failed to act upon his first hint. He had sent a Spirit Beast to infiltrate their Sect and make sure they were doing as he ordered.
Chongyun swallowed… And then flinched as the Patriarch’s lightning Qi exploded out of his body.
“Someone seems intent on making a fool out of our Sect with this farce. Whoever it is I shall destroy them,” the man declared as he rose to his feet, stalking forwards to leap from the box. “They dare to have a Spirit Beast as our Young Master’s final opponent? I shall stuff the creature into a soup pot—”
“Now, now. None of that, boy,” an amused voice declared from behind them. Everybody in the box froze before wheeling to look at where the voice was coming from… because it was speaking from within the box.
In the box was a person, sitting in the Patriarch's formerly vacated chair, and who was even now practically lounging in it.
The voice issued forth from a ragged old man wearing a rice hat. His beard was unkempt and would not be out of place on the face of a beggar or a street-sweeper. His clothes were rough and worn. A smell hit Chongyun’s nose— dumplings and cheap wine.
All of the members of the Shrouded Mountain Sect sucked in a breath—because none of them had sensed this old man even move. Between one instant and the next, he was suddenly in the room, in the Patriarch’s seat and…Chongyun gaped as the old man took a pull of the Patriarch’s wine. He examined the bottle and huffed. “Hm. Mediocre. If you’re going to get something expensive, make sure it actually tastes good.”
The man was drinking the Patriarch’s wine and complaining about it. It was Spirit Wine of nearly the highest grade! And he had just called it mediocre?!
And then he had the further gall to completely ignore all of them and fix his attention on the man and chicken who were now sizing each other up.
The sheer audacity of the man was something that made Chongyun want to spit blood—and made the Patriarch grind his teeth so loud it sounded like a landslide. The air itself began to feel like a storm as the Patriarch’s Qi turned wrathful. Chongyun flinched as an expert in the Sky Realm flared his Qi, then focused all his attention on the man who had sat in his chair.
“You court death,” the Patriarch rumbled like an oncoming storm. He advanced on the old man, murder in his eyes. “Who dares to enter my Sect and insult us so? I shall fly your skin from your muscles and keep you alive for a thousand years in agony for this.”
The old man sitting in the chair nonchalantly lit his pipe.
Chongyun, on the other hand, realised that things were about to go very poorly. The Patriarch’s rage spiked even higher.
“You dare—” the Patriarch began, his Qi making Chongyun shudder. It felt like the largest storm imaginable was about to vent its fury. A mortal in this room would have died instantly from the pressure alone. The world shifted and started to crack as the Patriarch began to express his domain, imposing his soul upon the world.
Storm Clouds and lightning flashed without ceasing as the Patriarch’s body began to decompile into pure lightning.
The old man pushed up his hat, revealing his eyes.
He gave the Patriarch a singularly unimpressed look. Then, he changed slightly. His body shifted. The beggar faded and an Emperor revealed himself clad in qi. A Sovereign of Cultivation.
Chongyun barely resisted the urge to throw himself to the floor and kowtow. He had no idea who this man was; and clearly neither did the Patriarch.
But recognition was unnecessary in the face of a monster.
It was almost gentle, the way his Qi grasped the Patriarch’s own burgeoning domain and snuffed it out.
The Patriarch’s thundering voice caught in his throat. The man’s pupils dilated and sweat began to pour off his body. The lightning disappeared as if it had never been. The Patriarch was forced to once more be a man, rather than an avatar of the storm.
“Do be quiet,” the old man said kindly. “I want to watch the match.”
Chongyun did not move. The Elder held his breath, it took all he had to be still.
The old man simply smiled as the battle below them began anew.

Shen Yu arrives, and does Shen Yu things.
one more chapter this week!

I do hope that Ri Zu and Master Lishu stay in touch. I can picture them and Mei exchanging letters on healing elixirs and experiments etc
D J Meigs
Shen Yu never disappoints. Though BiDe still takes the cake!
wanderer117
that sounds like a good correction to me
Binge Reader
It's firmly in the "you lose" no possible exceptions category of power difference. Especially with Shen Yu explicitly having an invuln his lessers field.
Melanie Me
I was thinking.... (I know not a good habit), If the SMS patriarch is in the Sky realm and Gramps is in the Imperial realm, could it be that he is way way stronger than the Patriarch not just one realm stronger... but the patriarch could be first stage Sky realm and Gramps is Fifth stage Imperial? Isn't that way way stronger?
Melanie Me
Shouldn't it also be corrected as SPITTING image not SPLITING image as referenced to Bi De by Chongyun
Igor Kaplunov
Shen yu just performed a "Boop" technique
Randall Brynsvold
Her actions were at odds with those expected from a nefarious infiltrator. (But... if I read the author's original version completely stripped of context, I'd assume it came from this story.)
Empty Shelf
He won't. Or more accurately, he can't. Cultivating the way he does is incompatible with Immortality, which is why Shen Yu was so opposed to it. It was this realization that almost drove Xiaoshi to betray Tianlan in the past.
Dj Schmitt
Honestly shower thoughts after reading everything 😂😁
Dj Schmitt
Honestly I hope Jin become an earth immortal, and how gramps will brag to others about, “a boy I pick off the streets shoveling shit to learn the courtly characters disciple of the cloudy sword sect who knew and learned of heavens path but found it wanting and with a fractured soul he learned to bless the earth and earth blessed him as he reached immortality but not ascension for he shall live as earth. The power of a province no the very empire itself you’d need to kill, yet he is no Emperor but a Farmer who not commands his fields but raises them with heavens wisdom and the earths blessing.
Randall Brynsvold
Yushang has the extra connection with the Fa Ram team because she's certain they're good people. The other two may be slowly backing away from that guy who hangs out with a monster chicken.
Randall Brynsvold
Words can have multiple meanings, and context matters.
Randall Brynsvold
The Shrouded Mountain folks fear and respect strength and reputation (not virtue so much as the reputation for virtue). They respect Jin for his strength and his connection with the Cloudy Sword Sect. Jin being allied with someone much, much stronger would *not* reduce their respect for Jin, but may increase their fear.
Javier van der westhuizen
I would hope so, especially if the author claims there is supposedly one more this week
Timothy Dana
Will there be another chapter today?
V01D
“it did not make full sense for her to be some manner of nefarious infiltrator” - the phrasing here is a little awkward? To me, this feels less clunky: “the idea of her being some manner of nefarious infiltrator did not fit her actions” If there’s anyone who would likely temper the beliefs about Iron, it would be Bi De. If nothing else, he might be able to get him to understand that if he DOES break someone, he should take responsibility for helping them rebuild themselves. Han’s skills would likely be helpful to him, as well as Yushang’s ability to determine trustworthiness (meaning she can be a good litmus test for how worthwhile it is to listen to someone’s advice.) That’s if the two don’t come with them…
V01D
It’s kind of like how the term Master gets used in Star Wars. Basically, ‘sensei’
V01D
I also have the feeling that before he met Jin, he was basically wandering around aimlessly, somewhat despondent (whether he was aware of it or not is a different thing) Given how excited he was to find Rou…
Randall Norman Pick
I think Lishu's reaction is my favorite.
Andrew Denton
Maybe only the Patriarch is sky realm, and that's why he's the Patriarch.
Andrew Denton
Divine is higher than Imperial. So it would make sense that while normally in the divine realm, he's currently in the imperial realm from the effort of, as you say, suppressing his taint. Taint.
Z H
Exactly! And it's not even really that she's giving him the most relevant info out of respect, it's just that Shen Yu is CLEARLY the answer that Lishu was asking for because again that how English WORKS. People do not typically give nonsensical answers to straightforward questions, unless the author is a complete hack and that's the only way they know to "build tension" in their work. Now unless people are just not that fluent in English this shouldn't be that complicated, this is basic sentence and narrative structure.
Melanie Me
I hope Shen Yu protects Yun Ren too.
BargleNawdleZouss
Indeed. However, I expected all three to turn and look at Yun Ren, not just Yushang.
Randall Brynsvold
Their initial reactions were given at the end of the previous chapter. Yushang was the only one so far to look to Yun Ren for an explanation. "Liao Yushang’s eyes had gone completely blank. Che Han had dropped the dumpling he was stress-eating, while Shao Heng had just looked completely befuddled."
Randall Brynsvold
Bi De would have accepted the loss and wouldn't have transformed except Shen Yu showed himself and prompted Bi De to reveal his full power and continue the fight.
Duke of Coffee
(Zang Zhong stared at the arena. A chicken. He had been humiliated by a chicken. He had failed to suppress a chicken. He had been surpassed by a chicken. It was a chicken a chicken a chicken— More blood came out of his mouth.) Mr Zang suffered the worst of it all. 😉
Nicholas Grey
From our point of view, sure. I was wondering more about the cultivator cultural rules
John D Jones
It's actually worse for the SMS than some of them think. They think Bi De might be from the Cloudy Sword Sect. But the Cloudy Sword Sect is still... a sect. An organization. It has rules, procedures and bureaucracy. The SMS is actually being evaluated by Shen Yu. And Shen Yu will do whatever the fuck he feels like doing, possibly up to and including "kill every one of them from the Patriarch down to the lowest servant."
Logrus
Shen Yu doing Shen Yu things... it's fun when the old monster is on your team :P
Michael Fannon
I thought Gramps was in the divine realm? Nezin said he was in the imperial realm, but then gramps said he was at a realm below normal because of the demon taint before meimei removed a big chunk. So wouldn't that make him currently in the divine realm?
Michael Fannon
So she likes good looking cocks that stand tall and proud. What's wrong with that?
Derek Walker
If I recall Lu Ri knew Shen Yu existed but thought he died long ago. He was surprised he was still around. So it’s really like only those in the imperial realm or elders of the CSS know he’s still alive.
John D Jones
Someone to absolutely not be fucked with for fear of having that same Monster crush them in response.
WolfKnight22
Hahahhahhaahahahahahaha
John D Jones
To me it's not about syntax word games. Ri Zu likes and respects Lishu, so she's giving him the most relevant information. Yes, Bi De's master is Jin and her own master is Meiling. But the most vital info for Lishu is that Ri Zu and her friends are working for that legendary, terrifying cultivator in the Imperial Realm, Shen Yu, who is right the fuck there, right the fuck now.
John D Jones
She wants some Fa Ram Hot Chicken.
wanderer117
I shall fly your skin from your muscles and keep you alive for a thousand years in agony for this. should be I shall flay your skin from your muscles and keep you alive for a thousand years in agony for this.
Andrew Denton
Be Di has frequently referred to Shen Yu as "Master". Since that started, though, Jin has been "Great Master".
BlueMage_VT
I am actually impressed the Patriarch is Sky Realm, I had assumed all Elders of the SMS were Earth Realm.
Proteus Jones
"Yo! Where the human women at?"
Justin
Will this make matters worse for Jin. His disciple is under a Monsters wing, so who does that make him in the sects eyes.
Scout Mills
Bi De is currently apprenticed to Shen Yu, making Shen Yu his current master.
Skylar
“This one apologises for holding back." Bwahaha😂🤣😆🔥
Echo Sparksong
Exactly. You are paying to read the rough draft after all...
Echo Sparksong
Oh, My! 😱😆😁🤣
Melanie Me
It isn't that I don't like the books or the characters the journey is half the fun. But sometimes too much anticipation is.... not good. It is like saying I will give you $1 mil. But you gotta wait. Then the next week, wait again. Oh but after 65 weeks of waiting you kinda go eh
Tarmandan
The smart elder admitted it himself. Someone as talented as Bi De does not randomly join their sect. The higher ups in the sect know their place in the global pecking order.
Paul Boros
Pretty sure that would be 'Biren'!
Paul Boros
Shen Yu has been Wandering around as Gramps for a very long time. Long enough that only the people who still know him remember he actually did what the stories say... That makes me wonder how old Lishu is
Cyrus McEnnis
I was thinking of Bi De saying "'scuse me while I whip this out", or "Candygram for Young Master!"
Paul Boros
There is non-zero chance of Shen Yu not doing something in this situation... but it's as close to zero as possible
Paul Boros
A Rule 34 situation.
Samuel Terrazas
I love that Shen Yu came in to cover Bi De and protect him from the wrath of the Patriach. Now that is a master and a leader
Randall Brynsvold
If the journey and the character details don't keep you interested, you might be happier with reading it in finished book form, or after the series is completed. To each their own.
Randall Brynsvold
Ri Zu mentions Bi De's Master (assumed to be Jin, who was the one originally concerned about demonic influence there and who is Bi De's only Master), then Lishu asks "Who exactly is *your* patron?" as in "who is running your operation here".
Just A Dude
Well, they're fully sapient and capable of communicating consent, or lack there of, so they pass the Harkness Test. After that, it's all a matter of personal opinion.
Just A Dude
Nope, straight to an anime, done by the same team from Madhouse that did OPM Season 1. Only way it can be done justice.
Randall Brynsvold
Ri Zu doesn't have any weird facial hair disguise, and she wasn't the one in front of Yushang at that particular moment. Questions about whether Ri Zu is a spirit animal, knowing that Bi De is "her man", will come next.
Randall Brynsvold
The home team passes inspection. There's still a squad in the field that has been led by the nose by a demon.
Randall Brynsvold
I don't remember that. Pops had to hide his Qi so he wouldn't be sensed as an unfamiliar potential threat, and he seems to also have an effective Don't-Look-Here technique.
Michael Foat
Que inquisition shitting pants as they realize they gave the intermediate keys to someone who sided with the foxes and knows Shen Yu. Whether gramps actually does anything (or needs to) is another story
Randall Brynsvold
I wonder if he'll do some taunting, or whether that's beneath him unless he has to mess with the head of an opponent to buy time (as with Lu Ban while he was protecting Xiulan).
Orion1024
Take my like you filthy animal
Old Dog
As always, thank you for another awesome chapter.
Szymon Szczełkun
He is just used to being despotic with his unrivaled strenght in the region moreover strong cultivators tend to not come to poor places or when they neccesity to , they usually go about it head on by storming the sect , announcing their presence and actually looking the part . For this guy who takes grandeur and his hollow face for granted it's probably unfinkable that someone with enough strenght would take roundabout methods and look like commoner instead of just using force up front and looking and acting like peerless master .
Szymon Szczełkun
and the other is more of a dick
Umut Numanoglu
Typo: I shall fly your skin -> flay Thanks for the chapter
Z H
This all going to end with Yun Ren holding his sword to his own neck and shouting "Nobody move or the Fox gets it!"
Demian Buckle
Thank you for the Chapters.
Z H
It's not syntax rule lawyering, it's common sense and just basic understanding of the English language. Come one, stop trying to make things unnecessarily complicated.
Z H
It's time for Shen Yu's stories to come on.
Randall Brynsvold
When Bi De says "Master" to Shen Yu, it's a title of respect (short for Master Shen Yu), not a declaration that he is Bi De's personal Master. In Bi De's head, "Master" always means Jin. I think that when he talks about his Master with others, he's always been referring to Jin. When Shen Yu agreed to take Bi De on as a student/disciple, this is what he said: "Bi De. You asked to learn from this Shen Yu, so that you may protect your Master and my Grandson. I shall accept this. You shall forthwith be a disciple of Shen Yu, as your Master before you." Shen Yu acknowledges that he doesn't take Jin's place as Bi De's Master.
Sebastian Rubin
Amazing. Just what I needed after a crappy couple of weeks!
Truedragon5374
Well in defense of the SMS, even senior decides of the man's own Cloudy Sword sect don't think he's real, much less a former member. Seriously appart from the demon war the guy has probably been out of the public eye for a few centuries.
STORRM
HYPEEEEE!
Truedragon5374
Like the Joker once said "I might be crazy enough to take on Batman, but the IRS? NO THANKYOU!"
DrNutella
But you forget, Jin is and will always be "The Great Master". Shen Yu is just Master...
Cyrus McEnnis
Oh man. I suddenly had an image of Bi De starring in a Wuxia version of Blazing Saddles, and it was glorious.
Borigi
They should fail since they where infiltrated by demons. They just got lucky that all the demons are out of the sect at the moment. Kinda makes it worse, getting infiltrated by demons, finding out that an inner disciple got bodysnatched and still letting the rest of the demons escape without noticing them in the first place.
Matt
I didn’t see your comment before making mine, but great minds!🫡
Borigi
And Fengfeng unlocked a new fetish
Matt
Lishu’s response is easily my favorite. We all knew Gramps was going to face slap someone effortlessly, which was hilarious. Snuffing a thunderstorm like it’s a candle was epic. But the wise, deliberate elder who hides his emotions/compassion in a cutthroat sect being surprised into acting like a country bumpkin was more entertaining to me. Especially since they claim to be a top sect. If they were as big a deal as they claim, then they should know he’s real.
J Klugh
Lot of good reactions to Bi Di and Gramps from named characters, but my absolute favorite is the random anonymous character yelling out from the crowd, “ It’s a fucking chicken”
The-Nowhere-Man
I do hope our favourite cultivators take advantage of all the eyes on them and Shen Yu's presence for backing to reveal the truth of the Shrouded Mountain sects history to everyone at this tournament
Anonymous
Well, one of them is a rooster.
Cindermoth
Remember that Shen Yu isn't just in the Imperial realm, he's at or very near the top of it. So the difference isn't just a realm, but likely also several stages. And it's a fair assumption that the distance between stages also increases the higher the realm.
Anzer'ke
Lishu not having known Shen Yu was real is a great way to bring back the perspective of where the SMS sits in the hierarchy of Sects. Where the big kids teach their disciples that the Unconquered Blade is totes real, and the ants have never even heard of him, the SMS has heard the stories but is too far from the big leagues to have any idea of the truth. Great subtle worldbuilding. Love it.
Anzer'ke
Usually the gaps between Realms just get wider and wider as you go up, so it fits the genre conventions. I'm more fascinated by the glimpse of just what a Sky Realm cultivator looks like in battle.
David Giles
Several of Shrouded Mountain's Elders are very glad they've been kindly to their auditors.
Michael Foat
Or go live action
Runcible Technician
Its so awesome that the Cloudy Sword sect have the reputation of heroic asthetics. Makes it all seem more epic.
a passing Fnord
When the hype is real.
Matt Pendragon
I know he's done it before but to me it feels wierd for Bi De to refer to anyone other then Jin as his "Master" like its fine if he calls him master directly but when referencing who his master is to others Jin feels better maybe Shen Yu can be his patron
Memememe
Fengfeng having some white woman tendencies right there.
Memememe
I think they all know who Shen Yu is, but they just think he's a myth. Master Lishu was just the only one who was directly told who he was.
Deathlokke
And you don't think she's above those games? Remember, her master is Meimei; that would be perfectly in line with her personality.
Kasinki
Oof. A realm difference in that level between Sky and Imperial is even worse than from initiate to profound, huh? Makes sense but damn, Sheng Yu is so powerful even these Sky Realm 'experts' don't recognize him LOL. Thanks for the chapter CF!
Net
"no but my brother is " :))
Seth
Fucking excellent.
Duke of Coffee
Shen Yu is going Shit you things indeed. 😜
Melmoth
yyyyyyyyyyYYYYYEEEEEEESSSSSS! Finally Shen You reveals himself and it is as badass as it's supposed to be! Thank you so much for the chapter.
Carlos Torres
Can a cultivator have a heart attack? Cuz all these blood spitting clenched jaws has got to be hell on your blood pressure with cultivator strength.
Remo Williams
Anime would be great. But, you have to walk before you can fly.
V
lol. Shen Yu things indeed.
Gardor
Well I mean, she said that investigating the sect was a test from Bi De's master, and then is immediately asked who her patron is. So it's clear Lishu is asking "and who's Bi De's master?", and I'm assuming the only answer to that would be Jin, right? So there'd have to be some sort of rule lawyering syntax word game fuckery for her to think that the most appropriate answer to Lishu's question is Shen Yu.
Stan Cornett
OMG this is what i have waited for. OMG OMG Love it. Keep it coming. Completely at the edge of my seat now.
Ender419
It’s obvious Fengfeng loves the cock whether it’s in human form or au natural. 🤣
Mike lee
Very excited for the battle
Bender
Serious flex going on. Loving it. Typical Patriarch being put in place....can't help not love this!
Andrew Denton
Bow-chicken-bow-wow.
TheBugEater
Shen yu things are bad ass
Andrew Denton
Old Ling's at the bar, drinking alone.
BelligerentGnu
So fucking hype.
Melanie Me
Was it a short chapter or did it seem that way after no chapter on wed.? Ugh. Nice enough chapter but..... the foreplay is getting a bit long and boring. No climax. I do hope it gets better. Hope he doesn't kill off any of the beloved characters. We'll time to look at my TBR list.
John D Jones
Actually, now that I think about it, Ri Zu didn't say that her "Master" was Shen Yu. She was asked who her [i]patron[/i] was. And in this case, her (and Bi De's) patron is Shen Yu.
Nicholas Grey
Fengfeng is still totally down for it… Wonder what the actual taboos are regarding “relations” with Spirit Beasts? After all, cultivator “bloodlines” gotta start somewhere…
El Squidd
Yasss Shen Yu yaaaaaas
The Fergun
Can't deny Shen Yu has style. Thanks for the chapter!
Nicholas Grey
This will almost certainly be one of the illustrations for the light novel 🤣
jord
Excuse you, you mean anime. This needs motion and sound.
jord
The library show? man that's a blast from the past...
BargleNawdleZouss
What were Fat Han's and Shao Heng's reactions?!? What about Old Ling?
Nick
Tftc
BargleNawdleZouss
It makes complete sense that of everyone at the Shrouded Mountain, it is Master Lishu who knows about Shen Yu.
Cam
Perfect chapter! Thanks CF!!
Javier van der westhuizen
What a reward for finishing an assignment, I am tweaking for the next chapter
John D Jones
We didn't actually see/hear what Ri Zu told Lishu, but it's not like Lishu would have thought that Jin was somehow a myth. Figure one prominent aspect of the legend of Shen Yu is that he tends to render judgement on the unworthy. The Shrouded Mountain Sect has been less than worthy.
Barry Morgan
Awesome. This episode: Shen Yu! Next episode (presumably): Proud Cock vs. Arrogant Dick.
Ashlee Jacobsen
Yes, that's why it's so funny
Andrew Denton
It's very interesting to have the elder's view of things revealed.
Quixotic
blue balls
Andrew Denton
Shen Yu's gotta Shen Yu.
Ibiso Charles
Thanks for the chapter and can’t wait to see how it all goes down.
Gardor
Did Ri Zu say their master was Shen Yu? And the medical pavilion dude thought Shen Yu was a myth?
CringeWorthyStudios
I’m honestly not sure which reaction I find most amusing between Zang Zhong, Yushang or Fengfeng… like, they’re all just amazing.
Splutty
Oh good. I can go to bed now. And hopefully the next one soon! lol
Remo Williams
This has to be made into a manga. For this moment alone, at least.

I’ve thought it a million times between chapters, books, series and Authors but this is the first time I’m writing it down. “Cliff Hanger, hanging from a cliff. And that’s why he’s called cliff hanger!” From a kid show I watched in my youth called “Between the Lions”

I loved the instant assumption that Yun, not Ri zu is an animal.

Lishu's and Fengfeng's reactions are the best. Fengfeng getting hot and bothered of that magnificent cock, and Lishu finding out the man, the myth, the legend that is gramps is very much real.

In all fairness, it is truly a magnificent cock.

Love the level headed elder always my favorite character. Being cautious is being cowardly being smart and taking in all the information before acting is preferable. Not only for the long term because sometimes it can seriously help in the short term..I'm not sure what the patriarch is thinking when an old motherfucker appears out of nowhere. He doesn't notice no one notices and he's in a room surrounded by elders...that's not normal..

Ah, Gramps gently shushes the Patriarch like a slightly spoiled child.

matthew gilley
I love the explanation of where the azure Hill squad had gone and why they didn't recognize the names. It was a good detail
GreenB
Too short! Ah! It's all cliff hangers!
Sean Graham
Arg, more cliffs! All the time, cliffs. Behold, my forest of... cliffs! Still loved it, Bi De's swag is endless, Shu Yu does bad ass things.

They pass inspection. They are assholes yes, but as Jin might say, Cs get degrees.
Weird 3dud
I thought it was mentioned somewhere that the patriarch would recognize Gramps if he saw him, or am I mistaken?

Fly the skin -> flay the skin
Oh that was absolutely worth the wait.

We do a bit of trolling around here.

Shen yu's got swagger

'I shall fly your skin from your muscles' Should prob be 'I shall flay your skin from your muscles' Though I'm not sure if 'your skin from your muscles' or 'the skin from your muscles' sounds better. Using your twice in a row feels a bit unnecessary and clunky imo. Might just be me though.
