The ‘Diffusion’ Greater Rune was the first rune Yao Shen inscribed onto his Lumenite Armor. Invoking the Language of the World was a far easier task than he had anticipated, although that was only because Vondar had shared the true names of the runes along with the exact technique involved in their invocation. Inscribing a Greater Rune was a matter that required utmost precision. First, Yao Shen carved the exact letter whose schematics Vondar had transferred to him via divine sense onto the Lumenite…-

It took Yao Shen a few more hours to prospect two more chunks of Lumenite Ore that were suited for his purpose. The process of mining them was as painstaking as ever, requiring him to be meticulously precise without the slightest room for error. Thankfully, with the Divine Sense and reflexes of a Soul Emperor, Yao Shen could live up to that punishing standard. The two newly mined chunks of Lumenite Ore were roughly half the size of their predecessor and Yao Shen did not hesitate as he placed one on…

The first human to successfully mine Lumenite Ore. Yao Shen realized he might very well have claimed that accomplishment for himself. His hands were trembling as he inspected the chunk of Lumenite Ore in his hands. The sheer amount of Qi contained within the small aquamarine crystal ore was a marvel to witness through touch and were it not for the ‘seal and unchange’ properties imposed upon it by Runebound Oresplitter’s hammer, the volatile ore would have long since exploded in his hands. “Do…

Yao Shen found himself deep underground, back in the lumenite mine. In the vast cavernous structure, he was alone in the heart of the Earth Division’s territory. Not even Wenjun Long had been permitted to accompany him down here this time, for Yao Shen had stipulated that he must be allowed to forge the Lumenite Ore in complete privacy—- only then would he share the completed product with the other three divisions. He took in the aquamarine crystal ore with a sense of awe, marveling at the sheer…

Yao Shen had known the day would be arriving soon, but even then, it was hard to contain the powerful, raw emotion that was threatening to sneak past the guard he almost always maintained. A clear head was important for a leader, the ability to distinguish between his own biases and critical thinking. He was not perfect and he was far from selfless, having chosen the former over the latter many a times— but it was still important to be able to make that distinction. He was overcome by a sense of pride…

“Thank you, Fellow Daoist Wujing. I underestimated the fear the Demonic Path was capable of inflicting, let alone a Soul Emperor Demon,” Yao Shen said as they neared the end of Azlak Plains' territory, long having departed from All-Haven. “No, no, Patriarch Yao. It is I who should be thanking you. This opportunity only came to be because of you unexpectedly defeating Gavril, so I feel guilty taking away the fame and prestige away from you.” “Did you not publicly attribute the reason behind…

Yao Shen had left the forge and was walking towards the temporary residence that had been constructed for him in All Haven when his expression warped in surprise. The next moment, he was gone with a flicker of motion, his movement so swift that it left behind a powerful gust of wind that buffeted the disciples that had been standing nearby him. A moment later, he found himself in the skies above All-Haven, staring in the direction of the Soul Emperor level Qi-Signature that he had detected, nay, that had…

Yao Shen would never have expected or could have predicted his third true disciple would end up being Xiaoli. Shadow was no less than his adopted daughter and Duyi embodied many of the principles of the righteous path that most Elders proselytized but rarely followed through in reality. Xiaoli, though, shared none of Shadow or Duyi’s values. At least, that was the impression he had left on Yao Shen, on their first encounter. He still remembered the day a young foundation establishment disciple burst…

Yao Shen shook his head and halted the momentum contained behind his strike before it struck the armor plate. Sighing, he stepped back from the forge and channeled a surge of Water Qi, quenching the partially forged armor. It was quite enlightening and equally humbling to see the drop in his own forging skill without Vondar’s guiding presence. A few days prior, the Dwarf Spirit had informed him that he would be going into secluded cultivation to ponder upon the five inventions that he had imparted…

When Yanyue finally left the forge, the corners of her eyes were stained a pinkish-red, two streams of dried tears visible upon her visage. She had known that her Senior Sister, Shadow, was different from others, but she had never imagined her to have such a tragic, heart-wrenching past. Even though she had only known Shadow for a relatively short time, so much made sense when she recontextualized what she knew of Shadow with her past. The other disciples glorified and even celebrated Shadow’s ruthless…
