The first thing Cha Ming felt was a light, supportive breeze that caressed him as the Ninesky Seals faded, returning him to surprisingly painless awareness.
His eyes flicked open, and all around him was a familiar whiteness. But it was not the familiar...

Between Elder Azure Crimson Tempest and the sect master of the Azure Tempest Sect was a hall, and in that hall was a test. A gentle wind blew through it, sending pain lancing through Cha Ming’s body with every step he took.
The wind is hitting me internal...

The Azure Tempest Sect was a large and powerful sect that kept mostly to themselves. In his dealings on the Chasewind Plane, they’d seldom come up, and even then, only in passing. Despite their general policy of non-interference, it was po...

Three months after the Grand Opening in Soaring City, Cha Ming expanded into three other cities. Three months after that, he expanded a second time, and a few com...
2022-08-08 08:27:36 +0000 UTC View PostA while back I wrote a novella and published it for you all. I've just taken it down to publish on Kindle and Kindle Unlimited. I'd really appreciated it if you all took the time to leave a review for it, since it's standalone and won't have the same momentum as the next installment of Painting t...

2022-08-05 00:45:09 +0000 UTC View PostA month has passed, and I'm back in action. Thanks everyone for your patience. Three chapters this week, the plan is to finish posting Book 16 by the end of the month.

Just so you know, there' s about a month's worth of content left in Book 16, after which we'll be heading straight into 17, assuming my writing plans pan out.
Now time to t...

Cha Ming did not have the luxury of returning to the Heartforge Realm very often. Slaying fiends was very important, but since there were other Invited on the Chasewind Plane, including Cao Wenluan, improving his personal strength was as priority.
This was especially the...

The instigator in the wine house was punished, and so were the other cultivators that had attacked Cha Ming without clarifying things. On the surface, their charge was breaking the peace between cultivators and mortals and offending a cultivator of the senior generat...

Also, I wanted to let everyone know that I'll be taking a one month "holiday", and will therefore be pausing contributions.
I didn't think I would need to do this, but apparently moving countries is incredibly stressful. Go figure. We're moving in two stages. This...

Now that his soul was stable and no longer at risk of collapsing when exposed to a stiff spiritual breeze, Cha Ming was finally able to relax. He did not immediately resume training but spent most of his time painting.
Much of his paintings were mundane. He painted memor...

The excursion to the Tribulant Yin Demiplane was a great success in the end, despite the many misfortunes that had befallen them. Or was it because of the misfortunes they’d encountered? Otherwise, would they have found that cave and the mothe...

Danger and reward came hand in hand in the Tribulant Yin Demiplane. The moderate danger zones brought in a steady stream of wealth to their group, but in exchange, they encountered far too many close calls and even disastrous material lo...

Deep in the Tribulant Yin Demiplane flew a small void ship. Very few ships could match it as it sliced through the air and slipped past obstacles as though they weren’t there. Whenever it encountered larger obstacles, such as a mountain or a yin river,...

In a random location in one of the safe areas of the Tribulant Yin Demiplane, a soft gray light flashed briefly, leaving behind a group of five cultivators. These were naturally Cha Ming and his companions. They were armed and ready for the worst, but luckily...

Some say time is the eternal grind wheel, the inevitable force that wears away at a cliffside until all that’s left is a sandy beach. With enough time, it’s possible to crumble mountains, drain oceans, and even fray the edges of reality.
It therefore stood to reason that with...

2022-06-10 02:24:58 +0000 UTC View PostSo I changed my mind. Because of how the chapters work out, I'm going to release 4 chapters this week and next week. I'll release the third chapter today.

From the moment Cha Ming accepted Godking Heavenbind’s instruction, the bitterness of his training increased several-fold. This was in part due to the bitter medicine he was forced to take before every trial, but mostly because said medicine increased his sensitivi...

In other news, yesterday I did something I shouldn't have - I went on Amazon and sifted through reviews. I am both happy and regretful about the experience. On the one hand, Painting the Mists is highly rated, but on the other, it seems that negative reviews have a te...

Their adventure to the Tribulant Yin Demiplane had ended in failure. They needed to get stronger before their next attempt. Both Cha Ming and Huxian began a new routine as they both intensified their training.
Cha Ming was especially fastidious. He rarely took ...

The Heartforge Realm, it turns out, was an incomparably huge plane, and in their three months living there, they’d barely scratched the surface in discovering to what extent. The smallest estimates ranged from hundreds of times as large as the Inkwell Plane, and there wer...
