"Illusory bonds? 'From the Earth I came, to the Earth I return. If I don't step into the Bitter Sea, who will?' The Mantra of Sacrifice is, to me, the most mesmerizing mantra of Lianism. If I can't fight tooth and nail for the safety of those I care for, why bother preaching scriptures? What's so wrong with contradictions? Without, would I still be a person? Is perfection not...somewhat overrated?" Qingxin seriously asked. A silence fell on the scene, with the 24 monks at the head abbot's back lowering…-

As tumultuous events shook the east, a tanned and herculean Lianist monk knelt at the gilded steps of an ancient temple. A lotus sculpture hovered above the temple's flat roof, cast in pure gold and rippling with boundless Holy Force. A procession of Lianist monks stood on the stairs, two columns of 12, each wearing white monastic robes embroidered with a golden lotus. Radiant Lianist runes swirled around the 24 monks. A 25th monk led them all, an old, wrinkled and shriveled man with a long gray mustache…

With Taiyang Yuan back in seclusion, and the clan's retired elders currently requesting an audience in the Evernight Palace, this should have been a routine matter. But Jingzhao's announcement turned these plans upside down, putting the Divine Tailor in the limelight...even in the Central Domain. Did Xinzi care? Not that much. The attention wouldn't affect his plans significantly, and Tailor-Xinzi could leverage this "subsidy" to speed up the takeover of the Eastern Continent's…

Humans, spirits, demons, divines, it didn't matter. As far as he was concerned, all were selfish by nature. So, the notion of some unknown divine appearing out of nowhere to grant him a peerless treasure, all out of a consideration for a father he knew nothing about, was something he couldn't accept. Stricken by suspicion, Zhenwu Shenquan unleashed his Spiritual Sense, probing into the depths of the Demon Sealing Pagoda. A spiraling tunnel of Divine Power, Immortal Qi, and Higher Principles…

The faces of the 666,666 Heart Demons shifted in Xinzi's mind. Their emotions, ambitions, desires, all that ever represented them, burning in his soul. Over half a million individual personas, wiped out in a single move and consumed till nothing stayed behind. Well, not really. Their thoughts and emotions would remain, buried in Xinzi's soul. They weren't dead, just transitioning into particles of a new entity, or so Xinzi thought, at least. The average Heart Demons, those that…

Over the past three months, Xinzi had a secret, a dirty secret that he kept concealed from all Liberation Temple girls — Tusha included. He didn't have a choice. In each of these coffins lay a cultivator that had been drained to the last drop of blood by none other than Xinzi himself. This all started with the seven Hengye juniors that Xinzi drained in Night Flower City. Though his emotions still struggled to liberate themselves, his sensations remained. Worse, they'd been magnified…

If the Divine Tailor was the superstar that made countless ladies swoon and drew influential men's admiration, then the Bloodstone Patriarch was the terror whose sanguine mask and Thousand-Soul Immolation Flag kept the brave awake at night. But thankfully, he seemed content with the colossal mountain range occupied by the Bloodstone Cult, and didn't seem willing to add more territory to his portfolio — even the territory from conquered factions was either abandoned or left for vassals to…

Cultivation was by default a birth control mechanism. The higher the cultivation base, the more unlikely pregnancy became. Zi Yao couldn't expect that the days of corrupt bliss spent all around Xinzi's meat-stick would result in a belly that, if not for her alchemical delays, would have shown signs of swelling already. Worse, following the start of her pregnancy, her cultivation speed had risen abnormally. Add to that the pacification of the conflicting Divine Power and Evil Qi, the…

Skin, teeth, bones, organs, meat and blood, humans and Spirit cultivators had a lot to gain from hunting mysterious beasts. They could provide them with premium food to improve the talent and constitution of their juniors, materials to craft powerful artifacts, and even mounts to improve their mobility, prestige and battle prowess. Mysterious beasts too could gain from consuming their human and spirit enemies. But said humans and spirits gained drastically more from the hunt than the…

At that time, a voice, as powerful as seductive, reverberated throughout the Eastern Spirit Empire, reaching all its citizens. "For tens of thousands of years, the Eastern Continent has been exploiting the myriad beast clans, making livestock, pets, and beasts of burden out of our mortal brothers and sisters, while hunting down the mysterious beast clans for profit. Following the imperial enthronement of the Shentu clan, the situation went from bad to a complete…
