"That junior brother is strong as hell. You sure you don't want to give him my spot? Never mind, you've just made him a named elder. I guess from now on I must call him Elder Xinzi—or 128th Elder…nah, Elder Xinzi is fine." Lying groggily in his Spiritual Cave, Zi Zuixian told Zi Yao, who stood just three steps away—staring at her nephew with cold, inexpressive eyes. "That's all you have to say? Zuixian, I know that you play the drunken waste to not alarm Hanxing. But if you don't get a grip, I…-

"If water is the foundation of life, then it goes without saying that the quest for immortality should start there as well." This ancient saying passed down from elders to juniors since time immemorial, defined the Qi Refinement and Foundation Building stages. The Qi Pool condensed through the accumulation and merging of Spiritual Drops pretty much decided whether or not junior experts had a shot at the Golden Core and Nascent Soul stages. And if there was one thing that talent—no matter how…

"Man proposes, Heaven disposes." This widespread saying might appeal to mortals, but in Xinzi's ears, the words sounded like the awkward jam of drunken zither enthusiasts. Was it not man's duty to ensure that Heaven couldn't "dispose" of his fate? The Armored Lion King's interruption did overhaul our monk's plans, but that didn't mean that he'd let nature take its course. If things took a turn for the worse, he'd adapt accordingly, and should a case arise where sacrifices needed to be made, then sacrifice…

For centuries, the Thousand Road mountain had managed the religious doctrines of Dongli, and just like the two other vassal sects, the Nameless Sword mountain and Albizia court, the monks of the Thousand Roads built their headquarters in the mountain ranges of the Xihai Prefecture—deep in the most luxurious part of Dongli. There, they received donations of all kinds from the millions of devout citizens, but as all Xihai-based faction had to indulge in criminal activities, the Thousand Road mountains also…

Previously in the Ice-Fire cave, as instructed by his Spiritual Sense, Xinzi's Klesha Heart settled on a rank three Mysterious Beast to demonize: a Snow Direwolf. The remaining Evil Qi in the True Devil's power orb was enough to turn a rank-three mysterious beast into a rank-six Ordained Demon Beast bound to Xinzi's Klesha Heart. But while our monk could have invested it in higher ranked beasts to produce a stronger demon, he had to keep the demonic creature at a level that wouldn't turn the whole Yanzhou…

While Qingxin maintained eye contact, his mind wandered to one of his past travels. Back then, the senior abbot had brought his new disciple to wander the Dongli state, moving from city to towns, valleys, villages and more. One certain village brought the trip to an abrupt end. There, as usual the villagers toiled—cultivating the land while praying to their folk gods so that nature wouldn't ruin their harvest. Harvest time approached, taxes had gone up, preventing even the village chief, an elderly…

The quantity of Spiritual Drops condensed in Qi Refinement pretty much decided the size of a cultivator's Qi Pool. The cultivation method impacted the quality, and when additional forces such as Evil Qi and Divine Power joined the dance, unpredictable results became the norm. Qingxin had seen and accomplished too much in his lifetime to be surprised by the oceanic size of Xinzi's Qi Pool. It was staggering for sure, but not something that defied his understanding. The nature and quality of it, however,…

In Chun Xu's personal quarters, an unconscious Xiao Hu rested on the Sword Fairy's bed, with said fairy sitting by her side, watching over her. Unspeakable words and emotions intertwined in the Sword Fairy's mind. Strands of red mist flickered within her pupils, and Tusha replaced her as the body's owner. By now, although Tusha and Xinzi usually picked perfect moments to have the infernal nun replace the Sword Fairy, Chun Xu had started to sense some inconsistencies—especially now that she knew Tusha…

"Master?" Xinzi's eyes widened at Qingxin, whose sudden appearance didn't delight him. The younger abbot didn't believe in outrageous coincidences. For Qingxin to appear at this precise moment showed that someway, somehow, he must have been observing his disciple's condition. What triggered the probe? When did he start? How did he do it? These were the words stirring Xinzi's mind, and though Qingxin couldn't hear his disciple's thoughts, he could see in his eyes that suspicion was his first reflex. This…

The canine's jagged fangs closed in on Xinzi's unprepared eyes. Instinctively, our monk tried to bend back, but with the lapse of time available, he couldn't move fast enough. Tusha outpaced him. Reacting faster than both Xinzi and Xue Yuanshao, the infernal nun placed her right arm before the canine's jaw, letting its fang sink in as her other arm wrapped around Xinzi and pulled him tight against her chest. For once, our monk didn't have the heart to enjoy this cushy feel. The canine's teeth cracked…
