Still a couple more chapters. Billing will be paused for march, because billing a full month for the last chapter feels wrong.
Break will likely be a month, as I edit and reconsider the direction for the next volume. I apologise for the scuffed end to the volume, it snuck up on me super har...

In the dim glow of a light stone Tie Delun took deep, even breaths as he worked alone. He was standing in the middle of a granite tube, one twice as tall as he was. His hammer gently tapped out an even beat on the back of his chisel. Each tap was uniform in power, and each movement of the chisel ...

Rearing the striker back, he swung forwards a second time. The Gong sounded; its call, a command that would have the White Tigers gather. It made his ears ring, being so close to the loud noise. It was scary, like thunder! But Big Sis had asked him to ring it! So he did! He was a good boy!

It was a scene of levity, compared to the oppressive atmosphere that Nezan had created.
To say Su Nezan was ecstatic was an understatement. Every moment since Yun Ren and his companions had come back with their tale had been spent in a state of bliss that he had been certain he would never be able to feel again.

The flying sword technique was typically for a single individual, but the sword they flew on was as large as Shen Yu’s presence.
Zang Sheng woke instantly when he felt the power descend from the Elder’s box. It would have been impossible not to; the power the man emanated felt like all of Sheng’s ancestors had had their funerary tablets broken.
