The crystalline monster kept up its dance through the sky. One step after another. It was aggravating how long the fight was taking, but I couldn’t risk speeding things up. If I rushed things, I could create an opening. That was why I needed to keep at range and keep pressuring the monster.
... 2023-09-28 22:33:05 +0000 UTC View PostMy danger sense activated in an unusual way. I paused from killing another monster while assessing my surroundings. No hostile targets nearby. Calculating probable sources of threat. Long range observation most likely.
I quickly began to change my current location. The sense of being observ...
2023-09-28 22:32:33 +0000 UTC View PostWhatever technique was being used to track me, clearly wasn’t working. The senior cultivators did their technique, but nothing happened. They repeated it again, but nothing happened a second time. No one whispered or commented.
I was in the back of the group and had to look between others...
2023-09-27 22:51:58 +0000 UTC View PostI was killing a beast every half minute or so, and that time was decreasing as more beasts rushed into the area. I had lost track of the pursuing cultivators, but I wasn’t about to just leave the area. I had no doubt that my pursuers were attempting to surround me and would attack the moment I ...
2023-09-15 23:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostAn intense lance of fire targeted the air ship. The summoned monsters in the way were instantly dusted and the airship was hit. It took damage, and quickly maneuvered out of the way as the monster moved to intercept it, while I was right behind.
As I closed in on the monster, it stopped and...
2023-09-03 00:18:54 +0000 UTC View Post“No,” Elder Zedong said and shook his head.
“There is no way?” I asked and he let out a sigh and gave me a tired look.
“We were defeated once. If you want people to help you, hire a sect, but even then, they would refuse. No one, not even the first child of an Immortal would...
2023-09-01 23:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostTarget located, engaging. I spun through the air and launched myself at the target in front of me. It dodged. I countered with fire beams. Target suffered minor damage. It has self-healing ability. Still retreating, overall combat ability judged to be low, move in for close engagement.

2023-08-31 23:02:00 +0000 UTC View PostI grabbed onto the summoned being. A single digit quickly pierced its body. The energy within it was quickly taken over by me. The link back to the physical being, attempted to be cut. But I was ready for such an eventuality.
As the tether was closed off, my own energy created a tether righ...
2023-08-31 23:01:01 +0000 UTC View Post“Monster, you shall be slain! Your evil will be no more!” My primary motivator processed the physical words. My combat motivator determined there was no use in taunting a weaker opponent that would soon be dead. Local stored knowledge, indicated a response was appropriate in this context. Als...
2023-08-31 23:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostI felt the ground shake, just as I was digging up my 91stchannel. I knew everything about my chamber and the environment I had been stuck in for such a long time. That was why the ground shaking was so surprising. That had never happened before and the mountain the Cloudy Moon Sect was built on w...
2023-08-31 14:26:36 +0000 UTC View Post“There you are,” I muttered while staring intently at the map in the newly purchased Regional Map building. I was spending quite a bit in various cities as this was the fifth such building with upgrades that had been purchased. Millions of points to locate the monster.
We had been engag...
2023-08-30 23:01:00 +0000 UTC View PostFirst let me apologize for my unannounced absence. I am sorry. The short explanation is I suffered serious heart issues compounded by other health issues. I will be getting back to posting regularly going forward, but everything is a mess. Still the most important thing is writing more, which is ...
2023-08-28 23:01:02 +0000 UTC View PostI sat in the force chamber. I could almost taste the energy in the air as it pressed down on me. I had just woken up after a nap, from cultivating my ninth channel and meridian pair. I had the process down for the most part.
It had been slow and frustrating the first time, but the next eigh...
2023-08-28 23:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostI continued kneeling in front of the grave. My mother had passed away, from what was most likely a stroke. There were no autopsies done in cultivation land. But based on the description, she collapsed and began seizing. She passed shortly after that. That had happened two years ago while I had be...
2023-07-12 23:07:25 +0000 UTC View Post“Wen Xue, we have people chasing us,” I said as I looked over my shoulder. Down the road. We were twenty days out of Imperial City and passed the boarder of the Imperial Sect.
“How many?” he asked.
“Five people. Four at the fourth stage, and one at the fifth,” I said with ...
2023-07-10 22:55:01 +0000 UTC View Post“Finally, we are here,” I said with a relieved sigh. Wen Xue and I had made it to Imperial City. After formalities and fees at the outer gate. We entered the city and I then had us switch over to a carriage pulled by a cultivator. We had to circle around the outer wall to get to one of the ou...
2023-07-07 23:40:02 +0000 UTC View Post“Let’s let the good doctor rest. He is exhausted. We can question him later. Captain Francis, take us to max altitude,” I ordered once the initial greetings were over.
“Yes, sir,” he replied and worked the controls. The airship began to ascend. It would remain tilted and rotating,...
2023-07-04 21:06:52 +0000 UTC View Post“Spot anything?” Captain Francis asked me as I looked out over the landscape quickly moving underneath us. The light source had come up just as we entered no man’s land. It was timed quite well, with Captain Francis showing his strong understanding of the situation and the airship’s speed...
2023-07-04 21:06:23 +0000 UTC View Post“Only four beds and an exposed front,” I said with a sigh.
“We will have to sleep in shifts,” Captain Francis replied while we looked over our newest airship.
It had only taken two days to get to a level 5 zone, another two days to kill the monsters, and then another two days ...

2023-07-03 22:46:50 +0000 UTC View PostI looked at the map in front of me. We had finished our meal and were gathered in the map room. “By the way, what is your name? I can’t keep calling you Leader,” I said and there was silence at that.
“You may call me Hamid,” the man said. I nodded at that, it was a common middle e...
2023-07-02 02:04:26 +0000 UTC View Post“Come, let’s go some place else, to eat,” the Leader suggested. I nodded at this. The conference room was a bit of a mess.

2023-07-02 02:04:00 +0000 UTC View PostThe wind was rushing too fast too talk as we were carried up to the Floating Island of Death. A flying sword was clearly not designed with safety or seatbelts in mind, but it was surprisingly stable. It didn’t rock or tilt in the slightest.
Old Hengar kept one hand behind him on my should...
2023-06-30 23:10:56 +0000 UTC View PostThe Leader leaned back in his chair, giving me a tired look. He knew he couldn’t win against me and was probably thinking how he could turn the tables. Unfortunately for him, there was nothing he could do. That was why the meeting had progressed so quickly. Starting a fight just wasn’t worthw...

We had stopped for the night and in the morning, I saw grinders hard at work quickly clearing the monsters. They looked tired but had clean clothes that were colored gray. From the store clearly. No one would wear gray...
2023-06-28 00:26:17 +0000 UTC View PostWe reached a level 2 zone, where the road turned to the West instead of still going Northwest. There were several carts on the road, and I noticed there was another road going North to South.

Everyone was shouting and accusing each other. I was sitting and staring at the body of Rurik. He had been part of this city for a long time. I had a good idea of what his stats were as well. To just casually kill him in one slap meant Emperor Michael was the sam...
