(MC POV) "Good day potential Heaven Sect members," I greeted while strolling into the Grand Courtyard. "I am Master Lin and I shall be the first test for your entry into Heaven Sect and your path to be a Practitioner."?? Murmurs immediately exploded throughout the courtyard though I paid no attention to its contents, my mind busy with thinking of what to say. "Know that the path ahead is not an easy one, but if you persevere and never falter, you will obtain what you seek." I crossed my arms,…

(Hooded Person POV) My name is Lian Li, one of the only survivors of the Autumn Massacre.?? I was born and raised in the village in the fringes of the BeiYang continent where our way of life centered around hunting animals and forestry. I was raised by my mother to be the perfect wife for my father's friend's son, whom they had arranged a marriage to before I was even born. I hated him. Just because Father's friend saved my mother's life, they made this stupid agreement without thinking…

"Oh, there are quite a number of promising students this year," an Elder commented. "Umu, the talents this time are quite surprising. I believe that group there cultivated the Phoenix Fire cultivation from the Phoenix Minor Sect, the Fire quark I sense from them is quite profound," another Elder nodded.?? "Hmm… I should probably get a new disciple as well. The Heavenly Storm Dragon Minor Sect sent a number of students this year. One of them surely would be able to comprehend the Hidden Thunder…

"Are you thinking of getting a disciple yourself, Master Lin?" Elder Qing asked as we made our way towards the Grand Hall. "Um… I'm still thinking about it," I answered honestly.?? Elder Qing nodded, "Hmm hmm, no need to rush yourself, you're still young after all, haha!" I smiled at his joke, I was the youngest amongst the Masters after all. In a sect, the hierarchy begins at the bottom with student Practitioners who have just joined the Sect. They will learn under teachers to control their…

I'm dead. What a way to go.?? I was supposed to be a genius back in the Earthen Plane, my strength and intellect were unrivalled garnering respect from all around me. I reached the prestigious rank of Master at my Heaven Sect at the young age of twenty where most people at that rank were well past their eighties. The praises and attention stoked my ego so much that I got too overconfident, thinking I could easily step foot into the higher Spiritual Plane without any consequences. I ascended too…

175 ****** The call came late in the morning, and if it had been almost anyone else, Alden would have ignored it. The auriad flashlight spell was an astounding work of art. The way the author had drawn the first joints of the fourth fingers in the second to last instructional diagram showed so much attention to precision and… And Evul-art’h’s name was in front of his eyes, blocking that diagram. He dropped the indigo loop, shook the tangles out, and shoved it all the way up his…-

More wizards arrived over the next few minutes. Alden answered questions and accepted compliments while he showed off the spread. Kabir was explaining the sweets. People circled the table, making approving comments about the fertility of the planet and the efforts of the ones who’d provided the food. A woman was taking pictures of each dish, and someone else was doing the same thing with the cards. “The shadow trees?” Alden said in reply to a man wearing a lime green auriad around his neck who’d…

173 ****** One on-stream bite of a grilled bell pepper to satisfy the fans pestering Jeffy for a glimpse of him. One nod at Konstantin, who was at the bottom of the staircase, scraping mashed potatoes and pieces of a broken bowl together while Søren apologized. One loud groan as he glanced at his social media account and saw all the requests for information about the heartwarming thing the teenager with the heartbreaking story was doing. One piece of origami paper collected from his desk drawer. One…

Alden’s head throbbed. His ears roared. Fury and flight speed were equally likely culprits. He jumped off the nonagon, taking in the situation as well as he could in this mood. Jeffy—cheerful beside the grill. Jupiter—floating peppers and looking intrigued. Drones—hovering, two of them filming, one doing something else. A few people were going in and out of the entrance to the girls’ building, which was almost hidden from this spot here in the cookout area at the back of the garden. And…

171 ****** Because he’d told Kabir he would take care of informing the generals, he’d sent a message to Drusi-otta earlier, asking her if it was all right to offer Esh-erdi and Lind-otta food gifted by humans who weren’t the official Matadero chef. Alden couldn’t bring himself to call Esh-erdi personally about it. “Are you too important to be in the presence of food made by people without a culinary degree?” was a bizarre distraction of a question, so…votary. He’d also updated the…
