Every one of the responses he thought about attempting were met with a vicious retaliation. This Broken Bronze Lionfish was downright suicidal. He could feel the Law power radiating off it and he felt it was at the peak of the sixth tier. Worse yet, the law it was wielding gave him the feeling of mutual destruction, which was...
2022-03-04 21:01:01 +0000 UTC View PostIt turns out the green Armorana had a poisonous bite, which Sage found out about the hard way. He used the same tactics upon it as the normal Armorana, hemming in its whole posse of escorts and then picking them off one by one. It took only a few strikes for him to disable them enough for him to capture and send into the Inne...
2022-03-03 21:01:01 +0000 UTC View PostThe importance of this anomaly was not lost upon Sage and he redoubled his efforts to search out the source. Since this area was not on the sea bed or the surface, he was trying to find something in a completely open and empty area of the sea. After scouring the place with his Spiritual Sense he couldn’t feel anything out o...
2022-03-02 21:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostAt this time, Sage’s power was many times greater than in the past, and the fact that an Armorana’s scales could resist his strike was very impressive. It had to be remembered that Sage had the innately more powerful body of a Demonic Insect. On top of that he was also practicing Body Cultivation and making use of the Jad...
2022-03-01 21:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostAs soon as he entered Armorana Lagoon, Sage caught sight of his first Armorana. In the distance a group of humanoids was fighting against a ten foot long fish that was covered in bright silvery scales. As Sage closed the distance he got a better look at the large hexagonal scales overlapping upon the fish’s flanks as well a...
2022-02-25 21:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostUsing the familiar method of intending to do something in order to see what would happen in the future, Sage probed the sea bed at various places and found surprising results. Not only was that crab under the sand not rare, it was downright common. There was a whole world of creatures living under just a shallow layer of sand...
2022-02-25 08:25:17 +0000 UTC View PostIt turns out the city got its name because it was actually somewhat close to the shoreline of a major land mass. Sage had no idea where it was in relation to the Tianxia Empire, but upon seeing so many different people here, he realized it could be anywhere. In fact, I’m not even sure I’m on the same planet anymore. I...
2022-02-23 21:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostThere was no fighting allowed, and there was a rank seven in charge to enforce this rule. The guide also detailed the uniform and badge of the City Guards which answered directly to the City Lord. Surprisingly, this place even had a court of law. Not the Laws, but an actual judicial system. After having grown so used to the r...
2022-02-22 21:01:00 +0000 UTC View PostNormal as it all seemed, even a cursory glance was enough for Sage to know he was in a very different place than he was used to. While everything was used in a familiar way, the things that were being used were all far from what he was used to. The circular tables were not made of wood, instead they were giant Scallop shells,...
2022-02-18 21:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostRunning and jumping down the staircase brought them to the bottom in just a few moments, and they continued on down another long hallway. This one was not made of wood like the one in the Merciful Mollusk. Down here it had already changed to packed earth with reinforcing stone archways placed every few yards. After a few minu...
2022-02-17 21:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostWith all his preparations complete, Sage left Lionheart Town and flew over to the hidden Transportation Array that would take him to the Merciful Mollusk. Just as before, they didn’t charge anyone to get teleported to them, but they charged an immense fee to get sent anywhere else. The Merciful Mollusk itself, was a mysteri...
2022-02-16 21:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostSage had barely any time to get used to the body he’d named the ‘Gold Thunder Mantis’ and now he was already altering it. Unlike most of the other creatures that Sage had merged with, there was no specific feature that he was trying to get from the Bone Mantis. The Bone Mantis wasn’t famous for any special natural abi...
2022-02-15 21:01:00 +0000 UTC View PostMidway up a mountain at the back of the Lang Clan, a few dozen people in flowing and perfectly tailored hanfu were standing in front of an immense stone statue. The statue was nearly twenty feet tall and depicted a huge bird of prey with a particularly sharp beak and claws. Three shades of gray marble were used to create cont...
2022-02-11 21:01:01 +0000 UTC View PostThe Law of Thermodynamics, as Sage had named it, related to the transfer of heat. He deciphered it in Icefire Valley after watching the tragic couple, Hong Ri and Hei Yue. The Fire and Ice Clans were at odds with each other so of course their most important geniuses would fall in love and play out a tragedy. Living their stor...
2022-02-10 21:01:00 +0000 UTC View PostSage rubbed his jaw, trying to get used to his new tongue. While waiting for the last auction he’d forged a new Heart’s Tongue for both himself and his Soul Clone. They’d spent the rest of the time digesting their gains from the Cult of the Woodlord. The list of professions that he had mastered to the fifth star had inc...
2022-02-09 21:01:01 +0000 UTC View PostSage was only intending to give the man some serious injuries and carry a message to the others that had chased after him in the past. Compared to the trouble he’d got from others, the fact that they hadn’t bothered to chase after him when he left the Kingdom was actually comparatively light. It had been only a few decade...
2022-02-08 21:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostHe felt that the techniques of the Arborist were much more in line with the usage of his Insect Immortal Index. With the help of the Inner World researchers he aimed to combine the knowledge of Blacksmiths and Arborists with his Insect skills. He had already been able to create simple Magic Tools using implanted ancestral mem...
2022-02-04 21:01:00 +0000 UTC View PostThe Supreme started to explain before Sage could make any arguments, “It is true that the Cult of the Woodlord could benefit from the services of a Gardener, but Arborist knowledge is too precious. It is like teaching you to farm in exchange for a few fish. Only a fool would make such a trade. If you wish to deal you’ll n...
2022-02-03 21:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostHigh Lord Shi Wen left the meeting feeling strange. He had first taken the man for a gloating rival, wanting to show off that the Holy Flame Sect had gained another Nascent Soul. Then the man had the bold claim of being a Gardener and wanting the secrets of their sacred arts. He had thought then it was not just posturing, but...
2022-02-02 21:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostThe High Elder was so surprised by his request that he directly insulted him. Sage didn’t take it to heart. Instead he waved his hand and two women appeared beside him. One of them was a tall woman, large bodied with an even larger chest. Her long black hair was streaked with brown. Beside her was a young girl with bright r...
2022-02-01 21:01:01 +0000 UTC View PostAfter showing off his strength a few times to the many guards and attendants of the City Lord’s manor, Sage finally got a meeting with the man. He gave him a bow, though it wasn’t that low after noticing that the City Lord was not a Nascent Soul. Since the man wasn’t a Nascent Soul, then he’d attained his position thr...
2022-01-28 21:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostThe silence of the masked person was almost deafening to Sage, but at the same time he took it as a sign that there was room for negotiation. If this person was attached to a large power then his offer would be silly and they would immediately reject him. There was a chance they were remaining silent in order to keep their af...
2022-01-27 21:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostAn hour later, the old man who worked for the auction house returned and he brought along another person with him. This person had a dark cloak covering their body from head to toe revealing only a flat white featureless mask. It took only a moment for him to realize that the cloak and mask were specialized magic tools used t...
2022-01-26 21:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostJust as he made this declaration, the auctioneer touched a part of the cage that sent a surge of Qi in and the previously motionless bone shot upwards. The small fracture lines along the bone unfurled into six limbs along with bends for a neck and waist. The bone took on the rough shape of a mantis, which shot forward and str...
2022-01-25 21:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostBefore leaving the Shihu Kingdom this time, Sage had one more stop on his list. Just as he had done long ago, he headed towards the border with the neighboring Province. The Green Plateau Province was the territory of the Cult of the Woodlord, the Holy Flame Sect’s rival. The two of them had never seen eye to eye, and to th...
2022-01-21 21:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostMany years ago, Sage had trained in the Sunfire Pagoda to push him out of mediocrity and into the third rank. Compared to where he was now, it felt like many lifetimes ago. He had to struggle so hard to accumulate enough points in the Sect to pay for his training time and even then he’d only managed to move from the level o...
2022-01-20 21:01:00 +0000 UTC View PostBy the time his body in the outside world finished his metamorphosis, Sage had already perfected the Liquid Metal body with the help of the researchers. He took some time to stretch out and exercise the thick eight limbed mantis body that now perfectly matched his body on the Inner World. Then, he brought out the materials re...
2022-01-19 21:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostSage had a tough time deciding on which body transformation route he wished to follow, but then remembered something he had recently gained. The library he’d stolen from the ruins of the Violent Sun Sect. Their strange sect and its high air pressure were actually because of the Cultivation Technique they practiced. In fact ...
2022-01-18 21:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostIn the Universe Ring, Sage had set up a workroom for each of his professions and was training his body and senses to equal the level of skill that he’d already mastered on the Inner World. Before going into seclusion this time he’d already copied down the profession libraries available to four star professionals and on th...
2022-01-14 21:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostSage didn’t stop there. He went back into metamorphosis a few more times experimenting with the body features of the Golden Cicada and how they could be incorporated with the mantis. Then he moved on with his experiments and merged with the egg from Elder Manji. The Cloud Swallowing Thunder Eel was a magnificent creature. I...
