I smiled upon seeing Liuxiang, receiving a light smile of my own from him. Stepping aside, I let Liuxiang walk in, closing the doors behind as I walked in.
“Thanks for coming so quickly. I’d actually expected you to be busy and take some...
2022-02-06 19:42:39 +0000 UTC View PostPoison Qi swirled, as Liuxiang sat on the floor, legs folded beneath him. A bowl full of crushed herbs sat in front of him, as he watched a thin near transparent poison drip down his silver needle, before dropping into the boil.
With a hiss, smoke rose from the herbs, the green leavens turn...
2022-02-04 15:57:05 +0000 UTC View PostI felt a strange sense of grief, as a tangle of thoughts and emotions carried over to me from Labby. ‘I’m alright’ the thought read, yet it sounded almost like an apology.
For a few moments, I sat silently, thinking if I should try to find Labby. I could still sense her vaguely, despi...
2022-02-02 16:05:31 +0000 UTC View PostTall grass rushed past Labby’s form as she ran through the field, following the faint scent of the lightning Qi.
Lunar and thunder Qi swirled in her core as she ran through the fields of the outer sects, heading beyond its boundaries and further up the peak. A place even her Great Master ...
2022-01-31 16:00:08 +0000 UTC View PostI've taken a break on Royal Road for today and this Friday. So the next update will be on the next Monday. I'll still be posting chapters this week to catch up on the one chapter I'm behind on and to build a backlog for my oncoming exams from 12th February to 19th February.
No chapter toda...
I took a breath, stilling my hand as I guided it across the sheet of paper and infused it with my Qi. The paper rustled, sticking onto the frame, as it snapped into place with the other papers similarly stuck all around at equal intervals around my room.
Qi flowed through the papers as I fe...
2022-01-24 16:05:34 +0000 UTC View PostThe Old Man walked with fire burning in his eyes and above his palm. Instead of the kind smile I’d come to expect of the Old Man, now burned a strange sense of intensity. It was almost as if he’d suddenly become young again.
“Have you mastered the flame since we last talked, Dis...
2022-01-21 16:00:08 +0000 UTC View PostThe world was a swirl of colours as awareness returned to Lu Jie. Sensations assaulted him all at once, sight smell, sound. It was all so minor, yet he relished each moment, relished experiencing it all for himself.
And with it came greed. He wanted to remain like this.
The Gu boiled ...
2022-01-19 16:00:08 +0000 UTC View PostIMPORTANT NOTE: The previous chapter, that is, chapter 54, has been rewritten. So if you haven't read that chapter yet. Please do so before reading this one.

There are these days, where your mind just can’t help but think over all the little mistakes you’ve made. All the reg...
There were many things on my mind as I made my way back to the sect. The tribulation, Silver Fang and the Verdant Pills. Not to mention the reality about my existence in Lu Jie’s body. The fact that Lu Jie was still alive, or at least, present within my soul. And lastly, The First Law of Cultiv...
2022-01-14 16:00:08 +0000 UTC View PostSo, I've got very sudden arm pain in my entire left arm, and it's bad enough that I'm coasting on painkillers somehow. Due to that, today's chapter will likely be delayed and combined with the one on friday. Apologies for that.
I also think I should really get this looked at as I've had th...
I noted the guy standing in front of all the other thugs. The man wore cultivator robes, as his Qi flared all around him. I extended my senses and found the man to be in the lower fourth realm. I was both impressed by the show, and pitied all of them.
Impressed as even a large sect like Clo...
2022-01-10 16:00:07 +0000 UTC View Post“There are four fundamental forces in nature,” I said, walking around the room with four fingers held out.
Lightning check? Clear. No heavenly tribulations from that.
“The first is the force that keeps us tethered to the ground. Gravity. It is what governs the movement of celest...
2022-01-07 16:01:02 +0000 UTC View PostI let out a breath, cutting my cultivation short. Time seemed to fly by when I cultivated, as I get lost in the sensation of cycling my Qi over and over, growing in strength with each step. I could feel Lu Jie’s emotions passing through and mixing into mine. His relief, his joy, as if the shack...
2022-01-05 16:01:01 +0000 UTC View PostA/N: At 97 patrons right now. Might just work with 3 chapters a week if we cross a 100 before Wednesday! Thanks for the support, you guys are awesome!

The $5 tier Werd Enthusiast will be getting access to 4 advance chapters now, instead of the previous 2 chapters. And the Werd_Appreciator tier will have access to one chapter in advance now.

2022-01-01 14:31:51 +0000 UTC View PostYan Yun felt as if the world was spinning around her.
Thunderous Heavenly Qi crackled within the chambers around Lu Jie, as he sat deep in meditation. Her heart thundered in her chest as her Qi rumbled in turmoil, crackling. Even Leiyu had left her dantian, perching upon her shoulder, too ...

I didn’t remember dying. The last memory I had was of being in my room, preparing for my test. Yet, I found certain memories, drifting forth, as I floated within the darkness. Faded blurring images came to me. Of sc...
Poison Qi swirled, coursing through the veins of the boy as Liuxiang purified the deformed and clogged pathways. The state the boy’s pathways were in had left Liuxiang with little hope at any chances of recovery.
He’d heard of elders in the sector capable of restoring cultivation in cer...
2021-12-29 16:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostA dark, endless expanse surrounded me as I opened my eyes. A dreading cold touched my spine, as the sensation of something wrong shook my spirit. The air felt thin, making my chest tighten. This place was wrong, extremely wrong, and I felt unsettled just standing here.
“Chirp!”

I carried Sheldon in my arms, the little turtle snuggly being carried around. Labby sat comfortably on my shoulder as well, sniffing the air as she flicked her ears, occasionally talking with Sheldon. Nyan had thankfully not cared enough to tag along.
I walked towards the little grove where...
2021-12-06 16:01:06 +0000 UTC View Post“Hmm, maybe I should name you after all?” I said out loud to the little orange cat-loaf that was sitting in my lap, to the frustration of Labby.
I received a lazy meow from the cat, as he stretched his legs. And yes, I checked this time. It’s a he.
“You can’t secretly unders...
2021-12-06 16:00:08 +0000 UTC View PostA/N: For those of you unaware. Posting time is Monday-Wednesday-Friday 11 am EST. I was told that not everyone knew about this so here's an announcement. Hope you like the chapter! There's some really fun stuff to come soon. (Literally just finished this, so it's hot out of the word mill)

I walked through the sect grounds, heading towards the little chamber the Old Man had to himself. The scent of alchemical elixirs mixed in potions drifted from the chamber, a smell that I’d become quite familiar with by now.
“Ah, Lu Jie, come in come in,” the Old Man said, as his long...
2021-11-29 16:01:03 +0000 UTC View PostI have exams from around 13th December to 29th December (yes, through Christmas as well, though the three days around Christmas are off) and these are my semester's finals. So, to not mess up my grades completely, I'll be taking time off from the 7th of December till 21st December.

The rays of the sun touched my skin, as I opened my eyes, breaking past the daze of meditation. I felt my circulating Qi settle down. There was a richer quality to the Qi that I couldn’t quite describe, as if the Qi within me contained more life than before.
I sensed the seed within my co...
