The arena was set. The battle lines were drawn. The Puppet lightning Sect’s leadership would be determined, and the losers - the ones who survived - would be exiled. It was a harsh solution to their conflict, but a necessary one give the size and importance of the ...

It did not take long for news of the conflict to spread throughout the entire Puppet Lightning Region. The Puppet Lightning Sect, which had recently risen to power, had fractured, and was on the verge of a civil war.
Many organizations, sects, and clans began...

Cha Ming opened his eyes to a room filled with violet lightning. Now that the puppet lightning soul was restrained, he was now in full control of his body. Despite the large amount of energy that had blasted through his body to serve as a conduit into his spiritual s...

Super sorry about the delay. There are some personal matters that came up, and that I'm in the middle of resolving. Nothing too big, just a huge drain on my time and energy.

Meetings, no matter the setting, were controversial at best, in that they were necessary to iron out details but a horrendous waste of time. Huxian tried to avoid meetings, but in times of war, it was hard to say no; a single missed meeting might result in hundreds o...

The Blighted Earth Sanctuary was a cultivation city, and as such, every dwelling had its own cultivation amenities. Though they weren’t as good as what could be found in clans or sects, they were sufficient for diligent cultivators to reach the rune gathering realm and co...

Cha Ming only had a fraction of his power remaining when he woke, his body broken, and his energy reserves depleted. Many-colored lightning fell around him, striking the earth in such great quantities that it pooled into liquid lightning rivers that trickled down the creviced lands of ...

“Naïve,” said Patriarch Blood Demon. He drew a blood red blade, and the air began to shimmer and condense into frayed red robes made up of loose strips of cloth that gripped and clawed at the air like a living, breathing creature.

The regions in the Heartforge Realm were not arbitrary divisions. Every region had their specialty, and most times, it had to do with geography. The Primordial Gloom Region was constantly overcast and received little sunshine; the Azure Tempest Region boasted the strongest winds of any...

Also, I'm going to be shifting the prologue I posted earlier to the end of the book (with modifications). Apologies for the confusion. In hindsight, makes for a much better cliffhanger epilogue than a prologue. As for the Yama bit, I'll include it at the end (unmodified) as ...

As promised, here are ePub and mobi files for PtM 16 - Heartforge.

Do let me know if you have...

It took a bit longer than I expected to edit this one, but we're in business. One of three chapters this week. How many total this month will depend on how many words I add or subtract in the third draft.
For those of you waiting for Book 16's epub/mobi, I'll be posting it shortly.
