I came upon the city lights in the distance, the lit torches and lamps gave the whole city a serene calm, and peaceful image. A great contrast to what went on in the nearby forest. Once I arrived at the city gate, a man flew to meet me. He seemed to be on a greater cultivation realm as he stopped me mid-way. "Fellow cultivator, this city prohibits entering it using flight, I’ll have to ask you to come down with me." The man said. I nodded and went down to the city gate where the man stood in…

It took less than an hour for one man to show up from behind the boulders. The system operating the boulder was pretty similar to my old cultivation cave back at the Purple Cloud Sect. The boulder moved to reveal a dark dug tunnel and when the man walked out, he didn’t seem to be too cautious, he looked around and blew a whistle using his mouth. This was probably a signal for the other bandits that were stationed outside, and if he didn’t receive the signal back, he would definitely be suspicious…

After an hour or so, a group of men came to the apothecary with a carriable sedan. The men entered the room as if they owned it, and one of them addressed the apothecary with a disregarding tone. "Where is lady Fei?" The apothecary didn’t care to answer and only pointed to the heavily wounded woman that was laying on the bed. The man looked at her and gestured to the two behind him with his head for them to pick her up. One of the men went to pick her up by the leg and the other from the…

I rode through the wind as fast as I could, flying is far faster than traveling using the bumpy slow ride of the carriage. The journey took less than an hour when I saw a prominent palace standing atop a city so wide that I couldn’t think it would exist even in modern-day life. The city was clearly far bigger than New York. And didn’t seem to be in contrast against itself, as the buildings were well organized and built like circular rows surrounding a hill where the imperial palace stood overseeing…

Two of the bandits drew their bows and shot at me, no warnings issued, they had a rather calm expression. Honed by years of constant faces with death. Fight or flight. And in a case where a cultivator is upon them, they knew that death was inevitable, so they would rather risk their lives for a lucky shot in the dark and kill the cultivator rather than try and escape from a man that can bend the laws of the world. The two arrows were to me as slow as a snail. Apparently, my body had already improved…

The Automaton would have me killed in less than the time I could even think about activating Poison Escape. The qualitative difference between this Automaton and the cultivator that tried to cut off my head was like heaven and earth. However, I was still alive, and the automaton was just standing there with its hand raised in attacking action. I knew that whatever was happening in its mind was conflicting with his action. But I’m not going to stand here until it made its choice. After all the two…

I walked towards the palace’s massive gate while avoiding getting trapped by the spider webs that were covering everything. Not even the ground was safe from the white blanket. I had to cut my way through in some areas, where the webbing was just too much. And once I went past a certain point, I found myself at the door of the palace which was speckless. The palace carved into the volcano was untouched directly by the webbing. It was as if the spiders knew better than to defile the palace with their…

Everything stopped, or everything began moving rather extremely slowly. This was my mind’s eye going on full throttle. This is what Elder Yun said about my thinking abilities being increased several folds in crisis. It used to happen only rarely in our games of Go, but now, it happened in reality, when the sword of this godless cultivator who I had just saved was about to chop my head off. My mind went into overdrive and in the span of a frozen moment in time, I saw everything. I saw his focused eyes,…

There was no way for me to cross this without being eaten alive, so I was about to walk away when I heard a wet crunching sound under my foot. I lifted my foot from the wet and mozzarella-like remains of the spider that was stuck to the sole of my foot. "Shit," I cursed. And instantly afterward all the room’s skittering stopped, then they all began hissing. If spiders couldn’t hiss, well these ones weren’t normal spiders, these are cultivator spiders. Nasty stuff. A swath of spiders came…

I placed my feet on the sword and it easily carried my weight without it dipping back into the ground. At first, I stayed standing on top of the sword-like an idiot for a few moments. Mainly because I had no idea how this thing would even move. Yet, the moment I thought about the tree a few hundred meters in front of me, the sword shot forward, threatening to fly from under my feet and loge itself into the tree, yet there was something in play that kept my legs glued in place, and the sword made sure…
