Chapter 142 - Sunfire Pagoda

The Sunfire Pagoda was the training location of choice for the majority of the Sect. Besides special resources and pills, it was definitely the fastest way to improve. The Sunfire Pagoda had ninety-nine floors, which were divided into eleven different types of training. For each of the eleven types of training there wer...

Chapter 141 - Knowledge

Sage studied hard. He was of course interrupted a few times to create more devices, but otherwise he kept to a strict schedule. Every morning he would wake at dawn and start training, practicing his techniques. A few hours later, when the sun was at its highest, he would have breakfast and then work on his own Cultivati...

Chapter 140 - Movie Troupe

Sage had gained enough spirit stones this time he was out to start his training at the Sunfire Pagoda again, but he held back. There was no telling what might happen with his business, so he held onto his money reserves, nearly ten thousand spirit stones after creating the dozens more devices, and focused on his other t...

Chapter 139 - Company

The table was silent again, but Sage could see the questioning looks. He quickly continued to keep from losing momentum.

“I know there’s bound to be plenty of questions. Don’t worry, I’m not trying to make you all into silent investors and let you worry about whether or not you’ll ever get your money bac...

Chapter 138 - Identity

Having killed someone far more important than he imagined, it was no wonder there was so many marked objects amongst his possessions. If he could go back he would have hid his face and made sure to secure an escape route instead of letting himself get cornered like that. He’d gotten used to dealing with people less po...

Chapter 137 - Rewards

The Peak Master didn’t answer him for a while. Two of the scroll manuals as well as a small token lifted into the air. Floating away under the Peak Master’s power as she took them into another room and set them inside a Formation that was already in the room. After a bright flash of light, she walked over and picked...

Chapter 136 - Expelled

The Twin Soul wasn’t an enemy, this time it was more of a suicide. All he could do was keep his attention focused and away from the Twin Soul. The Twin Soul was inside the cauldron and he had already ignited the flames, using a fire stone. Fire Stones could create more powerful flames than any normal burning wood. Mos...

Chapter 135 - Marked?

Not wanting to waste another second, Sage linked another Warp Worm and finished his search of the Leader’s body before moving away with haste. He went to the surface and tossed the signet ring into a nearby river before entering the Warp Worm and burrowing a few miles away. He hopped out of the worm and shook his head...

Chapter 134 - Yellow Gemstone

It wasn’t as if arrays that did multiple effects weren’t unheard of, but usually they were very strict in their functions. The more that an array could do the more complicated it became. At the same time, they always did the exact same things. If an array was especially powerful or useful it would become popular. Wi...

Chapter 133 - Too Late

After a mistake that cost him his weapon, the Beast Tamer finished off the Steel Silk Centipede just in time to see the smile on Sage’s face. The group had no idea who this man was, but he’d obviously already taken the treasure they were here to look for. They were all waiting to watch the smile get wiped off his fa...

Chapter 132 - Mountain Treasure

Sage chuckled, free to make as much noise as he wished while within the Mantid’s internal dimension. Moving away from the camp, he found a secluded place and spent a few minutes merging with a Warp Worm. Using the worm he moved to catch up with the two who slipped out of camp and with a few uses of Hindsight he caught...

Chapter 131 - Hindsight

Sage activated the first level of the Timeless Eyes once again, looking into the past with ‘Hindsight’. Rewinding time as he saw the cage come back into the room, some of the men returning from a back room to make the purchase, his own presence walking past for just a moment, back even further to when they all first walked u...

Chapter 130 - Special Showroom

At that point the man that looked like a Tamer cut off his voice. Sage saw the back of another man’s head move sharply and he assumed it was the leader of their little group making sure Sage couldn’t eavesdrop. Sage gave a passing look to the creature they were walking about. It looked like a rabbit the size of a large dog o...

Chapter 129 - Strange Creatures

The shopkeeper was, as expected, an old man with a long wispy white beard. His back was stooped and he had a glass eye. The old man was even smoking from a long curved pipe, taking a few puffs and blowing out the smoke before answering, “Quite a demand. Why don’t you just go take a look around for yourself. Everything is alr...

Chapter 128 - Window Shopper

It wasn’t like there wasn’t a huge selection of goods in Holy Flame City. On the contrary it was probably one of the best supplied cities within quite a huge area. Due to the fame of the Sect for its professions, the merchants constantly supplied it with many unusual and strange materials. Not only that, the majority of most...

Chapter 127 - Loose Ends

Sage took a few days to catch up with Wan Ling, learning of her other plans and also plotting out how he would help contribute. After that he went to the Central Plaza and started purchasing storage chests as well as crafting materials of his own. He’d studied enough storage chests and bags to create his own and he had some pr...

Chapter 126 - Remodeled

Looking up, Sage caught sight of the woman from before, Wan Ling. She was standing in front of a table covered in documents. Remembering the business deal and how he had let her stay in his house to keep working, Sage relaxed. Walking forward he smiled and bowed his head to the woman, “Ahh, you’re still here. How wo...

Chapter 125 - Leaving the Hidden Domain

Sage was pretty sure this wasn’t just a normal Hidden Domain. It was far more likely that was just a cover up for this being a completely different planet. He hadn’t heard anything in the Cultivator world about traveling among the stars, space or the skies. Perhaps this was a secret kept from lower ranking people while indep...

Chapter 124 - An Introduction

The figure was ghostly. Translucent and wispy, like a hologram. Sage blinked and looked upwards where a set of lights were on. It might actually be a real hologram. The figure was about seven feet tall and very thin. Humanoid in shape with two arms and two legs, standing upright. Despite being thin, the torso s...

Chapter 123 - Doors

Getting a look past the doors, even Rocky seemed surprised. Or at least, that’s what Sage imagined. Rocky was completely covered in a bulky robe and barely ever spoke so there was no telling what he was thinking. Past the doors was what Sage would call a combination of a Hanger Bay and a Warehouse. Hanging from the ce...

Chapter 122 - Released

Sage had successfully deciphered the seal. That glowing seal had been the full appearance of the seal, and an art he learned from the Timeless Master’s dwelling. Instead of sending his consciousness into a seal he could get it to come out and show off for him, perfect for analysis. Once he understood enough of the sea...

Chapter 121 - Seals

Sage was no doubt curious what Rocky’s jobs had been, nearly every time he would leave Sage somewhere and disappear under the ground. Sage wanted to follow him, but when Rocky was underground it was very hard to track him and Rocky seemed to find his Warp Worm very easily. Sage didn’t want to make trouble or jeopard...

Chapter 120 - Purple Forest Cleanup

Sage caught sight of a hooded head poking up out of the ground and then disappearing once again. Rocky must have been taking a peek on his activities. Sage continued the operation, using the Charming Lance Beetle to guide the army of bugs around. Just as he had thought, it became nearly impossible to control so many ins...

Chapter 119 - Reinforcements

With the Lance Beetle stomping around and gathering attention, the number of Crystal Spiders that still cared about breaching the gap in front of Sage were few. Sage threw a Green Revitalizing Pill into his mouth to speed his Qi recovery while also holding a Spirit Stone in each hand to restore his energy. Most of the e...

Chapter 118 - Spider Melee

It was a risky move to take the Spiders head on, but Sage wanted to push himself. The Spiders were only a stage or two weaker than him, which meant one on one, especially when he had the initiative, the Spiders were easy to beat. With the Spiders no longer on the run and also having him outnumbered, Sage actually felt s...

Chapter 117 - The Banyan

Summon the Sacred Banyan. Along with Connecting Heaven and Earth and Greenbody Training, it was one of the three core techniques of the set he’d learned. The value of a good Qi Cultivation Art and a Body Tempering Art were obvious. Summon the Sacred Banyan on the other hand seemed somewhat useless on its own. The only...

Chapter 116 - Extermination

With a bit of experience under his belt battling the Crystal Spiders, Sage was ready to put himself into some danger. Without experiencing some danger, he couldn’t really put his techniques to the test. He had prepared himself as much as possible, studying their weak points, learning their battle patterns, and prepari...

Chapter 115 - Spider Hunt

Sage hadn’t been in a fight between near equals in quite some time. He’d wiped out some weak thugs and thieves and also had an encounter with a dangerously powerful Demonic Plant. The battles were either too easy or a struggle to escape. His last real fight was probably with the Twin Ringed Soul Serpent. Since his n...

Chapter 114 - To catch a Spider

Array Formations were truly versatile and all encompassing. He had first started out as an Alchemist and it was there he first learned some array symbols. In the Lang Clan they were treated as foot soldiers, so skilled professions were an afterthought, they were only taught some of the basics for supporting duties like ...

Chapter 113 - Crystal Spider Forest

Sage had no idea of the prowess of the Crystal Spiders, but he was ready to give it a try. Since Rocky told him to do it, surely it would be within his capabilities. Calling forth the Chameleon Mantis, he sent it into the forest to hunt a spider. At the same time asking Rocky a question, “Is this a complete eradicatio...
