Chapter 193 – Life 70, Age 25, Martial Grandmaster Peak

In the end, Ning ChenKun decided against joining us, and I couldn’t blame him. We weren’t willing to tell him anything about what was really going on, and even if we did, I knew it would be hard to accept. However, before he left, he shared so...

Chapter 192 – Life 70, Age 25, Martial Grandmaster Peak

There was a lot to fix in NanLu City, but before anything else, I had to work on its defenses. If I tried to improve my citizens’ quality of life first, hungry Lords from the surrounding lands would swoop down and destroy all my hard work.

Chapter 191 – Life 70, Age 25, Martial Grandmaster Peak

As it turned out, I was being a bit rash. Lord Hao was not, in point of fact, Lord Hao. Grandmaster Hao had yet to reach such a lofty position.

This was unfortunate, but I wasn’t going to allow it to delay us. After conferrin...

Chapter 190 – Life 70, Age 25, Martial Grandmaster Peak

Choosing the path we would walk on our way to Yellow City was more complicated than I had originally imagined. 

For LiTing, Yan, and Meng LuYao, the path that made the most sense was the Path of Soul. They had sufficient knowledge of hi...

Chapter 189 – Life 70, Age 24, Martial Grandmaster 4

Upon leaving the Metal Peak, I found JiaQi standing near the Gateway Plaza and waving at me. After a quick greeting, she led me to an apartment complex where everyone else had already settled in. 

Upon entering, I said nothing to my fri...

Chapter 188 – Life 70, Age 24, Martial Grandmaster 4

Author's Note: Change Kang LuYao to Meng LuYao. Sorry for the confusion.

---------------------------------------------------

In the brief time I had before the sect’s Entrance Exam, I quickly raised my cultivation level as much as I ...

Chapter 187 – Life 70, Age 17, Martial Disciple 1

Author's Note: Change Kang LuYao to Meng LuYao. Former was too close to the name of a real person, and thought it would be best to create more separation as the character's role has expanded.

-------------------------------------------------...

Chapter 186 – Life 70, Age 16, Martial Disciple 1

If I wanted my ambitious ideas for this life to come to fruition, I had a lot of work to do. Designing the cultivation technique I had in mind was far beyond anything I had done before, and it would require all the time and effort I could give it....

Chapter 185 – Life 70, Age 16, Martial Disciple 1

After appearing in an alley in South Gate City, I headed directly for the area of town with the Blue Wind Pavilion. When I found an inn that looked nice but not too fancy, I went inside and booked a room.

Before anything else, I needed to ge...

Chapter 184 – Life 69, Age 16, Martial Disciple 1

I woke up in a carriage, and my first thoughts were of being savaged by a wild dog, but I quickly squashed them. I had work to do, and I needed to get it done.

My 100-year plan was basically at an end. I was using a technicality in the rules...

Chapter 183 – Life 68, Age 64, Martial Emperor 1

I only had four years before I needed to die and reset.

After laying everything out to my friends and allies, I dedicated myself wholeheartedly to reaching Peak Emperor before this deadline, but it didn’t take long for me to understand the...

Chapter 182 – Life 68, Age 64, Martial Emperor 1

After passing through the final opening, we were teleported somewhere new. While we were still standing in the middle of a cloud bank, our visibility had improved, and we could now see up to a dozen meters away.

In the middle of the clearing...

Chapter 181 – Life 68, Age 59, Martial Emperor 1

Our meeting with ChenKun was brief and to the point.

He had five spots for subordinates. Two would go to others, one would go to Yan, and one would go to me. He offered the last spot to LiTing, but having thought about it over the past sever...

Chapter 180 – Life 68, Age 51, Martial King Peak

Even though I now had a better understanding of what I needed to do to make my dreams for my storage space a reality, I had to set that task aside for the moment. 

The scroll given to me by Emperor Shen included instructions for both ca...

Chapter 179 – Life 68, Age 51, Martial King Peak

A day after we arrived, Ning ChenKun’s deathsworn and two of the students who had been traveling with him joined us in Earth City. The other two who had left Profound City with us had fallen on the Path of Soul. Adding in the one we lost on the ...

Chapter 178 – Life 68, Age 46, Martial King 1

I had two options for which set of tests I could take, formation specialist or alchemist. As a member of the Earth Peak, I should take the formation specialist route as it had been made clear in my last life that walking a path other...

Chapter 177 – Life 68, Age 46, Martial King 1

Before rejoining the School of the Great Teacher, my martial and formation skills were already reaching the limit of what I could accomplish with my current cultivation level, so beginning my star there, I shifted my focus more toward alchemy. Whe...

Chapter 176 – Life 68, Age 44, Martial King 1

What should I do to assist the School of the Great Teacher? That question had been running through my mind constantly over the past year. 

If they were only facing an internal crisis of confidence, I would have considered not intervenin...

Chapter 175 – Life 68, Age 43, Martial King 1

Out in the wilderness with students who knew nothing about soul cultivation, maintaining the appearance of the ‘Great Teacher’ hadn’t been too difficult. I had several libraries worth of books at my fingertips, and I could use them to addres...

Chapter 174 – Life 68, Age 39, Martial Lord 4

I was about to lose my largest backing in this world, and if Ning ChenKun had any ulterior motives, this would be the perfect time to put them into action. He had said he wanted me to join the Ning Clan, but how sincere had he been?

More imp...

Chapter 173 – Life 68, Age 39, Martial Lord 4

As I was sitting alone in a cultivation cave working on breaking through to Martial Lord 5, I received a visitor who I had hoped to not meet again until I had more power to defend myself.

An old, emaciated man walked into my cave. He wore ro...

Chapter 172 – Life 68, Age 38, Martial Lord 1

I stared at the message I had left for myself.

Torture. Were they torturing everyone during the Exam Trials? Was that the true reason we weren’t allowed to remember anything that happened inside? What was the point of it all?

I had t...

Chapter 171 – Life 68, Age 38, Martial Lord 1

Stepping through the stone arch caused my surroundings to flash, but it appeared as if I hadn’t moved. The only changes of note were that the stone arch had vanished and there was now a large desk in the middle of the road with an ...

Chapter 170 – Life 68, Age 36, Martial Lord 1

For several days after meeting those young men, my life with LiTing alone in the forest continued as normal as we cultivated our souls while discussing philosophy. Unfortunately, the peace and tranquility of our seclusion was broken when an alarm ...

Chapter 169 – Life 68, Age 36, Martial Grandmaster Peak

After entering the Path of Soul, I didn’t feel even a twinge from the soul pressure that I was supposed to be under. With the defenses provided by my soul cultivation technique, this level of pressure was entirely meaningless. 

LiTing...

Chapter 168 – Life 68, Age 36, Martial Grandmaster Peak

The Path of Body that led to Yellow City looked very different from the one on the way to Earth City. Instead of being a dense jungle, this one was more like a rocky wasteland.

The entrance to the path was a stone arch that made my space aff...

Chapter 167 – Life 68, Age 36, Martial Grandmaster Peak

With 100 stages to complete, I needed to be extremely efficient. I had reason to believe I could complete 50 in one day, but I didn’t believe for a moment that the second 50 would be as easy as the first 50.

My quickest and most stamina-ef...

Chapter 166 – Life 68, Age 34, Martial Grandmaster 7

I was Grandmaster 7 and LiTing was Grandmaster 4, but before leaving Mortal City, we both needed to reach Peak Grandmaster. 

We could have tried to rush through Yellow City as quickly as possible in an attempt to evade Lord Hao, but doi...

Chapter 165 – Life 68, Age 34, Martial Grandmaster 7

After escaping through the forest and returning safely to Golden River City, our group quickly made its way back to the sect.

As we had killed our ambushers, we wouldn’t be getting any contribution points for the mission, but I still neede...
