General Murong congratulates them heartily when they return. Never once does he bother asking what happened to Captain Ko and the other raiders killed by Commander Qing. Such blatant favoritism should have bothered Lei Cheng, but his mind is elsewhere. No matter how much he tries to avoid it, he keeps thinking back ...

“Too late?” The commander of Fort Blackwind asks, looking at him with confusion. “Are you trying to intimidate me? Threaten me? Stop speaking in riddles!”
It is only natural that he wants an explanation. The man would have to be utterly incompetent to take him at his word.
And yet, Liu Jin can on...

This topic generated quite a bit of discussion. Who has what? What does it mean? How does it work? And so on. Now that all tiers have read the part where Liu Jin meets his dragon great-great-great-great grandpa, I figure I can lay things out a little more clearly.
First, let’s talk about wha...

It's really good.

AN: The character formerly known as Lei Jun will be called Lei Cheng from here on. His name was too similar to Liu Jin's.

Captain Ko’s raiders react to his untimely demise exactly as Liu Jin imagined they would.
Poorly.

I preferred the old one.
Moments like this, I can't help but think of Google. Is it a too-big corporation that knows entirely too much about all of us? Yes.
But they h...

An army of the dead and the grotesque stands against him.
It is a revolting parade of rotting flesh and twisted bones. The howling of the dead could bring terror to even the stoutest of hearts, and the pungent smell would take care of the rest.
Feng Zhi just laughs.

“This is ridiculous!” cries Lei Jun as he frantically stabs his caged foe with a spear.

Like I mentioned in a post last week, the chapter for Core Disciples will go up on Wednesday. I am better now, but I was not well last week, hence the delay. Apologies.

2023-10-02 12:01:01 +0000 UTC View PostSome of you are probably scratching your heads and wondering who Yun Peng is. I can’t blame you. Yun Peng is Yun Han’s dad, a character from the Eastern Port City saga and the first Renegade Realm cultivator introduced in the story. All things considered, he’s a fairly minor character.
And yet. I’ll still see pe...
2023-09-29 12:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostMaybe it's because of the pain killers. Maybe it's because of the mandatory bedrest. Maybe it's a combination of the two. Regardless, my body's completely rebelling on me getting anything done. It's very likely the usual Monday chapter will go up on Wednesday instead.
A small lore post will go up this Friday as bit of a...
2023-09-28 16:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostSo, I was walking down the street and fell. One hour later, my ankle had swelled like it was a damn tomato. The doctors tell me my bones are fine, but I need to wear a big ass boot-like thing around my leg until I'm all healed because the ligaments aren't fine.
Gravity is not my friend.
So yeah, that wasn't fun. B...

Liu Jin rides at Murong Bang’s side.
He has been given a pale mare to ride. The animal is easily twice the size of a regular horse. According to the old man in charge of the stables, she is a Storm Steed, a breed native to the Storm Dragon Empire. Supposedly, Storm Steeds have the curious distinction of bein...

“I wish you could make it easier to not worry about you,” Lu Mei says as she applies ointment to his wounds.
“I would apologize, but something tells me I will always end in situations like this.”

It is harder to cultivate when one is in motion.
While high-level cultivators passively take in Qi regardless of what they are doing (much like how one does not need to think about breathing), the process is far from optimal. When compounded with the ever-changing quality of ambient Qi and the many distraction...

I hope you all enjoy the month's chapters!

The temple in front of them is old, dusty, and full of cracks. It has been left unattended for so long that one can barely make out the stone under all the vines that have grown over it.
Huang Shing cannot see why anyone would want to visit a place like this.

In Liu Jin’s experience, control is usually a good thing. Control over one’s power allows precision. Control over one’s body allows discipline. Control over one’s emotions allows clear thinking. There has never been a time in his life when having too much control was somehow a bad thing.
By contrast, t...

As soon as Liu Jin enters Rainstorm City, it becomes obvious Leader Liu and the men of the Brotherhood have been hard at work. The area devastated by Liu Jin’s battle with Han has already been cleared. All the material from the ruined houses and damaged city walls has been repurposed to create big, sturdy shelters...

“That was somehow more exhausting than fighting Han,” Liu Jin says once the day is over.
It is only him and Lei Kong in the room now. Big Sister has left to “inspect” Thunder Blade Fortress. No doubt, she is rooting out some injustice. Maybe several.

Getting rid of the bodies proves easy.
Big Sister Bai encases them in ice with a mere wave of her hand. By making a fist, she shatters them into tiny crystals that are carried away by the wind and turned into nothing more than moisture. Not even a speck of blood is left on the floor. It is as if those who trie...

“You cannot be serious!”
Leader Liu yells at him at the top of his lungs. His face is red, his muscles taut with tension, and the gnashing of his teeth is almost audible. However, all that pales compared to his Qi. It flares so strongly it would have made the houses around them tremble had they not already...
