Yao Shen found himself surprised by Vondar’s unwillingness to break his flow as he explained one invention after the next, only interjecting in between explanations, only to tell him to continue to the next one. It stood in stark juxtaposition to Yao Shen’s own barrage of queries as Vondar the Scholar’s remnant soul had explained to him the technique required to engrave the greater rune schematic onto the Lumenite Armor. Memorizing the grooves he had to carve out for each of the five schematics…-

It took Yao Shen over an hour of deliberation to decide which five modern weapons he would offer Vondar in return for one self-destruct greater rune and four auxiliary runes that would amplify the Lumenite Armor’s functions. There was a reason why Yao Shen had requested for only five Greater Runes was because Vondar had clearly explained that adding any more would risk destabilizing the Lumenite that would serve as a base for the armor. Besides the self-destruct rune, the other Greater Runes that Yao…

Yao Shen had decided to personally oversee the construction of All-Haven, which was now on track to be completed on an expedited schedule. While he had not expected a hundred or so cultivators to volunteer after his impassioned speech, their addition was a welcome one. On the surface, it seemed like Yao Shen had returned to his normal duties. A new residence had been constructed for him just outside All-Haven’s immediate periphery upon his request, further reinforcing the fact that he would be the…

Half a day had passed since Yao Shen had made his return known at All-Haven. While the hubbub that followed his shocking announcement should have calmed down by now, given the fact that the ones in attendance were Elders that had lived for more than a century. Instead, it had only intensified and in truth, it was his own directions that were to blame for the commotion. Sprawled across the length and breadth of All-Haven were thousands of disciples and hundreds of guardians that had responded to Yao…

Yao Shen’s return to All-Haven’s construction site was met with a coalition of Elders from the three Divisions, including the three Patriarchs of the respective divisions. It did not take Yao Shen long to understand the rationale behind moving the bulk of their fighting forces onto an uninhabited, neutral ground. In the event that Yao Shen was defeated in combat, there would be no one capable of stopping the Demon’s onslaught if he chose to charge into the Azlak Plains. By deliberately gathering…

Yao Shen had only managed to recuperate about two tenths of his Qi reserves when his Divine Sense picked up on the presence of a cultivator entering its range. His expression immediately warped as he snapped back onto his feet in a blur of motion. The Bell Artifact was concealed in his Soul Lake without any hesitation and Yao Shen was primed to deploy his Human Dao Domain at a moment’s notice. He wasn’t surprised to find his Divine Sense strands shattering upon making contact with the intruder, but…

Yao Shen had not been idling away his time as the frenzied Demon chipped away at his Human Qi Construct. In truth, from the moment Gavril had unleashed his Inherited Domain— The Codex, Yao Shen had already noticed a response from the Soul Emperor level Bell Artifact that had been slumbering in his Soul Lake. Yao Shen had always known that the Bell Artifact had been concealing a second ability from him. A Soul Emperor’s Divine Sense brand was fundamentally different from a Nascent Soul’s Brand, the…

Yao Shen had sensed that there was something indelibly wrong with Gavril’s soul from the moment he’d laid eyes on the Demonic Cultivator. But probing another cultivator’s soul without their knowledge was an almost impossible task and at the same level, the invader’s attempts were laughably easy to thwart. The distinct sense of wrongness that Yao Shen had felt earlier congealed into a definite horror as Yao Shen understood the true nature of the enemy he was facing. “This form….,” It was…

In all honesty, even Yao Shen had not expected, or for that matter, could not have predicted, the response he received from the Blood Constructs. He had not wanted to even imagine the unspeakable lengths the demon would have gone to make the proud, tenacious souls of cultivators that had been willing to brave the very wrath of the heavens in the pursuit of ascension, yield to the one responsible for their deaths. It was not hard to deduce that the taboo Soul Qi had a role in the process, a means or…

Regardless of the odds being grossly stacked against him, Yao Shen never harbored any intention to lose. Even as he weaved through a hail of seemingly unending attacks, Yao Shen had never stopped analyzing the features of the enemy’s domain. There were a few general, overarching rules that he had managed to establish, insights that were gained in the midst of combat. Firstly, if his understanding was correct, Gavril’s Inherited Domain— The Codex primarily required the Major Daos of Blood and Soul…
