Within the inner circle of the capital, there was a large library. This library was owned by the Emperor himself, and within was held the greatest collection of publicly available knowledge. Well, the knowledge was technically publicly available, but the monthly fee for using the library totaled ...
2023-02-09 12:31:59 +0000 UTC View PostKalen stared incredulously as he watched the man spit on the ground and sit down on the seat in front of him.
He had seen his fair share of eccentric cultivators, but he had never seen someone spit on the floor. Was this man just insane or was he intentionally disrespecting Kalen?

Out in the forest not too far from what used to be the Zearthorn sect premises, a man that looked about middle-aged sat cross-legged near a pond. Well, cross-legged was perhaps a little inaccurate, as he didn’t have two legs to cross.
Kaphor was looking a whole load better than he looked ...
2023-02-09 12:30:03 +0000 UTC View PostMarven walked out into the courtyard only to be faced with a black-robed duo. He didn’t recognize them by looks, but he recognized the spirit of the elderly one. These were likely either elders of the Onyx Scorpion sect or as he assumed, an elder and the sect master.
He assumed it was the...
2023-02-09 12:28:09 +0000 UTC View PostIn the headquarters of the Onyx Scorpion sect, a sweaty elder had just finished his report to the sect master.
The sect master was utterly befuddled.
He got up off his chair and violently threw it at the wall, shattering it into countless splinters.
“Why!? Why!? Why!? WHY!?”...
2023-02-09 12:24:57 +0000 UTC View PostNeave wasn’t surprised to see the wall break open. He felt it was merely a matter of time until they found him. Could he have attracted attention to himself by doing his experiments? Perhaps.
Either way, there were a few things he still wanted to try before having to go back. He contempla...
2023-02-09 12:21:32 +0000 UTC View PostNeave left his incredibly chaotic spirit realm and stretched. While he had quite a bit of time within the spirit realm, he had to leave every once in a while to let his qi recover. This time, Neave stretched a bit and looked around. He was still safe, at least for now.
Neave wasn’t sure t...
2023-02-09 12:19:37 +0000 UTC View PostNeave had done quite a bit of experimenting within his spirit realm. Among the first things he did, he tested his spirit realm to see how powerful the time dilation was.
He used the method of throwing a stone into the air, entering the spirit realm, and leaving after some time to see how mu...
2023-02-09 12:16:26 +0000 UTC View PostNeave held the copy of the sword. Could he create a sword of a different shape instead? Something bigger, sharper, or more powerful.
Just as he was about to repeat his experiment, the abominid he had immobilized bled out, and the spirit trial was over.

“Great way to spoil ...
2023-02-09 12:14:55 +0000 UTC View PostMarven returned to the sect premises. Harel was watching over Gabrias just as he had told her to.
He decided to leave Neave to his own devices. Neave would be fine. Well, for now at least.
Marven felt completely lost as to what to do with Neave. A big part of him felt pride that Neave...
2023-02-09 12:13:45 +0000 UTC View PostMarven couldn’t see what was happening inside the sect without stepping closer. He settled for relying on his spirit senses. Neave was impossible to track with spirit senses alone.
There were countless people around him. They were in a relatively heavily populated area, so focusing on one...
2023-02-09 12:10:44 +0000 UTC View PostMarven yelled at Gabrias as he tried to calm him down, but it was no use. It was almost too late by the time he spotted Neave preparing to lunge at Gabrias. Marven barely stopped Neave from killing Gabrias by grabbing his arm.
“Neave, what the fuck are you doing!”
Neave paused. 2023-02-09 12:09:23 +0000 UTC View Post
Out in the far reaches of the capital of the Yixine empire, there was a small house. It looked built haphazardly and the only thing inside the house was a small child wrapped in layers upon layers of restraints.
It had been roughly an hour since they’d arrived at their new plot of land. T...
2023-02-09 12:06:50 +0000 UTC View PostThrough the wilderness of the Yixine empire, there was a convoy of carriages moving at incredible speed. There was an intense thunderstorm outside. The carriages were floating a bit off the ground, and horse-shaped golem constructs were pulling them. This convoy was carrying primarily passengers....
